'Idol' Finalist Jacob Lusk Was Arrested the Same Week He Auditioned

'American Idol' finalist Jacob Lusk barely made it on the show this season. The powerhouse singer was arrested in November--the same week he landed his golden ticket to Hollywood, the New York Daily News reports.

Lusk was caught riding a Los Angeles train without buying a ticket in 2009. After not showing up to his court appearance for the infraction, a warrant was issued for his arrest. And when he was pulled over for a traffic violation in November, he was arrested and thrown in jail.

He pleaded no contest to the 2009 charge and was sentenced to three days in jail and two years probation. According to TMZ.com, Lusk then pleaded with the judge to remove probation from the sentence, since it would mean 'Idol' would be forced to cut him.

The judge agreed--and his probation ended November 16, allowing him to compete.

Nicolas Cage Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge

Nicolas Cage was arrested in Louisiana early Saturday morning, following an altercation with his wife of six years, Alice.

The incident that led to the arrest was a rather public one: According to TMZ sources, the Oscar winner was "very drunk" on a New Orleans street when a taxi driver allegedly witnessed the couple quarreling loudly. The cabbie reportedly called the police when Cage pushed his wife.

Cage is said to have taunted cops into taking him into custody, repeatedly refusing their request to quietly go home and asking, "Why don't you just arrest me?" The officers ultimately obliged, charging Cage with disturbing the peace and domestic violence.

He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing; his wife is reportedly denying any physical violence occurred, and expressing no wish to press charges.
With Alice, the actor is raising a son named Kal-El, born in 2005. Cage, who lost his father in 2009, was previously married to Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley.

Cage has a history of public outbursts, including a blow-up last year (caught on tape) on the Romanian set of a movie, and a bar fight in New Orleans last month.

Nobody would dispute that Cage has been battling his fair share of demons recently, including major financial woes. The IRS has alleged for years that he owed millions in income and property tax, while the mother of Cage's firstborn son sued him in 2009 for more than $13 million. That same year, Cage filed a $20 million negligence and fraud suit against his business manager, Samuel Levin -- who then accused Cage of ignoring his pleas to stop living beyond his means. Levin said in a countersuit that Cage was repeatedly advised to curtail his spending, but instead ended up purchasing yachts, Rolls Royces, a Gulfstream jet and 15 homes.

Two Suspects Arrested in DJ Megatron Murder

Two men have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Corey McGriff, better known as television and radio personality DJ Megatron.

According to TMZ, the suspects, 20-year-old Richard Cromwell and 21-year-old William Williams, were taken into custody this morning.

McGriff, 32, was gunned down in Staten Island, NY, early in the morning of March 27 just a block from his home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police told the New York Daily News that they believe the two men stalked McGriff for a block before shooting and killing him in a robbery that went tragically wrong. They reportedly confessed to the crime -- Williams allegedly fired the fatal shot and Cromwell snatched McGriff's watch, a gift from his 11-year-old daughter, from his body before they both fled. They were identified by witnesses and surveillance footage from the scene.

However, they pleaded not guilty to charges of robbery, murder and criminal possession of a weapon. A lawyer for Williams also denied there was any confession.

DJ Megatron was best known as the on-air mixer on BET's hip-hop program '106 & Park' since 2007. He started his career in radio in Boston and Philadelphia before working at New York's Hot 97. He is survived by his wife and three children. http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option
