The rapper known as Da Brat has just been given a fairly serious spanking from an Atlanta judge, who sentenced her to three years in prison for an assault where she reportedly beat a woman with a rum bottle at a Halloween party.

It appears that not all violent celebs slide with the actions.
In DeKalb County Superior Court yesterday the rapper known as Da Brat, officially Shawntae Harris, was given the sentence by Judge Gail Flake, who also passed along seven years’ probation and 200 hours of community service for the Halloween assault that took place at Studio 72 nightclub in Tucker, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta.

Da Brat, who reportedly slammed a nearly full rum bottle into the head of an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader who was serving as a hostess at the party, saw her victim fall down the stairs nd suffer a serious facial cut that left permanent facial scarring after bamming her with the bottle. In an effort to lesson her punishment Harris, pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault , likely hoping to avoid jail time.
Apparently it didn’t work out for her.
Reportedly after hearing the sentence, the rapper and her family broke down.
They didn’t expect some kind of justice for the victim?

Da Brat, no stranger to bad behavior, also is the proud possessor of a pistol whipping incident on her rap sheet that stems from another incident

Harris, who lives part time in Atlanta and  part time in Chicago, was the first female rapper to sell a million copies of an album, for  “Funkdafied,” She has toured as well as recorded with Mariah Carey; has been  nominated for a Grammy for “Not Tonight,” a collaboration with Missy Elliott, Lil’ Kim, the late Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes and Angie Martinez; and has also been seen on numerous  reality TV shows “The Surreal Life” and “The Celebrity Fit Club” to name two.

Apparently the only thing she has not done, is anger management classes…

“The Office” water cooler gossip just got a bit tastier.

Hit man Craig Robinson, and boy friend in the making to Kelly in “The Office” has been a naughty boy.

It appears he will be looking felony drug charges in the eye  after being arrested during a traffic stop.

Filed Friday afternoon in Los Angeles DA’s office, Robinson is being charged with ”  two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of being under the influence of a controlled substance.”

Apparently those controlled substances  he may have been influence by purportedly include   amphetamines, cocaine and cannabinoids—or any of the chemicals found in cannabis.

Robinson, was arrrested on June 29 in Culver City, Calif., when police officers pulled him over for a  simple little traffic violation and found drugs in the car, authorities stated, which made the arrest not so simple.

He will be arraigned on Aug. 21.

Surprise..  his representative had no comment.

What a role model she is!

Singer/addict Amy Winehouse took her 12-year-old goddaughter with her to a club the other night. According to mirror.co.uk, the poor little girl was then left to look on powerlessly as Amy drank to the point that she collapsed in a heap on the floor.

What can we say? Some things never change… And how somebody can ask Amy Winehouse to be their kid’s godmother, well that’s just beyond us.

Looks Like DMX, one of our favorite rappers, is at it again.

With an arrest record that has just a few places left for new entries, DMX got another time out today.
Miami wasn’t the Sunshine state for him today as he was picked up for a warrant that was outstanding for him in Arizona, where he walked away from a court date that was related to his charges for animal cruelty and drug possession.

TMZ had a few photos showing that the police grabbed DMX outside Walmart earlier this afternoon.( Hm… Save money and live better didn’t apply in this case)

Appearing on his behalf Tuesday his attorney stated that he had been in the hospital in Miami, though there were no details as to why.
The Judge chose to issue the warrant anyway, and his bond was raised to 25,000.

Strangely enough, DMX is currently using a court appointed public defender.
Equally curiously, DMX goes back to court the 26th of August for purportedly attempting to use someone elses identity in order to get out of paying a hospital bill in Arizona.

Are there money problems in the works as well as the legal variety? We can overlook the identity theft to save on the hospital bill, and the freebie legal aid, but shopping at… WALMART??

Gary Glitter, sometimes rock star and famous Brit personality, (famous for more than rocking it seems) has become the problem of Great Britain as soon as he is released from jail on Tuesday.
By way of the BBC comes the news that Glitter will be deported from Vietnam back to the UK this week when he is released from prison after spending about three years there for child molestation.

Born as Paul Gadd, he was found guilty in 2006 of obscene acts with two girls, ages ten and eleven in Vietnam while living in the tourist town, Vung Tau.

As soon as he’s released, according to Vietnamese law, he will be driven directly to the airport and sent home to the UK.
Is that the end of it.. Well not exactly. Upon his arrival in London, he will be met by the police who will take an interview with him regarding where he will live and take all information necessary to help local police keep track of him.

For his part, Glitter says he has no interest in the UK as a place to live (can’t blame him, all that pesky protecting society stuff going on there) and has mentioned the Phillipines as a place where he may go to relaunch his music career.

In a little twist of irony, one of the soft rock crooners biggest hit was called “Do You Wanna Touch Me?

Sienna Miller, model and actress, who is best known for her acting roles in Alfie, Factory Girl, and the Edge of Reason, apparently doesn’t care for the publicity that comes from dating a married man.

In the tradition of  more reclusive stars since the dawn of the industry she is crying “I want to be alone” or words to that effect.

Caught by photogs in Malibu while filling up her car yesterday she was suddenly surrounded and was being asked questions that made her feel uncomfortable.

The questions had a great deal to do with her interaction with the married actor she’s been seeing, Balthazar Getty, whose exploits with her have included topless romps while the wife spends her time at home with his four children.

Apparently Sienna didn’t think the attention the relationship brought her was of the variety she wanted and so, with a line of cars following her,(that was reported to be about thirty)she drove off to a police station in Beverly Hills and asked for an escort to escape them.

Too bad we can’t all get a police escort to help us to run away from the results of our bad life choices.

What’s your take? Did she bring it on herself or should everyone back off and let them enjoy their privacy?
