Singer Lauryn Hill faces tax evasion sentencing
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill is facing sentencing Monday in New Jersey on federal tax charges. Hill pleaded guilty last year to not paying federal taxes on $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. A judge two weeks ago said Hill had paid only about $50,000 of more than $500,000 she owes. Hill said in an Internet posting that she has signed a recording contract with Sony that will help her pay her taxes. She faces up to a year in prison on each of three counts. Her attorney is seeking probation for her. The 37-year-old South Orange resident hasn't released much music since her 1998 solo debut, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which has sold more than 10 million copies and won five Grammy Awards.

That topped the $169 million rung up "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" in 2011, but wasn’t nearly enough to catch up with "The Avengers.” That Disney-Marvel superhero mash-up, which also featured Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, kicked off last summer with a staggering $207 million three-day debut. "Iron Man 3" co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley. Shane Black ("Lethal Weapon") directed the project from a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. Favreau, who directed the first two films, is an executive producer. Last week's No. 1 film, Michael Bay's "Pain & Gain," was a very distant second with $7.6 million. The Jackie Robinson movie "42" finished third in its fourth week at $6.2 million.
The top five:
"Iron Man 3," $175.3M
"Pain & Gain," $7.6M
"42," $6.2M
"Oblivion," $5.7M
"The Croods," $4.2M
Honey Boo Boo's Mama June and Sugar Bear Exchange VowsMama June and Sugar Bear Exchange Vows| TLC, Commitment and Kids Without Marriage, Weddings, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Celebrity Weddings They had vows, a cake, a camouflage gown and all their family and friends present, but Here Comes Honey Boo Boo stars Mama June (June Shannon, 33) and Sugar Bear, 41, won't say whether they've actually gotten married – or just recommitted to each other. On Sunday, friends and family, including Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson, 7) and big sisters Pumpkin, Chickadee and Chubbs, joined the duo in their Georgia backyard for a ceremony to celebrate their love, followed by a rowdy family barbecue on what happens to be Cinco de Mayo. "The day was very special mostly because my girls were able to take part in it," says June. "I felt like it was important for them to see this moment and celebrate my love for Sugar Bear." The fun-loving family, whose series returns to TLC July 17, didn't go over the top with the celebration. "My sister baked the cake, and we spent most of the money on barbecue," says June. "We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear. You can definitely plan an event on a budget!" And whether or not they're actually married, June says she's found the secret to keeping her relationship strong. "Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," she says. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea." "I give this advice to my daughters," she adds, "because I always want them to be themselves and surround themselves with people who love them for them."
