Canadian police finally have arrested a woman accused of attacking Leonardo Di Caprio back in 2005.

Aretha Wilson allegedly slashed Leo with a glass at a Hollywood party hosted by Rick Solomon and left him with 10 stitches on his ear and seven on the neck. Police issued an arrest warrant for Wilson, but she fled to her native Canada.
In 2006, Wilson was charged with the assault of her ex-boyfriend in Toronto and received a suspended sentence and two years of probation. Now that her probation is over, American officials were able to request her extradition and she was arrested on Monday.
Battery generally is defined as an offensive touching of another person without consent. Watch below and form your legal opinion about whether Hugh Grant is guilty.
Just like Popsquire predicted, Terri Seymour’s attacker will not go to jail.
Janice Thibodeau grabbed Seymour’s neck and tried to choke her after the American Idol finale a few weeks ago. Today, Thibodeaux pleaded guilty to battery. Her punishment: 36 months probation, 20 days of labor, and the option to attend anger management classes or be placed under 36 hours of psychological evaluation. She is expected back in court on July 16 to provide the court with a progress report.
So, what will happen to Chris Brown? Remember him and the infamous Rihanna photo? His preliminary hearing is schedule to start later this month. Keep Thibodeaux’s sentencing in mind, and let’s see which one gets a meatier punishment.
A jury recently found Snoop Dogg not liable for allegedly beating up a fan on stage, so maybe Pitbull hopes to rely on precedent. Either way, he better lawyer up ASAP!
On last night’s episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Kiefer Sutherlandsaid he regrets the now infamous headbutting incident and assured Jimmy that he definitely doesn’t think he’s actually Jack Bauer.
Too bad Tyra Banks didn’t conduct this interview — she could have given him the Levi treatment and gotten Kiefer to admit he thinks he’s Jack Bauer at least most of the time!
Kiefer Sutherland may be hitting his own head on jail bars soon.

The 24 star is expected to surrender to police and face assault charges after allegedly headbutting a fashion designer in NYC on Tuesday. While this appears to be a minor incident, Kiefer is still serving probation for a 2007 DUI incident. If the LA City Attorney’s Office determines that this incident constitutes a violation of Kiefer’s probation, then he may face jail time.
That’s the glitch about probation. You get to avoid jail, but you have to behave on the outside!
This PSA, entitled The Cut, launched in British cinemas this month and has more than a million hits on YouTube, but British TV is banning it unless scenes showing Keira Knightley being thrown to the floor and beaten are removed.
Marlee Matin says she had “fresh bruises everyday” while dating William Hurt in the 80s. In her new book, I’ll Scream Later, Marlee discusses details about that relationship as well as her illegal drug abuse.
After pleading no contest to one count “corporal injury resulting in traumatic condition of a spouse” for beating up his estranged wife (seen above) in October, , the Soul Train host was ordered to: (1) 36 months of probation; (2) pay more than $1,000 in fines; (3) 300 hours of community service; (4) not own, use or possess any deadly weapons; (5) refrain from using violence against anyone; (6) stay away from the location of the attack; and (7) complete a 52-week domestic violence treatment program.
This did not involve a felony, so let’s hope Chris Brown gets at least this level of punishment. Of course, Popsquire hopes Chris Brown does some jail time as well, but it’s unlikely.
Kenley Collins must have decided not to “make it work” with her ex-fiance, Zak Penley…
According to the police report, Collins woke up Zak, who still lives with her despite being an ex,at about 7 a.m. Tuesday by throwing their cat at his face. Then, when he tried to leave the room, she: (a) slammed the bedroom door on his head; (b) hurled his laptop at him; (c) tossed a glass of water on his face; and (d) said, “You’re lucky, it could have been worse.”
Well, yeah, it could have been much worse. She could have married him and changed her name to “Kenley Penley.”
Although Chris Brown spent time with the LAPD yesterday, don’t expect him to spend any time in jail.
Cops booked him on charges of making criminal threats, which is punishable by up to four years in prison and considered a “strike” for purposes of California’s three strikes laws. It’s the most serious crime fitting the description of events, while other possible charges likely include felony or misdemeanor battery, both of which are not considered strikes.
Brown is expected in court on March 5, accompanied by his high profile attorney, Mark Geragos. Between now and then, plea bargaining will begin. It’s entirely possible that, like Alan Panettiere, Brown may plead no contest to misdemeanor battery, requiring him to serve two years of probation, pay fines, enroll in a domestic violence treatment program and attend counseling sessions. And, of course, it’s entirely possible that Brown is innocent.
Whatever happens, Popsquire is confident that Brown will not serve the maximum sentence in jail.
Chris Brown has lawyered up in his felony battery case.
He hired Mark Geragos, who also has represented Michael Jackson, Wynona Ryder, and Scott Peterson in high profile criminal cases. Now, it’s likely only a matter of time until the singer enters a plea bargain that allows him to escape any jail time. Meanwhile, his publicists likely will be pleading with the public to keep an open mind and, possibly, for forgiveness.
Popsquire hopes Rihanna is ok and will keep you posted.
