Alleged Drug Trafficker Wears Old Man Disguise, Still Gets Arrested

We really try not to give props to probably drug traffickers at The Hollywood Gossip. It’s an unofficial company policy. HOWEVER: We must spend a few minutes talking about Shaun Miller. An alleged fugitive from justice, Miller was arrested on Thursday in Massachusetts … after he tried to disguise himself as an elderly man to evade police. The attempt was both hilarious and unsuccessful. “Officers ordered [31-year-old Shaun] Miller out of the residence and Miller, disguised as an elderly man, walked outside. “Upon further investigation, officers determined that the ‘elderly man’ was in fact Miller,” the Barnstable Police Department announced in a press release on Friday. You’ve gotta give Miller points for trying, right? You then need to take away a lot of points for the crimes he supposedly committed, of course. Numerous pictures released by the Barnstable Police Department feature Miller with and without the mask, while an additional image depicts the rubber mask after police asked Miller to take it off. See for yourself: Along with the mask, the authorities reportedly came across “two loaded weapons hidden in a laundry basket and nearly $30,000 in cash,” according to the release. So Miller isn’t a good dude, it seems. That’s important to remember. The arrest of Miller comes about four months after he was indicted for federal drug trafficking and was considered a fugitive, based on CNN reports. He was booked on a charge of possession of heroin with intent to distribute. The Barnstable Police Department could not be reached for comment. Miller, meanwhile, is scheduled to appear in court on August 31 and it is not clear if he has retained an lawyer or how he has pled against his charges. But what is clear is that we’ve never read a story quite like this before. View Slideshow: Strange But True News Hall of Fame

Lindsay Lohan: BACK TOGETHER With Abusive Fiance?!

Earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan accused her fiance, Egor Tarabasov, of cheating in a bizarre late-night social media rant in which she also hinted that she was carrying his baby. We now know that Lohan is not pregnant  – but the situation with Tarabasov is far worse than previously thought. Video that emerged on August 5 showed Lohan and Tarabasov engaged in a physical altercation in public. Lindsay Lohan & Egor Tarabasov: Physical FIGHT Caught on Video! WATCH! The clip seemed to suggest that Lohan was in, at best, a disturbingly unhealthy, unstable relationship. At worst, it appeared to reveal that she’s a victim of domestic abuse. In the midst of the public outcry that followed the video, Lohan announced that she had broken up with Tarabasov . Fans were relieved, as it seemed that after years of self-destructive behavior, the troubled actress was finally acting in her own best interest. Now, however, it seems that reports about Lohan lying about her breakup were accurate, and she is still planning to marry the Russian billionaire. Seemingly as a means of announcing that she and Tarabasov were back on, Lindsay posted this photo of herself wearing the lavish emerald engagement ring with which he proposed: She removed it shortly after the video leaked earlier this month. Lohan gave no explanation for the reconciliation, but several fans expressed concerns about the 30-year-old continuing her relationship with Tarabasov. She’s made no formal announcement, but at this time it seems that Lohan is planning to proceed with her plans to marry Tarabasov. Hopefully those closest to her are monitoring the situation closely.

The Voice Coaches Team Up for Epic "Dream On" Rendition

When The Voice Season 11 premieres on September 19, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will be in competition with each other. They'll be jostling and arguing over which prospective contestants will be a part of their team. But the singers put all (jovial) animosity aside on Sunday night, teaming up for a special 30-minute preview of The Voice. The preview aired after NBC's coverage of the Summer Olympics, which ended up being extremely appropriate. Because Miley, Blake, Adam and Alicia put on a Gold Medal-worthy performance to conclude the special. It features all four artists on stage, belting out a version of the Aerosmith classic, “Dream On.” At one point, Levine even made Steven Tyler proud with his very impression rendition of Tyler's famous high-pitched vocals. It was pretty astounding, actually. We're not sure if anyone else in the music business could have pulled it off. Earlier in the episode, we were treated to a sneak peek at two of this season’s Blind Auditions, with the talent level threatening to reach its highest point to date. We couldn't believe a couple of the aspiring singers were just 17 years old. But that's all for a few weeks from now. You'll get to know the contestants a lot better on September 19 when The Voice returns. For now, we strongly recommend that readers give these coaches a few minutes of their time in order to check out their “Dream On” rendition. It's fantastic.

Lou Pearlman Dies; Backstreet Boys, ‘NSync Creator Was 62

Lou Pearlman, the infamous record producer who created such boy bands as The Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync, died in prison on Thursday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons record. He was 62 years old. The cause of death is believed to have been an undisclosed illness. Known in during the heyday of his career “Big Poppa,” Pearlman was one of the world’s most successful music producers in the 1990s. Based in Orlando, he created The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, LFO and O-Town. In 2000, however, members of The Backstreet Boys filed a lawsuit against their manager, claiming that Pearlman had set up their contract in an unfair manner. Via court documents, the band alleged that they had only received $300,000 …while Pearlman received millions. Soon afterwards, NSYNC also filed a similar lawsuit, as did Aaron Carter (pictured below with Pearlman) in 2002. Still, it wasn’t until 2006 when Pearlman got into real legal trouble. At that time, investigators discovered that he had defrauded investors of over $300 million in a Ponzi scheme. He did so by somehow convincing wealthy investors to put their money into shell corporations that did not exist. Pearlman fled to Indonesia in response to the charges and was captured in 2007. A year later, Pearlman pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. He was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, although a judge ruled that Pearlman could reduce his prison time ; for every million he paid back, the judge would take one month off his sentence. Pearlman never paid a dime. “Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away,” Lance Bass wrote in response to this news, adding: “He might not have been a stand-up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today w/out his influence. RIP Lou.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten Pearlman was a diabetic who suffered a stroke in 2010. “It was definitely a wake-up call,” he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, adding that he had since lost 75 pounds by walking around the prison track. It’s unclear whether this disease contributed to his death. View Slideshow: 90s Boy Bands: Where Are They Now?

Ryan Lochte Tries Again, Takes "Full Responsibilty"

Ryan Lochte has changed his story once again. For the better this time, however. Back on August 14, Lochte told the public that he and three U.S. Olympic teammates were robbed at gunpoint in Rio. But authorities investigated the alleged incident and could no evidence of such an armed robbery, leading to the eventual admission by Lochte's teammates that they actually caused quite a drunken raucous at a gas station. They vandalized the property, security guards confronted them about it and at least one of these guards did draw a weapon, ordering the group to pay for the damage. After it became clear that Lochte had fudged the truth lied, he issued a half-hearted apology that did not go over very well at all. So Saturday evening, in a sit-down with Matt Lauer, Lochte tried again.  I'm taking full responsibility for it because I overexaggerated that story and if I never did that, we wouldn't be in this mess,” he shared. “Those guys would never be in Rio. None of this would have happened. It was my immature behavior.” The 12-time medal winner said he “definitely had too much to drink that night,” saying he’s unable to say whether he was robbed or extorted. “All I know is there was a gun pointed at us, and we were demanded to give money,” he said. Lochte left Brazil the day after the incident, but his teammates remained. They actually got pulled off a plane and had their passports confiscated until they spoke to authorities and told them the truth. “I let my team down,” Lochte said through tears to Lauer. “I don’t want them to think that I left them dry. I took away from their accomplishments by being immature for one night. That’s what hurts the most.” Six more minutes of Lauer's interview with Locthe will air on Monday. For now, though, Locthe seems to understand the mess he caused. “I’m embarrassed for myself… I know what I did was wrong,” he said. “All I can do now is better myself in making sure this stuff never happens again. “I don’t want them to look at me like a drunk frat boy. I definitely want to be a role model for those young kids.” WATCH SNIPPETS OF THE INTERVIEW HERE:

Matt Roberts Dies; 3 Doors Down Guitarist Was 38

Matt Roberts, former guitarist for the popular rock band 3 Doors Down, has passed away at the age of 38. Matt’s father, Darrell Roberts, broke the news online just moments ago. Matt left the band in 2012 due to health issues, but continued to tour with other groups and as a solo artist. Darrell Roberts tells TMZ that his son Darrell was scheduled to perform in Wisconsin today and rehearsed with other musicians until late last night. Father and son returned to their hotel, where Darrell says he was woken around 9 am by detectives who informed him that Matt had passed away . Prescription painkillers were found on the scene. Darrell says that both he and the authorities believe Matt’s apparent overdose was accidental. At this time, no official ruling has been made with regard to the cause of death. The results of a planned autopsy will likely be released next week. Roberts was with 3 Doors Down when the band rose to international fame with their 2000 hit “Kryptonite.” He stuck with the group for their subsequent best-selling singles “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone.” The video for the latter song – a tribute to American war veterans – has been viewed more than 40 million times on YouTube: 3 Doors Down: “When I’m Gone” His musical talents and signature spiked blonde hair made Roberts one of the band’s most popular members. Darrell Roberts says his son’s fan base remained devoted even after he was forced to leave the band. He adds that Matt was “deeply beloved” by family and friends and described the loss as “devastating.” Tributes from fans and colleagues began pouring in on social media just minutes after news of Matt’s death was made public.

Rob Kardashian Gets Blac Chyna Tattoo on His NECK!

Oh, Rob Kardashian. We were a little leery of this whole Blac Chyna relationship from the start, but it seemed to be doing you some good. You lost some weight with Blac’s help ; you stopped living like a recluse and rejoined your famous family in its never-ending quest for more social media followers; you even patched things up with your sisters. And that was no mean feat, considering you spent the past few years doing everything in your power to burn those bridges. We’re talking unthinkable things, like getting engaged to your sister’s boyfriend’s baby mama. But we digress. The point is, we were skeptical at first, but there was a time when Blac seemed to be doing Rob some good. Now the whole thing is turning into the raging dumpster fire we were anticipating. It all seems to have started right around the time Rob got Blac pregnant , just one of the many life decisions that the couple made way, way too quickly. We’re not sure if the pregnancy was the cause, but for whatever reason, about the time that Blac announced she was knocked up, the cracks in her relationship with Rob began to show. Instantly, everywhere you looked there were indicators that all was not well in ChyRo world – and now we have this: Yes, Rob appears to have gotten “Angela” (Blac’s real first name) tattooed on his neck. Blac plans to go by “Angela Kardashian” once she and Rob get hitched, so since she’ll be cashing in on his last name, we guess it’s fitting that he wear her first name like a brand. This would be bad enough if these two were in a long-term, stable relationship. but they’re not. They’ve only been dating for a few months, and Rob and Blac just broke up  in July. Hopefully Rob can reach out to Johnny Depp for advice on how to alter this thing once the relationship goes south. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Their Relationship In 15 Photos

Kourtney Kardashian Questions Blac Chyna: Might She Really Suck?!?

Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online are well aware that Kourtney is the least dramatic of all these famous siblings. She's also the least confrontational. Sure, we've seen Kourtney go at it with Scott Disick on a few occasions, but she mostly stays far away from scandal and controversy. This Sunday, however, she won't be able to help herself. In the following clip, we see Kourtney in the makeup chair, talking to her stylist about the latest issue her family has with Blac Chyna. This was filmed several weeks ago, remember, so the issue at hand is the Blac Chyna emoji that showed her slapping the crap out of Kylie Jenner . It just went viral at the time the scene below was filmed… … and Kourtney is NOT happy about it. “It set me over the edge,” Kourtney says here of the emoji. She goes on to say she was “going to call Chyna” and yell at it, but: “I don't want to yell at a pregnant person.” So what did she do instead? She called and yelled at her brother. “This is the first time that made me question Chyna's intentions,” Kourt says in a confessional interview. “I usually don't let any of this stuff bother me. For some reason this just set me off.” After confronting Rob Kardashian, Kourtney explains that her sibling didn't like her reaction very much. “He said, 'I'm going to tell everyone how I have the worst, most disgusting family,'” she says over the phone to younger sister Khloe Kardashian. And how does Khloe react? What's her plan to get back at Chyna? Watch this sneak peek to find out!

Ryan Lochte: LYING About Rio Robbery?!

Last week, the world was shocked by reports that Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint  following a night out with some of their fellow OIympians in Rio de Janeiro. In the days that followed, the story took a number of bizarre twists and turns, and now the US athletes and Brazilian authorities are offering up very different takes on the investigation that followed. According to reports issued by a number of media outlets this morning, Rio cops were authorized to seize the passports of Lochte and fellow swimmer James Feigen so that they would be forced to stay in Brazil until the investigation was completed. However, Lochte is already back in the States, and though the swimmer has yet to comment personally, his reps say they received no word of the the search and seizure warrant issued by Judge Keyla Blanc De Cnop. A lawyer for Lochte says the 32-year-old swimmer “would have stayed” in Rio’s Olympic Village had he been made aware of the warrant. Feigen’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but it is believed he has returned to the United States or is at least en route. The entire US swim team had reportedly moved out of the Olympic Village by the time police arrived on Wednesday morning. Lochte told reporters that he and the other athletes had their cash and wallets stolen by armed bandits who initially pretended to be police officers. Judge De Cnop now says the men gave conflicting accounts of the crime. Bizarrely, the judge also cited Lochte and company’s “attitudes” as further evidence that they misled authorities: “It seems like the victims arrived with an unshaken physical and psychological state, making jokes with each other,” says De Cnop. Lochte’s lawyer, Jeff Ostrow, says Brazilian authorities never gave any indication that anything was amiss. “They never said, ‘Stay around,'” Ostrow told reporters today. “Otherwise, I would have advised Ryan to stay.” We’ll have further updates on this increasingly bizarre story as more information becomes available.
