“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Alexa Curtin was sentenced to jail after she pleaded guilty in court.

The Blast reported, she had been fugitive for a almost a year before finally appearing in court last week.

Via The Blast:

According to court records, obtained by The Blast, Alexa Curtin appeared in an Orange County court last week, and pled guilty to a long list of criminal counts of possession of a controlled substance and substance paraphernalia, driving under the influence, driving without a valid license, vandalism, and petty theft.

In many criminal cases, especially with overcrowded jails, some defendants who are sentenced to jail time can get “time served” and get released the same day they are sentenced (depending on the crime they have pled guilty to). In Alexa Curtin’s case, she had served jail time before her sentencing hearing, and records show she was released the same day she was sentenced. Alexa had five separate criminal cases before a judge and she was sentenced in four of the five of the cases on one day. One tiny victory for the reality star was that a case for possession of a controlled substance was thrown out.

Alexa had previously pled guilty to counts of petty theft and battery from a criminal case filed against her back in 2016, and she was facing a probation violation for that prior criminal case. She was sentenced to 68 days in jail for that case, and court records show that her probation has ended for that particular case. Alexa could have faced serious jail time with her lengthy criminal history and being in violation of her probation. Alexa is not getting a free pass per say, but her sentence could have been a lot worse for the reality star. Some judges will sentence multiple offenders to original sentences when they violate probation.

s we previously reported, Alexa Curtin not only faced legal trouble for her drug issues, her marriage also ended in the process. After six years of marriage, Alexa filed for divorce from her estranged husband Michael DeVecchio. In other ‘RHOC’ drama, it has been reported that Alexa’s mom, Lynne Curtin had been served with an eviction notice for her rental property, and Alexa and her sister Raquel broke the news to their famous mom while filming their reality show!

Alexa was sentenced to period of three years, 68 days in jail, a three-month first offender alcohol program and resolution for damages.

Morgan Wallen appeared to dropped the N-word outside his Nashville home and then afterwards apologizing.

TMZ posted the video on Tuesday as they pointed out the country star and a group of buddies had just spent a night out in Nashville. When they arrived at Morgan’s home at around midnight, they were extremely loud … honking horns and talking loudly…loud enough to upset the neighbors.

Via TMZ:

As Morgan appears to stumble toward his house, he tells someone to watch over a guy in his group. He says … “take care of” this “p**** ass mother******” – and then goes on to say, “take care of this p**** ass n*****” … before finally heading in.

The video (above) was recorded Monday morning – again by the same neighbor … more clearly showing Morgan as he left his home with a friend.

The apology to TMZ:

“I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”

Somewhere Elon Musk ain’t happy after testing went wrong.

On Tuesday a SpaceX starship exploded after a test flight crash landing went down into fire explosion.

Via NY Post:

The rocket launched at around 3:30 p.m. and flew as high as 10 kilometers, or about 32,800 feet altitude, before turning to a horizontal “belly flop” position and performing a series of maneuvers.

It then attempted to land upright, but appeared to come in too fast and at a bad angle, according to the footage.

The flight ended in a deafening crash, sparking a fiery explosion that sent up a cloud of dust and flames.

The explosion was similar to one in December, when the company’s SN8 rocket was destroyed.

Both are prototypes being developed by CEO Elon Musk’s space company in the hopes they’ll one day carry humans on missions to the moon and Mars.

Musk was uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter during Tuesday’s flight, having announced the night before that he was taking a break from the social media platform.

The tech billionaire had tweeted throughout the December flight, including to say that mission was largely a success despite the crash landing.

SpaceX didn’t immediately respond for a request for comment by New York Post.

Jeff Bezos is stepping down as the CEO of Amazon while transitioning to a executive chair of the Amazon Board in Q3.

Replacing Jeff is the new CEO will be Andy Jassy, who currently serves as CEO of Amazon services of (AWS).

Via CNBC:

I’m excited to announce that this Q3 I’ll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO,” Bezos said in a letter to employees. “In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives. Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have. He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence.”

Bezos said he will stay engaged in important Amazon projects but will also have more time to focus on the Bezos Earth Fund, his Blue Origin spaceship company, The Washington Post and the Amazon Day 1 Fund.

Fellow Amazonians:

I’m excited to announce that this Q3 I’ll transition to Executive Chair of the Amazon Board and Andy Jassy will become CEO. In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives. Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have. He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence.

This journey began some 27 years ago. Amazon was only an idea, and it had no name. The question I was asked most frequently at that time was, “What’s the internet?” Blessedly, I haven’t had to explain that in a long while.

Today, we employ 1.3 million talented, dedicated people, serve hundreds of millions of customers and businesses, and are widely recognized as one of the most successful companies in the world.

How did that happen? Invention. Invention is the root of our success. We’ve done crazy things together, and then made them normal. We pioneered customer reviews, 1-Click, personalized recommendations, Prime’s insanely-fast shipping, Just Walk Out shopping, the Climate Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, marketplace, infrastructure cloud computing, Career Choice, and much more. If you get it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. And that yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive.

I don’t know of another company with an invention track record as good as Amazon’s, and I believe we are at our most inventive right now. I hope you are as proud of our inventiveness as I am. I think you should be.

As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and the Climate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.

I find my work meaningful and fun. I get to work with the smartest, most talented, most ingenious teammates. When times have been good, you’ve been humble. When times have been tough, you’ve been strong and supportive, and we’ve made each other laugh. It is a joy to work on this team.

As much as I still tap dance into the office, I’m excited about this transition. Millions of customers depend on us for our services, and more than a million employees depend on us for their livelihoods. Being the CEO of Amazon is a deep responsibility, and it’s consuming. When you have a responsibility like that, it’s hard to put attention on anything else. As Exec Chair I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions. I’ve never had more energy, and this isn’t about retiring. I’m super passionate about the impact I think these organizations can have.

Amazon couldn’t be better positioned for the future. We are firing on all cylinders, just as the world needs us to. We have things in the pipeline that will continue to astonish. We serve individuals and enterprises, and we’ve pioneered two complete industries and a whole new class of devices. We are leaders in areas as varied as machine learning and logistics, and if an Amazonian’s idea requires yet another new institutional skill, we’re flexible enough and patient enough to learn it.

Keep inventing, and don’t despair when at first the idea looks crazy. Remember to wander. Let curiosity be your compass. It remains Day 1.

Armie Hammer out.

Josh Duhamel in.

Lionsgate announced on Tuesday that Josh is officially starring in J Lo’s “Shotgun Wedding” movie H/T ET.

Via ET:

“We couldn’t be happier for our bride and groom of this Shotgun Wedding,” Erin Westerman, president of production for the Lionsgate Motion Pictures Group, said in a press release. “We know Josh and Jennifer will make a compelling and sexy on-screen couple and they will be fun sparring partners as their dream destination wedding erupts into a memorable nightmare.”

In addition to Duhamel’s casting news, Lionsgate announced that Sonia Braga will play Lopez’s character’s mother, with Jennifer Coolidge playing Duhamel’s character’s mom.

“We are also thrilled to bring Jennifer and Sonia on to our cast as Mothers of the Bride and Groom,” Westerman said. “Their acting and comedic talents will add another fun layer to this already-rich action-comedy.”

The film centers on a couple who gather their very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding just as the pair begins to get cold feet.

Hammer was originally cast in the rom-com, but announced in January that he decided to step down from the role after private messages that appeared to be written by him went viral. In the alleged DMs –which have not been confirmed were authored by Hammer – graphic sexual fantasies are described, some with references to cannibalism.

In a statement to ET about the scandal, Hammer said, “I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”

A production spokesman for the film also told ET in a statement, “Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision.”

Meanwhile, a source recently told ET that Hammer’s social media scandal has left his ex, Elizabeth Chambers, stunned. The two split in July after 10 years of marriage and share two children – 6-year-old daughter Harper and 4-year-old son Ford.

“Her first priority, as always, are their children and trying to protect them from this news and make sure that they feel safe and secure,” the source continued. “She does not want them to be traumatized by everything going on.”

In a statement posted to Instagram on Monday, Chambers wrote that she’s “been trying to process everything that has transpired.”

“I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know,” she wrote. “I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal.”

“My sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on my work and on healing during this incredibly difficult time,” she wrote. “Thank you for all of the love and support, and thank you in advance for your continued kindness, respect, and consideration for our children and me as we find ways to move forward.”

Good luck, Josh.

The Pitch Perfect star went public with her relationship with Busch, 29, in September by sharing a sweet photo of the two boarding a helicopter alongside Helen Mirren and Kate Beckinsale. The couple made their red carpet debut shortly after when they attended the Monte-Carlo Gala For Planetary Health in Monaco.

“This is the first guy she’s met who is a match for her humor and personality. Someone who has his own life and success and isn’t intimidated by her,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “He’s entrepreneurial and they’re both very business-minded.”

The former couple frequently shared updates of their romance on social media, enjoying vacations in Mexico and Aspen where they enjoyed skiing.

Rebel took to Instagram before the split writing, “Lots on my mind…aghhhhhh…#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!”

Mike Lindell got a strike 1 now hit with strike 2 with a full ban on Twitter here’s why.

Per New York Post the My Pillow CEO got banned from the social media after he used to circumvent it’s own who was perinatally suspended after the bogus election fraud claims.

Via NY Post:

“Thank you to everyone who has supported MyPillow during this time…..Jack Dorsey is trying to cancel me (Mike Lindell) out!” the company tweeted Sunday, referring to Twitter’s chief executive.

“We are extremely busy and hiring as fast as we can to handle all the shipping!” the post added. “Jack will be found out and should be put in prison when all is revealed!”

The My Pillow account also promoted Lindell’s Monday appearance on a radio show where he planned to discuss his bogus conspiracy theory about voting machines being tampered with to sway the 2020 election in President Biden’s favor, according to screenshots captured by another Twitter user.

My Pillow did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday, but Lindell condemned Twitter’s decision in an interview with USA Today.

“I can’t believe they’re doing this to my company,” he told the outlet. “They’re out to destroy me.”

Lindell — a staunch ally of ex-president Donald Trump — spread baseless election fraud rumors on his own Twitter account as well as My Pillow’s before Twitter permanently suspended him for violating its civic integrity policy.

Dominion Voting Systems has threatened Lindell with a lawsuit for falsely accusing the company of “stealing millions of votes.”

Per USA Today My Pillow had also used its account to promote products with a memoir, “What Are the Odds.” The account had about 41,700 followers.

Captain Sir Thomas Moore who raised millions for U.K. coronavirus battle has died from the disease.

He was 100.

His Twitter account confirmed his death Tuesday with a photo of “1920-2021.”

As People noted it Moore’s death comes after he was hospitalized with pneumonia in Bedford, England on Sunday.

Via People:

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, “The Queen is sending a private message of condolence to the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore. Her Majesty very much enjoyed meeting Cpt Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Her thoughts, and those of the Royal Family, are with them, recognising the inspiration he provided for the whole nation and others across the world.”

Moore was once called “a beacon of light through the fog of coronavirus” by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

It was in April 2020 that Moore, at 99 years of age, set out to walk 100 laps around his garden with the aid of a walker weeks before his 100th birthday to raise funds for the U.K.’s National Health Service.

His goal was to give back to healthcare staffers amid the crisis, as two years earlier, he’d received care from them after slipping and fracturing his hip, and was “eternally grateful” for their work, according to The Captain Tom Foundation.

He hoped to raise the equivalent of about $1,400 — and instead pulled in more than $45 million, according to ABC News.

The impressive act even inspired 125,000 people to send Moore cards in celebration of his birthday later that month. The letters came from all over the globe, and included messages from Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and Kate Middleton, former Olympian Kelly Holmes and English football star Harry Kane.

CNN reported his wife Pamela died in 2006, Moore moved in with his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore, her husband and their two children in Bedfordshire.
