Today’s celebrity incarcerations
It’s back to jail for two celebrity spouses. Bobby Brown was given 90 days behind bars on Wednesday for failure to pay $60,000 in child support for two children he fathered.
Brown, husband of crooner Whitney Houston, had been released from jail in Georgia three days earlier than scheduled on Monday so he could give testimony in Wednesday’s paternity hearing in Canton, Mass.
Meanwhile, Kimberly Mathers, rapper Eminem’s ex-wife, was back behind bars after authorities said she dropped out of a court- ordered drug treatment program. She had been released from jail in Macomb County, Mich., on March 1 to attend the program after being convicted of using cocaine while on probation.
On Tuesday, she was back in the Macomb County Jail, awaiting sentencing. In January she was sentenced in to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to charges of cocaine possession and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle.
