Chris Gets Clean Report
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
Convicted Rihanna-beater Chris Brown was back in court today to give the judge a progress report on his probation for felony assault. The disgraced R&B star was sentenced to undergo counseling and must perform six months of community labor in Virginia.
Lawyer Mark Geragos earned his hefty fee by convincing probation officials that Brown had already done 100 hours of community service. Whoopee. Isn’t that like, two and a half weeks out of six months? He does less than a month out of six and gets an “extremely favorable” report? Brown’s now doing a “comeback” tour and releasing a new album. When will he get back to VA and finish picking up trash off the highway?

Biz Manager Sues Cage
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Free-spending actor Nicolas Cage has been sued by the business manager he blames for his financial problems. The AP reports Samuel J. Levin filed a countersuit in response to the star’s suit for fraud filed last month. Levin claims he went to work for Cage in 2001 and tried to restrain his buying sprees, which included luxury vehicles, multiple homes and lavish parties.
Cage has been forced to sell some of his automobiles and several homes have been lost to foreclosure. Cage sounds like someone with an addiction to shopping who just can’t help himself. Wonder how well rehab works for that?

Did Plane Crash Lead To Death For DJ AM?
Friday, November 13th, 2009
At the time of his tragic death, DJ AM was suing several companies involved in the horrific 2008 plane crash that left him badly burned. Two months after the DJ, who was born Adam Goldstein, died from an overdose of drugs, his estate has added a charge of wrongful death to the suit, claiming “the crash ultimately caused Adam Goldstein’s death.”
TMZ reports the estate is suing Clay Lacy Aviation, the travel service, Goodyear Tire, Learjet and the estates of the two pilots killed in the crash. Goldstein had kicked his drug habit a decade ago, but painful burns from the crash caused him to take prescription meds, which led him back into addiction. DJ AM also developed a fear of flying that required anti-anxiety drugs to allow him to fly for business.
