Happy Friday and away I go. Yeah I know I promised more updates this week, but my computer got fried this week, so I purchased a new one, and it kicks ass might I say.
The girl who played Hilary Duff’s BFF on the hit show “Lizzie McGuire” pled guilty to possession of crystal meth last year — but managed to keep the whole thing under wraps. Lalaine Vergara Paras, who played Miranda Sanchez on the Disney Channel show, was arrested back in July and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine. But before the plea there was lots of drama. Paras was a no-show for a court appearance and the judge issued a $50,000 bench warrant for her arrest — but it was recalled when she showed up in February. Paras pled guilty to the crystal meth charge, but her record will be expunged when she completes a drug-treatment program. She’s enrolled in the Asian American Drug Abuse Program. So whats the deal with the Meth. Fergie, Stephanie Tanner, and now Miranda from Lizzie McGuire? What gives?

The New York Times says Fallon will probably start his new gig in February 2009 when O’Brien leaves for a six-month hiatus before he replaces Leno. Hum, I reported that months ago…Lame
2 more and then, oh you know the rest. Tom Cruise is set to return to Oprah Winfrey’s sofa for the first time since his famous couch-jumping proclamation of love to then-fiancee Katie Holmes. The smitten star made a spectacle of himself with his loved-up antics on the talk show in 2005. Cruise will appear on a May episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. They might need 2 couches this time.

And finally, A “very sorry” Wesley Snipes, star of the “Blade” movies, was sentenced to three years in prison on Thursday for willfully failing to file U.S. income tax returns for 1999 through 2001. Snipes was convicted in February on three misdemeanor counts. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges handed down the maximum sentence and said he felt it was important to create a general deterrent against tax defiance. ”I am very sorry for my mistakes and errors,” Snipes told the judge. “This will never happen again.” He read a prepared statement, describing himself as an “idealist, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritual-seeking artist” who epitomized the expression “mo’ money, mo’ problems.” Well at least I hope his 3 years is around 1000 days like it should be. I mean Christ, I pay taxes.
