Gospel Singer BeBe Winans Arrested For Assault

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:25:00 GMT

Grammy Award-winning gospel singer BeBe Winans has been arrested on a domestic violence charge. TheSmokingGun.com is reporting that the arrest stems from an incident on February 13, when the singer allegedly shoved his ex-wife Debra D. Winans to the ground in front of their two children, ages 10 and 13. According to the report, the two had a "verbal altercation" regarding "custody issues dealing with their children."

The incident reportedly took place at Winan's ex-wife's Nashville home where he had driven to pick up the kids. “The victim was telling the defendant of issues with the children when he became irate," says the report. Winans was briefly held at the Davidson County jail before posting $1000 bond.

One-half of the successful brother-sister gospel duo BeBe & CeCe, Winans is currently a judge on the BET reality series 'Sunday Best.' Ironically, his arrest comes one day before his good friend Oprah Winfrey is set to air a domestic violence special.

Suns' Jason Richardson Arrested for Speeding with Toddler Son in Car

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:20:00 GMT

Phoenix Suns guard Jason Richardson was arrested in Scottsdale last night for driving 90 mph in a 35 mph zone. The worst part: he had his unrestrained 3-year-old son in the backseat.

After he was stopped, Richardson told police that he had taken his son to dinner and was on his way home.

Richardson was arrested and charged with reckless driving, excessive speeding and failure to use a child seat; he was released within a few hours.

Police report that Richardson's wife arrived at the scene of the incident and took custody of the boy. Let's hope she puts a stop to any more father-son dinner dates until Richardson learns how to use a child seat. 90 mph and his kid wasn't restrained? He's lucky it wasn't his last supper.

Heather Locklear Was Arrested

Heather Locklear is having a rough year.

Heather Locklear was arrested on the suspicion of driving under the influence. What kind of influence is still to be determined by the police investigating the arrest. Heather has been released on her own recognizance and did not have to post bail.

The arrest took place in Santa Barbara on Saturday, just two months after Heather completed a rehab stint for "anxiety and depression". The anxiety and depression may have been triggered by the alcohol and pill taking, which was the rumored real reason Heather was in rehab.

Why does everybody think that 1 month is a long enough rehab time, for a habit that has been building for such a long time? Anyone can go for a month without something, especially if they are used to Lent.

Photos: '40 Year Old Virgin' Actor Shelley Malil Arrested For Stabbing

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:33:00 GMT

Shelley Malil, the actor who played Haziz in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" with Steve Carell, was arrested on Monday for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend in a vicious knife attack.

Malil reportedly went to his ex's home in San Diego on Sunday evening and found her in the backyard with another man. He then chased her inside and outside the house, stabbing her as many as 20 times. Because that's what normal, rational people do when their ex's decide to move on with their lives.

Even more disturbing, the victim's two young children were in the home at the time and witnessed their mother being attacked.

Malil was arrested at an Amtrak station in San Diego. The victim, who has not been identified, is said to be in critical condition but is expected to survive.

Guess Malil is pretty cranky since he hasn't had much of a career after "Virgin." That is, unless you count his role in two episodes of "Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz." Guess now he'll have to settle for a prison production of Hairspray.

(See more photos of Malil on his IMDB page here.)

Dads Gone Mad: Rampage Jackson Arrested

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, former light heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighter Championships was arrested yesterday after being involved in a hit-and-run accident and then leading police on a brief pursuit. The crash left crumpled cars, shredded tires and sparks in his wake. Jackson was booked on suspicion of felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving in the incident that took place in Orange County.

At the time Jackson was driving a lifted, gray pick-up truck with his image plastered on the side. It's always nice to let the cops know who they're chasing after you've smashed up a bunch of cars.

Jackson has three boys, all with the middle name of Rampage: Diangelo, 8, Raja and Elijah, 1. His infant daughter is Naname Nakia ‘Page' Jackson.

Let's hope they kids have only inherited his name and not his driving skills.

MSNBC is reporting that actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright were arrested during a bar fight Saturday morning. Shreveport, La, police say the two were arrested along with five members of a crew filming an Oliver Stone movie just after 2 a.m. at a club called the Stray Cat bar.

Wright lives in Brooklyn with his wife and young son. Brolin, who is married to actress Diane Lane, has two children from a previous marriage.

Marion Jones Tells All to Oprah

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:45:00 GMT

Marion Jones, in her first interview since being sentenced to prison for lying about her steroid use and check fraud, told Oprah that she accepts responsibility for what she's done.

In an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show airing today, Jones says, "I think that I absolutely should have to accept responsibility for breaking the law. I have no regrets for doing what I did on October the 5th and pleading guilty and admitting to the world that I lied, that I've made mistakes."

Jones, who was sentenced to six months in prison and stripped of her Olympic medals, says the hardest part is dealing with the pain she has caused loved ones. "[It pales] in comparison to seeing my husband cry," she tells Winfrey. "They [pale] in comparison to seeing my mother have to stand there in the courtroom and bawl. You know, those things to me are what mean the most."

As for explaining to her 4-year-old son what it all means, "It's a very sensitive topic, and we're not dealing with a 15-year-old here who perceives things a different way," she says. "We're talking about a 4-year-old who was upset this morning that I couldn't drop him off at school, you know? It's going to be challenging."

Britney Assaults A Pork Tenderloin; Is Heard Shrieking Something About 'Fat Pigs'

HerBadMother — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:32:00 GMT

The latest on the tragic, tragic trainwreck that is Britney Spears:

The troubled singer has been BANNED from LA’s exclusive Chateau Marmont hotel after a string of complaints over her oddball behaviour.

The Toxic star came under the management spotlight after reports she was “acting weird”.

And it seems “acting weird” doesn’t begin to describe her latest act of lunacy, which saw Britney stunning fellow diners in the posh hotel restaurant by smearing a plate of top-notch food over her FACE.

Horrified guests were understandably outraged and demanded the management kick her out for good.

A source said: “The diners were disgusted. You wouldn’t expect that from a teenager in a fast-food joint.

“Royalty have dined in this restaurant. Her behaviour was totally unacceptable.”

No word on whether she was wearing underpants at the time, but I think that we can safely bet no. And I think that we can also safely bet that K-Fed's custody lawyers are already planning victory celebrations.

At the Chateau Marmont, no doubt.
