The three men popped in Colorado who supposedly had a plot to kill Barack Obama will probably go to jail for a long time -- but not over an assassination plot.
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said there is "Insufficient evidence to verify that such a plot was real." But here's a list of the charges they do face:
Tharin Gartrell: possession of a controlled substance. Shawn Robert Adolph: possession of a firearm by felon, possession of body armor by a violent felon and possession of methamphetamines with intent to distribute. Nathan Johnson: possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of methamphetamines.

The only thing more confusing about Jojo's ass-plant during a live concert in Australia this weekend is the incoherent, rambling mess of nonsense his brother used to explain the whole mess.
Moments ago, K-Ci called into Hot 97 in New York and informed them that Jojo is epileptic, but then -- and this was actually something that came out of his mouth -- he said, "When God say look, when God shuts your body down that's it. Now people be talking junk abouts artists, man, it's just crazy man, get them people a, I hate Bill Gates, I hate Bill Gates for inventing the computer, or whatever that's called. You know I don't mess with it, man."
His best line came when he was defending the fact they don't do drugs, saying "Don't look down on a man without picking him up." Isn't that EXACTLY what K-Ci did?
Don't worry, we left 7 minutes of the interview in there. We dare you to listen to all of it.

Phoebe Price was pissed when some tourists from Dubai had no clue who she was -- but doesn't she realize nobody from America knows either?!
She said she's a superstar "actress" -- yeah, her credits include playing "Customer with car" in the "X-Files" pilot, "Photographer" in one episode of "Arli$$" and "Designer" in something called "Shoot Me! 2."

People need to learn to stay a stone's throw away from the constantly raging Amy Winehouse -- or in this case, a glass bottle and a handbag away from her.
On one of her usual drama filled strolls through the streets of London, Wino smashed a glass bottle at the feet of some passing paps, then socked some woman in the face with her handbag when the lady tried to confront her. Remember to keep your distance, people.

Michael Lohan in NYC looked to make a few things clear -- his daughter Ali's boob job is bogus and that stingy paternity test is still pending.
But the best news -- Michael says he hasn't been approached to be in the second season of "Living Lohan." Which hopefully means -- we will never see a second season of "Living Lohan."

So you just get the news that a really good friend of yours has died. You walk into a room for privacy. What to do? Grieve? Reflect? No, if you're the star of Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing," you get on the horn to score the listing on the dead guy's home.
Josh Flagg, the punk who was just busted for allegedly stealing expensive paintings from the estates he was selling, is one of the show's stars. In the first episode of season two, Josh's pal, legendary Hollywood publicist Jay Bernstein, had just passed away. That's when Josh did what he does best ... operate without soul.
And under the category "takes one to know one" -- during another part of the show, Josh and his pal, Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis, talked about faking their own deaths to see who would show up to the funerals, so they could judge who their "real friends" are.
We're guessing a phone booth could more than handle the guests.

You'd think auditions in the Hamptons would bring out classier ladies for the third season of Bret Michael's trashtastic reality show "Rock of Love."
Think again.

Most people come to the U.S. and pick up a few souvenirs -- Jordan plans on leaving a few behind.
The Britwreck and her hubby, Peter Andre, arrived at LAX yesterday to a paparazzi reception fit for a queen. She told photogs she's in the States to get a breast reduction. For once, we might be sad to see her leave.

After falling face first off the wagon and leaving the show -- Crazytown front man Shifty Shellshock has regained residence to the "Sober Living" house.
Shifty's rep says he's apologized to his family, friends and fans after -- as we first reported -- he bailed out of the "Sober Living" house last weekend and went on a major bender. Shell's rep also wants to make one thing clear: He didn't use the check from VH1 to fund his habits.
We're told production fully supports his return -- because he obviously provides the entertainment needed for this trainwreck of a show!

We have been chronicling the paraphernalia carted inside Amy Weinhouse's house in the last week or so, and it would appear she'll be opening a freak shop on Hollywood Blvd...stat. The combo of blood and slush puppy machine is just plain scary...we're just sayin'.....

Shauna Sand was showing off her new job on the street corners of L.A. last night ... a spokesmodeling gig for San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino! Think Vegas, minus everything.
She looks pretty good in the ads, likely because the pictures were taken years, and a few enhancements, ago.

Tara Reid isn't looking to become the next LezLo -- which is good for lesbians, but a shame for her. Switch-hitting is the one thing that might make the 32-year-old star-turned-train wreck relevant again.

Move over Naked Cowboy. There's a new sheriff in Crazy Town. What's really impressive isn't that this cross-dresser got down for five minutes in Times Square, hanging off a traffic light, but that he did it in heels.
