Sean Penn Case Closed

Posted by Megan MacKay on March 29th, 2011

It looks like Sean Penn’s previously pending paparazzi case is closed almost a year after the incident took place.

Penn plead no contest to vandalism after kicking a photographer in the knee, apparently giving the paparazzo a serious joint injury.  The actor got 36 months probation and 300 hours of community service, along with being required to pay an undisclosed sum of money.

Moral of the story: not even Sean Penn can get away with an occasional knee-kick every now and then.

Both sides have signed the required documents and the case is officially closed.

Hollywood justice has been served.

Mel Gibson Gets 16 Hours of Community Service

Posted by Megan MacKay on March 21st, 2011

That’s it?!

Anti-semite and wife beater Mel Gibson plead no contest to simple battery in a case against ex-wife Oksana Grigorieva and was sentenced to a mere 16 hours of community service.

You must be kidding us!! That’s literally nothing.

Worse yet, Gibson has chosen to carry out the sentence at ex-wife Robyn Gibson’s charity Mending Kids International, which means he’ll be around children for most or all of his 16 hours of service.

Surprisingly, parents haven’t complained. One family, in fact, came forward to Gibson’s defense, claiming he footed the bill for their son’s spinal surgery back in the day.

“If Mel was coming over to our house to play ball with my son,” the father said, “I would not be the least bit concerned.”

The monetary support is obviously a huge deal, but how about that crazy hate doctrine Gibson’s been spewing? Do you REALLY want your kids around that?

We don’t know about this….

Lil Wayne Released, Probation Looms

Posted by Jacob Morris on November 5th, 2010

If you’re a fan of Lil Wayne, you know that he’s been released from jail.  Now that he’s out of the slammer, though, he must serve three years of probation.

TMZ reports that Weezy landed in Yuma, Arizona to meet with the local probation department and start the three year sentence.

The incident that landed the rapper in prison in the first place occurred in Yuma at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, where officers found cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun.  The felony drug charge is what put Weezy behind bars, with the other charges being dropped.

Lil Wayne will serve three years of unsupervised probation and also must complete 360 hours of community service—which will be carried out where he lives in Miami.

Sources say that if Lil Wayne has good behaviour, he might be able to get the felony charge dropped to a misdemeanour, which would be a positive if the rapper feels the need to go on tour with a bus filled with firearms and drugs.

T.I. Out of Jail but on Probation

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 26th, 2010

It has been a long road of redemption for the rapper but T.I. (real name Clifford Joseph Harris) is out of jail, according to MTV. His incarceration stemmed from a 2007 arrest where he attempted to buy firearms illegally.

The rapper was originally sentenced to 366 days in prison, however in December he was placed at a halfway house. Earlier this month he was allowed to return home to finish the remainder of his sentence.

However T.I. still has some of his debt to repay to society. According to TMZ, his lawyer says that he will be placed under “supervised release” for 23 days. What this means is T.I. must be home by 11 p.m. unless he’s performing, in which case his curfew is extended until 1 a.m.

Additionally Harris must complete 400 hours of community service and remain on probation for three years.

T.I. to be Released from Prison This Month

Posted by Angelina Irinici on March 5th, 2010

After 10 months, rapper T.I.’s lawyer confirmed that he will be released from prison at the end of this month, reports MTV News. T.I. also announced his new single “I’m Back” through a promotional Twitter account, and the Federal Bureau of Prison records list the rapper’s release date as March 26.

“That date is correct,” lawyer Steve Sadow said via e-mail to MTV News. “T.I. is now serving the remainder of his sentence in home confinement under the supervision of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.”

In late December the 29-year-old, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., was transferred to a halfway house. However, T.I.P. is not off the hook; after his release from Dismas Charities Atlanta West later this month, he’s expected to complete 20 to 60 additional days of home confinement after an arrangement he made with prosecutors before his sentence began.

Update: Chris Brown Shows No Shame

Posted by Emma Renda on August 27th, 2009

Chris BrownChris Brown should be having a bad day. In fact, he should be having a bad life considering the fire he has come under since he assaulted Rihanna in February. But despite his sentencing yesterday (five years probation, a restraining order from Rihanna, domestic violence courses, 6-months community service), and the release of the official police report from the incident (a brutal account of his relentless attack on Rihanna), Brown has still found time to dress up, hit the recording studio and party.

First, Brown was seen entering the Record Plant Recording Studio in L.A. yesterday shortly after his hearing. Pictures on TMZ.com show Brown had changed from his three-piece suit into a hip vest and oversized yellow heart broach. Not exactly non-chalant.

In the same outfit hours later, Brown was seen partying at Guys and Dolls in Hollywood. The photos on TMZ.com show Brown surrounded by several women – shockingly – and actually enjoying himself. This comes after a statement from the probation report in which Brown said he has been “depressed” since the February incident.
