Adam Lambert spent some time in a Finland jail after getting into a brawl with his boyfriend outside of a bar, reports TMZ.

The two lovers initially started fighting in the Helsinki bar, when eventually they took the fight out to the street. Lambert’s boyfriend is Finnish Big Brother star Sauli Koskinen. Adam apparently also got physical with people who tried to break up the fight.

Both guys were taken to the police station, questioned and eventually released.

Afterward, Koskinen blogged about the incident saying, “Publicity is not easy, but also celebrities are just human. Love is not easy either, but it lasts forever!”

This is an interesting take on domestic violence. Normally when it’s a man and a woman in a dispute, someone is charged. But what happens when it’s a man and a man? Apparently nothing happens.

Mel Gibson’s Lawyers to Claim Extortion Against Oksana Grigorieva

As the story behind Mel Gibson’s alleged crimes (including domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon) against Oksana Grigorieva continues to be discovered, the plot just keeps thickening.

TMZ is reporting that Gibson’s lawyers are going to meet with the Sherriff’s Department to not only present evidence that they hope will clear Mel’s name, but also claim that Oksana attempted to extort the actor.

Sources tell TMZ that the lawyers’ presentation will include evidence indicating that Oksana told Mel that she would sell him the tapes of their arguments (presumably to keep everything quiet), and also that she has made several false statements to authorities.

Though the presentation will focus on claiming Gibson’s innocence, TMZ’s sources also say that the lawyers will be asking for a criminal investigation of Oksana for alleged extortion and making false statements to law enforcement.

Oksana Grigorieva Claims Mel Gibson Was Violent Toward Her

Oksana Grigorieva alleges that her ex, Mel Gibson, was violent toward her, reports TMZ.

Lawyers representing Oksana showed up to a court in Los Angeles last Monday to ask a judge for a restraining order against the actor after filing claims that Gibson was physically violent toward her. Sources close to Oksana claim that the actor was extremely violent with her.

The judge granted the restraining order, which was only to be modified the next day so that Gibson would have the right to see his daughter.

That’s not all; Mel has also received a restraining order of his own against his ex that disallows her from talking—apparently he doesn’t want her releasing any information.

A source close to Gibson says that that the allegations are an exaggeration, claiming that the incident in question took place at the beginning of the year, and Oksana travelled with Gibson all over the world even after they occurred. The source said, “In these cases, when somebody cries wolf, the judge is mandated to assume there’s a wolf, until a full hearing can be held.”

However, there seem to be two definitive sides to the story, as a source close to Oksana claims that “There were other acts after January that were not physical but still constituted domestic violence.”

Charlie Sheen has got a choice to make now that his lawyers and prosecutors have reached a deal, and he has got four different options to choose from, reports TMZ. To settle his domestic violence case, Sheen will have to pick one of the four, and one involves time in jail.

As TMZ lays it out, Charlie basically has to make a choice between jail time, strict probation, deferred prosecution (case would not go forward but Sheen must follow several conditions—including not breaking the law), and going to trial to fight the accusations.

The time behind bars, should Sheen choose it, would include 30 days in an Aspen jail, which has the possibility of being cut down to 17 days with good behaviour, and could start as soon as June 7.

Currently no known decision has been made by Charlie.
