Ex-‘Bad Girls Club’ Star Shannade Clermont Pleads Guilty To Fraud Charges

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shannade Clermont , one of the famed Clermont Twins who was also a star on the reality television show, Bad Girls Club , has pled guilty to wire fraud. The 24-year-old Clermont entered the plea Thursday in Manhattan federal court. She stood accused of stealing debit card information from a man who died shortly after a “prostitution date” with the former reality star. Clermont told U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald that she knew she was committing a crime when she used the man’s stolen debit cards to make purchases on the internet for clothes and other items. Spectators inside the courtroom included family members of the man she visited in January 2017. He was found dead of a drug overdose in his Manhattan apartment the next morning. The reality star and her sister have been featured in numerous publications and fashion shoots, including one for Kanye West ‘s Yeezy Season line.

Justin Bieber Reaches Plea Deal in DUI Case

Justin Bieber has reached a plea bargain with prosecutors in relation to his January drunk driving arrest . And it doesn’t even include the charge of drunk driving. According to The Miami Herald, the singer will plead guilty to careless driving and resisting an officer without violence. He will be forced to attend a 12-hour anger management source and pay $50,000 to charity. Justin Bieber Instagram Photos 1. Justin Bieber Mustache Attempt Justin Bieber is trying to grow a mustache. It’s impossible not to laugh at the effort. The artist’s main concern was that this plea deal did NOT include any kind of probation because that could mean jail time for Justin if he violated the law in any way going forward. And we all know he will, don’t we? The underage star was just spotted holding a liquor bottle while celebrating the 17th birthday of Kylie Jenner, for instance. This plea deal comes as no real surprise. The arresting officer in Florida seemingly lied when he said Bieber was drag racing and that police could smell alcohol on his breath; a subsequent test revealed relatively no alcohol in the singer’s system at the time. This is Bieber’s second plea deal in just a few months, as he recently pled no contest to misdemeanor vandalism in an egging case. As a result, he was placed on two years probation and ordered to pay his neighbor $80,900 in restitution. He also had to undergo more anger management.

Amber Portwood: Turning Down Plea Bargain to Continue Filming Teen Mom?

Troubled Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is considering NOT taking a plea deal because it would effectively end her reality TV career , according to reports. Amber is supposed to be released from jail into the care of a halfway house this week after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance. She may end up changing her plea, however, so she can continue shooting Teen Mom as much as possible, sources tell E! News . Why on Earth … Portwood, who faces up to five years in jail if she violates probation, is not going to change her plea because she wants to sit in a cell instead. It is true, though, that the drug court that’s allowing Portwood to rehabilitate at the halfway house has ordered the facility not to allow cameras. For Amber Portwood , this is a very big deal. Last week, she said she had been under the impression that she would be allowed to live with her grandparents and film Teen Mom while fulfilling the terms of her sentence (counseling, regular check-ins with the court, etc.). Being ordered to a halfway house caught her by surprise. In order to stay out of jail, she was ordered to spend eight months at the halfway house and get a full-time job … one that does not involve TV. The third season of Teen Mom is set to premiere April 3, so that would leave Amber SOL and without the paycheck she’s come to depend on. As such, Amber decided Saturday that she may rather “do her time now and get it out of the way,” and the halfway house is “not the right place for her.” It wouldn’t be the full five years, presumably, if she did agree to serve jail time. We are probably talking about a couple of months, tops. After which, she would be free to film, without stipulations. “The system doesn’t want Amber to succeed,” a friend said. “She needs to stay in the entertainment industry. There are no jobs in Anderson (Ind.). She needs to finish her schooling. She can’t do all of that with a $7-an-hour job.” Baby daddy Gary Shirley currently has custody of her daughter, Leah.

Lindsay Lohan Seriously Considering Plea Deal, Jail

Gasp. Did Lindsay Lohan finally read the writing on the wall? Sources say she is finally getting it through her air-filled head that one way or the next, she’ll end up behind bars following her grand theft arrest. As a result, she is “seriously considering” taking the plea deal that would send her to jail, but for a relatively short stint if she can behave herself. Judge Keith Schwartz has offered LiLo a deal for her alleged necklace heist. Three months is the offer. That could be pared down to a measly 19 days because of good behavior, the non-violent nature of the crime and overcrowding. Yet Lindsay has been adamant for weeks she would never take a plea deal because she feels she did nothing wrong, and maintains her innocence even now. Maybe she is innocent, but it doesn’t matter. The reality is that the girl has made a mockery of her probation for so long that she’s going down either way. If were to go to trial and lose, or be jailed for a probation violation, she could end up at a hard-ass state prison , too, not a minimum security country club. Basically, the plea deal sounds better and better. Lindsay will be back in court Friday to either take the relative bargain or declare a pointless legal war. [Photo: Fame Pictures]
