With bloodshot and watery eyes and breath reeking of alcohol, Jeffrey Donovan told police he didn't think he was that impaired when he nearly hit a patrol car in Miami Beach, according to authorities.

"I really think I'm only borderline and not too drunk," the Burn Notice star said to officers, according to a report. He also allegedly said: "The only mistake I made tonight was drinking Benadryl and three glasses of wine."

That, and failing a roadside sobriety test, police said.

Donovan, 41, was arrested July 11 after a late-night incident in which his 2009 Audi "quickly swerved in order to avoid striking the rear of the patrol car," his arrest affidavit states.

Donovan, who refused to take a Breathalyzer test, was booked at Miami Beach police headquarters and released several hours later.

His rep declined to comment.

I've bought Seasons 1 + 2 and keeping up with 3 now. I'm hooked. I was let down the Unit was canceled, but this is more than an equal replacement.

Westin and the detective last seaon made for some funny times. Fiona is just too darn hot.

Yeah totally. I am hooked to the show. I watched Season 1 and 2 in just a week or so...

I agree, Fiona is too hot! Westin is funny!

Burn Notice Panel

The Burn Notice panel was a very popular event in Ballroom 20 on Thursday at Comic-Con. Michael Shanks moderated. When he was announced, I wasn?t sure my hearing would survive, but it did.

The panel had Ben Shenkman, Matt Nix, Alfredo Barrios jr., actor Jay Karns, actor Seth Petersen and Bruce Campbell. When Bruce came out, the crowd went berserk and I finally did lose my hearing. Twilighters have nothing on this group.

The panel had a few great videos. One of them had Michael Westen narrating how to not miss any Comic-Con panels. It?s simple really. All you have to do is create a problem that delays one of the other panels to give you enough time to get over to it. Of course Michael Westen?s methods always appeal to me, so I?m not going to describe it. It?s mine, and several hundred others secret now.

We then got a bit of a sneak peek at scenes from this season?s final episodes this year. I have to say, explosions in Ballroom 20 are so much better than in my living room.

Matt Nix jumped right into the fray and talked about Michael?s missing mystery father. He humorously noted that Micheal?s father did not burn him. That was our huge inside scoop. He added a bit about the addition of family to the show, saying that spies don?t always have families and it was a great angle to add to the show.

Pretty much, the panel was about Bruce Campbell, even when he tried to let the other personalities have the chat time.

Someone yelled out they love Bruce. Campbell got up, called them up to the stage and gave them money for saying it. (I?ll presume the denomination of a $20 bill, but I wasn?t close enough to see.)

He was asked what part of Sam?s character are more like or least like Bruce himself.

Most like: He wears those shirts all the time.

Least likely: his wife doesn?t let him sleep with rich Miami women.

Bruce couldn?t help himself and brought up that there?s a new Evil Dead movie, and he?s going to call it Dead Notice. People enjoyed that levity directed towards everyone?s desire to see a new Evil Dead movie.

Matt Nix added, while thinking on this new idea, There?s a reason you want to fight a zombie with a chain saw. LOL, I can hear Michael?s voice on that one.

I?ve never actually caught on to this, but they have little Easter Egg-like nuggets through the show. Has anyone noticed that one of Fiona?s boyfriends name is Campbell? The different restaurants they visit are named after the writers children and other little bits. Now we?ll have to start paying close attention.

Michael Shanks is pretty snarky & witty and as he opened up the floor to attendee questions, he noted how these ?can be so interesting!?

Bruce Campbell was asked how to start being a film maker, considering his origins. he said don?t copy anyone. Do things that people will want to copy from you.

They?re almost done shooting this season and they?re looking for fun things to do with Michael?s brother and I swore I hear them say ?or another brother.?

In case you?re wondering, the naming of Brennan?s Yogurt led to 3 hour argument about what to name it.

Someone asked about a Burn Notice movie and Matt Nix said let?s put it to the people and asked the crowd. the crowd lit up and my ears were done.

Bruce noted that Matt Nix does not use digital explosions. They?ve apparently blown a house off it?s foundation with their explosions. Nice!

Someone asked if they would quit letting Sam get his butt kicked. Bruce then asked the guy to come up, and gave out more money!

How do they come up with the Macgyverisms / voice overs: The show has a former intelligence operative as a consultant, that and the internet.

It was asked if Bruce offered a role in Drag Me To Hell. Bruce said, no and then proceeded to hem and haw and said that Sam will pay for that and have to put him in Spider-Man 4, 5 and 6.

Someone asked Matt nix if he has Bruce help him write the funny lines of the show. Someone else just made $20 more bucks.

Bruce noted out loud, ?How was Comic-Con Bruce?? He answered himself: ?Expensive!?

A guy dressed up as a jester ran up to the mic and Shanks said ?Oh, we gotta hear this one.? But the Jester was overtaken with another instructional video from Micheal Westen on surviving Comic-Con.

This was a fun panel between Shanks, Campbell and the videos - fun and interactive panel.

USA's two highly successful Thursday night shows, Burn Notice and Royal Pains,have just been given the green light for new seasons by the basic cable channel, says The Hollywood Reporter. Word of the renewals come hot on the heels of July 9 stats that showed the Fox TV-produced Burn Notice and Universal Cable's Royal Pains pulling in a strong 7.1 million and 7.3 million viewers, respectively.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
