Justin Bieber is close to reaching a plea deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case.
The "Boyfriend" hitmaker was arrested in Miami in January and charged with DUI, resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's license, but all three charges will be dropped if he pleads no contest to reckless driving, TMZ reports.
It was previously claimed the 20-year-old star - who will receive a year's probation as part of the agreement - would refuse a plea deal if it involved being subjected to random drug testing, but the proposal from prosecutors does not include this as a condition.
Justin was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini when police stopped him for allegedly drag racing. Toxicology test results later showed the singer had traces of marijuana and Xanax in his system at the time of the arrest.

A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that prosecutors will drop the DUI and resisting arrest charges if the "Baby" hitmaker also completes 40 hours of community service, attends an alcohol education course and a "victim impact panel" to hear relatives of DUI victims share their stories.

Lindsay Lohan is going to rehab for 90 days.
The 26-year-old actress - who arrived to court in Del Aire, in Los Angeles County 48 minutes late today - plead "no contest" after striking a last minute deal with prosecutors in relation to charges for lying to police about driving her Porsche when she hit a cement truck on the Pacific Coast Highway last June while still on probation for stealing a necklace.
The Liz & Dick star was also sentenced to 30 days of community service and 18 months of psychotherapy, two months of which she has already completed. The troubled starlet will be allowed to complete her community service in New York after her stint in rehab and her lawyer Mark Heller will appear in court on May 2 to give a progress report.
The judge advised the actress - who was showered with glitter by a fan before entering the court - "don't drive" and warned her that this was her last chance to escape jail. He said if she violates her probation again, "we are going to be done with it,"before adding, "This is it."

Lindsay Lohan Refuses Plea Deal

Lindsay Lohan is refusing to accept a plea deal which includes rehab or jail.
The 26-year-old actress has been offered 45 days in jail or 60 in rehab by prosecutors after being charged with lying to police about a car accident in California last summer but she has rejected both as she doesn't want any type of confinement.
"The Los Angeles City Attorney is requiring either jail time or rehab for Lindsay as part of any plea deal in her lying to cops case. She would have to go to rehab for at least 60 days, and the jail time would be at least 45 days. Lindsay refuses to accept any deal that has any type of confinement as part of the deal. Someone with her criminal history is lucky to be offered such a great deal, but she just doesn't seem to understand that. Barring any last shred of common sense on Lindsay's part, this case is going to trial," a source said.

Plea Deal for Lindsay Lohan?

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer is working on a plea bargain which would see her avoid rehab.
The 26-year-old actress - who has been accused of lying to police about whether or not she was driving during an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway last year - previously rejected a proposed deal that would allow her avoid jail time in return for a 60-day stint in rehab but she may still manage to remain out of prison.
"A plea deal could be reached without Lindsay being forced to go into treatment. Since she wasn't arrestedor charged with crimes related to drugs or alcohol a plea deal requiring her to go to rehab isn't the only way a resolution can be reached. There are other possibilities including the options of Lohan undergoing extensive counseling and lengthy community service," a source said.
Lindsay's attorney Mark Heller has been working with prosecutors to try to iron out an agreement. "Talks between Mark Heller, and the City Attorney's office are ongoing and both sides are hopeful a plea deal can be reached soon that is mutually agreeable," the source added.

The 20-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore was charged with two misdemeanors on Tuesday after being arrested for allegedly drinking beer at New York's Union Square on Monday and giving officers a fake ID, but she doesn't want to end up with a criminal record over the incident.
Explaining why she won't be pleading guilty, Scout's lawyer Stacey Richman told People.com, "It would be outrageous to mar a person that's clearly going places - clearly seeking to have a career... with a criminal record. The goal is clearly a non-criminal offer."
The lawyer went on to describe the student as "clearly intelligent" and "devoted to her studies" and branded the arrest "ridiculous."

Paris Hilton Detained in Japan
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Even though Paris Hilton made a plea bargain in the states for her cocaine troubles, the country of Japan seems to not care for any of her “It wasn’t my purse”-like excuses, as authorities there detained the socialite upon her arrival.
Paris and her sister Nicky Hilton flew to Japan in order to debut their Fall/Winter collections. Instead, they were held and interrogated Paris about her cocaine possession (and her well-publicized obstruction of justice) for six hours until police decided to deny her entrance into the country.
There is no word yet as to whether or not Paris will stay until the issue is resolved or fly back to the United States.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Although it appears Lindsay Lohan might be heading back to jail, Paris Hilton will be avoiding a second trip behind bars ... at least, for now.
According to Clark County District Attorney David Roger, the socialite has reached a plea agreement in relation to her August 27 arrest. On that evening, Las Vegas police officers pulled over a vehicle driven by boyfriend Cy Waits. Hilton was later charged with misdemeanor drug possession (because less than a gram of cocaine was found in her purse) and obstructing an officer (because she lied about owning said purse).
