Selena Gomez’s Hacker in Jail
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
Gareth Crosskey was tracked down in an investigation by the FBI and the British Met Police after he posed as Selena's stepfather Brian Teefey - the administrator of the page - and wrote to him claiming he had seen personal emails between Selena and her boyfriend Justin Bieber in January 2011. He also claimed to have personal exchanges with Selena and her friend Demi Lovato.
Gareth, 21, pleaded guilty of two offenses against the Computer Misuses Act at Southwark Crown Court and Judge John Price claimed Selena "deserved" her privacy.
"You are clever with a computer and you hacked into the private part of somebody's Facebook account. Selena Gomez has a Facebook account on which she has six million friends. They have permission to get into part of the account and you hacked into a private part by getting the email password. People deserve privacy and should not have their private correspondence made public," he said, according to The Sun.

Evangelista was due to take the stand in court on Monday but a deal was struck up before the appearance, according to the New York Post. Although the terms are undisclosed, the matter seemed to have been solved and both sides are said to be happy with the result.
"Everybody's glad for the sake and the benefit of the child that it's done," David Aronson, the billionaire father's lawyer, said outside the courthouse.
The pair have five-year-old son Augie together, while Pinault married his current wife, Puss In Boots actress Hayek in 2009. The two have a four-year-old daughter Valentina together. The businessman also has two other children from a previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004.

Lindsay Lohan has settled a dispute with a Betty Ford worker according to reports.
The actress - who was accused of being violent with a member of staff at the rehabilitation clinic in 2010 - is said to have paid off the worker. At the time, Lohan said she was provoked by the alleged victim, Dawn Holland, and may have injured her in self-defense. The woman sued the 25-year-old star following the occurrence where she was apparently opposed to taking a breathalyzer test.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant appeared intoxicated at the time and Holland says she grabbed her right wrist, "twisting and pulling it for eight to 10 seconds." According to TMZ, the case was closed for an undisclosed amount.
Last week it emerged that Lohan has escaped any criminal charges for her alleged hit-and-run in March.

Kim Kardashian's lawyer says Kris Humphries' hurt feelings are delaying the couple's divorce. Kim filed legal papers in October to end their union after only 72 days of marriage and while she wants a divorce, Kris is seeking an annulment, with his lawyers asking for more time to gather information to decide whether to pursue allegations that the couple's marriage was a fraud.
However, the reality TV star's attorney Laura Wasser said they are eligible for a divorce since it has been more than six months since Kim filed her petition. "I feel that (Humphries') personal feelings and maybe some media drive is keeping this case alive. Certainly, they've been separated longer than they've been married," she said in court today.
The estranged pair are currently each footing their own legal fees but Ms. Wasser warned if the case goes to trial and Kim wins, she will ask that Kris pay her hefty expenses. Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told both sides to return to court on August 15 for a status hearing.

Jennifer Hudson did not hear the opening statements at the trial of the man accused of killing her mother, brother and nephew. The Oscar-winning actress and singer attended the first day of the trial of William Balfour at the Cook County courtroom in Chicago today, but did not listen to the statement, court spokesperson Terry Sullivan confirmed. Her partner David Otunga, however, sat in the fourth row to hear the case.
Balfour is charged with three counts of first-degree murder relating to the 2008 killings, with prosecutors claiming a gift of balloons sent to Jennifer's sister Julia Hudson threw him into a jealous rage, causing him to use a .45 caliber handgun to kill 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, 29-year-old Jason Hudson and Julia's son Julian King, whose body was found three days later. There are no known witnesses to the killing, and despite prosecutors claiming physical evidence of gunshot residue found on the wheel of his SUV, defense says it is circumstantial.

Alec Baldwin has slammed his alleged stalker on Twitter.
Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin, 40, appeared in a New York court on Monday accused of stalking and aggravated harassment of the 30 Rock actor after he reported her to police but Alec lashed out at her for smiling as she was led away in handcuffs.
"Isn't it odd when an accused stalker is in handcuffs, being taken away by the cops, yet smiles for the cameras?" he wrote on his Twitter.
Alec also wrote a message to his fiancee, 28-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas, praising her for her support: "I am lucky and grateful in my life now, no matter what the motivations of certain others. @hilariathomas (sic)."
"Its a 2way st, amor. This woman has taken up enough of our time & energy. Now we have to trust the judicial system that they will protect us (sic)." she replied.

Lindsay Lohan Celebrates End of Probation
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Parties, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan celebrated the end of her probation with a party that lasted until 2am.
The troubled actress - who was advised by Judge Stephanie Sautner to curb her partying ways when she was officially released from her probation yesterday - was joined for a meal in the penthouse suite of Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont hotel by 45 friends and family members, with the guests not leaving until the early hours of this morning.
"Lindsay's guests ate paella and watched Elizabeth Taylor's Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Lindsay was in an extremely good mood and grateful to be off of formal probation," a source told RadarOnline.com.
While alcohol was served at the party, Lindsay - who has endured several stints in rehab - did not indulge in any. "The party went until around 2 am. Alcohol was being served in moderation but Lindsay wasn't seen drinking. It's just rather strange that Lindsay chose to have the party at the hotel, especially after what the judge said to her in court. Lindsay would have been much smarter to have just had a few people over to her house, but that isn't her style, and she just loves the privacy and security that Chateau Marmont offers her," another guest said.

Lindsay Lohan's probation will not be affected by a hit-and-run allegation.
The troubled actress is due to make her final court appearance on Thursday, and though she has been accused of hitting club manager Thaer Kamal with her Porsche and leaving the scene, the claim will not count against her.
According to gossip website TMZ, a report submitted by the probation service mentions the incident and the fact that it is under investigation by police, but discounts the claim and gives it no weight as charges have not been filed against Lindsay, nor has she been arrested. "The probationer [Lindsay] is in compliance with the terms and conditions of probation," the report says.
The document also notes that the actress will complete court-ordered counseling sessions today and her final stint of community service tomorrow. Judge Stephanie Sautner has said that she will terminate the probation - which stems from a 2007 driving under the influence conviction - if Lindsay is still in compliance.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Break-ups, Legal Issues, Meltdowns,
Hugh Hefner's son, Marston, has been sentenced to a 52-week domestic violence program for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
The 21-year-old eldest son of the Playboy mogul was accused of kicking Playmate Claire Sinclair and punching her in the stomach during at fight at their Pasedena apartment on February 12. He was subsequently charged with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant and entered a plea of "no contest" in court yesterday.
Marston also stood accused of damaging Claire's laptop during the fight, although that charge was dismissed. According to TMZ.com, the judge ordered him to stay away from Claire - who was pictured moving out of their home just days after the alleged attack. The 20-year-old model quit Playboy while the case was ongoing, and originally said she would drop the charges if Marston apologized publically and sought psychological help.
Marston has previously admitted to having extremely high standards when it comes to women, having grown up in the Playboy Mansion. "My, like, expectancy for what girl I'm going to get is, like, so f*****-up. I've just been around really hot women my entire life, so the average high school girl won't do it for me," he told GQ.

Brooke Mueller has pleaded guilty to cocaine possession.
The reality TV star appeared in a court room in Aspen, Colorado, today after being arrested last December for possession of a class-A drug as well as assault for allegedly hitting another woman in a nightclub.
Although the assault charges were dropped because there wasn't enough evidence, Brooke pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, according to RadarOnline.com. Under the terms of her plea deal, Brooke - who was recently released from rehab after completing 90 days treatment for drug addiction - must continue her outpatient drug treatment, and if she completes all terms of her probation, the possession charge will be dismissed in a year.
Brooke is determined to stay clean for the sake of her sons. "She's serious about staying clean, she's now living with a sober living companion, and going to Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. She is hopeful that her recovery from drugs and alcohol will be sustained and lifelong. The only thing she is taking is vitamins. The main focus in Brooke's life right now is being the best mom possible to Bob and Max and staying sober," said a source.
