MURDERER JORAN VAN DER SLOOT IS LIVING IT UP IN PERUVIAN PRISON

Natalee Holloway’s murderer Joran van der Sloot is living high on the hog in his Peruvian prison, according to The Enquirer. A Dutch media company paid him $50,000 for a TV interview and his local lawyer has been funneling the money in measured amounts to him in prison. He uses the windfall to buy gourmet meals, his favorite drinks, and privileges like playing poker with the guards. He also buys expensive gifts for his prison buddy – a paid assassin who “protects” him. He’s become very popular because he buys cigarettes and food for the toughest inmates and pays off the guards. It’s too bad Peru doen’t have a law against criminals profiting from their crimes.

Fred Goldman Lawsuit Money OJ Simpson Prison

FRED GOLDMAN IS PICKING ON OJ SIMPSON AGAIN

Fred Goldman is a real hero in our eyes because he never gives up. OJ Simpson wouldn’t be sitting in prison right now if it weren’t for Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was murdered by OJ along with Nicole Simpson. After winning a civil suit against OJ and 33 million dollars in restitution, Fred relentlessly pursued OJ for the money and OJ was in the act of concealing his income when he was arrested for armed robbery. Anyway, Fred has NOT stopped the much-deserved harassment – now he’s filed suit against OJ’s lawyer – he wants the suit OJ was wearing (above) when he was acquitted of murder. Let’s hope he wins the suit, auctions it off for a lot of money, and keeps up the fight!

Cameron Douglas Crimes and Misdemeanors Drugs Michael Douglas Prison

THE TRAGEDY OF CAMERON DOUGLAS

What good can possibly come from locking up Michael Douglas’s son Cameron in jail for ten years to life? His track record isn’t nearly as bad as Farrah Fawcett’s son Redmond, but he’s confessed to drug dealing and that is the resulting sentence. He didn’t injure anybody and he didn’t get caught driving under the influence – he’s a danger mostly to himself. It’s a nonviolent, victimless crime. He’s messed up, but these harsh drug laws need to be revised. Personally, we take enormous satisfaction in seeing REAL criminals punished, but this is different. Prison is not always the answer. We feel awful for Michael Douglas, who showed up in court for Cameron.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Lana Clarkson Phil Spector Prison

PHIL SPECTOR: FROM TEDDY BEAR TO MONSTER

You’d never have guessed back in 1958 when Phil Spector was in the group The Teddy Bears that sang “To Know Him is to Love Him” that he’d turn out to be a murderer. Spector, 70, is back in the news and Lana Clarkson’s friends are not happy about it. Spector was convicted of murdering Lana and is in the process of serving a 19 years to life sentence at Corcoran State Prison. Citing an Associated Press story, Lana’s friends are outraged because Spector seems to be getting special treatment in prison. His 29 year old wife Rachelle is allowed to visit him twice a week and he is permitted to receive his OWN food and not partake in the prison fare. Spector has a private room and he petitioned for email access. This week Spector is being transferred to another prison, oddly named Happy Valley State Prison in Northern California. Erik Menendez is there and whether Spector continues with his “special treatment” remains to be seen.

Chris Brown Crimes and Misdemeanors Prison Probation Rihanna Romeo & Juliet

RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN’S PLANS TO HOOK UP LIKE ROMEO & JULIET ARE FOILED

Rihanna and Chris Brown had quite a jolt yesterday when the judge who sentenced Chris to six months of hard labor cleaning up highways and five years probation, flatly REFUSED Rihanna’s request to cancel the stay-away order. This was a real shock because Chris must stay 100 yards away from Rihanna for five years or his probation will be REVOKED and he’ll go straight to jail. Rihanna hoped the judge would drop the order. This enhances the tragic “Romeo & Juliet” aspect of their shattered romance. Insiders feel the former lovers hoped to reunite when things quieted down. Now they don’t have a chance. Smart judge.

Amy Winehouse Blake Fielder-Civil Divorce Drugs Parents Prison

AMY WINEHOUSE: MENTAL INSTITUTION OR DIVORCE?

Poor Amy Winehouse. In her impaired condition she may not be aware that her divorced parents seem to be chatting incessantly with rival newspapers in the UK. Amy’s mother Janis is hopeful about Amy’s relationship with Alex Haynes (pictured here) – he works for her manager and they’ve been hanging out together. Janis feels Blake incarcerated is a horrible influence on Amy and she says Alex is “a lovely boy.” (THAT started rumors that Amy is filing for divorce.) Amy’s father Mitch is saying, however, that he hopes to get Amy committed to a mental institution. He feels she is “a danger to herself” and rehab isn’t enough – he wants Amy to be locked up somewhere that she’ll be safe. “It’s too bad” he says “but what I think is good for her and what SHE thinks is good for her – are not the same thing.”

Amy Winehouse Blake Fielder-Civil Drugs Prison

IS AMY WINEHOUSE USING HER BEEHIVE TO SMUGGLE CONTRABAND TO BLAKE INCARCERATED?

Amy Winehouse overslept or something and she arrived at the prison too late to visit Blake. She tried to sneak home without being noticed, but that’s hard when you have an eighteen inch beehive. We started wondering if Amy had “things” hidden in her beehive (remember when tough girls hid razorblades in their beehives?) She COULD be smuggling any of a number of items to Blake. Is her beehive subject to searches?

Amy Winehouse Blake Fielder-Civil Drugs Prison

DID AMY KNOW WHAT BLAKE WAS DOING WITH HER AUTOGRAPHED PICTURES?

When we heard that Amy Winehouse’s incarcerated Blake was trading her autographed photos for hits of heroin in jail, we were surprised by his enterprising spirit. Apparently the photos end up for sale on the internet. But when Blake OD’d on a bad batch of heroin mixed with another substance, we wondered if her photos were bringing in the bucks. They ARE. Right now, you can find the THIS 8X10 Amy photo on eBay,and with six days left, there are already 7 bids. The price is up to $41.19 and sky’s the limit! Blake had better start negotiating better deals.
