Adam Lambert Accused of Assaulting Photographer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,
American Idol 9 runner up Adam Lambert is facing battery charges following an altercation with a photographer in Miami Beach on Thursday.
Photog Victor Eras says Glambert charged toward him and attacked him. Although the 38-year-old did file a report, police say Eras did not sustain any injuries. It’s not known what, if anything, precipitated the scuffle.
According to the Associated Press, the state attorney’s office will decide if any charges should be filed against the singer.
Adam addressed the story via Twitter: “Battery? Nope. I attempted to grab a camera, no punches were thrown and no one was on the ground…. It was literally harmless. If embarrassment is a crime- thats all I’m guilty of.”
It’s actually one of the most lucid Twitter posts we’ve read all week.

Paris Hilton Charged With Possession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Looks like the “It Wasn’t My Purse” defense didn’t get her out of this one: Paris Hilton has been charged with cocaine possession.
The hotel heiress could face up to four years in prison after 0.8 grams of the illegal drug was found in her handbag when she and boyfriend Cy Waits were stopped and searched by police in Las Vegas on Friday night.
It has been claimed District Attorney David Roger - who is overseeing the case - is set to sentence the 29-year-old socialite to prison, because he “won’t tolerate celebrities” who get into trouble. “Roger won’t tolerate celebrities coming to Las Vegas and thinking they can get away with illegal behavior. It’s going to be extremely difficult for Paris to get out of these charges, even with the brilliant legal skills of her lawyer, David Chesnoff,” said a source.
She is due in court on October 27 over the felony possession of a controlled substance charge, which was filed in court by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office.
