Snoop Dogg's Wife Cited For DUI

Fullerton police pulled over Shante Brodus, 32, at about 12:15 a.m. The wife of rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning in Orange County, Calif.

Lt. Craig Brower said that he had no information other than that there were no passengers involved. Brodus was taken to jail where she was booked, photographed and released pending her court appearance.

Hogan's Wife Wants Him Jailed

Hulk Hogan's estranged wife wants a Florida judge to hold the wrestler in contempt for not paying his share of a $4.2 million Las Vegas condo.

Linda Bollea is asking that the court hold Hogan in contempt of court and jailed until he pays. A court order requires them to share the purchase of the condo at The Palms hotel and spa.

Bollea asked the court that Hogan be jailed in Pinellas County, the same prison where their son is serving eight-months after pleading no contest to a crash that seriously injured his friend.

Accused child molester contacts Nick Hogan

TMZ.com has reported that 29-year-old former Florida teacher Stephanie Ragusa tried to contact Hulk Hogan's son, 17-year-old Nick Bollea, in prison.

Ragusa made headlines after she was charged with having sexual relations with her students. She has pled not guilty to having sex with several teenagers who attended the local middle school where she taught.

She is currently awaiting trial in jail and has been barred from contacting any of the teens involved in her case.

In her letter to Bollea, who is in jail for his involvement in a near-fatal car accident that left his best friend permanently injured, Ragusa told the teen he is "not alone." She said she sympathizes with the public nature of his situation, as well.

".. For what it is worth, I can sympathize with the dynamics of your case, esp. in light of the public. It's not us, Nick, but something 'off' with society, that our situations garner more attention & print than the President, the election, or even an earthquake killing thousands," she wrote. "Nothing prepares you for it nor prevents it; sensationalism."

According to TMZ, police said the letter was intercepted before it reached Bollea; however, he did receive a copy eventually.

One is the Loneliest Number for Hulk Hogan's Son

Nick Bollea, son of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, is not too happy with solitary confinement. The 17-year-old's lawyers said in a motion filed Friday that the isolation is causing him "unbearable anxiety."

He spends up to 17 hours a day alone in his cell, and does not have access to amenities like educational programs.

Bollea is being held in solitary confinement in Pinellas County Jail's medical ward because he is too young to be in main holding. He is serving eight months after pleading no contest to reckless driving and causing a crash that seriously injured his friend.

His lawyers asked the judge to consider alternatives to isolation such as releasing him with ankle monitoring until he turns 18, or placing him in minimum security.

Gary Dourdan makes plea deal, avoids jail

Former 'CSI' star Gary Dourdan, 41, pled guilty to two out of his three counts of felony drug possession - one count each of Ecstasy and cocaine possession, and one count of heroin possession was dismissed - this morning, but he avoided having to serve any jail time.

"Once Gary completes 30 hours of a diversion program, his case will be entirely dismissed," lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "There is no jail time involved."

Although the actor faced up to three years and eight months in prison, he will only have to complete the court's diversion program, which entails the completion of a series of drug-education courses. He has until Nov. 20, 2009 to finish his part of the plea agreement, and then the convictions may be dismissed.

"As a result of today's proceedings, Gary has been given diversion," Holly said outside the courthouse. "He very much regrets what happened, and he's very embarrassed by what occurred, but he's looking forward to moving on and getting back to work.

"He is very grateful to the court for being understanding and giving him an opportunity to resolve the issue and move forward."

Ingrid Wyatt, spokeswoman for the Riverside District Attorney's office, told E! News that Dourdan will also have to pay a small fee as part of his restitution.

Dourdan was present for the Indio, Calif. hearing, although he did not speak to reporters. He was arrested April 28 in Palm Springs after police found him sleeping in his car, which was parked on the wrong side of the road with the interior light on.

The actor was charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaie and Ecstasy following a search of his vehicle, and he was released on $5,000 bail. Shortly thereafter, Dourdan denied the drugs were his.

The long-time 'CSI' star also opted not to renew his contract for the popular show. His character, Warrick Brown, was killed on the season finale.

Wesley Snipes is sentenced to three years in prison

Action actor Wesley Snipes has been sentenced to three years in prison by a federal judge this afternoon.

In February, the Blade movie star was found guilty of failing to file tax returns from 1999-2001. The actor owed 2.7 Million and was given the maximum sentence under the law.

Snipes’ lawyers tried to argue for leniency and claimed that the star only owed $4000,000 and that the government’s sentencing guidelines weren’t fair.

Although Snipes was acquitted on the felony charges of filing false claims and fraud, the prosecutors pushed to harshly punish Snipes in the misguided hope that such a high-profile case would discourage tax fraud in the future.

Snipes’ co-defendant, who I am assuming are his accountants, were convicted of felony fraud and conspiracy and were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

Another Hilton Arrested

Paris Hilton’s 18-year-old younger brother Barron was arrested Tuesday morning for driving under the influence. He blew in a BAC at a reading of .14 which is almost twice as much as much as California’s legal limit of .08. However, for those under 21 a BAC of any level is considered legally drunk.

Hilton was also arrested for carrying a fake California driver’s license. He faces a one year license suspension for being under age with a DUI and could, in fact, go to jail. However, first time offenders, and of course children of wealthy parents, often only receive probation. I guess only time will tell if he will follow in the steps of his big sis'and end up behind bars.

David Letterman apologizes to Paris

Remember when Paris Hilton visited David Letterman after her jail stint in September?

Well, during her appearance on the show on Friday, he apologized for badgering her about her time behind bars.

"We have a lovely woman who's been in prison," Letterman said about his behavior during her previous visit. "I put those two things together and my head starts spinning."

"I continued to press the point," Letterman said. "I thought I was hilarious." The next day, he recalled, people told him, "No, you were an ass."

Paris, who stated during the September visit that he was hurting her feelings, supposedly vowed to never return. Letterman wrote her a letter, sent her flowers and cajoled her into coming yesterday to promote her film, "The Hottie and the Nottie."

"I offended you. I'm not here to make enemies, honestly," Letterman told Hilton on Friday. "I'm terribly sorry."

"Yes," Hilton, replied. "And you better not try it again. I hope you got the jail thing out of your system."

No Pictures Please!

An over zealous fan snapped some shots of singer R. Kelly at his trial and landed herself in jail. Jean Johnson, used her cell phone camera to snap pictures inside the court room, which is considered contempt of court. She was sentenced to five days.

Rodriguez to spend Christmas in jail

Lost star Michelle Rodriguez checked herself into Lynwood Jail yesterday afternoon to begin serving her mandatory 180 day sentence for violating her probation. Her probation violation stems from failure to show completion of community service and consuming alcohol three time while wearing an alcohol monitoring anklet. You may remember Lynwood Jail, because it is also the same place that Paris Hilton served her brief time.
Tis' the season....enjoy the new year Michelle!
