The Moment I Thought I’ve Been Blogging For, Amy Winehouse Gets Arrested

April 25th, 2008

amy_winehouse2_320.jpg

At first I got hyphy just thinking about this dirty ho behind bars as the bugs in her beehive rapidly multiply and battle each other for space on her infected scalp. Then I read the very end of this article, remember this trainwreck was arrested after Blake was busted?

In England/wherever Wino lives, that’s the procedure. They arrest you to question you, it doesn’t exactly mean that you’re busted, however, of course in Amy’s case I want them to lock her up until she’s detoxed and sober. That could take years, but I’ll wait. She’s obviously gifted but until she cleans up her act, she’s a waste of time and a tragic, stupid ass bitch.

Here goes the story. I’m so type-ative today, heh. Yeah, talkative and type-ative. I spent over an hour fixing the error on my site, thanks Stacy!!! :) So now that I’m able to blog again I just can’t step away from the keyboard.

Here goes it, from People

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested for an alleged assault.

In the wee hours of April 23, the Grammy-winning “Rehab” singer allegedly headbutted a man outside a London pub. She voluntarily reported to a London police station on Friday to answer questions, and was arrested. ”She is currently in custody.”

It is a policy in England to arrest a suspect before questioning her in connection to a possible crime. Winehouse has not been charged with anything.

A 38-year-old man filed a report stating he was “headbutted” by Winehouse after trying to hail her a cab at 3:20 a.m. on April 23. According to a detailed account in the British paper The Sun, she also allegedly punched another man in the face and smoked drugs on the street.

The article was accompanied by a sequence of photos, including one of Winehouse walking into a lamppost.

Winehouse – who spent time in rehab in January and won five Grammys in February – was arrested just hours after her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, appeared in court on charges of witness tampering. Winehouse did not attend.

Wesley Snipes Sentenced To Three Years in Jail

April 24th, 2008

The Blade star, 45, was sentenced Thursday to three years behind bars as his punishment for failing to file his tax returns, U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges announced in an Ocala, Fla., courtroom.

The actor sat stone-faced – and some people in the courtroom gasped – when the sentence was read. “I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community,” Snipes said as his wife looked on. “I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right.”

In February, a federal jury convicted Snipes of three counts of failing to file a tax return (from 1999 through 2001). Thursday he received 12 months for each count. Prosecutors say the actor owes a total of $41 million in taxes, of which he paid $5 at the sentencing.

Several famous names sent in letters of support for Snipes, including Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson and TV judge Joe Brown. Washington called Snipes a “great oak.” Harrelson, who starred with Snipes in Wildcats, wrote, “Wes continues to encourage and challenge me to be the best man I can be by being a constant friend.”

Vanilla Ice is Cold!

April 11th, 2008

Gets arrested for assaulting his wife.

0411_ice_booking_2.jpg

Hey, if you think that headline’s bad, I was considering going with, ‘Ice Ice Bad Boy.’ :-p

Robert Van Winkle, aka the first Eminem - Vanilla Ice, was arrested last night at his crib after an alleged fight with the wifey.

Ice’s wife, Laura, called the cops and said that he pushed her. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies locked him up at 10:43 p.m. Eastern on a domestic battery charge.

Vanilla Ice is still in custody at Palm Beach County Jail. In most cases, people arrested for domestic violence are usually held over to see a judge. Looks like Mr. Van Winkle will spend a night in the pokey.

Kate Moss’ old flame, Pete Doherty, is going to be spending 2 1/2 months in jail after failing to comply with court orders, and he’s still using drugs. No shit!?!

The 29-year-old — who has previously dated supermodel Kate Moss — today attended West London Magistrates Court where Judge Davinder Lachar handed him the sentence. A court spokesman said that Doherty had been jailed for “breach of time keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs”.Doherty’s rep said that he was looking into grounds for appeal.

A few weeks should do Pete some good. Maybe he’ll start pissing urine instead of liquid crack.

Anne Hathaway’s Boyfriend Be Busted

April 4th, 2008

Anne Hathaway boyfriend

Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, was under police custody Thursday after allegedly bouncing a $250,000 check.

Follieri, a real estate developer, apparently went willing to the NYPD and has since been released, according to the report.

“He went willing to a precinct – he was not brought by police — and he was not handcuffed. This is a misunderstanding that his lawyers are already sorting out.”

A Washington, D.C. court recently ordered Follieri to pay a public-relations firm $250,000 for work done on his behalf, TMZ reports.

In 2007, Follieri denied accusations by Ron Burkle that he squandered $1.3 million.

Female Rappers Must Love Jail

March 27th, 2008

Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Remy Ma - dumb bitches, stand up! Remy Ma is busted!!

The rapper has been convicted on four major charges — two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon.The charges stem from a 2007 incident in which Remy shot a friend of hers after a fight over $3,000 in cash stolen from Remy’s purse. The defense tried to make the shooting an accident — but it looks like they didn’t quite convince the jury.

Remy was not found guilty of gang assault and witness tampering, among the nine total charges she faced. We’re told the victim’s friends and family taunted Remy when the verdicts were read — full pandemonium in the courtroom.

Remy could face up from five to 25 years in prison at sentencing.

It’s tragic how when you get enough funds to afford nice weaves, designer bags, clothes and jewelry, ya gotta trade it in for lice, expired food and brawls in jail.
