Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone was arrested for cocaine possession recently. He is 68 years old. Sly was due in court today to face the charge. Stone, a.k.a. Sylvester Stewart, got popped after LAPD officers say they found freebase cocaine on the old school rocker during a vehicle search. Sly’s attorney, James Silverstein, says Stone was riding in a buddy’s camper vehicle with some friends when a routine traffic violation occurred. That’s George Clinton behind sly. Both look Stoned . During the stop, Silverstein says, cops searched the vehicle and found the coke. Stone was arrested and hauled to a nearby police station. “The evidence is clear that the vehicle was not his,” Silverstein said. “I believe that this case his highly defensible, and Stewart should never had charges filed against him. We firmly believe the DA will lose this case.” We’ll have to wait until next week to find out it looks like. Stone is battling heart problems and could not make it to court today. Hope he’s okay … [Photo: WENN.com]
We all know Gisele may or may not have been fired from Victoria’s Secret for being born a man. We all know that Gisele may or may not have faked a pregnancy to alleviate those rumors. We all know that being married to a football quarterback doesn’t help her case, cuz the quarterback is always the gay one, eager for initation, eager for shower, eager to motivate the team with his mouth…or his women…. We all know that this doesn’t prove or disprove anything, but it may make you want to either go to Brazil to fuck trannies, or just start jerking off to trannies…cuz maybe they aren’t as bad as you think they are…homo…

A federal appeals court on Wednesday refused to allow gay marriages to take place in California while it considers the constitutionality of the state’s voter-approved ban. California Attorney General Kamala Harris had joined gay marriage proponents in urging the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to lift a stay that had been placed on a lower court’s ruling to strike down Proposition 8. Lawyers for two same-sex couples had sought again to lift the stay after the California Supreme Court recently said it would take at least until the end of the year to consider a legal question asked by the appeals court in the case. Lawyers for two same-sex couples had sought again to lift the stay after the California Supreme Court recently said it would take at least until the end of the year to consider a legal question asked by the appeals court in the case. They argued that the U.S. District Court ruling overturning the ban should be honored while the appeal, which they believe is unlikely to succeed, slowly make its way through the courts. “We felt then, as we do now, that it is decidedly unjust and unreasonable to expect California’s gay and lesbian couples to put their lives on hold and suffer daily discrimination … while their U.S. District Court victory comes to its final conclusion,” said Chad Griffin, board president of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, in a statement. In a letter to the court earlier this month, Harris said sponsors of Proposition 8 were unlikely to prevail in their appeal. Keeping it in effect, therefore, was a fruitless violation of gay Californians’ civil rights, Harris said. “The public interest weighs heavily against the government sanctioning such discrimination by permitting it to continue,” she wrote. Once the state’s high court makes its decision, the case will resume in the 9th Circuit. Once a decision is rendered there, the case is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Discuss..

The nutcases who like to picket soldiers funerals are threatening to protest at Elizabeth Taylor’s service because of her work with HIV/AIDS and gay rights groups. The anti-gay fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church said on Wednesday that it plans on picketing Elizabeth Taylor’s funeral. Margie Phelps, daughter of church leader Fred Phelps, tweeted the picket plan and referred to Taylor as a “serial-adulterous fag hag.” The apparently very Internet-savvy Phelps also tweeted, “No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud f-gs. They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!” Westboro has made funeral picketing threats before — in the case of both Heath Ledger and Natasha Richardson — but thankfully failed to show in either case. SMH… These mf’ers are so disrespectful. Source
Punkers Rise Against crash the boards at #2, while Travis Barker bows at #9. By Gil Kaufman Adele Photo: Jon Furniss/ WireImage Adele will retake the #1 position on the Billboard 200 next week after dropping down to the #2 slot last week. Sales of Adele’s 21 album were down 26 percent, but it still manages to retake the top thanks to 98,000 units moved, pushing the British R&B smoothie over the 750,000 mark after four weeks, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. That was enough to keep veteran punks Rise Against down at #2 with the debut of their latest, Endgame, which sold 85,000 copies to edge out last week’s #1, Lupe Fiasco ‘s Lasers, which sits at #3 on sales of 47,000 as sales dropped by 77 percent. The only other debut in the top 10 comes from Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker , whose all-solo bow, Give the Drummer Some, lands at #9 (28,000). The rest of the top 10: Glee: The Music, Volume 5 (#4, 43,000), Mumford & Sons , Sigh No More (#5, 41,000), Justin Bieber , Never Say Never – The Remixes (#6, 34,000), Avril Lavigne , Goodbye Lullaby (#7, 32,000), NOW 37 (#8, 30,000) and Marsha Ambrosius , Late Nights & Early Mornings (#10, 28,000). It was a short trip to the top 10 for veterans R.E.M. , whose Collapse Into Now slips 16 slots to #21 in its second week as sales dropped by 67 percent to 19,000. But apparently an appearance on “American Idol” last week was enough to boost the sales of the Black Eyed Peas’ slow-moving The Beginning, which jumps 16 places to #28 as sales were up 24 percent to 13,000, putting them just short of 600,000 in four months. The show even helped goose the sales for last season’s “Idol” winner, Lee DeWyze , whose dead-on-arrival debut, Live It Up, re-enters the top 200 after falling off the charts for six weeks. DeWyze, who also performed on “Idol” last week, quadrupled his weekly sales totals to 5,000, racing back into the top 200 at #96 and pushing the disc closer to 130,000 in total sales, the worst showing yet by an “Idol” winner. “iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove’s second album, High Maintenance, comes in at #34 (11,000), while sales for a 10th anniversary “Idol” hits compilation were tepid, as the disc limps in at #136 with nearly 4,000 units shifted. Over on the iTunes albums chart, Rise Against take the top spot, followed by Adele, Fiasco, Mumford, the “Glee” compilation, Barker, Rihanna ‘s Loud, Bieber’s My World 2.0, Lavigne and Ambrosius. The iTunes singles chart belongs to Katy Perry ‘s collabo with Kanye West , “E.T.,” which edges out the first original “Glee” single, “Loser Like Me,” and the Black Eyed Peas’ “Just Can’t Get Enough.” The rest of the iTunes top 10 singles: Rihanna, “S&M”; the “Glee” cast, “Get It Right”; Lady Gaga , “Born This Way”; Chris Brown , “Look at Me Now”; Jennifer Lopez , “On the Floor”; Cee Lo Green , “Forget You” and Ke$ha , “Blow.” Next week should see a serious shuffling at the top, as stores will be stocking Jennifer Hudson’s second album, I Remember Me, as well as the first new disc in five years from the Strokes, Angles, and, fresh off a controversial window-bashing TV appearance, Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E.

Actress will now go to trial; a preliminary hearing is set for April 22. By James Montgomery Lindsay Lohan Photo: David McNew/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan will not accept a plea deal in her ongoing felony grand theft case, deciding instead to go to trial. That’s according to TMZ , who reported Tuesday that Lohan — charged in early February with felony grand theft after allegedly taking a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store — had met with her lawyer, Shawn Holley, and opted not to take a plea being offered by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. She will now proceed to trial before Judge Stephanie Sautner; a preliminary hearing in the case is set for April 22. Late last month, Lohan was told by Judge Keith Schwartz that had she accepted the DA’s deal — reportedly six months of jail time — she would have been found in violation of her probation and would serve time. “I don’t care that you’re Lindsay Lohan,” the judge added, bluntly. “One of the things about me is that I treat everybody the same,” Schwartz said at the time. “What I look to in sentencing is, ‘What is the prior record?’ In this particular case, there has been so much speculation in the press [that] I’m just going to tell you a couple of things: If you plead in front of me, you are going to jail. There might be an issue about the amount of time, but if the case settles here, you will be going to jail.” By going to trial, Lohan now faces both jail and prison time — jail if Judge Sautner decides she’s violated her probation, prison if she is convicted of grand theft — but the actress has long proclaimed her innocence on the theft charge, tweeting that she “was not raised to lie, cheat or steal” and saying in TV interviews that she “feels great.” In March, security-camera footage showing Lohan trying on jewelry and texting appeared on “Entertainment Tonight,” who had apparently purchased 45 minutes of tape from the jewelry store in question.
