Handcuffing a male escort to a radiator against his will apparently isn't really that big of a deal after all.

Boy George, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison in January for falsely imprisoning a male escort in his London apartment, was released from jail early today due to good behavior.

Looks like George managed to escape the Karma Chameleon this time.

Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox's 24, turned himself into police at New York City’s First Precinct around 4pm yesterday.

He was arrested on the third-degree assault charge, photographed and fingerprinted, and walked out of the precinct at about 6pm accompanied by his Los Angeles lawyer, Blair Berk.

All this stems from an incident over the weekend where Kiefer allegedly headbutted fashion designer Jack McCullough without cause.

Chris Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, told the LA Superior Court on Wednesday that he intends to file a motion to dismiss the assault case against Brown because of police leaks in the investigation.

He implied that the case had been tampered with because of the photo of a badly beaten Rihanna that surfaced on the internet.

Despicable.

Geragos, who previously defended Michael Jackson during his child molestation case, is the slimiest of the slime. He thinks questioning police conduct is going to allow his abusive, sociopathic client to slither through. Sickening.

After serving 20 months of a 40 month sentence, former Prison Break star Lane Garrison has been released from prison.

The actor was paroled and picked up at 3:50am Wednesday from the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, California. He will now go to a rehab facility as part of the terms of his parole.

Redmond O’Neal was allowed to leave jail for three hours over the weekend to see his mother Farrah Fawcett who is currently battling cancer.

The visit was supervised by a sergeant and deputy who drove him to his mother’s house and then returned him to prison.

Prison Break star Lane Garrison has been granted parole for good behavior.

And Jessica Simpson will be picking him up from prison.

Seriously.

Former Prison Break star Lane Garrison has reached a financial settlement with the family of the 17-year-old killed when Lane crashed his car in 2006.

Garrison pled guilty to vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol after Vahagn Setian was killed and two 15-year-old girls were injured in the crash.

The actor has been serving a 40-month sentence since October 2007.

The amount of money paid out has not been disclosed according to TMZ, who first reported the settlement.

Skylar Deleon, a former child actor and star of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has been sentenced to death for murdering Arizona couple Tom and Jackie Hawks.

Deleon is 29.

Prosecutors say in 2004 Deleon and his friend pretended to be interested in buying the Hawks’ yacht and killed them during a test cruise by tying them to the anchor and throwing them overboard so they could steal the boat and their savings.

Ryan O’Neal has chosen to give his son, Redmond, some tough love and let him sit in jail waiting for his court date.

Redmond O’Neal, 24, was arrested on Sunday and charged with a felony count of drug possession.

And he already has a drug possession charge pending in a separate case.

And he was recently kicked out of rehab for failing a drug test.

Rapper T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., was sentenced in an Atlanta courtroom yesterday to a year and a day behind bars following his October 2007 arrest, when he was caught attempting to buy an arsenal of guns from an undercover FBI agent.

The sentence is part of a plea deal T.I. arranged that required him to complete a total of 1,500 hours of community service, pay a $100,300 fine and serve 366 days in jail for the crime. Without the deal, he was facing more than four years up the river. 

With good behavior, T.I. could be free in just ten months.
