Blige adds some more to her trophy shelf
Mary J. Blige better make room on her trophy shelf.
The R&B diva, who won three Grammy Awards in February, will receive the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' Voice of Music Award, the group announced Tuesday.
The award will be presented June 25 at ASCAP's 20th-anniversary Rhythm & Soul Music Awards at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.
“Mary J. Blige is not only the ‘Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,' but also a guiding light,” said ASCAP President Marilyn Bergman in a statement. “Through all of her struggles, she was determined to find and maintain her own musical voice.”
Blige, 36, has released seven chart-topping albums during her 15-year career, including last year's “The Breakthrough.”
Stallone pleads guilty to banned substance charge
Sylvester Stallone pleaded guilty Tuesday to two charges of importing banned substances into Australia, saying he takes the muscle-building drugs for a medical condition and didn't know he was breaking the law.
Stallone, star of the “Rocky” and “Rambo” films, didn't appear in court. He left Australia in February after authorities confiscated the substances.
“I made a terrible mistake, not because I was attempting to deceive anyone, but I was simply ignorant to your official rules,” the 60-year-old actor said in a letter to Sydney Local Court.
“Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision I have continued to use both medications,” he said. Stallone didn't disclose the medical condition.
Lohan accused of not braking for paparazzi
Lindsay Lohan and her mother have been sued by a freelance photographer who claims the “Georgia Rule” actress hit him with a car in the West Village.
Photographer Giovanni Arnold claims he “sustained severe and permanent personal injuries” when he was struck by the BMW on March 13 on Ninth Avenue between 12th and 13th streets.
Arnold suffered injuries to both knees and was “still getting medical treatment,” his lawyer, Marc Mauser, said Tuesday. He said Arnold was seeking unspecified monetary damages “for his pain and suffering and his lost wages.”
Robert Stephan Cohen, a lawyer for Lindsay Lohan and her mother, Dina, was in a meeting Tuesday and wasn't immediately available for comment, his office said.
The complaint claims the Lohans were “negligent, careless and reckless” with the vehicle.
