BOY BAND CON ARTIST ALSO A TATTLETALE "While waiting to find out his legal fate last year in Orange County, [Lou] Pearlman listened in on another inmate's chat and put together a dossier that implicated the inmate, Davin Smith, in a cop killing. … Pearlman took detailed notes and even drew diagrams that could be 'useful' in the cops' investigation of Smith."
American hero Nick Hogan, who has been forced to endure the horrible process of paying for his mistakes, has some good news coming his way: He will celebrate his 18th birthday this weekend. Unfortunately, the party will be held behind bars, but Nick will get a change of scenery: He's moving to an adult facility!
It's an open dormitory type of setting where he'll be in close contact with other adult inmates. The inmates are either awaiting sentencing or have already been sentenced in cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.
We're sure he'll be getting quite a few birthday presents from the other inmates.

Khloe Kardashian's stint in jail came and went yesterday as the famewhore served 173 minutes of her original 30-day sentence. But before you start to think she had it easy, listen to these horrors she endured while serving her time: A woman on her bus suffered a seizure, her building was on lockdown after receiving a bomb threat, and the guards wouldn't give Khloe a blanket even though she was cold.
The worst part? She didn't even get to wear a cute orange jumpsuit — she was in and out so quickly she didn't have time to change clothes. Oh, the humanity!
Look for Khloe's tearful post-jail interview this week on Larry King Live.
LET'S MAKE A DEAL "Accused con artist Raffaello Follieri could be getting ready to cut his losses and make a deal with prosecutors. … Assistant US Attorney Reed Brodsky has estimated Follieri would likely spend up to nine years behind bars if a jury convicts him of wire fraud and money laundering. A deal to plead guilty could land him a reduced sentencing range of five to six and a half years."
THREE WHOLE DAYS "Khloe Kardashian, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, has been sentenced to three days in Los Angeles County jail for violating probation following a DUI arrest."
This might be interesting had Paris Hilton not already done it first: Khloe Kardashian will report to jail Friday to serve her 30-day sentence for DUI. You remember her DUI arrest, right? It was reenacted for an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Oh, I was the only one who watched it?
Anyhoo, the judge has decided to "make an example out of her," but she will likely only serve less than one day of her 30-day sentence. Apparently even being a D-lister's sibling is enough to get you the celebrity justice treatment.

I guess I don't really understand how the prison system works, especially overseas, because I have a few questions spurred by this weekend's latest Amy Winehouse drama. Her husband, the lovely Blake Incarcerated, was caught (complete with photographic evidence) taking heroin in his London prison cell. Surprising, no? I really thought he was getting his act together.
So maybe this is naive of me, but why is he consistently able to get his grubby hands on illegal substances while being locked away in a prison cell? And who is this person taking the pictures? Do they allow cameras behind bars? And who is paying all of this money for exclusive photos of anyone Amy Winehouse-related taking drugs? Is this really breaking news?

Amy Winehouse is out of the hospital and free to roam the streets as she pleases, which is the good news (for her). The bad news is her husband, Blake Incarcerated, has been having a raunchy pen pal affair with a fellow inmate who recently recovered from her heroin addiction. We have a feeling it's about to start back up.
The letters have been released to the media, and they're a good read if you enjoy deciphering crack talk. Some of the highlights include when he admits he and Amy opened up their relationship because she's been sleeping around and all he wants is a "loyal sweet, staunch, slutty girlfriend." Oh, and when the two pen pals finally meet up, he plans to choke her as she is performing special "favors" for him. Who says chivalry is dead?
After the jump: More incoherent ramblings, including discussion of Amy's interest in a threesome. CONTINUED »
Well, it took more than a decade, but the US justice system finally caught up with Jacob Arabo, the greasy jeweler rappers shout out more than Jesus. Who could have guessed that business dealings with an organization called the Black Mafia Family might lead to prison time?
It’s not that Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri is a con artist. It’s that he’s a bad con-artist. How to tell? He was arrested! That’s sort of the biggest criteria for finding out if a con artist is bad at his game. The second piece of criteria? Going to prison, which is where it sounds like he’s headed.
OF COURSE SHE WON'T BE CHARGED "London police have arrested two people — John Blagrove and Cara Burton — suspected of supplying drugs to Amy Winehouse. … Police have said Winehouse will not be charged in that case."
For all the negative publicity Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Incarcerated, receives, the guy actually has a good idea from time to time. This week, he tried to hire someone from inside prison to kill Pete Doherty after seeing a picture of him with Amy and assuming the two were doing drugs and sleeping together (of course they are). He approached an ex-bouncer who may or may not have been involved in murder before and who spoke to The Sun about the encounter:
We were sitting in my cell and he said, ‘If you get Doherty for me I’ll give you £20,000.’ He kept saying, ‘Can you arrange it?’ and telling me to get some guys to his house. He knew the address. He said, ‘Amy’s obviously sleeping with him.’
He knew I used to be a doorman and knew some tough people. He said he wanted him smashed to pieces.
Can someone remind us again how Blake landed in prison for all these months, yet Amy — who can now add "racist" to her resume — is still roaming the streets after continually demonstrating that she is a threat to herself and others?

Hulk Hogan took to
All that whining finally paid off: Nick Hogan has been transferred out of solitary confinement and is now in a communal cell with three other juvenile inmates. Unfortunately, he wasn't released from jail and he still hasn't won his lawsuit against the sheriff's office for releasing his phone conversations, so prepare for even more whining from the family as they discuss how terribly difficult this whole situation is on them via telephone.

The Hogans have been keeping us busy lately, and, true to form, today has not been lacking in absurdity. The family filed a civil lawsuit against Pinellas County Sheriff Jim Coats for placing Nick in solitary confinement, but another legal battle involves the public release of phone calls from the jail, which is causing Nick "extreme emotional distress."
Surely the maternal Linda Hogan can help us make sense of all this. Why wouldn't the press be sympathetic to the family's plight? In a jailhouse phone call made public, she explained to Nick the ways of the world: "Everything's public record. Is nothing sacred anymore? Everyone's out for the money."
Well, she would know.

MORE HOGAN NEWS "A judge has just denied [Nick Hogan's] request to be released til his 18th birthday. For now, Nicky Boy will stay put in the Pinellas County, Fla. jail."
The Hogans seriously need to cool it on the bad publicity, because it's not doing the family any favors. The latest drama: That loser Linda was grinding in Vegas is actually 19 years old and has been a longtime friend of Nick. Speaking of our favorite jailbird, the family is trying to stop the release of Nick's recorded pathetic phone calls from jail, claiming a violation of privacy. Except a recorded voice comes on the line during each call to remind everyone that the call is being recorded. Nice try, losers.

All that time in solitary confinement seems to have worked wonders for Nick Hogan, who has absolutely nothing to do all day but sit and think. He's obviously been contemplating puppies and what he had for lunch that day instead of why he's actually in prison in the first place, because his response to the civil lawsuit filed against his family is one of the most absurd things we've heard in a while.
Nick blames virtually every person on the planet — including John himself and Daniel Jacobs, the guy whom he drag-raced to cause the crash in the first place — but doesn't take a shred of responsibility of his own.
Let's just list the ways that Nick says John put himself in danger: Not wearing a seatbelt, not getting out of the car, getting into the car in the first place. And one last thing: Being friends with Nick to begin with.
