This highly appropriate comment was posted anonymously after Jussie Smollett was sentenced to jail time- pretty much sums the situation up:
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what greed gets you. He wasn’t FAMOUS ENOUGH. He wanted more. And well, he sort of got it. Just not in the way he wanted. It’s almost like a “Twilight Zone” or “Black Mirror” episode if you really think about it.

Omigosh! The last time we saw Redmond O’Neal he was tall and skinny and had bright red hair (above with his father Ryan O’Neal in 2007.) Nowadays, he looks so different that if his mother Farrah Fawcett were alive, SHE might not recognize him. Redmond, 28, has spent most of his adult life either in jail or rehab for drugs and firearms charges. He finished his court ordered treatment in October and will be on probation for three more years. For the past 9 month he seems to have been behaving, but he looks like a different person. He shaved his head, packed on some poundage and got some new tattoos. Click HERE to see how he looks today.

Beautiful blonde Amy Locane appeared on the first season of Melrose Place in 1992 and her future seemed unlimited. But after a few movie (Cry Baby) and TV appearances, her career fizzled, and in 2008 she settled down in her home state, New Jersey, with a local businessman and volunteer fireman, Mark Bovenizer. They had two daughters and Amy was out of the limelight until 2010 when she had a horrible accident. Amy slammed her car into the passenger side of a vehicle turning into a driveway. She killed a woman and injured the woman’s husband. She was arrested for driving under the influence and could have gotten ten years in jail. The judge just sentenced her to three years, citing that her absence was a hardship for her young children, one of whom is mentally disabled. The victim’s family was distraught. How do you feel about the judge’s decision? (Above, Amy now and then)
Again Lindsay Lohan can laugh in the face of the law – although she was sentenced to 30 days for violating probation after shoplifting. Due to overcrowding in the Los Angeles prison system, she’ll be released in a matter of minutes and won’t even see he inside of a cell. To top it off, the judge kindly allowed her a week to surrender so she can complete her million dollar photo layout for Playboy. Too bad she can’t be FINED as punishment instead of given jail time she’ll never serve – cutting into her shopping might finally get her attention.
Amy Winehouse’s exhusband Blake Fielder-Civil is probably regretting the fact that he requested no money in their 2009 divorce settlement. Living in reduced circumstances apparently doesn’t agree with him, because he was just arrested with a fake gun and $4000 worth of stolen electronics in his rented car. The loot came from a home that was burglarized while the occupants were out. To no one’s surprise, he also tested positive for drugs. So Blake is back is the pokey, where he spent most of his marriage.
Other prisoners are supposedly “in awe” of OJ Simpson at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada, but he doesn’t ALWAYS get what he wants. Sources say a group of gay prisoners nicknamed “The Girls” cater to the killer and gIve him massages whenever he’s in the mood. Recently OJ filed a request with the warden and asked to be allowed to watch both Monday night football games on TV after lights out “because he still holds the record for most yards gained in a season opener and it’s special to him.” Warden’s response: DENIED.

When Phil Spector had to check his wig at the jail entrance and Paris Hilton had to surrender her hair extensions, we figured Lindsay Lohan would be forced to give up her fake hair when she checked into jail. She DIDN’T, and jail officials were accused of giving her preferential treatment. Jailers responded that Lindsay‘s extensions were permanently attached to the roots of her hair while Paris’s extensions were clip-ons (her own brand DreamCatchers) and Spector’s hair was not attached to his head either. And we were SO looking forward to seeing Lindsay’s natural hair….. Apparently eyelash extensions are not an issue in jail.

We can’t stop wondering about what will happen to Lindsay Lohan’s extensions now that she’s going to jail. Like Phil Spector, Lindsay has to surrender all fake hair at the door. Will she wear clip-on extensions for her heavily photographed jail arrival and check them with her wallet and other personal items? Or will she have them removed ahead of time and be photographed going to jail without her hair? And what about the eyelash extensions?
