Brooke Mueller Strikes a Plea Deal Over Drug Charges, Avoids Jail Time
Crime may not pay, but for Brooke Mueller it also doesn't seem to cost her all that much.
Sources confirm to E! News that Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has successfully struck up a plea deal with the district attorney over last year's felony drug possession, intent to distribute and misdemeanor assault case, for which she will serve (ready for this?) not one day in jail.
So what will happen?

Teen Mom's Amber Portwood Denies Missing Drug Test and Violating Probation
Amber Portwood may be in trouble again, this time for failing to take a mandatory daily drug test that was a condition of her probation in her December drug arrest, according to various media accounts.
If true, not only would it put her at risk of being sent to the slammer, but she'd also leave behind 2-year-old daughter Leah for the foreseeable future.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Portwood vehemently denies the allegations.
Nick Stahl Pays the Price for Stiffing Cabbie—but Did He Really Do Jail Time?
Nick Stahl might want to check his wallet the next time he calls a car service.
E! News has learned the Terminator 3 and Sin City star has been charged with defrauding a taxi operator resulting from his arrest back on Jan. 27 when he hired a car to take him on a long trip to Hollywood, but couldn't come up with enough cash or credit to pay the $84 fare.
Hasta la vista, Nicky…to jail?
Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's Bling Ring Burglar Cops Plea, Gets Jail
Commit the crime and do the time.
Nicholas Prugo, one of the members of the infamous Bling Ring that burglarized a host of celeb residences in the Hollywood Hills three years ago before L.A.'s Finest got the bead on them, just learned that the hard way after pleading no contest today to swiping luxury goods from Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge.
And now he's going straight to jail.
Conrad Murray "Not Doing Well" in Jail, but Bail Request Still Denied
It still sucks to be Conrad Murray.
Moments after a Los Angeles judge turned down a request by Michael Jackson's incarcerated physician to release him on bail, his attorney told E! News that the cardiologist is "not doing well" and then immediately pulled the Whitney Houston card.

Big Win for Teen Mom's Amber Portwood: The Show Can Go On!
Amber Portwood's livelihood lives on.
The Teen Mom star, provided she passes a drug screening, will be allowed to live with her grandparents full-time rather than move into a halfway house, as a judge previously ordered.
"Amber is so happy and relieved that she won't have to live at the halfway house," her mother, Tonya Portwood, told E! News Thursday. "And now she will get to spend more time with her daughter, which is what this was all about anyway."
But that's not the only benefit, of course.
Jackass Bam Margera Jailed for Impromptu Mardi Gras Swim
As Jackass stunts go, this one sounds rather tame.
Even so, Bam Margera ended up spending the night in a New Orleans jail for partying in a pool.
Here's what happened...

Would Teen Mom's Amber Portwood Prefer Jail to a Halfway House If It Meant Staying on TV?
Maybe being on television is the real drug in this case.
Amber Portwood, who is supposed to be released from jail into the care of a halfway house this week after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance, has considered changing her plea so that she can continue shooting Teen Mom as much as possible, sources exclusively tell E! News.
It's not as if she wants to be in jail for five years, of course. Portwood's attorney says that it's "not true" that his client would prefer to change her plea and do jail time.
But it is true that the drug court that's allowing Portwood to rehabilitate at the halfway house has ordered the facility not to allow a camera crew inside, and we hear that's got the single mom on edge.
Griffin O'Neal Sentenced to Prison Time for DUI Crash
Griffin O'Neal had to face the music eventually.
The eldest son of Ryan O'Neal was sentenced to 16 months in prison today for a DUI crash last summer that left the other driver injured.
After pleading guilty to two felony counts of driving under influence of drugs and possession of a firearm by a felon (there was a gun in the car) in November, he missed his initial sentencing hearing last month.
How did he escape punishment for that one?
UPDATE!
