Just out of curiousity, if he wasn't a celebrity, but just some average joe, what do you think his sentence would've been? 6 months is nothing compared to 10 years, and it seems that celebrities (at least rich and/or famous ones) often get the equivalent of a "slap on the hand" punishment, while regular people get thrown in jail for long periods of time. It does make you wonder if celebrities get treated like they're higher than other people when they commit crimes, and the "big heads" many of them develop due to their fame/wealth.
And yeah, I don't really care that they do all that stuff and then get in trouble for it (such as Mel Gibson's anti-semitic rants, which became bigger news than his arrest for driving drunk). Way to set an example, doing drugs and getting drunk lol :doh:
There's nowhere I can't reach.
