HONOLULU (AP) – Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros, who star on ABC’s “Lost,” were arrested within 15 minutes of each other in Kailua for allegedly driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

Both failed field sobriety tests and were released Thursday on $500 bail each, police said. The actresses, who were in separate cars, were arrested after their vehicles were spotted weaving on Pali Highway, which connects Kailua and Honolulu, police said.

Watros, who portrays Libby on “Lost,” was arrested at 12:05 a.m. Rodriguez, who plays Ana Lucia, was arrested at 12:20 a.m., according to police records. Rodriguez was booked under the name Mayte Michelle Rodriguez.

A telephone call left with Rodriguez’s publicist, Marcel Pariseau, wasn’t immediately returned Friday. Watros’ publicist, Dominique Appel, said Friday that she had no comment.

Rodriguez, 27, and Watros, 37, were to appear at a driver’s license revocation hearing at Kaneohe District Court on Dec. 29, police records showed.

Motorists arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant automatically have their driver’s license revoked. They are given a temporary license that allows them to drive, but under several restrictions.

Bands, singers raise funds

LONDON (AP) – The Black Eyed Peas, The Cure and Avril Lavigne are among the artists recording songs by John Lennon to raise funds for Amnesty International.

The first four tracks will be released Dec. 10, International Human Rights Day. They include the Black Eyed Peas’ version of “Power to the People,” The Cure’s take on “Love,” “Isolation” by Snow Patrol and “Grow Old With Me” by The Postal Service.

The tracks will be available as downloads from www.amnesty.org/noise.

More songs, including one by Lavigne, will be released next year as part of the “Make Some Noise” campaign, the human rights group said Thursday. A compilation album also will be released.

The campaign aims to “bring an awareness of human rights to a new generation,” said Irene Khan, Amnesty International secretary-general.

“After all, human rights are what make music possible – we wouldn’t be able to create music, listen to it or dance to it without freedom of speech, expression and association,” Khan said.

Lennon was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his New York apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. His widow, Yoko Ono, donated the rights to his solo songbook to Amnesty International in 2003.
