After 48 days in the slammer, Keifer Sutherland was released just after midnight on Monday. He has been in since December 5 and was quite ready to head home to his own bed and some real food.
One of the officers on hand said, “Kiefer is excited to leave the jail and return to the safe and warm confines of his home. Kiefer was the model inmate while he served his time, and jokingly told jail staff that he won’t be doing any laundry anytime soon as he was relegated to endless hours of fluff and fold.”
Keifer originally agreed to the plea bargain of 48 days so he wouldn’t interrupt production of 24, meaning he had to spend the holidays and his birthday in jail. However, shooting of the show has been stopped for the writer’s strike anyway.
You know how when there’s a big pink elephant in the middle of the room, most people choose to ignore it? Well, this is kind of like that. In an irony to end all ironies, a woman was arrested to five days in jail for snapping a picture of R&B singer R Kelly in court. What about putting the guy with child porn charges behind bars? Or take him to trial at least!
49-year old Jean Johnson used her cellphone camera to take picture of Kelly during a recent hearing. She plead guilty to contempt of court and was sentenced to the 5 days.
R. Kelly may have been a no show to his court date the day prior but the singer wanted to be a good little boy and actually showed up 20 minutes early for his re-scheduled hearing on Thursday. He reportedly did not show the day prior because his tour buses were detained in Utah.A sharp looking Kelly arrived in court and paid no mind to the waiting paparazzi. The judge continued the hearing until Friday which meant that he would be in court during the day time and doing his other job of singing at Chicago’s United Center come night time.
Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil was officially charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice. Well things just went from bad to worse for Blake because the judge refused him bail. Winehouse was said to be sobbing uncontrollably and yelling ‘I love you’, as her husband was led away in handcuffs. He was remanded at London’s Thames Magistrates Court on Saturday until 23 November. Yeah sobbing that this idiot has been caught while trying to commit such a petty offense despite being a non celebrity he is hitting the headlines just because he has a celebrity wife. Look at him just look at him, he knows he has committed a crime and yet he thinks he will be able to get a bail for himself, that’s what I can call an over expectant person who ever thinks practically just imaginary. His advocate and his legal counsel would have suggested this to him and they just would have told him that we are taking a chance in case the judge turns out to be a jerk ass. As it happens to be the judge is not a jerk ass and Blake can spend the next two weeks in jail.
The King of the South will be confined to his castle. A federal judge in Atlanta on Friday approved T.I.’s release on $3 million bail but ordered the rap superstar placed under house arrest pending his trial on felony weapons charges. The double Grammy winner is also barred from possessing any firearms and having any contact with witnesses or informants in his criminal case. The judge has barred him from speaking to the witness or any informants because they clearly think that he will try and influence the witnesses and might be bribe them and try to do something so that they do not speak the truth or give information against him. Judge is I think trying to get to the bottom of the situation and he clearly think that T.I is hiding the truth from the courts which the courts want to unearth. The Judge cautioned T.I. not to “do anything that will undermine” his case, or “a number of very bad things will happen.” Very bad things – he is there occupying some space on earth what can be worse than that – eliminate him.
Foxy Brown has been sentenced to one year in jail for violating her probation. As of right now, she is already serving her sentence on Rikers Island where she’s spent the last two weeks leading up to her trial.
Judge Melissa Jackson slammed Foxy’s pleas for mercy and called her a ‘great actress’ and saying that if this was the first time she’d apologized, she might have been believable. Too bad it wasn’t.
It should be interesting to note that if Foxy serves full term, she will be giving birth in prison. Harsh. Where’s her Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie jail story when she needs it?
It seems like nobody learns anything by other people’s mistakes. Instead they must make them as well. “Prison Break” star Lane Garrison was in court today on manslaughter charges. He killed a 17 year old boy while driving under the influence after leaving a Christmas party last year. The boy, Vahagn Sedian, had been a passenger in Garrison’s vehicle. The father of the victim accused Garrison of acting in court today. He said that Lane’s grief was exaggerated and that he was selfish. Another passenger who had been injured in the accident stated that Garrison lied about who was driving the vehicle that night. Lane faces up to six years and eight months in prison. The sad thing is that this isn’t a story about a young Hollywood diva but rather a grown man. Nobody has an excuse when it comes to drinking and driving. The worst part is that it’s never the drunken idiot who gets killed, it’s always an innocent. I’m sure Garrison will get more than the slap on the hand the girls are getting but nothing can equate their level of stupidity.
Recently actor Tom Sizemore was busted for the possession of meth amphetamine. He is best known to some for his role in the movie Black Hawk Down. He was sentenced to sixteen months in prison for his crime but received the good news today that it would be cut down by half to only eight months. Having already spent two hundred and thirteen days behind bars he will receive some credit for that. Although it doesn’t seem that he is getting even a percentile of the sympathy Paris Hilton got for her measly three week stay. Sizemore apparently begged the judge tearfully last week to give him another chance to get clean. An addiction like crystal meth can destroy someone’s life entirely. I think it’s a shame that the world cares more about an irresponsible debutante than they do a man who really is in trouble.
It looks like Paris Hilton won’t be cashing in too quickly from her little jail time stint. Two large networks that were previously rumored to be competing for the first interview upon her release from prison both now claim they want nothing to do with Paris or her jail house stories. Sources have said that Kathy Hilton, Paris’ mom, called ABC trying to secure a major interview with Barbara Walters. They declined. NBC also has recently stated that they have no intention of paying the Hiltons anything for an interview with Paris. They aren’t interested. I can’t say I’m surprised. At this point I don’t think I could be paid enough money to have to sit down and pretend to care what Paris Hilton has to say about anything, especially her cushy prison stay. Add insult to injury because CBS doesn’t want a piece of Paris either. It appears that everyone has heard more than enough about her over the last month. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I have had enough and wouldn’t miss her in the least if I never heard another word about her.
