Da Brat Is Da Gone

It's jail for Da Brat. You remember last year when she hit a waitress with a rum bottle because the waitress wasn't attracted to her? Well, Da Brat plead guilty to aggravated assault yesterday and was sentenced to three years in jail, seven years of probation, and just for good measure 200 hours of community service.

This to me, is one of the worst deals I have seen in a really long time. She plead guilty to this. This was her deal. This was the best she could get? Oh, and don't forget the lawsuit the waitress filed against Da Brat and also against the club which is owned by Jermaine Dupri.

Now, even though the waitress worked for the club and was bleeding and in serious trouble that night, the club refused to kick out Da Brat.

Wow. This is the longest sentence I have seen for something like this in a long time. I am all for celebrities standing up and taking their punishment, and I think Da Brat should be praised for that at least, but it seems excessive. You are basically talking ten years and ten million dollars or so. People who murder people don't always serve that much time.

I know, I know, I am usually really strong for victims, and I am here as well. I mean, the waitress was an aspiring actress and is permanently scarred on her face. Got it, but it just seems excessive. Maybe I am just being more lenient because it is Friday.

Da Brat Lucky She Is Not Facing Murder Charges

In what could have been much worse, Da Brat (Shawntae Harris) was arrested in Atlanta at a nightclub owned by Jermaine Dupri and charged with aggravated assault.

Officers arrived at Studio 72 at about 1:20am responding to a call about a "pushing incident."

The police report indicates Harris and a 24-year-old waitress at the club got into a squabble after the waitress bumped into her. At some point, the waitress walked away and moments later was hit in the face with the bottle of rum.

The report said the waitress, who sustained a deep laceration to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, was driven to a hospital by a friend.

If the bottle had been just a little heavier, or hit an inch or two the other way, it is possible that the waitress could have been killed. It is unclear why Harris and the waitress were arguing, but one witness said it may have been that the waitress rejected Harris' advances and Harris became upset.

Harris was the first female rapper to have a platinum-selling album.

She has appeared on VH1 reality shows Celebrity Fit Club and The Surreal Life.

Celebrity Fit Club is one of the few shows on television that I make a point to watch. I do this because I get a sick thrill of seeing all the F and G listers that I once represented and how their careers are in the toilet, thanks to my great representation. I also enjoy watching people that are fatter than me and how some think they are divas. Not counting Ant of course, because Ant is a diva.

Well it turns out this season of CFC is full of fights, dildos, Screech and Marcia Brady, not to mention Tiffany who once let me...(well twice, but it was not good for her either time. I really think I could have gone for three, but she was getting really annoyed that I kept humming her songs and asking her if she thought we were alone now.) and also Ant getting into a fight with Dr. Ian. It makes me wish for the calmer episodes with a Baldwin or the Snapple Lady. I guess Screech is running around with a video camera begging Marcia to sleep with him or da Brat or Tiffany or if all else fails, even Ant or Ross the Intern. Basically Screech is up for anything with anyone as long as his career continues for another six months. Kimberly Locke is going to be on there. I guess she must have started packing on the pounds after Clay Aiken moved out. Those breakups are tough. As usual there are some people on there that I really could care less about at first, but I will no doubt get sucked into their lives and whatever. Naaaah. It sounds good, but I am sure they will be boring.

I do also like to kiss VH1's ass because if you do it well enough they link you to The Best Week Ever and then some H lister will talk about you on television. Not that kind of H lister, although at least they would be famous for something.
