Singer Chris Brown might have avoided jail time in his vicious attack on Rihanna, but domestic violence experts aren't letting him off the hook so easily.
Advocates fear Brown's plea deal, which gave him five years' probation and community labor, is so cushy that it sends the wrong message to young men and victims.
"It sets a very poor example," Roslyn Muraskin, director of the Long Island Women's Institute, said… Continue
The "Transformers" sequel pulled in a record-breaking $16 million with its midnight showings Wednesday, hinting at a big weekend for the critically maligned sci-fi actioner.
Although it came in just shy of "The Dark Knight"'s $18.5 million take with its own midnight showing last year, it was the biggest such showing on a Wednesday.
However, despite poor reviews, this big opening could prove that this particular event film is… Continue
The former Hole singer, visiting a midtown NYC bank Monday, shocked onlookers with a scary-skinny frame that suggests the star's yo-yo dieting may be out of hand once again.

New York rapper Tru Life, real name Roberto Guzman Rosado, Jr, reportedly turned himself into custody last night for a first degree murder charge.

NEW YORK — No fair: 50 Cent is cheating.
Well, it's not really cheating when you have producers such as Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don working on your album. Fif is stacking the deck for his current incarnation of Before I Self Destruct. Fif is on his third different production of the album, and he said the third time's the charm.
"I feel like my album is as close to perfect as it's gonna get," 50 told MTV News last week. "I'm reaching the point to where… Continue

Lil Wayne's lawyer went to court today ... ready to pull the trigger on the "bad dog" defense!
Weezy was busted in January 2008 at a border checkpoint in Arizona, where authorities found cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus. Wayne's lawyer told the judge he thinks the drug-sniffing dogs used in the bust may not have been reliable because they weren't adequately trained.

She allegedly conned her victims into investing money in an R. Kelly tour that never existed. The woman reportedly says she deposited the money… Continue
First Chris Brown beat Rihanna, then he beat jail.
The heavy-handed crooner copped an 11th-hour deal, pleading guilty to one felony count of assault for pummeling his former flame, in return for probation, community service and domestic-violence counseling.

Last week, Belgian teen Kimberly Vlaminck told reporters she fell asleep while getting a tattoo and woke up to find 56 stars inked on the left side of her face when she had asked for 3.
“It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak,” Vlaminck said at the time.
It turns out she was awake the whole time, had asked for all 56 of the stars, and was “fully aware” of what tattoo artist Rouslan… Continue

SHOULDNT THAT BE ILLEGAL?
UPDATE: In a statement to E! News, Hilton says: "I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I nonviolently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent. While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I would just hope people know how difficult it is to… Continue

Joanna Krupa has a mouth like a sailor -- and for some reason, it only makes her hotter.
Warning: This clip has REALLY, REALLY bad language.
Somehow, someway, a clip from the new show "The Superstars" got leaked to the 'net and picked up by our friends over at WithLeather. The clip shows Krupa cussing like crazy as she loses some physical challenges and then bashing NFL star Terrell Owens -- her teammate -- for screwing up.
