You going to jail today ! Keyshia Cole Faces 30 Day Jail Sentence After Missing DUI Classes Via TMZ reports: Keyshia Cole faces jail time over a DUI she got a decade ago … and no one would have been the wiser had she not flown into a jealous rage in Birdman’s condo. Cole was in a L.A. County court this week … trying to explain to a judge that a very old arrest warrant was a gigantic mistake. The warrant was issued in 2004, because Keyshia failed to submit proof to the judge that she completed her alcohol ed class after a 2002 DUI conviction. Keyshia’s lawyer tried explaining the singer completed the course, but the judge was unmoved. There was no paperwork to prove it, so the judge indicated he’d throw her in jail for 30 days. But the judge also showed some mercy, telling Keyshia’s lawyer he would let her skate if they could submit proof she finished the classes. A hearing is set for February. Now here’s the bitch. Authorities had no idea there was a warrant and probably wouldn’t know, but when Keyshia was arrested in September for assaulting a woman in Birdman’s condo, cops did a warrant check and … bingo. Boyfriends cause such trouble. Twitter

When asked about the allegations, Cosby told Page Six, “Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind.” Bill reportedly sounded upbeat on the phone … and said, “Love and the strength of womanhood” when asked how his wife is holding up through all of this. He added, “Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.” That’s where he cut off the conversation … saying “they don’t want me talking to the media.” Do you there’s a racial bias with the reporting of Bill Cosby’s recent rape accusations??
