Arvel Jett Reeves was sentenced to 8 months in prison on Monday for secretly taping pop star Michael Jackson as he traveled to Santa Barbara to surrender in a child molestation investigation.
In addition to prison time, Reeves was ordered to pay 1,000 dollars in damages and ordered to complete a six month stint in a halfway house that offers drug and rehabilitation programs. Reeves co-defendant, Jeffrey Borer, and Reeves himself admitted installing two digital video recorders to videotape Jackson and his laywer as they flew on a private jet in November 2003.
While not cited by name in Reeves and Borer’s plea agreements, the tapes were of Michael Jackson and his attorney, Mark Geragos. Jackson was eventually acquitted of all charges stemming from the child molestation case.
Borer said he had intended to “sell these recordings to the media” for a large sum of money.”
You know that saying, money is the root of all evil? It needs to be changed to greed of money is the root of all evil!

Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gylldenhaal were out and about together on Saturday enjoying the nice weather. The good news is that they look really happy. The bad news, unfortunately, has three parts:
1. Even Jake Gyllenhaal can’t pull off the “my pants are half off and I’m wearing very functional underwear” look.
2. It’s summer, Kirsten. Why are you wearing grubby looking grey socks with a manly blazer and loafers? One or two elements stolen from a guy’s wardrobe can be cute, but this look is just plain gloomy.
3. Jake may or may not be about to spill their coffee.
Also notable: As cheerful as Kirsten seems to be in these photos, she can apparently get a little snappy. According to the New York Daily News via MSN, Dunst “seemed to be in a mood” recently during at night out at Hyde, an L.A hotspot. Dunst reportedly turned to a woman nearby, a stranger, and said “Your face looks really puffy.” Nice. Now that’s the kind of girl I want to go clubbing with.
Thanks to kirsten-dunst.org for the photos.
Janet Jackson, whose upcoming album 20 Years Old is slated for release September 26, has apparently changed her mind about children.
“I would love to have kids,” Jackson, 40, reported on Friday during an Atlanta news conference. Apparently, her relationship with producer boyfriend Jermaine Dupri has prompted her to rethink her ideas about raising children.
“I never thought I would ever want any, but being with Jermaine really changed my mind on all that,” Jackson said. “I wouldn’t mind adopting.”
While Jackson’s first two marriages failed, she seems confident about her relationship with Dupri. “I’ve always wanted to find love. Now that I found love, I’m in a different space,” Jackson professes.
While the pop star seems to have a family-friendly attitude about her now, her upcoming album still has the same sexually-charged lyrics you can find on her previous work.
“I enjoy talking about it, it shouldn’t be any different than before.” Well, I think we know where Janet stands!

On August 20th, Kevin Federline will get the chance to show his music to the world. He will be at the Teen Choice Awards where he will close the ceremony with his single “Lose Control” from the impending album Playing with Fire.
Federline, an aspiring rapper and husband to Britney Spears, says the audience will be “shocked” by his performance. “It’s been building up for a long time… so I decided to just get out there and jump on stage,” he says.
Britney Spears will reportedly accompany her husband to the event provided she is feeling well enough. They’ve also been collaborating on a duet in the studio in recent months.
“I want to prove myself as an artist, as a rapper, and as a human being in society who goes through everything everybody else goes through,” Federline reported.
