Josh Brolin’s wife Diane Lane wants him to stop drinking & carousing?

Let’s start by saying this is a Star Magazine story so the credibility factor goes down a bit. But reportedly Josh Brolin‘s lovely wife Diane Lane, is said to be both mortified and angry over the arrest of her husband after an alleged drunken brawl in a Shreveport, Louisiana bar.  Apparently, this isn’t the first time Josh’s drinking has been an issue for the couple, and now sources say that Diane is fed up and wants Josh to choose between her or the alcohol.

As widely reported, Josh and several crew members went out to party on July 11 after finishing up work on Oliver Stone’s biopic, W, in which he plays President George W. Bush. According to the tabloid’s source, as the night wore on, the group got drunker and became too flirtatious with female patrons at Shreveport’s Stray Cat bar. When several local men told Josh and friends to back off, the situation quickly turned violent- and the police pepper sprayed and arrested Josh along with six others, including Jeffrey Wright, who plays Colin Powell in the movie.

“All these problems have taken a huge toll on his wife,” said an insider. Making matters worse, less than a week after the arrest, Josh was spotted outside a Santa Monica bar on July 19, exchanging words with Sean Penn after he was accused of getting touchy-feely with his wife, Robin Wright Penn.

And this isn’t the first time Josh’s wild ways have landed him in hot water. Josh, was also allegedly booted out of the Whiskey Bar at the W Hotel in Westwood, California, last month for aggressively hitting on women.

The insider tells Star: “Diane gave Josh an ultimatum – it’s her or the bottle.”  “She is tired of him going out and acting like a frat boy. She’s worried sick about him every time he leaves the house.”

Perhaps with good reason!
