According to Frankie’s publicist, Cherry Banez, Frankie was arrested because she missed her probation visit due to the fact that she was undergoing treatment at Dr. Drew’s Pasadena rehab center in California. Take a look at the letter that Frankie’s publicist sent to sandrarose.com : Sandra! fyi – unfortunately, Frankie was in a catch 22 situation – she missed probation because she was at rehab at Dr. Drew’s Pasadena center.

Happy Saturday, Bossip fam! A few weeks back we fell into the Aries cycle of the zodiac. The fiery ram is the first astrological sign – often referred to as the “baby” of the astral rotation – this may explain why people are so drawn to them. They are quite like a giggling, carefree baby that you can’t help but stop and make silly faces with as you say, “Awe, so cute” and in that moment you are reminded of the feeling of joy. That’s the innocent, natural charm they have about them, they can grasp the attention of anyone in the room and seduce them with their wit and youthful perspective. The ram tends to have the “you make me feel like a teenager again” effect on people and possesses the ability to arouse the less jaded, rosy parts of the people surrounding them. Perhaps, it’s their fearlessness and the absence of worry that keep them so vibrant and full of life? Speaking of fearlessness … as children, the Aries is often the kid with countless bumps, bruises and battle scars and will almost always take more than a few hard knocks to the head … just ask one! Oh, and little ram girls are often the quintessential tomboy that grows into the woman who loves sports like one of the guys … just ask one! Anyone close to an Aries will tell you that the adventure is constant with them and you can almost expect the unexpected or some random encounter you won’t soon forget! Just like a ram an Aries is, more often than not, extremely headstrong – a cut to the chase, aim straight for the target type of person. This is a large part of what makes them successful in life and all its endeavors – be it business, personal or pleasurable. They are very direct and candid and leave no room for you to misunderstand what they can do for you and what they expect from you in return. They will always say what’s on their mind and their candor is often mistaken as being cold-hearted or harsh but, more often than not, their intentions are far from cruel. Most of them learn early in life to watch what they say to people and by adulthood they are seasoned poets and know how to use their words to get what they want. Just as the Aries is likable, there are some things about them that are hard to bear. Let’s refer back to the baby that’s cute and cuddly and makes you smile. Well, just like a baby who doesn’t get what they want when they want it, a ram will throw a tantrum like you wouldn’t believe! They hate to be rejected or hear the word “no” and when things don’t go their way, the ram will buck in a fit a rage and destroy whatever or whoever is obstructing the path to getting what he/she wants. And Aries are notorious for being most destructive with their words. Shamelessly, they will take someone’s deepest, darkest secret and use it against them if it means they’ll gain some sort of emotional leverage in an argument or sometimes it may be just a “ha” moment for them. As childish as it seems, that’s how they are … remember they’re the baby! The Aries is often pegged as being selfish because they think of themselves and their needs first regardless of who it may inconvenience. But, in order to correct this, they have to recognize they have this tendency first, and work hard to place others before themselves. This is difficult for them because they have a hard time admitting when they’re wrong and if they do, in their eyes, the work is done. This astral sign is a late bloomer in terms if maturity but once they “grow up” they are very loyal, calm and discerning. Patience is what you’ll need and learn you have more of when dealing with them! Sex with an Aries is nothing short of adventurous and primal. There is something about this sign that like things to be in their raw form – no pretense, no over the top lingerie, no extra toys, no make-up; just two sweaty, naked bodies! If you’re angry at the ram, he/she would love for you to punish him/her in the bedroom. If you’re feeling a little aggressive or in the mood for a little rough-play don’t hold back! Don’t forget this sign loves adventure and pushing boundaries. Even though the ram is a leader, they love to be dominated from time to time and they are turned on by a tussle over who will be in the driver’s seat during a steamy session! Though they’re not the most romantic people, they sure know how to make you feel special in those intimate moments! They’re highly instinctive in knowing what feels good to their partner and how to make sure their lover reaches their peak, and they will not stop until they have fulfilled that task! And when it’s all said and done, they are the best spooners … complete with the sweeping of fingertips over your body relishing in the afterglow of good love and all it’s splendor! So, if you have the pleasure of loving on an Aries, remember to keep things fun, fresh and natural – as they do bore easily – but if you keep them guessing, they will remain curious! My best friend, favorite auntie and my ex-husband are all Aries and I’m a Libra. I’m really into astrology and we’re zodiac polarities so I think I might understand or be a more patient with them a little more than most. They really are good people but they make it hard to love them and once they love you, they love you for life and will go to war for you, no questions asked, regardless of if you’re right or wrong. It’s true! I love all the Aries in my life but I do not need another one because they are a lot of work and are quite demanding. I love them though and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them because there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for me. – Jaime, 33 I don’t have any Aries friends and I don’t like them. My mom’s best friend is an Aires and we used to go at it all the time. She used to act so hurt that I didn’t like her, cry the blues to my mom and be all surprised at what I had to say like she I wasn’t supposed to say what was on my mind but she could? I think Aries women are very manipulative, disloyal, selfish and I would never consider one of them a friend to me. I can’t stand an Aires and that’s coming from a Cancer. – Heather, 27 The love of my life was an Aries. Man, we had the most amazing, mind blowing sex, she blew me away! Wow. I know that if we had met in a different space and time we would be perfect for each other. She was just very consumed with scars from her past and she couldn’t see past them enough to receive the love I was offering up to her. Even though I wasn’t the source of her pain, she treated me like I was. I know deep down she’s a wonderful person but she couldn’t see it herself. She blamed everybody else for all her problems but never took the blame for her part in all the things that went wrong in her life … even still she can’t admit when she’s wrong. If she would grow up take responsibility for her sh*t, she would be a beautiful partner but I just don’t see it happening. – Trey, 29 We like to get our way. We’re very giving and good providers but we can be such brats. My husband is an Aries and so am I so it’s like looking in the mirror. He can be very immature and child-like. I can’t stand how bold he can be. We will say hurtful things, and it’ll be the truth, just to get a rise out of you and see what kind reaction we get from you. We don’t like to be questioned but we’ll question the hell out of you. We are the most sensitive and the most insensitive with others. We’ll procrastinate but rush you. We are demanding but, a lot of times, unwilling to give. But that man has my back! Whenever it comes down to it, and I don’t care how mad we are at each other, we are unified and that’s what I love about him. – Kira, 31 My opinion on Aries is they’re all passive aggressive as*holes and they can all pull the trigger. That’s why they’re the first sign, they’re the experimental first child that you have to work all the quirks out on before you can do anything constructive with them. I’ve yet to have a positive first experience with those selfish, hypersensitive yet most insensitive beings. Can’t stand them. – Erin, 26 Shouts out to all the Aries! Happy Birthday!

Bodog now has Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina as the favorites to win season 10. By James Montgomery The “American Idol” top 8 Photo: Michael Becker / FOX Pia Toscano’s early exit from “American Idol” has shocked experts , celebs and fans . And, as it turns out, it was also a shock to a group of folks who don’t get shocked all that often: oddsmakers. It seems that, in the wake of Toscano’s elimination, the brain trust at Bodog’s sportsbook has been forced to rejigger their odds. For weeks, they slowly moved her up the list of likely “Idol” winners — she originally opened as a 14/1 long shot , but heading into Wednesday night’s show, she was a 2/1 favorite to take home the crown — and now that she’s out, they’ve anointed Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina as the new co-favorites. Bodog gives both singers 5/2 odds at winning “Idol,” followed by James Durbin at 4/1. Haley Reinhart gets 15/2 odds, Casey Abrams gets 8/1 and Paul McDonald is in at 12/1. Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone bring up the rear, getting 14/1 and 20/1 odds, respectively. And though they were forced to re-shuffle, the folks at Bodog have let the initial shock of Toscano’s departure wear off. Because, as they put it, no matter how hard anyone tries, it’s often impossible to make sense of the whims of “Idol” voters. “From the beginning of the season, Pia Toscano had been a popular bet who … was a clear favorite to win it all,” Bodog sportsbook manager Richard Gardner said. “It may be a shock that she was sent home, but with all the contestants putting on a solid performance the other night and the track record that this show has for voting the wrong people through, I am not surprised at all.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

As a minority owner, Jay is not supposed to contact collegiate athletes who aren’t draft-eligible. By D.L. Chandler Jay-Z visits the Kentucky Wildcats locker room Photo: Darius Miller The New Jersey Nets were hit with a hefty $50,000 fine following minority owner Jay-Z’s impromptu visit to the locker room of Final Four squad the Kentucky Wildcats last month. The expensive slap on the wrist from NBA officials was due in part to a ruling set in stone by the league that professional team personnel must avoid any contact with collegiate athletes that are not yet draft-eligible. NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the fine Friday (April 8) before the Nets entered a contest with nearby rival squad the New York Knicks at New Jersey’s Prudential Center. CBSSports.com broke the initial news of the infraction and the NBA’s investigation as video surfaced of Jay-Z congratulating Kentucky team members at the Prudential Center after the squad clinched a Final Four berth by defeating the North Carolina Tarheels. The video reportedly showed no evidence of foul play or tampering, as the players were clearly soaking up the experience of meeting one of hip-hop’s most successful stars. Caught up in the revelry of the moment, it may have slipped the mogul’s mind that he was in violation of the league’s very strict rule by going in the locker room and greeting the players after their big win. New Jersey Nets officials expected the fine, surely a drop in the bucket for billionaire Russian owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who began his takeover of the team in 2009 with the NBA, approving the sale in 2010 — giving Mr. Prohorov an 80 percent majority stake of ownership of the ball club.

Last Friday, leaked Breaking Dawn sex pics caused a major stir. Today, another set of images from the upcoming film are making news – G-rated, less controversial news. Bella’s wedding dress has been revealed! EW scored pics from Stephenie Meyer’s new book, The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide , which goes on sale April 12. Below, you can see an artist’s conceptualization as Bella as a vampire and Bella as a bride … Can you imagine K-Stew rocking that piece? The book’s illustrator, Young Kim, has done a great job bringing Meyer’s characters to life thus far. We imagine the forthcoming, two-part film will be no different.
The stunning elimination of Pia Toscano on American Idol Thursday night will no doubt go down as one of the show’s most controversial in 10 seasons. Despite her lackluster stage presence, her talent outclassed much of the field, with many predicting she would make it all the way to the May 25 finale. No one understood why Pia was in the bottom three to begin with. As the results were revealed, the judges and her fellow hopefuls were dumbstruck. When the show ended, no one in the studio audience moved. In past eliminations, it’s been an easy transition off the stage, but this was no ordinary elimination. Crushed, Pia buried her head in Jacob Lusk’s chest. Haley Reinhardt wiped away tears and prompted the crowd to cheer for Pia. Stefano Langone looked destroyed and guilty that he kept a spot over Pia. Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler surrounded her to show their support, as if she’d just lost a loved one. It was that kind of shocker. But the votes don’t lie, and this wasn’t the first such shocker on Idol . Still, it’s gotta be top five, right? Here are four that ranked up there with it: Chris Daughtry. The presumptive winner of season five was ousted before Taylor Hicks (winner), Katharine McPhee AND Elliott Yamin. Wow. Melinda Dolittle. The veteran backup singer was on a collision course for a finale with Jordin Sparks (winner), but Blake Lewis beat her out. Michael Johns and Carly Smithson. They finished eighth and sixth in Season 7 (David Cook and David Archuleta finished 1-2) Far too low. Jennifer Hudson. The future Oscar winner finished 7th in Season 3. Fantasia (winner) has had a nice career, but finalists 2-? Unknowns. What do you think? Was Pia Toscano the most shocking elimination of all? Something to ponder as you watch her swan song last night, “I’ll Stand By You.” Some of the first words: “Why you look so sad …” Pia Toscano – I’ll Stand By You (American Idol) [Photo: Fox]
File this under News You Didn’t Expect When You Got Up This Morning But Still Aren’t Shocked By At ALL: Allen Iverson went OFF on the cops last week! After a car belonging to him was pulled over for a traffic violation last week, the former NBA star told the officer, “Take the vehicle, I have 10 more.” Iverson was a passenger in the grey Lamborghini spied by an Atlanta officer changing lanes without signaling about 6 p.m. March 30, CNN reports . The driver, Antwuan Clisby, couldn’t produce any documentation for the vehicle, then told the officer Iverson needed to leave the car to eat dinner. The officer said no one was leaving until the investigation was done. Iverson became “irate” at that notion, proclaiming, “I’m the (expletive) passenger.” The officer radioed for backup, and a second unit arrived. Clisby and Iverson exited the car, and A.I. kept cursing at the officer, who informed him of his expired tags and that the car would be towed. “Take it, I have 10 more,” Iverson said. “Police don’t have anything else (expletive) to do except (expletive) with me … Do you know who I am?” The officer wrote in his report that he was just getting started: “For the next 20 minutes, Mr. Iverson went on and on about who he was.” “I stated, ‘It really doesn’t matter who you are. You tried to conceal your vehicle with a fake drive-out tag due to you not paying for your tags.'” Iverson then said, “I make more money than you will in 10 years.” Clisby then asked, “Would you want to pay $10,000 for a tag?” To his credit, Iverson later “came back and apologized for disrespecting the police,” the report said. “He stated he was just upset about his car.” Clisby was cited for not signaling and for the expired tag. Bet the fee to get the ride out of the city tow lot was under $10K though. Just saying.
