Chris Brown

Chris Brown was formally sentenced today August 25,2009 in a Los Angeles courtroom. He will have to do 180 days of community labor, one year of domestic abuse counseling and also five years of probation. During the next five years he must also stay away from Rihanna, despite Rihanna wanting the restraining order lifted the judge chose to keep it in place. The judge also insenuated that she had heard of the possiblity that him and Rihanna had secret meetings and then asked him if he understood that he will have to stay 100 yards from Rihanna or if they are attending the same entertainment event he must be 10 yards away from her, Chris replied “yes” that he understood the restraining order. He will be allowed to do his community labor and domestic abuse counseling in his homestate of Virginia. In the courtroom he wore a dark pin striped suit and remained stern throughout. He will also have to pay a number of fees and fines and may be subjected to random search and seizures. Do you think this sentencing is severe enough? Should the restraining order have been lifted because Rihanna requested it?

What Will Happen To Jackson’s Doc Conrad Murray?

Conrad Murray

Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009 in his rented mansion in Holmby Hills CA and his death has been ruled as a homicide. His death was caused by a lethal dose of the powerful drug propofol. The coroner made this assesment after the toxicology results of the autopsy of Michael. Propofol is an anesthetic agent typically used in the operating room to put patients to sleep in about 1 minute. Jackson’s doctor at the time of his death was Conrad Murray. Murray said he had been treating Michael for insomnia for the past six weeks and was giving him 50 milligrams of propofol every night using an intravenous drip. Since Michael’s death has been ruled as homicide I wonder if Murray will have to serve some time? Do you think this is fair considering Jackson was the addict requesting these drugs?

Paulina Chmielecka

Paulina Chmielecka is the ex fiance of Ryan Jenkins whom he dated for 3 years. She may be the woman who helped Ryan run from the authorities by driving him to and paying for the motel room where his body was found. The manager of the motel Kevin Walker saw the picture of Paulina and believes 100 percent that it is the same woman. Ryan had called off the engagement with Paulina months ago and friends of the couple say she was very in love with him but has moved on. Cops are saying this is not the woman they are looking for despite the motel managers claim.

Kourtney Kardashian Pregnant

Kourtney Kardashian 30,recently revealed that she is 5 months pregnant and due sometime in December. Everyone was wondering who the father was since the previews for her new reality show “Kourney And Khloe Take Miami” described the sisters as single. Kourney revealed a few days after the announcement that ex boyfriend Scott Disick 26, is in fact the father and that the two are working on their relationship. She said the pregnancy was a shock and that she took 20 pregnancy tests before getting it confirmed by the doctor. Kourtney also revealed that she did agonize over the decision as to wether have the baby or not and that Scott was supportive either way. After scouring the internet and reading stories of people who had abortions and all the guilt they felt Kourney made the decision to have the baby. She felt that it was meant to be and God had given her this baby for a reason. Kourtney has done a good job at hiding her baby bump for all of these months! This picture is one of the first I have seen where you can actually tell that she is pregnant! Congrats to her and Scott!

Jon Gosselin Ed Hardy

TLC, the station responsible for the “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ show is growing tired of Jon Gosselin just like his soon to be ex wife Kate Gosselin is. They are tired of him wearing his Ed Hardy clothing on the show to try and score and endorsement deal with the clothing line. TLC now blurs out his brand logos! This all comes after Jon has been actively searching for endorsement deals and has even gone as far as hanging out with man behind the clothing line more than once. TLC feels as if they are being used by Jon and I think they may be right, seems this couple in turmoil will do anything to make a buck these days! What do you think of the Jon & Kate drama?

Jason Wahler

Jason Wahler, whom you may remember from MTV’s  ”Laguna Beach” or as Lauren Conrad’s boyfriend on “The Hills” was recently involved in a drunken scuffle.  Jason was partying at the Ocean Avenue Brewery when he got himself kicked out of the bar. He found his way back in only to be kicked out again and rebelled by firing his shoes back into the bar and punching a security guard.  Jason is still on probation for another drunken arrest  in 2007 where he yelled out racial and homophobic slurs to Seattle police officers and punched a security officer there as well. Even after going to rehab looks like Jason has still not learned a lesson!
