Soulja Boy was arrested early Tuesday morning after an officer pulled over their
Escalade because a light on the vehicle was out.  Again, as always seems to
happen in these celebrity cases, as the officer approached, they could smell the
strong odor of marijuana.  During a search of the vehicle, officers found a
briefcase they believe belonged to the 21 year old rap star.  Inside they found
a "substantial amount" of weed and a firearm.  All five men were taken to a near
by police station and booked for marijuana possession and a gun charge.  The
guys all posted bond and were released.

Crystal Harris went ahead and did it.  She ended up selling the $90,000 diamond
engagement ring that Hugh Hefner had given her for a fraction of the original
selling price.  An unidentified buyer scooped up the 3.39 carat ring (with taxes
and fees) for a total of $47,500.  Which ended up being a pretty good price
because the auction house dealing with the sale thought the ring would fetch
only about $20 grand.

The path of destruction continues to follow Paul McCartney's ex, Heather Mills.
Mills is being sued by her former hair stylist, David Paul, who says Mills
stiffed him on his fees.  He says that starting in 2005, Mills often hired him
at his out-of-shop rate of $5,000-per-day.  He was supposed to help her in her
quest to become a celebrity in the U.S. The suit, filed in L.A. County Superior
Court, claims that Mills told him she couldn't afford to pay him up front, but
promised she'd deliver the green when McCartney gave her money. David claims
Mills used his services at least 20 times ... but never paid up, even after she
received a multi-million dollar divorce settlement from McCartney. avid says
Mills began to avoid him in 2008, after he made several requests for his
paychecks ... which totaled $80,000. He wants his cash and punitive damages.

The government-owned General Motors may soon be partnering with Hollywood to
encourage speeding, drunk driving, and general mayhem. Insiders tell Vulture.com
that the world's second-largest carmaker is in discussions about backing an
update of The Cannonball Run in a deal that would be much larger than your
average product placement. With this deal, a new "Run" could double as a big,
two-hour demonstration of GM's new cars. If the GM deal comes through, it’ll
show just how far product placement has come.
