Lindsay Lohan Spends More Time In Slammer!


On Friday, the actress was sentenced to 120 days behind bars for violating probation by allegedly stealing a necklace.

After spending a grand total of five hours behind bars, Lindsay Lohan posted $75,000 bail and was released from police custody Friday night in Los Angeles. She had been sentenced to 120 days behind bars for violating probation by allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace from a boutique in Venice, Calif.

Lohan's attorney appealed the sentence Friday.

The theft case had been reduced from grand theft to a misdemanor on Friday.

In addition to her jail time, Lohan was also sentenced to almost 500 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women's shelter and time at the county morgue.

Lohan's legal troubles began in earnest in 2007 when she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and police found what appeared to be cocaine in her vehicle. She has since bounced in and out of rehab, repeatedly violated probation and skipped or appeared late for several court dates.

Prodigy hasn't said much but as for Da Brat, she is talking! Da Brat also spent three years behind bars and she has been released from prison as well.

Da Brat had been serving time due to an assault charge. Rapper/ super producer Jermaine Dupri made a public announcement on February 28th that she is finally out.



Happy day for me and all SO SO DEF fans,Da BRAT is finally home


In October 2007, Harris was found guilty of assault after allegedly attacking a waitress at a nightclub in Atlanta. The femcee was ultimately sentenced to 3 years in prison, 200 hours of community service and 7 years probation.

Da Brat insists she "made the best" of her incarceration...

"They had a lot of things for us to do. We went out to rec and played sports. They had auto paint and auto body, they had computer classes. It was almost like a college situation, except you can't leave. I wrote a book. I did quite a few things. Then I became a third shift orderly where at night I stayed up with a crew of homegirls and we cleaned the showers, buffed the floors, we had our headphones on bumping our CDs. We made the best of it..."



She talked about the celebrity support in prison and what the future holds for her career.

“All my family, all my friends. My mother — of course my sister (Lisa-Raye). JD wrote me...Despite what people had to say about my brother JD, he just could not see me in that light and I understand that. Some people don’t want to see their people locked down, so I’m not mad at him at all,”
she added about her mentor. Da Brat also noted that couple Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon visited her along with comedian Katt Williams.


And Da Brat reveals fans will be given a glimpse into her past when she releases her book, adding,
"It starts off talking about my life and growing up. How I was selling dope for a hot second, was in a gang for a hot second. My father was a gangster. Just different things. I was in a church playing drums. I want people to know there isn't just one side of Brat. I'm not just a rapper. It goes through my whole life story and could possible be a movie. So I'm just putting the finishing touches on it now."


Brat also says Lil' Kim needs to chill on the Nicki Minaj beef and says all the chicks wanted her in prison.

In the meantime, she's on house arrest for a bit.

Think Brat and Prodigy can make a come back in 2011?

Christina Aguilera Arrested For Public Drunkenness


Posted By: YBM
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Fresh from a stumble at the Grammys and muffing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, singer Christina Aguilera was arrested early Tuesday near the Sunset Strip on suspicion of being drunk in public but will not be prosecuted.

Authorities said Aguilera, 30, was "extremely intoxicated" when a car driven by her boyfriend was stopped at about 2:45 a.m. on Clark Street, Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Bill McSweeney said Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Aguilera
"didn't really understand where she was but was cooperative."
She was not belligerent in any way what so ever,"
Whitmore said Deputies saw the Mustang "burn rubber" and fish tail onto a street. The noise could be heard 100 feet away and constituted an "exhibition of speed" that prompted deputies to immediately stop the car, Whitmore said.

They smelled alcohol on the breath of 25-year-old Matthew Rutler, and a field sobriety test found him to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.09 percent, Whitmore said in California, a driver is legally under the influence at or above 0.08 percent. Rutler was arrested on suspicion of DUI and later released on $5,000 bail.

McSweeney said Aguilera appeared too drunk to care for herself and had no driver to take her home. She was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public so she could be held at the West Hollywood sheriff's station, he said. Whitmore did not know how much the 5-foot-2, 100-pound Aguilera may have been drinking. She was given a breath test but the results will not be made public because she had no criminal intent and will not be prosecuted, he said. However, the misdemeanor arrest will remain on her record.

Aguilera did not ask to have anyone pick her up during the 30 to 45 minutes that deputies were at the car, Whitmore said.
"She didn't really understand where she was,"
"She said she didn't drive so she didn't even know where she lived."
Whitmore said Aguilera was booked, finger printed and put alone in a cell. She was kept there until she was able to pass another sobriety test.
"When she was able to navigate and think on her own ... she was released"
on $250 bail. Aguilera was released from the back of the station at about 7:30 a.m. , avoiding a cluster of paparazzi out front. She was driven home by an acquaintance who may have been a bodyguard, Whitmore said.
"It ends here,"
he said.
"She's home safe and sound so, you know, job accomplished."
California law allows deputies to detain intoxicated people for their own welfare until they sober up, without having any intention of prosecuting them, McSweeney said.
"You're sitting in a car drunk. You have every legal right to be there, but when we come across you we say you can't drive and we're not going to put you on the sidewalk."

Former Member Of Jay-Z's Record Label, Rapper Tru Life To Get 10 Years In Prison.

Rapper Tru Life was offered a plea deal of 10 years in prison by Manhattan prosecutors on Wednesday in connection with a 2009 incident in which a 20-year-old man was fatally stabbed to death.

Tru Life, born Robert Rosado, was once signed to Jay-Z's Roc La Familia imprint. He and his brother Marcus Rosado were slapped with second-degree murder, gang assault and assault charges after the alleged altercation on June 15, 2009, that investigators said initially began with a dispute outside New York nightclub Pacha.

The deal would reduce the severity of the original charges and require the rapper and his brother, who was offered a 12-year deal, to waive their right to appeal.

According to Tru Life's attorney, Alan M. Abramson, the rapper has yet to formally agree to the plea deal. In an e-mail message to MTV News, Abramson wrote,
"The offer is being reviewed and no decisions have been made at this time."
Trulife and his brother allegedly chased Jason Gray, 30, and Christopher Guerrero, 20, into a lobby on E. 26th St. in New York City. Cops said the duo stabbed Guerrero in the stomach and Gray in the chest.

Court documents reveal the victim, Christopher Guerrero, died as a result of the alleged stabbing. The second man, Gray, was allegedly hospitalized for stab wounds.

Tru Life, from Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood, is best known in the hip-hop world for his beef with Queens rap duo Mobb Deep over a failed collaboration. The Puerto Rican lyricist was later a cornerstone of Jay-Z's then-burgeoning Latin-orientated Roc La Familia, along with Texas rapper Aztec. Tru Life never released an album on the label.

Waka Flocka In Shoot Out!




Rapper Waka Flocka dodged multiple bullets today during a gun battle in Charlotte, NC ... according to eyewitnesses.

Word is Waka was on his tour bus outside a car stereo shop when two cars pulled up next to the bus and opened fire. Waka was not hit.

An eyewitness tells us Waka's security team returned fire on the cars and hit at least one of them. Waka's publicist confirms his security team fired shots -- and says the bus was shot 4 times.

FOXCharlotte is reporting police have detained multiple people -- and that one person was shot in the shoulder.

Lindsay Lohan Posts Bond, Judge Says "Things Will Be Different"


Lindsay Lohan offered to take a polygraph test to prove to the L.A. County District Attorney she did not steal the $2,500 necklace that triggered the felony grand theft charge ... but the D.A. refused.

We're told the prosecutors shot down the offer, because they didn't think polygraphs were scientifically sound. They also believed there was a significant amount of evidence proving Lindsay did indeed pilfer the jewelry.

Lindsay Lohan was just remanded into custody -- following a STRONG warning from Judge Keith Schwartz --
"You're no different than anyone else ... please don't push your luck."


Moments after Lohan entered a not guilty plea in her felony theft case -- the judge came down on her like a ton of bricks ... telling her
"things will be different"
this time around because she's on the hook for a felony.

During the hearing, Judge Schwartz said Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, and prosecutor Danette Meyers, were going to meet to possibly reach a plea bargain.

Lohan -- alongside attorney Holley -- was then remanded into custody ... and is currently being booked.

Judge Schwartz set her bail at $20,000 -- but warned,
"If you violate the law, I will remand you and there will be NO BAIL."


The judge also revoked Lindsay's probation in the DUI case and set bail at $20,000 -- so total bail is $40,000.

Lohan was also ordered to refrain from contacting the jewelry store during the case, after Meyers said someone had sent the store owners flowers, which kind of freaked them out.

Lindsay then posted bail.

Soon after she jumped on Twitter to see support from Celebrity Rehab Doctor, Dr. Drew, the doctor tweeted:

I am mortified how @Lindsaylohan is getting attacked when she is so fragile and just establishing her sobriety. Not at all what she needs


Lindsay responded,

@drdrew thank you for your support.. I appreciate it

Lil' Wayne Pays 1 Million To Stay Out Of Jail!


2011 started off pretty good for Weezy...he's out of jail, his Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl...but is he about to go BACK TO JAIL AGAIN??? Well, not now.

Lil' Wayne paid off over 1 Million dollars in backed up taxes so his ass wouldn't be back in a cell with Wesley Snipes and the rest.

According to reports, Wayne payed off a $1.13 million IRS tax lien which included taxes dating back to 2004, and included tax periods from 2005 and 2007.

The IRS filed a $1.1 million lien on Wayne in a Dade County, Florida court last June.
