BEHOLD… the mugshot Nivea said didn’t exisit! (If looks could kill, we’d all be 6 feet under right now!)

I broke the story about Nivea’s DUI early Sunday morning >>> (click HERE if you missed it) but TMZ broke the mugshot! (Although, Lord knows I searched for it. *sigh*)

According to law enforcement sources … Nivea was on the road around 1:30 AM on Sunday when she plowed her ’06 Mercedes right into a tree that had fallen into the road during a recent storm.

We’re told when cops arrived at the scene, Nivea had “bloodshot, glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol.” Nivea told police she only had 3 drinks earlier in the evening … and didn’t see the bright yellow crime tape and the traffic cones directing cars away from the downed tree.

Nivea was eventually arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and reckless driving. We’re told the child in the car was not injured and was released to Nivea’s boyfriend.

I guess there’s no need for me to worry about that slander case huh?
