Nov 12 2009UPDATE: Mike Tyson arrested for punching photographer
Mike Tyson was arrested last night after rearranging a pap's face in a fight, according to RadarOnline:
The lone pap was trying to take video when an altercation ensued and Tyson allegedly punched him.
The pap suffered a laceration to the side of his head.
The bloodied pap was rushed to a nearby hospital in the back of an ambulance and their was blood on the terminal floor after the airport brawl.
Both the photographer and Tyson were arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery and both are expected to appear in court at a later date.
In Mike Tyson's defense, obviously he exercised restraint in this situation. Considering his job was to render highly-trained fighters unconscious with one punch, this guy's lucky his face doesn't resemble a cereal bowl. Also, who the hell starts a fight with Mike Tyson and expects it to end well? That's like sticking your penis in Paris Hilton and not having a route to the free clinic mapped out. C'mon.
UPDATE: TMZ obtained a photo of what the pap looks like after fighting Mike Tyson (after the jump) and it's pretty much what you imagined. Minus still having a nose.

May 27 2009Lindsay Lohan's dad arrested
Lindsay Lohan's father Michael was apparently arrested last month for threatening to kill his fiancee and himself when she tried to dump him. Page Six reports:
Michael was quietly arrested on April 6 for a phone threat cops said he placed to off-again, on-again gal pal Erin Muller, 34, on March 18. Lohan, 48, flipped out yesterday when he walked into Central Islip court and spotted Post reporter Kieran Crowley and photographer Dennis Clark. "Michael! Plan two!" shouted Lohan's lawyer, Anthony Grandinette, as his client fled. "Plan two" consisted of Lohan and Muller hiding in her car while Grandinette appeared on his behalf. Lohan faces up to a year behind bars.
While we've got the "Lindsay's Life is a Flaming Pile of Shit" ball rolling, Asher Roth shot down her request to dance onstage during a recent concert, according to NY Daily News:
When Linds discovered the "I Love College" rapper would be performing at the University of California's Santa Barbara campus, she drove three hours from L.A. to see him. But Roth wasn't feeling her.
Says an insider, "Lindsay was bugging both Asher and his management team to get onstage during 'She Don't Want a Man,' but Asher was so annoyed by her requests that he actually skipped performing the single."
You know who has to feel great about this post, Gary Coleman. Seriously, he's probably at Kids 'R Us right now celebrating with a new pair of pants instead of his usual routine of aiming a gun at his face in the bathtub. Oh, geez, I'm sorry. Too soon, Michael Lohan?
May 19 2009Kanye West pleads not guilty in paparazzi case
Despite being caught on video, Kanye West is claiming he's innocent of smashing $10,000 worth of paparazzi equipment during a temper tantrum. E! News reports:
The hip-hop star pleaded not guilty last week to charges of battery, grand theft and vandalism stemming from his arrest for tangling with a persistent paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport last September.
West and his business manager, Don Crawley, are accused of smashing a shutterbug's $10,000 video camera when he and a colleague tried to get shots of the duo boarding a flight for Hawaii.
Of course, the prosecution will have an easy case here. All they have to do is try to take a picture of Kanye causing him to smack the camera to the ground, cover his ears and scream until somebody puts on SpongeBob. Because he's a child.
Mar 13 2009Howard K. Stern arrested for illegally furnishing Anna Nicole Smith drugs
Because justice is fast, lightning fast, the late Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend/lawyer Howard K. Stern and two other doctors have been charged with illegally furnishing her "thousands of prescription pills" up until her death in 2007, according to the AP:
Howard K. Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were released late Thursday after posting $20,000 bond. Charges include conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict, authorities said.
"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement Thursday. His office was expected to release more details about the case at a news conference Friday.
Prosecutors said the doctors gave thousands of prescription drugs -- including opiates and sedatives -- to Stern, who then gave them to Smith.
Hey, there was a "legitimate medical purpose" - to keep her crazy. How else could Howard K. Stern use her money and/or have the sex? Pfft. City Hall. What do they know?

Mar 9 2009Chris Brown still eligible for Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards
Because getting slimed is a prestigious honor, Nickelodeon will not tamper with the nomination process for its Kids' Choice Awards, and the network is leaving Chris Brown's name on the ballots for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song despite all that stuff about pulverizing Rihanna's face and being charged with two felonies. Kids love that shit. TMZ reports:
Instead of being responsible adults and taking a stance, Nickelodeon, which airs the award show at the end of the month, is hiding behind their tiny voters. A Nick exec tells TMZ Brown "was nominated by kids several months ago, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category."
I think it's important that kids learn a valuable lesson here: If you act like a spoiled punk bitch and knock around your girlfriend, people will still think you're cool. Also, you get to meet The Rock, so you might want to be writing this down.
Mar 5 2009Chris Brown: How lightly will his wrist get slapped?
Chris Brown could be formally charged when he appears in court today after his Feb. 8 arrest for allegedly/definitely beating Rihanna. A FOX affiliate has acquired police notes from the scene that detail the attack which was initiated after Rihanna read "a three-page text message from another woman" on Chris' phone. TMZ reports:
Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective's notes.
Blood spattered all over Rihanna's clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood.
Brown allegedly told Rihanna, "I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see."
Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there."
Brown then replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you."
According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock -- she almost lost consciousness.
But if that's not adorable enough, E! News reports Chris' lawyers are hashing out a plea deal and his reunion with Rihanna has seriously hampered the prosecution's case. Whee:
Sources close to the negotiations tell E! News that the R&B star's attorneys are in talks with the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office about a possible plea deal that would see Brown wind up with probation--rather than jail time--for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna on Feb. 8.
Although the D.A. just received the case from the Los Angeles Police Department today, Brown's A-list defense attorney Mark Geragos began powwowing with prosecutors earlier in the week.
"They have a victim who's back together with her alleged attacker, and some conflicting statements from each side," says the source. "It's not the slam dunk they hoped it would be."
So for beating the living crap out of his girlfriend, Chris Brown has had the following happen to him:
1. Had sex on a diamond bed in P. Diddy's mansion after she took him back.
2. Probably ducked any jail time whatsoever.
3. Got to ride a jet ski.
I don't want to say the wrong message has been sent here, but I heard next time he's hoping to fly a jet. You know, because he loves Rihanna so much.
Feb 26 2009Chris Brown taking anger management classes
Chris Brown attended his first anger management class on Monday, NY Daily News reports:
According to a source, Brown opted for anger management at the behest of his spin doctor, Michael Sitrick. "Chris doesn't actually have to go by law," our insider tells us, "but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5," his court date.
Well, at least Chris Brown is getting help for all the right reasons: To look good in the press and serve a lighter sentence. Because had he done it to stop beating women, that just wouldn't make any sense.
Feb 25 2009Adnan Ghalib wanted for assaulting process server with Mercedes
An arrest warrant for Britney Spears' paparazzi ex was issued Tuesday for the felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and battery. The charges stem from an incident two weeks when a process server attempted to serve Adnan a temporary restraining order to stay away from Britney Spears. Apparently not a fan of legal documents, Adnan decided to ram the guy with his Mercedes. People reports:
According to L.A. prosecutors, the victim was serving a temporary restraining order, obtained by Spears's father, at Adnan Ghalib's apartment complex in Encino on Feb. 11 when Ghalib got into his Mercedes and drove it toward the victim.
To avoid being penned against a trash truck, the victim jumped on the hood and hung on as the car swerved, eventually falling off and breaking his wrist, among other injuries, the District Attorney alleges. Ghalib allegedly drove away without stopping.
What's crazy is Adnan Ghalib is fighting to be with Britney Spears and he was with her during the batshit five Fraps/day times. The ultimate irony would be reuniting with his beloved only to freak out when her body's not how he left it. "This can't be. Where did your beautiful doughy pouch go? And this ass has become firm like granite. Why, God?! Why must you curse Adnan?!"
