Tim Lambesis, the lead vocalist for heavy metal band As I Lay Dying, was arrested yesterday on charges that he plotted to have his estranged wife murdered.
According to Reuters, police learned that Lambesis was seeking someone to carry out the kill, so the San Diego Sheriff's Office arranged for an undercover detective to act as the hit man.
After dealing with Lambesis and learning of his scheme, the detective took the rocker into custody.
Fresh off a speeding ticket in Dubai, Justin Bieber may be facing real charges at home.
Insiders confirm to TMZ that the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is pushing the District Attorney to prosecute the singer on battery charges, following his actions earlier this year concerning a neighbor in California.
Bieber is accused of screaming and spitting at the man.
Investigators are not looking to send Justin to prison, but rather to send a message.
They believe he's in need of counseling due to a series of poor choices and bad - often illegal - behavior.
Wade Robson is accusing Michael Jackson of sexual abuse, 20 years after it allegedly occurred and eight years after swearing it did not occur in court.
The choreographer, now 30, filed legal documents asking for money from the Michael Jackson Estate, on grounds of childhood sexual abuse.
He met Michael when he was 5. They became close. By the time he was 7, he had sleepovers at Neverland and MJ's homes in L.A. and Las Vegas.
The sleepovers continued until Wade Robson was 14.
Dr. Phil's production company is suing Gawker Media over its use of an interview with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man behind the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax.
The suit claims the company, via its sports blog Deadspin, posted the best parts of the interview online before it had aired in the majority of Dr. Phil markets.
The lawsuit also criticizes the entire "system" of content aggregation.
"A remora is a fish, sometimes called a suckerfish, which attaches itself to other fish like sharks," reads the legal complaint filed this week in Texas.
"The host fish gains nothing from the relationship but the remora is enriched by obtaining benefits (usually food and transportation) from the host."
Joe Francis was found guilty this evening of attacking a woman at his mansion in 2011, as the Los Angeles City Attorney announced that the entrepreneur was convicted on five total charges.
They include one count of assault, three of false imprisonment and one of dissuading a witness from reporting.
The incident took place about two years ago when a trio of females accused Francis of taking them back to his home in Hollywood… and not allowing them to leave.
One claimed he slammed her head into the ground.
Francis, a good friend of Kim Kardashian and a number of other celebrities, will be sentenced this week and faces up to five years in prison.
Lauryn Hill's sentencing hearing Monday saw the singer's attorney claim that she's paid off all of her debts - more than $970,000 in state and federal taxes.
Was that enough to keep the singer out of the slammer?
No. She'll be headed to federal prison for three months!
A Newark, N.J., judge, in dishing out the sentence of Lauryn Hill, said after she does the three months, three more months of house arrest will follow.
After that, she must do nine months of supervised release.
In his personal life, it's rather clear that Justin Bieber has found somebody to love once again: Selena Gomez.
In his professional life, however, the global superstar and his very good friend are now in legal trouble for allegedly NOT having somebody to love before Devin Copeland came along.
Allow us to explain...
Copeland has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Bieber and Usher, claiming that the duo infringed on his copyright when releasing the 2010 smash single.
Charlie Sheen's twin boys were removed from the home of their mother, Brooke Mueller last night, and are now staying with his other ex-wife, Denise Richards.
Officials decided Brooke's house was an "unsafe environment" for children.
It's not clear what prompted this, but L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services personnel arrived to Brooke Mueller's home with a warrant.
When they departed, Bob and Max, 4, left with them.
The kids are now with Denise Richards, the mother of Charlie's two young daughters, Sam and Lola. Denise has often helped Charlie in situations like this.
Reese Witherspoon has been honest and apologetic since her arrest two weeks ago, saying she is so sorry and so embarrassed about what happened.
With good reason.
While there's no excusing Reese's disorderly conduct (or Jim Toth's DUI arrest), at least the star has been forthright and hasn't tried to make excuses.
Which makes it sort of okay to laugh at the dashcam video of the arrest, during which Reese told GMA she said "all kinds of crazy things" to the officer.
She wasn't kidding:
The tape, obtained from law enforcement sources and posted on TMZ, shows the arresting officer arresting Reese's husband Jim for DUI April 19.
At which point, Witherspoon loses it!
Lindsay Lohan is not actually in rehab.
On Thursday, the troubled actress checked into rehab at Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, Calif., and then summarily checked back out.
The million-dollar question: WHY?!
"She felt Morningside was not suitable for her," a source said. "There were too many paparazzi and she didn't feel safe. Nobody close to her is happy about this."
"They think she's really not being smart."
