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.

Welp. That sure got ugly in a hurry. On Tuesday night’s intense episode of Bachelor in Paradise, two contestants got into a legitimate fight — and here’s the truly shocking part… … neither of these contestants was Blake. Indeed, the polarizing sex fiend who has been at the center of most Season 6 installments to date mostly sat this one out last night. Hence why his face was left without a scratch on it at the end of the two hours. The same can’t be said for Jordan Kimball and Christian Estrada. How did this all begin? With Christian not wasting any time asking out Nicole Lopez-Alvar, as all viewers witnessed the instant chemisty between these two. What about Clay Harbor, who was concerned that the only woman in which he interested in was slipping away? Nicole believed Clay to be overly passive… yet he earned an opportunity to show his slightly more assertive side when Christian attempted to steal Nicole again after their date. The guys strangely held hands as they argued over who she should get to spend time with her, only for Nicole to eventually choose Clay, who admitted to being “jittery” after this confrontation. Got it? Following along so far? Okay then… it’s now time to talk about Jordan. He already had beef with Christian prior to Bachelor for Paradise. And then Christian set up a piñata for Nicole during the cocktail party and, after Christian told Clay to go away, Jordan felt an urge to stand up for his friend. Therefore, he tried to take down the piñata, resulting in an actual fight between him and Christian. “Don’t touch my pinata,” said Christian, who had only just been trying to convince Nicole he’s a sweet guy. He then grabbed Jordan, and Jordan grabbed him, and then that’s all we got because ABC got a “to be continued” in order to tease the fallout that will air next week. BOOOOO!!!!!! Watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 6 Episode 4 Online Elsewhere, Dylan Barbour struggled to comprehend why Hannah Godwin was willing to give Blake Horstmann a chance in any way, shape or form. He pressed her about her interest in this loser — and she finally divulged that Blake visited her in Alabama a week before Paradise. What the heck is up with this guy and all his previous connections to the females on the island?!? He and Hannah even kissed during the pre-show meetup, as Dylan expressed pain over the fact that Hannah hid this information from him. Tayshia Adams, meanwhile, confronted Hannah for withholding the Blake hangout from her, considering Blake Horstmann took her on a date during week one of Season 6 . Adams felt blindsided, which was the same feeling she and Hannah both experienced during Colton Underwood’s season. Hannah did not really appreciate the candid conversation, saying that Blake’s visit was “private” and she didn’t share the story out of respect for him. (Ummm… talk about IRONIC , huh?!?) Hannah thought the show was a better outlet to figure out their connection and later claimed Tayshia “mean girled” her. Also on avery busy episode: Dean Unglert caught Caelynn Miller-Keyes’ eye upon his arrival. However, she grew irritated upon accusing Kristina Schulman of “slut-shaming me across this entire beach.” Dean, who wanted to make up for his earlier sins, didn’t seem to mind her tears, asking her on a date despite the breakdown. Or maybe because of it. He and Caelynn ended up making out in the pool. Finally, Demi Burnett and Derek Peth seemed like the only strong, solid couple in all of Paradise…. but she was secretly conflicted because of the woman she had been dating in Los Angeles before the show. Yes, we said woman . Bachelor in Paradise Trailer: Demi Burnett Kisses a Woman!!!!! Burnett missed her and still thought about her. Like, a lot . She later came out as sexually fluid to several people, but hesitated to tell Derek because she didn’t want the revelation to ruin their connection. In the end, though, she opened up and was relieved by his accepting reaction.
Well, it’s official — Britney Spears is now the most relatable celebrity on the planet. It seems that despite Brit’s status as a bonafide A-lister and pop goddess, she’s just like the rest of us, in that she still can’t resist the allure of a good Target shopping spree. Entertainment Tonight has obtained court documents related to Spears’ ongoing conservator case , which shed new light on the singer’s financial situation. Some of the revelations are not surprising, such as the fact that Brit is worth nearly $60 million. Others have caught fans off guard — including the fact that Britney shopped at Target at least 80 times in 2018. Yes, that’s more than once a week — and it seems Spears is 100% vulnerable to that thing where you go in for toothpaste and wind up filling two carts with crap you don’t need. According to the documents, Spears spent more than $66,000 on household supplies alone last year. To put that in perspective, her travel expenses only totaled $70,000. (Obviously, the term “only” is used relative to Spears’ Windex and Swiffer pads budget.) To be fair, the supplies were not purchased at Target exclusively, but also at Home Depot, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, 7-Eleven and Amazon. But just for the hell of it, let’s say that Brit dropped $60k at Target last year. (Certainly not an outlandish figure, considering all the things you can buy there in addition to cleaning products and jumbo drums of fish oil capsules.) That would mean she dropped roughly $750 per visit. That’s a lot of graphic tees! Obviously, outside of her constant “Target run and dones,” Brit’s life is very different from the lives of most of her fans. For starters, she’s in court battling for control of her wildly lucrative estate. That’s just not a struggle that most of us can relate to. On top of that, Spears’ day-to-day living expenses totaled roughly $400,000 in 2018. That’s considerably more than most of us spend on or visits to Tar-jay. Still, it’s refreshing to find out that a multi-millionaire celeb has kept in touch with her working class roots in such an endearing way. (Especially since we would’ve pegged Brit as more of a Wal-Mart gal.) Sometimes, you just need to pick up some patio furniture, a smart watch, a giant bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, and a copy of This Is Us Season 2 on Blu-ray. And no matter how much wealth and fame you acquire, there’s still only one stop for that kind of shopping.
