James Arthur Ray Convicted of Negligent Homicide in Sweat Lodge Deaths

Self-help guru James Arthur Ray was found guilty of negligent homicide, nearly two years after three people died in a sweltering sweat lodge for one of his exercises. The Camp Verde, Ariz., jury, which deliberated for barely a day, chose not to convict Ray of the more serious charge of manslaughter, as the prosecution had urged. Ray, 53, faces a sentence ranging from probation to 11 years in prison; the manslaughter conviction would have resulted in up to 37 years in prison. Ray was accused of contributing to the deaths of two men and a woman who took part in a $10,000 Spiritual Warrior exercise in 2009 that included entering a sweat lodge. The prosecution claimed that Ray made the lodge too hot and that he implored participants to trust him and persevere even if they felt they couldn't take the heat.

'Smallville's' Sam Jones sentenced to one year in prison

Former "Smallville" star Sam Jones III, who played Clark Kent's friend Pete Ross in the early seasons of the show, has been sentenced to one year in jail for conspiracy to sell more than 10,000 pills of Oxycodone. Jones groveled. He "begged the judge for mercy," insisting that he lost not only his dog and his car in the midst of the drug charges, but also his job on "Blue Mountain State," where he played college freshman football star Craig Shilo. The judge went easy on Jones, considering the prosecutors were looking for a five-year sentence. He was granted a lesser sentence because his role in the drug ring was minor, standing as the "Hollywood connection" for the suppliers. Jones is having a rough couple of weeks in general. His girlfriend, Playmate Karissa Shannon, dumped him after Hugh Hefner's breakup with Crystal Harris in order to move back into the Playboy mansion with her twin sister, Kristina.

Tobey Maguire sued over poker winnings

The lawsuit stems from the criminal case against Bradley Ruderman, the chief executive of Beverly Hills-based Ruderman Capital Partners, who was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in January for an investor Ponzi scheme he ran from 2003 to 2009. Ruderman pleaded guilty last August to wire fraud and investment adviser fraud, admitting that he embezzled millions of dollars of his clients' money to spend on lavish personal expenses, including $5.2 million he lost in clandestine poker. According to the lawsuit, Ruderman was a regular player in a series of exclusive, and illegal, "Texas Hold'em" games held for celebrities and wealthy Hollywood business figures at various luxury hotels and private homes in L.A. and Beverly Hills. Another participant in those games, the lawsuit says, was Maguire, who is alleged to have won more than $311,000 from Ruderman that the hedge fund manager siphoned from the investments of his clients. Others being sued by Ehrenberg include film director Nick Cassavetes, "Welcome Back Kotter" TV star Gabe Kaplan and Paris Hilton's onetime sex video partner, Rick Salomon.
