Celebrity gossip, famous birthdays and other tidbits, compiled from Seattle Times news services.
A judge in Clearwater, Fla., on Friday sentenced Nick Bollea, 17, the son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, to eight months in jail for reckless driving. Bollea was led off to begin his sentence immediately; he also will be on five years' probation and lose his driving privileges for three years.
DMX arrested in raid
Authorities say rapper DMX, real name Earl Simmons, has been arrested on drug and animal-cruelty charges in Phoenix after a raid early Friday on the rapper's house. The Maricopa County sheriff's office says DMX, 37, tried to barricade himself in his bedroom but came out as a SWAT team entered the home. The indictment stems from an August search of the rapper's home prompted by reports of dogs being abused on his property.
