Actor Gary Dourdan pleaded guilty to counts of cocaine and Ecstasy possession during his arraignment Wednesday in California. Gary was arrested last month after being found sleeping in his car on the wrong side of the street and charged with possession of cocaine, heroin and Ecstasy:

“As a result of today’s proceedings, Gary has been given diversion (a drug treatment program),” his lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley said outside the Lawson Justice Center. “He very much regrets what happened and he’s very embarrassed by what occurred, but he’s looking forward to moving on and getting back to work.”

Dourdan had faced up to 3 years and 8 months based on the charges filed against him. Instead, he faces no prison time, but must complete the 16-class drug program. SOURCE

Hopefully he will get himself together. Dourdan, who is mostly known for his starring role on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, was forced to leave the show due to his personal problem…

Rapper Xzibit announced on his myspace this week that his newborn son died early Monday morning:

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. HIS MYSPACE

We’re sorry for his loss and praying for him & his family…

Cherish member Neosha King got married earlier this month on May 3rd and Essence magazine was in attendance to cover the ceremony:

Neosha, 23 and Jason, 24, became husband and wife during a small, intimate beach ceremony in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Flanked by six bridesmaids, Neosha was a vision to behold in a white, plunge-neckline halter embroidered with her grandmother’s gold-tone, antique jewelry while Jason was equally handsome in a white three-piece suit, supported by his six groomsmen.”QWhen I saw her walk down the aisle it hit me that we were getting married,” says Jason, a design engineer. “We’d been in love for so long and on one accord that it always felt like we were married. She was so beautiful it simply reaffirmed that she was The One for me.” READ MORE

Congratulation’s to Neosha and Jason!

Ray J was in D.C recently all to get kicked out of his hotel after marijuana and a drug called “Boat” (a club drug) was found in his room:

We’re told Ray J went to his room after partying it up, when hotel management got a complaint. It appears security went up to the room where they allegedly found all the drug stuff.

Our sources say the singer tried to bribe hotel security so he could stay but they didn’t bite. We’re told Ray J went crazy, arguing like a mutha. Eventually, Mr. J’s own security came to the hotel and carted him away. SOURCE

When will this boy get it together. Whitney or Kim, please handle your man!
