John Gallian Guilty of Hate Crimes

A Parisian court has slapped John Galliano with a HATER sticker and fined the former Dior designer.

Several different reports on his sentencing give different fines ranging from 6,000-17,500 euros. GQ reports he will have to pay 1,000 euros per victim along with 4,000 in other fines. He will only have to pay the other charges if he continues any further onslaughts of being a drunken belligerent mess on an anti-Semitic rant.

Britney Spears Caused Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel Split ?!

Here is some shiz that will make you laugh. Britney Spears allegedly “blames herself” for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s break up. File this one under Yeah Okay…

A “source” allegedly told Showbiz Spy that Britney feels guilty that Justin hasn’t had a successful relationship since their split.

“Britney thinks Justin has never got over her even though she has moved on from the girl she was back then,” reveals a source close to the singer. She still has feelings for him of course but she wonders if Justin has issues trying to recapture what they once had together.”

This is some John Mayer level of narcissism. However, I am guessing the “source” is about as real as Keanu Reeves’ secret love child. Reports also followed that Mila Kunis was the reason they split after reports that Mila and Justin became more than just friends (Click HERE for those reports…) Timberlake also told Olivia Munn back in late January that he and Biel were splitting up after he and Olivia hooked up. (Click HERE for that original story…)

A more reliable source (via People) said that their relationship had simply run it’s course and no one was to blame:

“It really was mutual,” the source says. “There really wasn’t a final straw. They’re just two people who realized they wanted different things in life and were headed in different directions.”

Britney, Mila, Olivia, Jessica, Justin’s alleged sluttery/boredom or whatever the reason behind the split, Sassy Tom Brady doesn’t approve…

Chris Browns’ Larry King Live Interview – Video

Chris Brown has appeared on “Larry King Live” to plead his case in the court of public opinion claiming he was ashamed of himself for assaulting his girlfriend at the time Rihanna, but says he wouldn’t go into the details of the evening out of respect for Rihanna’s privacy. Brown appeared with his mother Joyce Hawkins and lawyer Mark Geragos and tried his best to explain why he lost his temper with her.

Per Examiner:

“I feel like that just there — there’s — we’re young. We’re both young. So nobody taught us how to love one another. Nobody taught us a book on how to control our emotions or our anger.”

Thats the biggest bs excuse I’ve heard as of yet. Chris also blamed his mother’s abusive husband, claiming he doesn’t remember the incident happening. He also stated that he may have become violent because of his age. Sounds to me like a typical abuser, always placing the blame elsewhere except on your own shoulders. Brown, who also told King that he’s still in love with Rihanna and even said he could see a situation where the two could potentially be married in the future, pleaded guilty in June to felony assault and was sentenced to five years’ probation, 180 days of community service, and a year-long domestic violence program, but no jail time. There is also a protective stay away order in effect for Rihanna against Brown.

Per Examiner:

“As far as the actual, what I have to do, I felt personally that, as far as, not saying as a celebrity, because I don’t exclude myself and try to become like, oh, well I’m a celebrity so I shouldn’t be punished. But I feel like, with what I’m capable of doing, as far as influencing people, influencing kids, the youth, I can do a lot more to help the community, other then picking up trash. But, I don’t, I’m not saying picking up trash is something wrong, I’m willing to do it, I’m just saying I know I can do a lot more, which I intend to do, aside from my community service.”

Sorry Chris, but I believe you’re now one of the last people we want influencing today’s children. In spite of the pleas agreement, Brown seems determined to downplay the incident going so far as to questioning whether the photo of Rhianna’s bruised and battered was altered because “That’s not who I am as a person”. When King brought up the prior incidents that were unearthed in Brown’s probation report, an argument overseas and an incident in Barbados where Brown allegedly broke a car window after a fight, the singer refuted any suggestion that the occurrences were evidence of previous abuse and claimed those events never happened.

Per Examiner:

“I’m not aware of those instances,” he explained. “Especially of that nature … as a couple we have had arguments, but nothing to this point.”

Selective memory at its finest. I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering what his ultimate goal for doing the interview in the first place, but I’ve got some theories. None of them being sincere.

Chris Brown Gets Probation For Beating Rihanna

Ugh. This is so gross I can barely report it.

chris-brown-court-1

Chris Brown took a plea bargain in his assault case against former girlfriend, Rihanna. In exchange for a guilty plea, Brown will get five years probation and have to serve 180 days doing community service in his home state of Virginia.

Following the hearing, Brown’s lawyer, Mark Gregaros, addressed the media because he likes to hear his own voice and bought a new suit for the occasion.

Via US Weekly:

“This is a kid who has never been in trouble before, who wants to move past this. He has accepted responsibility and will continue to do so. He embraces this as an opportunity to get his life back on track and his career back on track.”

Oh well, if he’s never been in trouble before, by all means, use any lady you’d like as a punching bag.

On top of the probation and community service, the judge also ordered a protective order forbidding the singer from contacting Rihanna and a 50 yard stay-away order which demands that both parties keep their distance from one another.

Rihanna was present but was not called upon to testify.

After Brown left the courthouse, Rihanna and her attorney met with the judge to discuss the stay-away order. The judge in this case, Patricia Schnegg, conveyed to the “Umbrella” singer that she also is not allowed to contact Brown under the protection order and stay-away agreement.

If only the girls on the Maury Povich Show could be afforded the same opportunity we wouldn’t be subjected to the “…but I love him” defense.

Phil Spector Guilty of Second Degree Murder Plus Mug Shot

In case you haven’t already heard, legendary record producer, Phil Spector, has been convicted of second degree murder in the 2003 slaying of actress Lana Clarkson.

Via CNN.com:

“Wearing a black suit with a red tie and pocket square, Spector showed no reaction as the verdict was announced. Now 69, he faces a sentence of 18 years to life in prison when he is sentenced May 29. Asked if he agreed to the sentencing date, Spector quietly answered, ‘Yes.’”

Spector’s current wife, Rachelle was in attendance to hear the verdict but did not comment.
Spector and his attorneys plan to appeal the decision.

What confuses me the most is Phil Spectors mug shot. He looks like a fish on acid who happened to steal Stan Zbornak’s toupee (ten bonus points to the first person who can identify Stan Zbornak).

Spector was first tried for this crime in 2007. That let to a mistrial in which the deadlocked jury favored conviction 10-2.

Chris Brown Dating New Girls, Erica Jackson and Natalie Mejia

Chris Brown is so over Rihanna and their spat that he is dating another woman already. Just after pleading his innocence he has started making headway with Erica Jackson.

Chris and Erica had dated before his rise to fame. They were once a solid couple and Brown hasn’t been shy about “parading” his reheated relationship around. He reportedly went back to his hometown to regroup and ran into his ex. She offered a shoulder to cry and he accepted.

Via NY Daily News:

“They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”

Jackson is a polar opposite of Rihanna according to the loose lipped sources.

“She’s more of a plain Jane — cute though,” says our source. “Erica has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid. At the very least, she’s helping to ease Chris’ pain over Rihanna. He was mad in love with that girl.”

Reps for the accused singer claim that there is not truth to a new woman in Brown’s life. Despite being seen with Erica at a tattoo parlor on Sunset Blvd. on Saturday, reps insist he “doesn’t even know” who she is. Another rumor states that he dating Natalie Mejia from the band Girlicious. This is said to be the girl in the tattoo parlor. (See Photo Above.)

Should a new lady in Chris’ life be true, RiRi is going to be pissed. I am sure Barney’s and Wet Seal will be feeling the wrath of her credit cards because I feel a makeover coming on. She and Lindsay Lohan can pick out matching weaves and cry over tubs of Ben and Jerry’s while watching “Beaches” together.

OJ Simpson Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison

OJ Simpson may have gotten away with murdering his wife Nicole Simpson, but was found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping.

He was a part robbery in a Las Vegas hotel back in 2007. The 6 minute incident is costing him at least 15 years in jail with just over 2 years of possible extension.

“Simpson remained calm while his tough sentence was delivered by Nevada judge Jackie Glass. The judge stressed that she was not sentencing him for any previous actions besides those for which he was currently on trial – an obvious reference to the deaths of Brown and Goldman.

The judge added that she respected the decision of the jury in the current case. “The problem is that I can’t ignore that the behavior at the time … was reckless … A gun was used … property was stolen … and now I will sentence you,” Judge Glass said.”

OJ Simpson was denied bail and is sitting in the slammer as of this moment. Ron Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman was happy to hear the “monster” that took his son’s life is behind bars.

“There’s never closure, Ron is always gone, but what we have is satisfaction that this monster is behind bars where he belongs.”

My thoughts are with the family and friends who have waited for this day.

Anand Jon Guilty of 20 Rape Counts – Court Photo

Designer, and friend to some celebrities, Anand Jon will be spending the rest of his life in jail. He was a friend to some A-list celebs such as Paris Hilton and Mary J. Blige. and was even featured on “America’s Next Top Model.“ Jon was found guilty of 16 counts of sexual assault, lewd conduct with minors, forcible rap and forcible oral copulation. He managed to get an acquittal of 4 other charges and a deadlocked jury on 3 other counts. However he was slapped with a guilty charge for sexual penetration by a foreign object, oral copulation of a person under 18 and unlawful sexual intercourse.

“Mr. Alexander is a 34-year-old pedophile masquerading as a fashion designer,” said deputy district attorney Frances Young during a press conference following the verdicts. Young prosecuted the case with DDA Mara McIlvain.

His victims typically ranged from 14 to 21 years old. He lured them with promises of modeling jobs and gifts of hotel stays. He will be serving 67 years be he is eligible for parole.

Sounds like justice to me.
