Oh no, Sir Charles!
Hoops legend Charles Barkley was busted for suspected drunken driving Wednesday - and made things worse by admitting he was rushing to pick up a woman for a sex act.
"I was going to drive around the corner and get [oral sex]," the basketball Hall of Famer told police in Scottsdale, Ariz., a police report said.
He said the woman had performed the sex act for him last week and "it was the best one he had ever had," the report said.
Barkley, 45, was pulled over around 1:30 a.m. A cop saw him blow through a red light, then pull over to pick up the woman, who wasn't charged.
"I am disappointed that I put myself in that situation," Barkley said.
The burly retired superstar was seen partying at a club with ex-Giants star Michael Strahan and Jaleel White, who played the nerdy Steve Urkel on the sitcom "Family Matters."
Gossip site thedirty.com posted a credit card receipt showing Barkley paid for six bottles of booze at $300 a pop and left a respectable $350 tip.
The TNT commentator was given a blood test. A mug shot posted by thesmokinggun.com showed Barkley looking a bit scruffy and sweaty.
The police report said Barkley jokingly offered to "tattoo" a cop's name on his rear end if it would get him out of trouble.
Across the country, Hollywood star Matt Dillon, 44, was pulled over in Newbury, Vt., after cops clocked him at 106 mph, 41 mph over the limit.
The "Crash" star was pulled over at about 10 p.m. Tuesday. There was no suspicion that alcohol was involved.
