As previously reported Ronald Gasser, the man witnesses say stood over the former NFL player’s lifeless body after a road rage shooting, was facing a second-degree murder charge. Now after Gasser was found guilty of a lesser charge of manslaughter, he’s been sentenced to 30 years. NOLA.com reports that Jefferson Parish Judge Ellen Kovach sentenced Ronald Gasser to 30 years in prison for gunning down McKnight after a five-mile, mutual road rage-fueled chase. The judge also admonished both men for the incident. “Let this be a cautionary tale to all driver who rage behind the wheel of their car at other drivers,” said Kovach. “The tragedy could have been avoided if either man “had the good sense, the courage and the wisdom to simply disengage.” Gasser was facing 40 years behind bars.

As previously reported, Selena Gomez nearly died from last summer’s kidney transplant. Thankfully, however, she survived and is now thriving. But now fans of the singer are wondering about her relationship with Justin Bieber… which may be on life support. The artists, who got back together for approximately the 79th time in November, are now taking a break from their rekindled romance , multiple sources confirmed a few days ago. This is not a break up , these insiders insist, but just a step away from how serious the relationship had become after just a few months. “They were having a lot of little disagreements recently and one fight in particular blew up and caused them to [make this decision],” according to E! News. This outlet was quick to add the following, though: “They’ve been in contact the entire time and their feelings for each other have not changed.” So… what the heck is going on? What has driven these stars apart, even just temporarily, when it took them so long to find their way back to each other? “ Selena and Justin decided to take a break mainly because of Selena’s mom and her disapproval of Justin,” a source tells Us Weekly, surprising exactly no one who has been following the journey of these singers. Adds the tabloid: “Justin’s family loves Selena, but Selena’s family has put her in a very conflicting spot because they still don’t trust Justin. Selena has tried to convince her family that Justin has changed … but her family just isn’t budging right now.” This isn’t the first (or second… or third…) time that we’ve heard Selena’s mother has a major problem with her daughter dating Bieber. In mid-December, it was even reported that Mandy Teefy (pictured below with her famous child) had to be hospitalized as the result of a Bieber-related breakdown . It’s also been reported that Selena didn’t spend Thanksgiving with her boyfriend due to this ongoing tension. “Her relationship with Justin has really affected her relationship with her mom, and it’s been hard for her because she is super close with her mom,” Us Weekly continues. “Her mom was her rock when she was having her health complications. “Justin and Selena decided to take a break to give her family some more time to heal and take in the idea of her and Justin being a couple again.” Sounds pretty mature, actually. And also like Selena really is just like many other young women her age, trying to convince her parent that the man of her dreams is not actually a nightmare. Not that anyone can blame Teefy for having reservations, right? Bieber has broken Selena’s heart on numerous occasions in the past. It would almost be weird if Selena’s loved ones didn’t give her a hard time about this reconciliation; at least this shows that Mandy cares. For now, we’ll just hope that Selena really is working on her relationship with her mom and that the two will soon kiss and make up… … so that Gomez can return to doing a lot more than just kissing Bieber.

Thus far, 2018 has been filled with unexpected twists. Teenagers are being forced to talk some sense into their senators, and Donald Trump wants to take guns away without due process. Yes, we’re living in the Upside Down, folks, and it should come as no surprise that Orenthal James Simpsons wants to contribute to your growing sense that life is a confusing nightmare from which we never awaken: As you may have heard, O.J. is out of prison and has reentered the general population. Or – put a catchier way – the Juice is loose. Now, before he became one of the world’s most famous (alleged) murders, O.J. was a football legend who carved out a post-retirement career as a successful broadcaster. Unfortunately, two pricey legal battles and nine years behind bars have put quite a squeeze on the Juice’s assets. So it’s time for Simpson to once again horrify the world and further traumatize the families of his (alleged) victims by exploiting his infamy for money. As though 2017 didn’t give Simpson obsessives enough O.J.-phenalia, Sunday night will see the premiere of a Fox special entitled OJ Simpson: The Lost Confession? Believe it or not, that’s more than just a sensational title, as producers really do claim to have evidence that Simpson confessed to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman . Back in 2007, O.J. made the baffling decision to publish a book entitled If I Did It . As if that wasn’t bad enough, it seems the original title for the book was simply I Did It . According to the special, Simpson had his attorney call the book’s publisher, Judith Regan, and inform her that he did indeed commit the murders, and thus, the book needed a slightly more tactful title. Sources tell TMZ that that revelation appears in a scene that was edited out of Sunday’s special for reasons that remain unclear. Simpson’s lawyer reportedly told Regan that O.J. is not concerned about his public image, but did not want his children believing that he was guilty. TMZ points out that Simpson left his wife’s nearly decapitated corpse just feet from where his children slept, and had Nicole’s dog not alerted a passerby, the kids would’ve discovered the body it in the morning. But hey, at least he decided to protect them from the awful truth over a decade later. That O.J. – what a guy! View Slideshow: O.J. Simpson Trial Stars: Where Are They Now?

Source: Owen Franken / Getty Ahhhh, Twitter. A place of magic and mystery–and sometimes, a platform for people to completely air out their dirty laundry. If you’ve never seen a fly-out-story-gone-wrong floating through your timeline, you’re probably following the wrong people. Every so often, the Twittersphere gets hit with some personal anecdotes that may be painful for those experiencing it…but honestly, that makes it all the more entertaining. And whenever a popular Twitter honey is involved in the drama, things reach a whole new level. In today’s installment of: “She Tried To Get Him To Give Her HOW MUCH MONEY?” we meet popular social media personality, Lipstickthvg . With nearly 50,000 followers on Twitter, a lot of males and females follow Brittany for her enticing pictures. pic.twitter.com/DpEmeMbdvs — i wouldnt say a liar (@lipstickthvg) March 6, 2018 She’s a pretty girl, so it’s no surprise she has a few prospects in her phone. That’s where the drama starts. Another guy on Twitter, Maurice , began posting screenshots of his messages with Lipsticktvg. They’re pretty longwinded, but to summarize: He felt played after finding out Brittany was talking to another guy that he didn’t know about. Everything got especially wild in a text where Maurice asked how much money he’d need to give her in order to completely cut off that other guy from her life. Her answer? $15,000. @_LarryLight also me jokingly asking a price she said it's $15k to make you go away. (Cut you off) knowing I have the money to do it which is why she said so high (but I wouldn't) the next day she changed it to $10k which I still wouldn't do. Just Heads Up. pic.twitter.com/f0z3lrrJKr — Don Dada (@ScammyNewton) March 7, 2018 There you have it. I don’t know what’s worse, paying the girl your talking to to get rid of her other dude, or asking for $15K to earn your affection. Either way, this situation is clearly insane–and since it was posted on Twitter, the court of public opinion started firing off jokes. Get a good laugh today by taking a look at what the rest of the internet had to say about Brittany asking for $15,000, and Maurice offering to pay it in the first place. @lipstickthvg ‘s has created too much Twitter content tonight, enjoy the app while it’s free because stuff like this will have those twitter CEO’s charging sooner or later lmao. — est. 93’ (@Jesimein) March 8, 2018 If my homie ever told me he sent $15K to a chick pic.twitter.com/7uM0xMGaEC — (@DaveCapone) March 8, 2018 Me and my girl after u wire her that 15k to cut me off pic.twitter.com/6LSkGy7jeu — Yac House P (@PhillyTheBoss) March 8, 2018 Please offer my girl $15k to stop talking to me so we can go to Paris on your dime and I can eat steak off her booty like that Eddie Murphy pic while we laugh at your dumb ass — Beyonce has an uncle named Larry Beyince.

Source: Steven Lawton / Getty Officer Reginald Graham played a huge role in Meek Mill ’s arrest in 2007 for gun and drug charges. According to TMZ , Graham is 1 of 29 officers that were placed on a list that warned prosecutors to keep them off their witness stands. The list was obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer and his name was discovered on it. Follow @TheRSMS Graham was “investigated by federal authorities for several alleged acts of corruption.” He was also the only witness during the Mill trial in 2008. Mill’s attorney said, “The list — first obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer — states Graham was “investigated by federal authorities for several alleged acts of corruption.” Graham was the only witness in Meek’s 2008 trial. The release of the so-called ‘Do Not Testify’ list supports everything in the motions filed by Mill and others wrongfully arrested by Officer Graham for post-conviction relief.” At that time Mill was placed on probation for 10 years. In November the rapper was sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison for violating probation. We will keep you updated on this story.
