afternoon headlines

T.I. – sentenced today to 366 days in jail for possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers by a convicted felon.  It's part of a plea deal that includes 1,500 hours of community service and a $100,000 fine, but also makes him eligible for early release.  Then his prison will be his loneliness.  The rap world doesn't take kindly to lawbreakers.

JESSICA BIEL  – she’s dated Justin Timberlake for two years, but he's a jackass so, “They’ve been fighting lately.  Justin has always loved women – singing about them, looking at them, flirting with them. He can’t help it!”  This is why I don’t listen to rock and roll.   It’s the front door to sex. (OK!)

NADINE VELAZQUEZ – the “My Name Is Earl” star was announced today as co-host of the 2009 Miss USA pageant, to be held in Las Vegas in two weeks.  By itself, that’s not news, but Nadine is the girl in the picture above, and she can do this.  And that should be the worlds headline even if the sun blows up later today.  (image source = splash)
