Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has just pled guilty to one felony count of evading cops in that crazy chase last July.
You'll recall the former UFC champ crashed into cars and almost hit pedestrians before cops hauled his butt out of his monster truck -- at gunpoint. The best part -- Jackson was trying to escape in a vehicle that had a huge pic of him emblazoned on the side.
Based on the plea agreement, Jackson could get 6 months in jail. He'll also have to complete 200 hours of community service -- hopefully, they'll keep him off the freeway.

One of the chicks from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is raising hell over her multi-million dollar divorce settlement -- claiming she needs more cash to compensate for her total lack of brain power.
Sheree Whitfield -- who was married to former NFL lineman Bob Whitfield -- just filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court. According to a court spokesperson, Sheree's lawyers argued she was wrongly denied alimony -- and needs it because she lacks the education and skill set to make good money on her own.
Under the original settlement agreement, Whitfield received a $775,000 lump sum, more than $1.1 million in marital property, a portion of Bob's NFL retirement plans and $2,142 a month in child support -- but no alimony.
Bob's attorney claims the $113,422-a-year he's required to give her is enough -- and claims Sheree should be fined $2,500 by the court for wasting everyone's time.
The case is scheduled to be heard on Monday.

Former "NYPD Blue" star Nick Turturro can't even get arrested in this town.
The 46-year-old was pulled over and cuffed/patted down by members of the West Hollywood Sheriff's department on Wednesday, but was later released with a smile and a handshake.
The incident appears to be a case of mistaken identity. "Don't you know who I was?!"

Just like in his song "Cowboy," Kid Rock's only words of wisdom to the judge who sentenced him -- "Suck my d..." We're talking about the judge who told him performing for the troops in Iraq was not valid community service.
The American Badass already posted the judge's name, work number and address on his website to get his fans to complain -- and now he's got a challenge for the dude: How 'bout you go to Iraq for a while if you're such a badass.
Kid has to complete 80 hours of community service by this February as part of his sentencing for that Waffle House beatdown in '07.

WARNING -- the video is graphic.Filed under: Celebrity Justice
Naveen Andrews has just left family court with his son, and the baby mama is sitting on the courthouse steps bawling.
The "Lost" star and Elena Eustache, the mother of three-year-old Naveen Joshua, were in L.A. County Superior Court, where a judge changed the custody order after Elena allegedly took the boy out of L.A. County without permission. Naveen also claimed Elena kept the boy from him.
The parents had joint custody, but today, with the help of disso-queen Laura Wasser, the order was modified so Naveen now has sole physical and legal custody pending a full hearing next month.
We're told Elena has alleged Naveen's girlfriend, Barbara Hershey, practices witchcraft and that Naveen and Hershey have poisoned the boy. In response, Wasser asked the judge to order Elena to undergo psychiatric testing.
Elena brought the boy to court. After the ruling, the bailiff took the boy from Elena and gave him to Naveen, who left the courthouse with Hershey.
Under the new order, the boy is allowed to travel to Hawaii where Naveen films "Lost". He can be accompanied either by Naveen or Hershey.
After the hearing, Elena told TMZ, "I can't believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want."
The pic above shows the boy, Naveen, Laura Wasser and Barbara Hershey leaving court. Elena is in the pic on right.

Dr. Jan Adams, the non-board certified plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother the day before she died, has been sentenced to one year in jail after rolling over to a charge he drove super drunk last year.
Adams pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of DUI over an incident in the Bay Area last June where he was caught driving the wrong way on a freeway with a blood alcohol level of .20 -- more than twice the legal limit.
Adams will receive eight days credit toward his sentence from the time he served right after he was arrested.

Joe Francis and Larry Flynt claim the economy has made America's sexual appetite go limp, so they're going to the one place where sex is always rampant -- Congress.
Flynt (the "Hustler" guy) and Francis (the "Girls Gone Wild" dude) are asking the government for a $5 billion bailout, claiming the adult entertainment industry has taken a huge shot to the face because of the downturn -- citing the fact that XXX DVD sales are down 22% from a year ago.
"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."
Francis sees his industry like the big three automakers, only BIGGER: "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."
Francis says he's going to D.C. to personally make the pitch. Sounds like someone has a bone to pick.

Law enforcement sources say comedian/actor Faizon Love is the suspect in a battery last night in West Hollywood.
The incident went down at 1:00 AM this morning at the Standard Hotel. Love -- who played Big Worm in "Friday" -- allegedly struck a man in the head with his fist. By the time cops arrived, Love was nowhere to be found. Cops tell us -- they'd Love to talk to him.
In June 2007, Love was sued for allegedly committing a "barbaric assault" on a woman who was a former stage manager in one of his productions. She says the actor chased her around the table, yelled and cursed and threw chairs at her after she allegedly rejected his sexual advances. It appears a default judgment was entered against Love.

Kevin Federline's new chick isn't low rent -- she's no rent -- if you believe the landlord suing her for skipping out on her payments!
Sources tell TMZ Victoria Prince was booted from her Beverly Hills home back in September after she allegedly didn't pay rent for six months. We're told she struck a deal with her landlord to pay him back in installments, but she never made any of the payments.
Now, the landlord is suing Prince for $7500, but there's a catch -- nobody knows where to find her!
We're told her landlord tried to serve her where she works, but security wouldn't let the process server in. Try Vegas next?
Calls to Prince were not returned.

TMZ has obtained video showing the arrest of Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright last July, and it looks like the cops had their sights set on an ass-whuppin'.
It all went down in Shreveport, LA in July. Both actors were arrested for allegedly interfering with an officer. The tape we obtained begins with a passive Brolin -- his arm around fellow-actor Jeffrey Wright -- when a cop pepper sprays him in the face. But it gets more brutal -- when Wright is laying on the ground and it appears a cop repeatedly tasers him.
Today Blair Berk, the lawyer for Brolin and Wright, convinced prosecutors to dismiss all charges against all seven defendants in March, provided they obey the law until then.

Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright have just settled their criminal case in Shreveport, LA.
Brolin and Wright were charged with interfering with a cop during a bar brawl last July. Both actors were pepper sprayed and Wright was tasered.
Under the terms of the deal, as long as they don't have run-ins with the law from now till March 11, all charges will be dropped.
Score another victory for attorney Blair Berk.
UPDATE: TMZ contacted Wright for comment , who told us: "These arrests should never have happened. Thankfully the prosecution was able to see that and dismiss all charges. Unfortunately, there are no winners here, but I remain hopeful that Shreveport officials will be encouraged to dig at the root causes of certain police incidents down there. An old-fashioned refusal of service led to our arrest that night, and there's no room for that in America in 2009."
