Rapper The Game Escapes Jail on Battery Charges

Karl Erikson — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:02:00 GMT

There's this rapper called "The Game." What kind of freaking name is that, anyway? Can you imagine his 5-year-old kid at school? "My daddy is The Game."

"What game? Candy Land?"

"No, THE Game."

"Oh, Hungry Hungry Hippos?"

At any rate, The Game - who really does have two sons - is in legal trouble. I know, a rapper in trouble with the law. What will they think of next? Apparently he got in a fist fight with his cousin at a family funeral a few months ago because, you know, rappers are classy that way. They're really like rednecks on the Jerry Springer Show. With more rhythm.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, had to go to court over this criminal battery charge. The judge said that Taylor won't have to go to jail if he attends 36 anger management meetings by February. This is probably the way to go for Taylor, since he's currently on parole for a previous gun offense. I KNOW! A rapper with a gun! Crazy.

But anger management classes? What the hell is The Game gonna do for a living after that? I mean, you take the anger out of rap and what are you left with? Reggae?

Mindy McCready Going Back to the Big House

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is no stranger to trouble. She's been arrested for a variety of reasons in the past: prescription medicine abuse, DUI, identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, violation of probation, battery, resisting arrest...hell, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. She is, in essence, the perfect country song. She's even attempted suicide.

Now she's going back to jail for another probation violation. The 32-year-old singer and mother of 2-year-old Zander Ryan McCready will voluntarily surrender to Tennessee authorities and sit in a cell for 60 days.

"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me," Mindy said, "so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Oh, hon, you're entertaining all right. Just not in a good way. But I'm sure of this...you're PERFECT for the country music industry.

Bill Murray: Lost in Litigation

Whit Honea — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:04:00 GMT

You've probably heard that Bill Murray and his wife Jennifer are getting a divorce. This was breaking news when I started writing this post, and then I started watching a hockey game- it just ended. That was 5 days ago.

I figured I better get to it before the NBA Finals tip-off.

Everybody's favorite meatball is being accused by his wife of being abusive towards her and a plethora of vices- drugs, alcohol and sex. It's ugly.

The couple have four children, which makes it all the tougher. Hopefully Bill can sort out whatever issues he has soon. I'm ready for a Stripes 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Sassy Smith — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:01:00 GMT

Former American Idol contestant, Jessica Sierra is in jail on misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer and two felony counts of possession of cocaine and battery. Oh and the icing on that jailbird cake is that she's PREGNANT.

Sierra will be seen on VH1's Celebrity Rehab, however she's in the clinker until then. The baby daddy is some dude who is apparently a rapper.

And as a Christmas bonus, she reportedly has a sex tape coming out. Super classy. Maybe she can get some parenting tips from Britney.
