No, not Kevin Federline.

Adnan Ghalib, paparazzo and Britney Spears' slimy ex-boyfriend, has been sentenced to 45 days in prison for leaving the scene of an accident.

Looks like Britney won't be needing that restraining order anymore. Unless she's planning a special show just for inmates, that is.

Redmond O'Neal's never-ending jail-rehab cycle continues.

Yesterday, Redmond, 24, the son of actor Ryan O'Neal and the recently deceased actress Farrah Fawcett, pled no contest to bringing drugs into a prison facility this past April. He will be released from jail and sent to a year-long rehab program instead.

Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. is celebrating after reaching the five-year-sober mark.

The former Hollywood bad boy has been awarded his five-year chip at Alcoholics Anonymous.

Congrats!

The Oscar-nominated actor told those attending an AA meeting in Los Angeles that being sober has changed his life.

He said he makes the time to visit different AA meetings to keep people positive, and show them that even though he was strung out on drugs at one time, it's possible to live a sober life.

During yesterday’s hearing, Chris Brown, 20, pleaded guilty to felony assault.

He will receive five years probation, 52 weeks in an anti-domestic violence program and 180 days of labor service. He also must get all of his travel plans approved by a probation officer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg also ordered the singer to stay away from Rihanna.

If convicted, Kiefer Sutherland was only looking at a minor assault charge for his alleged headbutting incident in New York this weekend…

But that’s in New York.

The po-po in Los Angeles may have different plans for him.

We forgot, Kiefer is an ex-con who’s currently serving a five-year probation term in Los Angeles for his second DUI conviction.

And headbutting violates the terms of his parole, which decrees the actor must “obey all laws.”

Redmond O’Neal, Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal’s extremely troubled son, appeared in court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to charges he carried drugs into a California jail.

DUDE! You TOLD the cop you had heroin on you. How is that “Not Guilty”?

Are you pulling the “It wasn’t mine” defense?

It’s now being revealed that when police arrived on the scene of Rihanna and Chris Brown’s blowout early Sunday morning, Rihanna’s “visible injuries” included two “huge contusions” on both sides of her forehead, almost like devil horns, a bloody lip, bloody nose and bite marks on one of her arms and several of her fingers.

He bit her damn fingers?

WHAT THE EFF IS WRONG WITH CHRIS BROWN????

Dude is PSYCHO!

Faizon Love has been charged with felony assault following a fight outside The Standard hotel in West Hollywood last month.

Love showed no love that night. He is accused of hitting a man after he was turned away from the hotel’s nightclub on January 7th.

Faizon, 40, left the scene before police arrived, but he was later booked and released on $30,000 bail.

He faces four years in prison if convicted.

What’s up with people and their anger management issues?

Maybe he and Chris Brown can share a cell.

It's the British court system's turn to hurt Boy George and make him cry.

The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was convicted last month of falsely imprisoning a male escort in his London apartment. Today, he was sentenced to 15 months in jail. George has been convicted of other crimes in the past, but was given community service instead of jail time.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
