Adnan Ghalib, Britney Spears’ ex-boyfriend/paparazzo, was booked into jail on Friday — and here’s the mug shot. Soul patches are all the rage in prison. He’ll be doing 45 days in the pokey and was also on formal probation for 36 months and has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor). Back in October, Ghalib pled no contest to leaving the scene of an accident after he allegedly ran over a process server in February.

While 45 days (or less if he gets out early due to overcrowding) is not very long, I’m happy to know that this slimy sleeze is currently in jail for his crimes. As you may recall, once Britney came to her senses (and went under the legal conservatorship of her father/savior Jamie Spears), she filed a restraining order suit against Ghalib and her former “manager”/leech Osama Sam Lutfi so that they would be forced to stay away from her. Both of these men belong in jail but at least they cannot come near Britney anymore. I’m very happy to see that this dark chapter in Britney’s life is finally being dealt with … here’s hoping each of these losers are never heard from again.

The parents of a 6-year-old Colorado boy once feared missing inside a runaway helium balloon have accepted a plea deal to avoid a trial, according to the father’s attorney. Richard Heene turned himself in Thursday afternoon and was released on his own recognizance, authorities said. The Heenes will appear Friday in Larimer County Court, where they are expected to plead guilty, their attorneys said. The penalty range for the felony is two to six years in prison with a fine of $2,000 to $500,000. The range for the misdemeanor would be six months in jail with a fine of $50 to $750, the district attorney’s office statement said. The prosecutor has recommended probation, Richard Heene’s attorney said. Under the deal, Richard Heene, 49, will plead guilty to a felony charge of attempting to influence a public servant. Mayumi Heene, 48 and a Japanese citizen, will plead guilty to false reporting, a misdemeanor, lawyer David Lane said in a statement. Lane said the Heenes accepted the plea deal rather than risk a trial in which Mayumi, if found guilty, would face deportation to Japan. Mayumi Heene admitted to deputies last month that she and her husband Richard “knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence” in Fort Collins, according to an affidavit used to get a search warrant for the home. She allegedly told investigators the incident was a hoax meant to make them more marketable to the media. “Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier…. She and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax,” the affidavit said. Richard Heene had denied a hoax. The most serious charges recommended by Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden would have carried a maximum sentence of six years in prison.

To be honest, I’m thoroughly done with this whole sad ordeal … but I couldn’t resist sharing the moron’s mug shot with the entire World Wide Web. Let this be a lesson to any potential fame-hungry losers out there who are thinking about using their children to get famous … you’re an idiot, don’t do it. The world already has enough Heenes, Gosselins, Federlines, Lohans … we don’t need any others.

The Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in prison upon conviction. Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007. The rapper, born Dwayne Carter, won last year’s best rap solo performance Grammy for “A Milli.” His albums include “Tha Carter,” “Tha Carter II” and “Tha Carter III.” His trial had been due to start Jan. 20.

I mean … when you’re guilty, you’re guilty … and you’ve got to be pretty guilty to voluntarily plead guilty and face jail time. I suppose on some level this will give Lil’ Wayne street cred and will give him license to rap about his time in jail so I guess that’s one positive thing to come from this mess. Perhaps Lil’ Wayne will do some growing up behind bars and will emerge as Big Wayne when he completes his sentence … who knows. What we do know is that Mr. Wayne will be going away for a while to pay his debt to society … I suppose it’s a good thing that he’s man enough to pay for his mistakes.

Stephanie Pratt has taken a detour from The Hills into the drunk tank. The reality TV trainwreck was busted on suspicion of DUI … after a night of partying … Pratt attempted to cement her nonparty-girl status before heading to the club, tweeting: “its my sissy @hollymontags bday party! just finished dinner and going to Empire but im pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper :(” Ironically, the Daily 10 correspondent echoed the same sentiments when E! News caught up with her last night. “I’m a party pooper tonight,” Pratt said. “I got bad news this morning. A friend passed away in a car accident, so everyone needs to drive safe.” A witness says at around 2 a.m. Pratt, Montag and other partygoers headed over to Beso in Hollywood, where they partied until about 3 a.m. After that the group parted ways and Pratt took off in her own car.

I’m sorry but what a moron! I cannot believe that Stephanie would proselytize ON CAMERA about how people should “drive safe” and then get busted for drunk driving. Unbelievable. After the jump, watch video of Stephanie’s fatefully ironic interview and read an update on TMZ about the criminal case against her …

It looks like Holly, Stephanie and newest Hills castmember Stacie Hall were having the time of their lives. Unfortch, it sounds like Stephanie had too much of a good time and thoughtlessly decided to get behind the wheel of a car and put other people’s lives in danger by allegedly drunk driving. In happier non-criminally negligent news, I understand that Holly and Stacie paid a visit to The Parlour on 3rd salon to get all glammed up for the party. At least they have good judgment when it comes to their styling needs. These pics look like the ladies were having fun … it’s a shame that all this fun seems to have led to some piss poor decision making :(

TMZ has learned Stephanie Pratt was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence early this morning in Hollywood. Law enforcement tells us Pratt was busted this morning at 3:45 AM PT in Hollywood. She was taken into custody. Her bail is set at $5,000. Pratt is still in custody. She’s just been booked.

As you may already know, Stephanie was previous arrested on theft charges in her days before she was a castmember on The Hills. I understand that Pratt was in attendance at Holly Montag’s birthday party at Empire nightclub here in LA last night so my guess is that she got loaded up at the shindig and then decided to put other people’s lives in danger by getting behind the wheel of her car. I have to say, I’m very thankful that police enforcement folks here in SoCal are vigilant about busting drunk drivers … keeping them off the road is vitally important. It’s scary out there :(

Thomas Dekker — the guy who played “John Connor” on the Terminator TV show — was arrested last night on suspicion of DUI after allegedly hitting a bicyclist. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the 21-year-old “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” actor was busted around 9pm Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley. On his booking sheet, Dekker is listed as being 5′11″, 155lbs. He’s currently being held on suspicion of felony DUI and causing bodily harm. His bail is set at $100,000.

Sucks!! It is completely outrageous that so many idiots still have no problem gettin’ drunk and then gettin’ behind the wheel of motor vehicles. I get that Dekker is a relative kid but, c’mon, at 21 you should deffo know better. Because of one bad decision he almost killed someone on their bike AND has ruined his record by getting a DUI. Just … stupid. Hopefully this arrest will be a wake-up call for Dekker … he is very lucky that no one was seriously injured.

Former Hills star Jason Wahler has been jailed after being booked on an assault and minor drinking charge, RadarOnline.com has confirmed. Wahler, 22, who used to date his co-star Lauren Conrad, was booked in Seattle on September 25, 2009 at 12: 05 PM before being transferred to Yakima County Jail four days later. A Seattle court official told RadarOnline.com: “He will serve 120 days in jail but could get out after 80 days for good behavior.” A spokesman from Yakima County Jail said the troubled actor was inside their facility after he was sentenced by a judge. Earlier this year Wahler called off his engagement to tennis player and socialite Katja Sadowski.

I mean … I don’t even know what to say at this point. Once you’ve been arrested and/or jailed about half a dozen times by the age of 22, I think it’s safe to assume that you’re kind of a lost cause. It really sounds like booze is destroying this young man’s life … which is just too sad for words. I hope Wahler gets his shizz straight soon. Sad.

Newport Beach PD tells TMZ that former actress and Whitesnake music video vixen Tawny Kitaen was arrested in Newport Beach, Calif. today for suspicion of driving under the influence. Kitaen was arrested at about 3:00 PM Saturday when officers suspected she had been driving her Range Rover under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Kitaen was released after posting $2,500 bail.

Paging Dr. Drew Pinksy … it looks like we’ve got another celeb with addiction problems that you can exploit for financial gain on another season of your VH1 reality TV series Celebrity Rehab. If I remember correctly, Tawny was quite a pistol during her season of The Surreal Life … it seemed at the time that she had a better handle on her demons … I suppose that assumption was incorrect. While I’m glad she was arrested and therefore taken off the streets it’s unfortunate that she’s already free to put other people’s lives in danger again. If convicted, I hope she is put somewhere where she can really get help for her problems … and is kept away from innocent drivers on the streets.

It turns out that Mayer was arrested on May 26, 2001 in Atlanta, GA for driving with a suspended license (see what I mean about those traffic violations piling up and becoming serious offenses?) and was booked and mug shotted. Because TMZ won the bet, Mayer agreed to pay the $25k which will be split between 2 animal charities. I dunno why Mayer thought that TMZ wouldn’t find the mug shot … even if TheSmokingGun.com beat them to the punch, he should’ve known that TMZ is really good at sniffing out mug shots. At least the money is going to a good cause … so it’s the needy animals that really come out the winners here.
