Edward Furlong Pleads Not Guilty to Domestic Battery
Edward Furlong is terminating his image. The Terminator 2 star pled not guilty on Friday, April 26 to a domestic battery charge he received from attacking his girlfriend last year in October.
On October 30, 2012, Furlong and his girlfriend Monica Keena were at the Los Angeles International Airport where they got into a violent argument. When the argument got physical, Keena was left with visible marks on her arm.
A month later on November 21, he was arrested again for allegedly assaulting the same girlfriend. In January, E! reported that the 35 year-old was arrested for allegedly shoving the same girlfriend.
In March, Furlong was sentenced to 180 days in jail for two probation violations. One of them was for attacking his girlfriend. He has been released since then.
A trial date for the current charge has been set for June in Los Angeles.

Jenelle Evans Faces Serious Criminal Charges
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and her husband, Courtland Rodgers, were arrested in North Carolina on Tuesday, April 23 for an alleged heroin possession along with other illegal paraphernalia and for assault.
Cops responded to a call on an alleged domestic dispute when they discovered 12 bindles (small paper packets) of heroin in Evans possession. She is facing an assault charge because she hit her husband with a piece of furniture.
Cops say that Rodgers, 27, also had heroin in his possession with the intent to manufacture and sell. He is facing an assault charge as well because he hit Evans, 21, on the neck and with a closed fist on her head.
Dustin R.T. Sullivan, Evans lawyer, confirmed with E! that the married couple have been court ordered to stay away from each other. "The order to stay away was from yesterday. She was ordered to stay away from him and he is ordered to stay away as well."
If the couple violates this order, they both could face up to 30 days of jail time.
The 21 year-old mom had been hit with a warrant for failure to pay child support, but according to Sullivan, that had been taken cared of. "She paid her child support yesterday. It was about $360."
The reality star will have to attend a hearing for the drug charges in the Brunswick County District Court on May 14 and will go back to court on June 3 for the assault charges.
According to Sullivan, the couple can not have any communication with each other until the case is completely settled.

Reese Witherspoon Is "Deeply Embarrassed" Over Arrest
Red, white and blue doesn't always refer to the American flag. Oscar winner Laura Jeanne 'Reese' Witherspoon was arrested along with her husband, Jim Toth, on Friday, April 19. He was arrested for a DUI while she was arrested for disorderly conduct.
An officer pulled over the couple on Peachtree Road in Atlanta, GA after midnight when he noticed the 2013 Ford Fusion weaving into the opposite lane. The Walk the Line actress became rude while the officer was giving Toth a field sobriety test.
Variety (who broke the news first) obtained the police report. According to the police officer, Witherspoon, 37, hung out the window and started making rude comments towards him. "Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer. I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet."
After Toth, 41, was put in handcuffs, Witherspoon refused to listen and was in handcuffs shortly after. Her infamous, but now 'deeply embarrassing' remarks before she was arrested were if the officer knew who she was.
"Do you know my name? You're about to be on national news."
The mother of three issued an apology on Sunday, April 21 saying she was embarrassed. "I am deeply embarrassed... it was a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse."
The couple was booked at a nearby station and released on a bond at 3:30 am. They were scheduled to go to court, but asked for it to be postponed. They are now due back in court in one month on Wednesday, May 22.

Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Are Finally Divorced
Kim Kardashian looked very happy as she left the courthourse in Los Angeles on Friday, April 19. After a year and a half, the divorce was finalized.
The divorce battle began after the reality star and NBA player announced their split in October 2011. While Kardashian, 32, filed for a divorce, indicating irreconcilable differences. Humphries, 28, on the other hand filed for an annulment claiming that the marriage was a fraud used for Kardashian's reality show.
A source told Us Weekly they realized there was no fraud to begin with. "They realized there was no fraud and the judge urged Kris to settle. Finally it's over!"
Despite having requested $7 million, the Brooklyn Nets player is walking away penniless, according to TMZ. All hope is lost however. He doesn't have to pay any penalties for his no show at last week's divorce settlement.
What started off as a 72 day marriage ended in a 536 divorce battle. This divorce took much longer than their marriage.
Kardashian had hoped to be divorced before her July due date and she finally has her wish.

Reebok Drops Rick Ross For "U.O.E.N.O."
Reebok just recently let go of Rick Ross due to the release of his song "U.O.E.N.O." There were lyrics in the song that promoted date rape. "Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne. She ain't even know it. I took her home and enjoyed that. She ain't even know it."
The 37 year-old rapper issued an apology: "As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize."
Ross also pulled the song, but this wasn't enough for the shoe company. Rape survivors and women's groups protested (photo below) outside of the Reebok flagship store in Midtown Manhattan.
Reebok released a statement last week on Thursday on dropping Ross. "Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse."
Sources close to the rapper told TMZ that he stands to lose $3.5 million and $5 million. Talk about bags of money!
Let's hope he'll be 'painting' better pictures with future lyrics.
