Jessica Simpson Helps Prison Break Star Lane Garrison

Jessica Simpson

Celebrity news…

Actor Lane Garrison from FOX television drama Prison Break was released from a California state prison Wednesday morning, and one of the first places Garrison went was to visit Jessica Simpson and her dad Joe at Joe’s home in Encino. Jessica’s sister Ashlee was reportedly not at the residence.

E! Online reports that Joe Simpson was youth minister to Garrison when they lived in Texas.

Garrison, 28, settled a lawsuit recently with Michelle Ohana and the parents of 17-year-old Vahagn Setian, who was killed when the Land Rover Garrison was driving while intoxicated in 2006 crashed into a tree. Setian was a passenger in the Land Rover, as was Ohana, who survived.

After visiting the Simpson family, Garrison was taken to a Tarzana rehab center where he will spend the next five months as an in-patient.

Garrison – who pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and two other alcohol-related charges, stemming from a 2006 crash that killed a teen – is now entering a five-month program at the Tarzana Treatment Center in the residential in-patient facility.

Garrison commented to reporters as he left the Simpson home, saying, “I’m looking forward to getting on with my life and doing the right thing and helping people.”

Angelina and Brad Go Suburban, Fight Tell-All Book

Posted on 29 April 2009 by Angelique

Angelina Jolie

Shoppers at a CVS drugstore in Oyster Bay, New York near Long Island were surprised to see mega star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie along with two of their children shopping for nuts and tuna fish. The genetically blessed family was also seen at a Dunkin Donuts grabbing a bite to eat. It turns out that the Jolie-Pitt family is renting a home over the bay, but for how long, nobody knows.

Everyone who has interacted with them has described the couple as being friendly, but appearing out of place due to their stunning good looks. According to a local store manager, the celebrity family acted like regular shoppers, pushing their daughters in shopping carts and picking items off the shelves. By the time their shopping was done, people were running up the block to see them – most likely the result of hasty text messages received from shoppers who spotted Jolie and Pitt.

A local resident described Jolie as “looking great” wearing leggings and sunglasses. She also stopped to sign a few autographs, according to the resident.

But not everything can be perfect, even the lives of perfect looking mega stars. Jolie and Pitt are fighting a tell-all book that is being shopped around to publishers by a former bodyguard named Mickey Brett. Though no publisher has taken on the project, the Pitts have struck a few early blows, telling news reporters that Brett has been arrested multiple times and was once questioned over a murder. In addition, he signed a confidentiality agreement to work with the couple.
