Richard Heene, father of the balloon boy, has been sentenced. A Colorado judge says Heene must serve 90 days in jail and four years probation: two for the balloon hoax and two for excessive use of hair gel.

Singer Amy Winehouse was charged with assault Wednesday after an outburst while watching a play in London. An observer says she heckled cast members, kicked a theater employee in the groin and behaved “like a demonic child.” If found guilty, she could be fined, jailed, or move to the USA and run for senator from Connecticut.

…The theater employee was not seriously injured and told colleagues he’s fortunate that Winehouse didn’t strike him with her hair.
