Gary Dourdan Arrested
Ex-CSI star Gary Dourdan was arrested in Palm Springs yesterday on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs. The actor was asleep in his car at 5:21 AM when officers approached his vehicle and made the arrest. Too bad this comes as no surprise to RWSers. We posted last week that Gary was let go from CSI because of his drug abuse problems.

Wesley Snipes Gets The Max
Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 3 years in prison for willfully failing to file a tax return. He was not taken into custody today and will most likely serve his time at a federal prison near his home in New Jersey. Wes made a $5 million payment to the treasury on Thursday, but prosecutors called it a grandstanding move. "It''ll be a fraction of what he owes," said Assistant U.S. Attorney M. Scotland Morris, who made the argument for the government. Morris said a rough estimate of Snipes' outstanding tax liability, with penalties and interest, will exceed $20 million.
Alleged Witness To Jam Master Jay's Murder Sentenced to 17 Years In Jail
An eyewitness to the killing of Jam Master Jay was sentenced to 17 years in prison for a string of robberies after the Run-DMC legend's death. Federal prosecutors claim Ronald Washington was more than a witness to the 2002 shooting in Jay's Queens recording studio. They have said in court papers that Washington brandished a gun and made people in the studio stay on the floor while an unidentified gunman shot Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell.
The 40-year-old Washington has denied any involvement and has not been charged in the slaying of the rap pioneer. Still, prosecutors asked a judge to consider it in sentencing Washington on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon declined, noting that Washington wasn't prosecuted in the shooting. Defense lawyer Susan Kellman says the prosecutors' claims are based on nothing but "gossip."

Eddie Is Not Missing
Yesterday Ricky Romance [hello, immediate red flag] whipped the Internet into a frenzy claiming his client, That's So Raven star, Orlando Brown had been missing since Tuesday. Yeah right. Orlando showed up on the Wendy Williams show yesterday and also released a statement about how he just needed to get away. Whatever Orlando. And ever since Ricky pulled that stunt with his brother, Raz B, claiming Chris Stokes molested them, then backed off the story, I wouldn't take his word for it. But that's just me.

It Didn't Take Long
for Foxy to get in trouble again. Fox Boogie was in a Florida courtroom today [April 23] to face assault charges stemming from that run in she had with a Pembroke Pines barber and beauty supply owner last year. You remember, she spit on the owner and squirted hair glue at him and slapped that cop and violated her probation by not having permission to be down there. Anyway, Foxy's appearance in court today was supposed to be a status hearing, but you know Foxy got to be difficult. Your girl tried to negotiate a plea deal directly with the State Attorney, cutting her local attorney out of the deal, so the local attorney got mad and quit the case on her. Foxy has two weeks to find a new attorney before her next court date, May 8th.

Foxy Late For Mass Held In Her Honor
Even though Foxy Brown is a confirmed Baptist, a Catholic mass was held in her honor at St. Paul's the Apostle Church on the Upper West Side. So what does Foxy do? Show up late with cameras in tow. Classy! Your girl was wearing a Zac Posen dress, Marc Jacob shoes and carried a $2,200 patent-leather Fendi Spy bag. Too bad it didn't have any money in it. They say after Foxy said her prayers, she lead her entourage to the church's gift shop and picked out $200.00 worth of religious baubles. But once she reached the register, she pulled the old I-left-my-money-in-my-other-purse routine and called out, "Oh, my God! I left all my money in my Louis bag!" She had to say it several times before her bodyguard stepped in and picked up the tab.

Three Suicide Attempts At Oprah's Leadership Academy
A wave of suicide attempts has swept through Oprah Winfrey's school for girls in South Africa. One student who attempted suicide was expelled and committed to a psychiatric clinic after she became disruptive in class and began cutting herself, another tried to jump off a building and still another tried to slash her wrists. None of them succeeded with their attempts. Last year sex abuse charges rocked the school and now this. Though nobody blames Oprah for the shocking suicide trend, she is devastated by the new developments.
Jay Z Refuses to Perform Mash-Up with Beyonce
They say Jay Z was performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday (16Apr08) when he decided to do some mash-ups and rap over popular songs. So the DJ, trying to be funny, put on Crazy In Love. Jay was all like, "F**k that. Sorry Bey, but f**k that - let's play something else." They say Beyonce - who was watching from the side of the stage - stormed off. But not to worry J&B enthusiasts, Jay apologized to his boo before continuing with the show and they were seen all hugged up at the private dinner and after-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Tropicana Bar.

Let's hope she can stay out of trouble till then.
Liar Liar Pants On Fire
It's no secret Akon likes to exaggerate. Remember that time he said both Alicia Keys and Beyonce were jocking him for a date? Or how he likes to claim he’s from Sengal when actually he was born in St. Louis, or that time he claimed he was a polygamist and had 3 wives? So it should come as no surprise that he exaggerated about his criminal record to up his street cred. Remember when he first came out, he said he spent 4 1/2 years in prison for running a car theft ring? Never happened. According to The Smoking Gun, despite having been arrested six times, the only conviction Akon has on record is a 1998 gun possession charge, for which he got three years probation. He was also arrested in metro Atlanta for possession of a stolen BMW and spent several months in a DeKalb County jail before all charges were dropped. But that's it.
