Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Found Guilty in Death of 1-Year-Old Girl

Billy Bob Thornton and family got some bad news today.

His estranged oldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was found guilty of the accidental death of her friend’s 1-year-old daughter, after claiming the girl died when she fell from her playpen.

Brumfield was originally charged with murder and child abuse.

The death was caused by a 1-inch fracture to the young girl’s skull and bleeding from the brain, but Brumfield maintained her defense that the child died by accident.

The jury agreed with her and found her guilty of manslaughter, a lesser crime, and accidental death instead.

Brumfield is expected back in an Orlando Florida court room in July to receive her sentence.

Billy Bob has not had contact with his oldest daughter for years. She was the child of Thornton and Melissa Lee Gatlin.

After Thornton and Gatlin divorced, Billy Bob married and divorced again before getting hitched to Hollywood A-list actress Angelina Jolie. That marriage ended in divorce also and Jolie went on to marry actor Brad Pitt.

Thornton is best known for his roles in The Informers, Mr. Woodcock, School for Scoundrels, Bad News Bears, Friday Night Lights, Bad Santa, Monster's Ball, Pushing Tin, Primary Colors, Sling Blade, Indecent Proposal, just to name a few.

The actor is currently filming the animated movie “Puss in Boots” due out later this year, and “The Baytown Disco”, a thriller about three redneck brothers who agree to help a woman save her son from an abusive father.

Thornton is also the lead singer of the band Boxmasters.

Justin Bieber’s Manager Scooter Braun Found Guilty in 2009 Mall Mob Incident

Remember the “Free Scooter” campaign of 2009?

Back in November 2009, Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun was arrested at New York’s Roosevelt Field Mall for not cancelling a performance before the crowed grew unruly.

Almost 3,000 Bieber fans had shown up to see the singer perform when police were called to control the crowd.

Braun was told to cancel the performance and use Twitter to tell the fans to disperse.

Police cancelled the event but not after 5 people were injured and Braun had been arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance.

The next day, Bieber was seen sporting a t-shirt with the slogan “Free Scooter”.

Today, Scooter and Bieber’s record label Island Def Jam agreed to plead guilty on one count of violating a county safety ordinance. A rep commented,

“Basically they are just trying to settle the case and make it go away. It is water under the bridge and was only a moderate safety infraction. This way both sides can move on and put this issue behind them. After reviewing the case, both sides agreed things could have been handled better by everyone involved.”

Island will pay a small fine of $8,000 to settle the case and Bieber is ordered to do a PSA (Public Service Announcement) about cyber bullying.

Not bad when you consider that Bieber makes $300,000 per show, and has pulled in over $100 million dollars over the last year between his “My World” concert tour and widely successful 3D movie “Never Say never”.

For his part, Bieber is finishing his tour in Australia this week and has plans to move on to Japan later this month.

But his tour management company and stage crew have mounted a mutiny of sorts and are refusing to work in Japan due to the risk of radiation from last month’s earthquake and tsunami.

If the team can’t come to some sort of agreement soon, the May 17th and 19th shows in japan may have to be cancelled. Both Avril Lavigne and Slash have already cancelled shows at the same stadiums in Japan over health fears.

Once his tour is over later this month, Bieber plans to return to the U.S. and finish work on his third album and begin shooting his new movie with Mark Wahlberg.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail for Parole Violation

Lindsay Lohan was just sentenced to 120 days in jail for parole violation.

Lohan was in court today to answer to charges she stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store.

Lindsay is already on probation – and has been for several years.

Judge Stephanie Sautner said a trail for her charge of felony theft can move forward and that Lohan had violated her parole.

The judge ordered her to immediately begin serving a 4 month jail sentence for the parole violation, and required her to do 12 weeks of community service at a women’s shelter and the morgue.

She was led out of the court room in handcuffs, then downstairs to be processed, and finally to her jail cell.

Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Holley said a bail bondsman was standing by to supply the $75,000 bail money, and that she would immediately file an appeal.

And another saga of Lindsay going to jail begins….
