Jessica Simpson Picks Up BFF Lane Garrison from Prision

April 28, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Ex “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison is making a break from it – No, he’s not breaking out of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California where he has been living out his sentence since December 2007. The former actor will be a free man, scheduled to be released tomorrow from prison. But just who will be there to pick up the convict when he’s released? Rumor has it that its none other than childhood friend Jessica Simpson.

Per National Ledger:

“Jessica wanted to pick Lane up herself, but she can’t,” her pal explains. “So she hired a limo for a few friends to be there once Lane walks out.”

Wow, a limo to pick you up from prison? Something about that just screams trashy! I guess he is a high class felon. However, I find it hard to view this idiot as anything but “Tweener” from the local Ace Hardware store. But then again this IS Jessica Simpson we’re talking about…. Anything for publicity!

Garrison is being released from prison after serving roughly half of his sentence for a 2006 DUI crash that left one of his teenage passengers dead and injured two others. He was sentenced on Oct. 31, 2007, to 40 months in state prison, deducting the 91 days for time spent in custody before sentencing, after pleading guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. Lawyers for Garrison had pushed for probation, but Garrison got off lucky with the sentence he did receive, because he could have been locked up for nearly seven years. He’s received time off his sentence for good behavior and for participating in a substance-abuse treatment program, serving as a peer mentor to other inmates.

Lets hope he can turn his life around after this lucky break he’s receiving.

Phil Spector Guilty of Second Degree Murder Plus Mug Shot

April 14, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

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

April 13, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

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.

Rapper T.I. Prison Sentence

March 27, 2009 By Crista Webster 4 Comments

Rapper Clifford Harris, aka T.I., aka T.I.P. (i.e. I am getting too old to follow all of these aliases), was sentenced today to one year and one day in prison.

T.I. pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge stemming from an arrest in October of 2007. He agreed to complete 1,000 hours of community service prior to his sentencing, pay $100,000 in fines, and complete an additional 500 hours of community service once his prison term is over.
T.I. has received praise from many, including the Northern Georgia district judge who sentenced him, for going above and beyond what expected of him as part of his plea deal.

T.I. worked off some of those community service hours working on the MTV documentary “Road To Redemption” in which the rapper intervened in the lives of various troubled youths to help get them back on the right track.

Today, he released the following statement:

Via E! Online:

“Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all. Everything I learned was through trial and error. I’ve learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won’t make the same mistakes as I.”

It was also acknowledged by court officials that Harris would receive credit for the 305 days he spent under house arrest. He will also be eligible for early release pending good behavior. Judging by his recent Vegas crotch exposure in which he rubbed a shirt over his sweaty man-hood and threw it to his fans….he’ll love jail. Don’t worry T.I., if Paris Hilton can make it a month in the pokey, you will be fine.

Howard K. Stern Arrested for Anna Nicole Related Drug Felony

March 13, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

It’s about time the justice system did something to this creep. Anna Nicole Smith’s longtime lawyer and short-time husband Howard K. Stern has was arrested in Los Angeles yesterday for allegedly conspiring to fuel an addict with prescription drugs. The addict in question was Anna Nicole Smith.

Stern was arrested along with two of Smith’s “doctors”, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich. All three have been charged with a total of eight felonies.

Via TMZ.com:

“According to the L.A. County D.A., the conspiracy counts allege the three defendants conspired to furnish controlled substances to Smith between July, 2004 and January 2007.”

A prescription for methadone written by Kapoor to an alias often used by Anna Nicole, was given date a mere 13 days prior to the birth of Smith’s daughter with Larry Birkhead, Dannilynne.

Though our hearts here at Hollywood Dame are shriveled and cold, what little feeling we do have goes out to those who really loved Anna Nicole.

With any luck, Stern can hire Bobby Trendy to decorate is 8 X 8 cell. I hear he’s looking for work.

Adnan Ghalib to be Deported to Afghanistan

March 12, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Britney Spears’ parasite may finally be someone else’s problem. Bust out the champagne and nacho buffet in celebration.

After hitting a court official with his car and facing several charges, Adnan Ghalib may be thrown in jail or even deported. He might be shipped back to Afghanistan if he is found guilty and the judge orders the deportation punishment. He is facing charges that include assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and battery.

It is up in the air as to his official legal papers state his native country is listed as. He was born in raised in Afghanistan until moving to Birmingham at the age of 5. He is legally aloud to work in the United States.

Via Daily Mail:

‘The country of citizenship listed on the legal files is where someone convicted of a serious crime will be deported to whether they hold a green card or not,’ a source from the Los Angeles police told People News. ‘There is some confusion on his court documents over where he comes from. Some list the country as Afghanistan, but another states his nationality as British.’

We will find out on April 2nd when he is due in court for a hearing. Let’s hope he gets flushed back to whatever toilet he crawled out of.

Chris Brown Could Go Unpunished Due to Rihanna Beating Photo Leak

February 21, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

TMZ reportedly shelled out $62,500 for the photo of Rihanna’s bruised and beaten face. Police have been investigating the leak and have discovered a suspect according to reports. Insiders at TMZ have revealed that a “law enforcement insider” was paid the lump sum in exchange for the photo. (See the photos of the post Rihanna Beating HERE.)

Per Media Buffet:

“The source of the photo leak, a law enforcement insider close to the investigation, reportedly raked in $62.5k, double the salary of the person suspected of leaking the pic. Sources state TMZ pays a relative or friend of the snitch within 24 hours of receipt of a photo to cover their tracks. TMZ has been in the business of paying high dollar amounts for coveted pix.”

Also pointed out is the fact that the leaked photo will have more than just personal ramifications. According to sources LAPD is worried that the leak will effect the case being built against Chris Brown.

Via Media Buffet:

“Brown, even if guilty, could walk free because of the unauthorized release of this photo,” says and LAPD source. Insiders say LAPD brass is “furious, subpoenas [sic] have already gone out.”

By my research it is more likely to have an effect on the jury pool than the case itself. But with a good attorney you never know…

Rihanna’s Herpes Cause for Chris Brown Fight ???

February 10, 2009 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

The internet blew up with questions at to whether or not Rihanna’s alleged herpes caused the fight between her and boyfriend Chris Brown. The rumor is that she failed to mention that she has the STD and Brown got it. He became furious and the fight ensued.

From what I am hearing there is little support behind the this theory. According to sources she was upset with him for looking at other women at the Pre-Grammy party and he received text messages from an alleged mistress. They began to argue about it in the car and things became physical. Another source told NY Daily News that Chris saw Rihanna dancing with another man and he became enraged with jealousy. Either way, the injuries she has sustained are being called “horrific” by police leaks.

A case is being built against Brown and Rihanna is cooperating with the investigation that could land her (hopefully former) boyfriend in jail for up to 9 years. Lets hope that justice is served because it is NEVER ok to resort to violence.
