Richard Heene Gets 90 Days in the Slammer

The Balloon Boy stunt captivated a nation. Now it's saddled Richard Heene with tens of thousands of dollars in fines and landed him in jail for three months. Heene and wife Mayumi, who together conspired and executed the now-infamous Balloon Boy hoax, both were sentenced to relatively light jail terms today. Richard Heene got 90 days in jail, but that includes 60 days of work release that will let him pursue work as a construction contractor while doing his time. Mayumi Heene, who was potentially facing deportation if convicted of a felony, will not be. She will, however, serve 20 days in jail after Richard's release. Both were also...

Courtney Love Accused of Abusing Frances Bean

What wasn't specified was why Frances Bean is now under guardianship of Kurt's mother and sister (sparking a series of Facebook rants from Courtney). A new clue has just surfaced, however.

Documents were filed by lawyers December 11 for the Cobains' guardianship, which was established on behalf of minor Frances Bean Cobain, who is 17. Courtney Love and Frances Bean Cobain in pre-restraining...

Amy Winehouse Charged with Assault (Again)

Amy Winehouse was formally charged with assault earlier today in connection with the recent brouhaha she started at a local theater. Anyone surprised? The 26-going-on-56-year-old soul diva was arrested after she turned herself in at a police station with her lawyer, a Thames Valley Police official said. She was charged with a public order offense and common assault under the name Amy Civil, following her Saturday melee at Milton Keynes Theater.
