He got a community service order and five years supervised probation as well as being told to stay away from Rihanna.The singer was allegedly due to take the stage at the BET Awards ceremony in Los Angeles California.

DEBORAH GIBSON ON PAL MICHAEL JACKSON

**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP TALKS TO DEBORAH GIBSON ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON **** Deborah Gibson With Michael Jackson We here at Times Square Gossip are big Deborah Gibson fans ... always have been! So, when we asked the original American idol what she thought of Michael’s passing, she gave us this reply: I have always been and will always be a fan of Michael Jackson. I remember asking my parents to buy me the red jacket with glove and sunglasses, which I still have today. He influenced my life, from his music to the way he danced and performed. Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I met Michael and he told me he had just watched a Disney special I did. I was blown away by the thought of The one and only Michael Jackson sitting there watching me on TV. He then invited me to be in his "Liberian Girl" video. I actually was one of the few who got to sing a little snippet live over his vocal. To say it was an honor is an understa...

MELONI AND HARGITAY SIGN NEW CONTRACT

Image
Mariska Hargitay Law And Order: SVU stars Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay have finally ended their months-long contract disagreement with television bosses, after signing two-year deals to remain on the hit show. The couple reportedly jeopardized their return to the show by demanding more money from network bosses. Hargitay and Meloni allegedly asked for a share of the program's profits from the NBC network, in addition to the $350,000 they earned per episode, a rare deal similar to ones TV bosses cut with "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Chris Noth. Media reports in April suggested bosses had threatened to can the couple when their contracts expire in May if an agreement could not be reached, but they have agreed to a new two-year deal. "Law and Order: SVU" has been on the air for 11 years. Photos By: RD/Leon/ Roe / Retna Digital.

**** In this weeks Steppin Out Magazine, Denise Richards sits down with Chaunce Hayden and advices Jon and Kate on dealing with bad press... Richards also talks about her boobs and why bigger isn't always better.....plus, how she dates and how she really feels about Heather Locklear. **** Denise Richards In Steppin Out Magazine DENISE RICHARDS ON "JON AND KATE" AND DEALING WITH THE BAD PRESS: I think my show is so different from their show. I got a lot of flack the first season about my kids being on the show, but that was partly because my ex-husband [Charlie Sheen] wasn’t happy about it. With Jon and Kate, it’s honestly none of my business. I don’t know what’s going on with them. I feel for them because to be thrown into the spotlight is very difficult to deal with. Although, I can relate to bad press. What helped me get through it was truly not reading anything. It’s an awful thing to deal with. So, I just put myself in a bubble. I wouldn’t read anything, and I didn’t ...
