Columbus Short Gets Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail After Violating Probation

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Columbus Short Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail Columbus Short’s attempts at pulling his life together once again have been temporarily derailed , as the actor was sentenced to a brief stint in jail today. Apparently he violated his probation by refusing to stop puffing on mary jane — and being a ball of sorry excuses over it. Via TMZ : Columbus Short pissed off a judge with a wad of excuses for violating probation, and it got him a month behind bars. The ex “Scandal” star was in court Wednesday for a progress report where the judge handed down the jail sentence, plus 6 months in a residential drug treatment program. Prosecutors said Short was violating his probation from a 2014 assault case by continuing to smoke marijuana — testing showed his THC levels were increasing weekly. They also say he’s done ZERO hours of community service. Short tried playing the sympathy card — his lawyer informed the judge Short’s sister died of heart failure last week. It didn’t work and ultimately, Short apologized. He’d already been in custody for 6 days, and was immediately taken back to jail to do 24 more. SMH! Terrible news that he lost his sister in the midst of all his other issues. Hopefully he can pick himself up and piece his life back together after all this… Splash

Robert Pattinson’s ‘Water For Elephants’ Trailer Arrives

Posted on December 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Robert Pattinson’s ‘Water For Elephants’ Trailer Arrives

Reese Witherspoon’s circus performer tantalizes RPattz in tragic Depression-era love story. By Eric Ditzian Robert Pattinson in the “Water For Elephants” trailer Photo: FOX We’ve seen Robert Pattinson’s side-buzzed ‘do . We’ve checked out pictures of RPattz and Reese Witherspoon smooching on the set. We’ve heard Witherspoon call her co-star “extraordinarily attractive.” Now we’ve gotten our first official look at the trailer for “Water for Elephants,” Pattinson and Witherspoon’s love story set in a Depression-era circus. The footage buries the lede somewhat: It’s a full 37 seconds before we get our first look at RPattz as Jacob Janowski. But the trailer neatly contextualizes the storyline. The film is told as a flashback, with Jacob’s 90-something-year-old self looking back on the events of his youth. Back then, he found himself in the midst of some unnamed circus-based tragedy. What happened, we don’t know (well, unless we read the book), but we have a feeling this story isn’t going to end well. The trailer waits almost another 20 seconds to introduce us to Witherspoon’s character, Marlena Rosenbluth, an elegant performer with a knack for getting horses to do near-magical feats. Pattinson is immediately intrigued by her, calling her a “beautiful woman [who] deserves a beautiful life.” The only problem is that she’s married to Christoph Waltz’s August Rosenbluth, a dark-minded animal trainer. No matter! Jacob and Marlena fall in love and together begin to look for a way to create a life with each other. But where can they go? As Marlena tells him, in the circus, “I’m a star. Out there, I got nothing.” Directed by Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”) and based on the New York Times best-seller, “Water for Elephants” hits theaters on April 15.

DMX Sentenced To One Year In Jail

Posted on December 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on DMX Sentenced To One Year In Jail

Rapper pleaded guilty in Phoenix to probation violation. By Paul Cantor DMX Photo: Larry Busacca/ Getty Images DMX is heading back to jail for a year. On Thursday morning (December 16), the rapper (born Earl Simmons) pleaded guilty in a Phoenix courtroom to a felony probation violation. He was arrested on November 18 for not checking in with his probation officer, failing to submit to drug testing and refusing to undergo treatment. “I did make the effort that I could, and I appreciate any help you can give me,” Simmons told Judge Christine Mulleneaux, according to the Phoenix New Times. Judge Mulleneaux was not wholly sympathetic to X’s pleas for leniency, saying he tested positive for cocaine five times during his probation. She said he likely had an undiagnosed mental condition that he needs to take care of, and until he does so, he’d continue on his path of substance abuse. “Your criminal history goes back to 1988,” she said. “It’s going to continue if you don’t take care of your mental health.” According to The Associated Press, DMX told Phoenix station KSAZ-TV that he had been kicked out of a drug treatment program because he had a drink at a Scottsdale club during a performance. X had been on probation since July, having served four months of a six-month sentence handed down in March for failing a court-mandated drug test and testing positive for cocaine. Following his release in July, he began serving a 90-day sentence for a reckless driving charge in Los Angeles dating all the way back to 2002. In May of 2009, he was released from 90 days in a Phoenix jail on charges of drug possession, fraud and animal cruelty from 2008. Related Artists DMX

Posted on December 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Alexis Neiers Ordered to Rehab; Jail Next?

L.A. Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza ordered alleged reality TV star Alexis Neiers to one year of residential drug treatment (rehab) at a hearing today. He threatened to throw the Pretty Wild star behind bars if she violates her probation again like she did with her recent black tar heroin arrest , reports say. Prior to the ruling, Neiers’ lawyer put it all out there for the court: “My client has an addiction to heroin. We would like you to sentence her accordingly.” PRETTY STUPID WILD : Alexis Neiers beat the rap for now. Judge Espinoza agreed, but warned her: “If you violate probation again, and come back for another violation, you are going to state prison for two years.” Neiers, 19, was on probation in the first place after pleading no contest to first degree residential burglary as part of the Burglar Bunch (a.k.a. Bling Ring). She’ll forever be a part of our celebrity mug shots gallery.
