Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty Unfortunately, Sebastian Telfair got hit with a three-and-a-half-year sentence for gun charges this week. Footage of the former NBA point guard’s reaction in a Brooklyn court after learning his fate is painful to watch. “Please don’t take me from society right now,” said Telfair, per the New York Post . “I am 34. I can go play in China for six years and take care of my family. I’m waiting for my daughter right now to get her period. Real mental illness because I wasn’t around … She hasn’t even gotten her period yet.” Whoa. You can see the fear in the Brooklyn native’s eyes as he pleads not to be taken away (see clip below). “I’m being convicted on purpose, that’s what the headline need to be,” Telfair can be heard saying, clearly none too pleased with the jury’s decision. The Judge’s response was cold and sobering. “I’m not going to say very much, I’ve observed you throughout the trial,” said Judge John Hechtt per the New York Daily News . “I don’t think the people disagree… the judgement in this case sir, is what the jury convicted you of … You’ve achieved greatness in your life and this case doesn’t take that away.” Ya hate to see it.

Source: athima tongloom / Getty Cobb County is joining Gwinnett County as the latest Georgia jurisdiction to suspend enforcement of some misdemeanor marijuana violations. The reason? The state’s new hemp law. Gov. Brian Kemp legalized hemp farming in Georga. The hardy, versatile corp has been prompted by some as an economic development opportunity for rural areas. Hemp and marijuana are closely related and similar in smell and appearance, making it very difficult if not impossible for law enforcement to tell the difference between the two, according to officials. In light of that fact, Cobb County Police Chief Tim Cox announced that his department would make “a temporary procedural change” until a “remedy” is found. “After discussions with prosecutors, it appears that arresting someone for misdemeanor marijuana possession is not recommended,” Cox said in a statement. “As a result, effective immediately, any misdemeanor amounts of marijuana that an officer encounters will be confiscated and sent to the Evidence Unit to be destroyed. A criminal charge will not be made until a solution can be found to this dilemma.” Cobb Solicitor General Barry Morgan said there will be no wholesale dismissal of cases that are already on-going, but new cases brought after the hemp bill was signed this past May will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. “The GBI has told us they are working on finding a new test that could differentiate marijuana from hemp and cases will be held pending that,” Morgan said.

By now, you’ve probably heard the news that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have separated after less than a year of marriage. At this point, media outlets of every stripe have had their say, as insiders and unnamed sources continue to theorize about what may have led these two to call it quits. Obviously, the photos of Miley making out with Kaitlynn Carter have led many to the conclusion that Miley needed something Liam couldn’t provide for her. And based on the latest report from Radar Online, it seems that assessment might not be far off. An insider tells the site that Miley put real effort into settling down, but in the end — she just couldn’t be tamed. “She was bored in her marriage and she was bored in bed with Liam,” says a source . The insider adds that Miley did not keep her feelings to herself, but instead told Liam how she felt “many times.” Though Hemsworth was “willing to change things up by bringing in another partner,” the source said Cyrus “needed more than that” and may have arrived at the conclusion that she’s more attracted to women. “She really did try her best to fit into this wife role at first, but she is just not ready to be a domesticated housewife,” the insider claims. While the split apparently did not come as a total shock to Hemsworth, he was reportedly stunned by how quickly Miley moved on. According to the source, “heartbroken” Hemsworth “was completely caught off guard” by Cyrus’ pics with Carter. It seems Miley is also having a hard time with the separation, but she’s receiving much-needed support from her siblings. Her parents, on the other hand, are openly wondering if she made the right decision. “Miley’s sisters support her and just want her to be happy,” the insider says. “Her mom Tish and dad Billy Ray are not quite there yet though,” the source adds. “They really love Liam, and Miley’s parents wanted nothing more than for her to have some children so that they could have grandbabies.” As for the reports that Miley and Kaitlynn are dating , they appear to be bogus — and that’s probably a good thing. Sounds like Miley should probably figure out some things about herself before she jumps into another relationship. View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus Risks Catastrophic Nip-Slip on Saturday Night Live
Source: Brown County Sheriff's Office / Brown County Sheriff's Office Man Sentenced 3 Years In Prison For Wife’s Meth-Filled “Death Party” There’s probably a much less poisonous and criminal way to celebrate the death of your spouse. According to NYDailyNews , 59-year-old Duane Johnson was sentenced to 3 years in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to criminal neglect and 3rd degree murder of his 69-year-old wife Debra Johnson. See, Debra lived in a nursing home and she told Duane she wanted to be removed so that she could die at home after some “partying”. The couple used meth for 5 days, had sex, and listened to their favorite song Quiet Riot’s “Metal Health”. Duane was found butt-a$$ naked next to his wife’s dead body back on January 24 this year. Debra’s autopsy revealed her cause of death as “methamphetamine toxicity”. Duane likely would have gotten more time but the judge gave him credit for the 201 days served. This case took place in Minnesota but if we didn’t know any better we’d swear it’s Florida.
Recently, Shannon Beador has been totally inseparable from her businessman boyfriend, John Janssen. Their relationship has been looking serious. Now, as they get closer, they’re getting to know each other’s kids. Look at these sweet blended family photo. Shannon Beador and John Janssen are serving up Brady Bunch realness in this family photo that she shared on Instagram. “What an experience at my very first rap festival,” Shannon’s caption begins. “#Realstreetfest,” she tagged her post, adding that the “Kids had a ball.” She and John just tried to keep up. “Parents did their best to be hip,” Shannon concluded. It’s great to see these “cool parents” having a good time with all six children — three of hers and three of his. But it’s not really a surprise to see that everyone is so comfortable around each other. After all, earlier this month, Shannon affirmed to Us Weekly that she and John are “in a really good place”in their relationship. Shannon has been gushing that she has “never been happier.” You know what? After everything that David put her through, we can believe it. Shannon has also explained part of why she is so willing to trust him after having been hurt so deeply in the past. “My friends have known him for 30 years,” Shannon explained. When you’re hooking up with a friend-of-a-friend, you can sometimes (and only sometimes!) skip worrying about someone’s true intentions. “So,” Shannon reasoned. “I didn’t have to make sure he was there for the right reason” She’s a wealthy celebrity. That must be a huge weight off of her shoulders. Every time that she discusses her boyfriend, Shannon just sounds over the moon. “He’s just a great person,” she gushed about him. As we’ve seen, Shannon was a little horniness-motivated earlier in the year, but this time, it sounds like there’s a real emotional bond. “I have a great connection with him,” Shannon revealed. And then she dropped the L-word, saying: “I’m very much in love.” Shannon is now thoroughly divorced from David. So … should we be expecting wedding bells in her future? “I’m 55 years old,” Shannon noted earlier this month. “I haven’t wanted to rush into anything.” “I’ve got one shot left,” she expressed. “if I want to be realistic.” To be clear, plenty of people marry more than once after turning 55. Shannon explained: “I want to be certain this time that everything is gonna be good.” It’s good that, as head-over-heels in love as she is, she still has her feet planted firmly on the ground. Some folks — especially when they’re looking to rebound from a marriage — lose all sense of reason and repeat past mistakes. It sounds like Shannon has both the wisdom and the common sense to tread carefully, even when her heart is bursting with affection. Still, introducing someone to your kids (and yourself to his kids, and the kids to each other) is a huge step. If things carry on like this, we could be seeing a lot more of John in the future.

Jed Wyatt made a very small mistake during his time on The Bachelorette. He slept with a woman prior to leaving for the show … told this woman that he loved her… never broke up with her… and then never told Hannah Brown that this woman existed. When Brown learned the truth, two days after she accepted an engagement ring from Wyatt, she pulled the plug on this romance. Now, a few weeks after the dramatic Bachelorette finale aired and Wyatt was exposed as total liar and douche canoe, Jed says he just wants to be viewed as a role model. He says he hopes young men out there can learn from all the ways he went wrong. Talking late last week to friend Haley Ringo on the talk show LAnded Late Night, Wyatt was asked where he hopes to be in five months. Once all this controversial dust settles, does Wyatt have any hopes for where he’ll be? Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? “I want to be just an all-around better person,” he said in response, adding in greater detail: “I mean, leading into the show, I just really felt like I did know who I was, you know, but I learned so much from this. From the mistake, from the journey, the whole — I learned so much. “I want to apply it to my life. “Like I said on the podcast, I do want to focus on my spiritual and mental health. I want to be surrounded with my friends, do fun things, fish a lot, sing, the things that make me who I am. I want to do all of that.” That sounds great and everything It even sounds like Jed has maybe learned something throughout this ordeal. But here’s the thing; All he had to do was break things off withh is girlfriend back home before going on a show specifically designed to help him find a wife. That doesn’t seem like a lesson anyone needs to learn ; it should just be innate, you know? (Also: Do not bash this girlfriend several months later , dude.) Stepping up way high on a soapbox, Wyatt later said in this same interview that he wants others out there to NOT follow his example. He wants them to learn from his sins. “To other guys out there who – they’re just out having a good time, they’re young and they’re having fun… I would want them to kind of see and understand that you never know when you’re gonna meet your person,” he said. Expressing regret over losing Hannah, he continued: “Could be today, could be tomorrow, could be ten years from now, but the person that you are leading into that means everything. I want to help other guys see that. “You just never know and there’s no better feeling than looking at someone and know that that is your person. You can mess that up by playing with other people’s emotions.” Hannah, of course, is actually single right now and recently admitted that she’s struggling . So if Jed were really serious, it could conceivably make a move to get back together with her. But we doubt she’d go for that, even if Wyatt did sound contrite on ABC’s After the Final Rose special. “First and foremost, from the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that I’m sorry,” he told her after getting dumped. “Apparently, they’ve already shown where I half apologized but, especially in hindsight, now that I’ve had time to review myself and my past and my behaviors towards not only you but other people, I fully see that I wasn’t the best that I could be. “And by lacking details to you, the things that you deserve, and the things that you want, it kind… ruined what we found here in a place that I never would have expected to find love like this with someone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. “And I know that you felt the same and I’m sorry that I took away that experience from you. I’m sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, everyone, my family, I’m sorry. “I’m responsible for this. I will own up to it all day.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Where Are They Now?
Well, let it not be said that we here at The Hollywood Gossip can't admit when we're wrong. For years, Jenelle Evans has been talking about her makeup line , and for years, we've been saying it'll probably never happen. Well, it looks like we were mistaken. Multiple sources are now indicating that Evans and her team have selected a launch date for JE Cosmetics.

Finally Yes, folks, it’s all happening! Jenelle Evans is finally launching her makeup line! But some fans are still skeptical that the products will actually be made available to the public. 2. Looking Back Jenelle, of course, has been teasing the release of her makeup line for YEARS now, and a pattern has emerged in her promotional efforts. 3. Makeup Shake-Ups It goes something like this: Jenelle announces a vague launch schedule (a certain month or season); said month or season comes and goes; Jenelle never explains why the launch didn’t happen. 4. But This Time … This time, however, things are somewhat different, in that Jenelle has announced a specific date for the release of her long-, long-awaited makeup line. 5. Start Getting In Line Now! According to announcements made on her Instagram page and some event called Miami Swim Week, JE Cosmetics will be available for purchase on September 19! 6. Inauspicious Start Unfortunately, the launch is already off to a rocky start, as the announcement has been deleted from Jenelle’s Instagram page. View Slideshow
