Wayne Rooney admits being three times drink-drive limit - but is told to pay £170

Wayne Rooney, the former England captain, has apologised for an "unforgivable lack of judgment" after pleading guilty to drink-driving.

The Everton striker was given a two-year driving ban and ordered to carry out unpaid community work after being caught three times the legal alcohol limit on a night out while his pregnant wife and their three sons were on holiday.


After admitting the charge on Monday morning, Rooney was also told to pay £170 - made up of prosecution costs and a victim surcharge. It is a figure he can earn by working just 12 minutes of his reported £150,000-a-week earnings.

The 31-year-old was stopped by police while driving a black Volkswagen Beetle belonging to Laura Simpson - a woman the court heard he had met while socialising with friends - in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1.

Charges Dropped For Trey Songz' Alleged Assault Of A Woman With Dollar Bills

Trey Songz is off the hook from his charges from an incident at a New York strip club in which he allegedly threw a stack of dollar bills at a woman.

Trey Songz was arrested last year, after being accused of assaulting a woman during his album release party at a New York strip club in August. The R&B singer was reported to have been involved in an altercation outside the club, where he allegedly threw a "sum of United States currency" at a woman, "causing substantial pain to her left eye."

TMZ reports that after further investigation into the incident, officials could not prove that any illegal activity took place, so Songz is apparently off the hook.

According to the Queens D.A.'s office, even if Trey had thrown some racks at the woman, "There would be no clear case of misconduct. There was just no high level of recklessness."

Cocaine, Lies, Erectile Dysfunction? Sean Paul, Atlantic Records SUED for $80Million by the Artist’s Ex-Girlfriend!

This case is very interesting and not pretty. I’d like to see the complaint that was filed. The attorney filing the case in behalf of his client clearly believes there is evidence to substantiate the claims. Otherwise, it would be deemed a frivolous lawsuit. This is a case I will revisit, possibly, once I get my hands on the complaint to read it. Interesting that in the allegations according to many news outlets reporting this story, the facts giving rise to legal claims as pled in the complaint includes a tell it all on cocaine use, lies and Sean Paul’s alleged erectile dysfunction as a result of such use. I need to see this complaint to even discuss this case. It is too crazy to be real the way it is reported.

I can tell you one thing for sue. Sean Paul is going to need a take no prisoner shut things down kind of trial lawyer to make this go away, quickly. He is also going to need a solid, above average PR team. Crazy times ahead.

Dancehall star Sean Paul has been hit with an $80 million lawsuit from a former lover.

Susanne Persson filed papers at Manhattan Supreme Court in New York late last month, alleging the star had her illegally deported from Jamaica and drove her to attempt suicide.

In the documents, she claims, “I had tried to kill myself, losing more than one liter of blood from a cut on my wrist. I had shown the pictures of the cuts to Sean over the Internet. I feel he should see what he had caused.”

Persson made the alleged attempt on her life in June, 2010, a day before she was deported back to her native Sweden by officials.

She claims Paul “bribed Jamaican police” to kick her out of the country – an allegation the star’s representative denies.

Attorney Tom Taveres-Finson tells the New York Post, “He would not have the power to do that.”

Persson is seeking $80 million in damages from Sean Paul, his road manager Steve Wilson, and the star’s label, Atlantic Records.

She claims she was a “jet set slave” for Paul, and threatened to go public about his “lies… and erection problems” when he allegedly threatened to have her deported.

Her court documents include a receipt for a flight from Jamaica to Stockholm, Sweden, which was paid for by Headline Entertainment, Sean Paul’s Kingston-based management company.

Paul has refused to comment on the pending litigation.

Woman Returns Stolen Kids

A middle-aged woman, Eloho Igwe who allegedly stole two young children last week in Benin City, has surrendered herself to the police.

The stolen children have also been reunited with their families.

The two kids, Faith Omoruyi, 5 and Gold Peter, 4, were allegedly abducted at Useh Market and Useh Secondary School by Eloho who took them to the Mechanic village in Warri, Delta State for unknown reasons.

Eloho told journalists that she took the children with the assistance of one Efe Ogaga, but that she had to return the children to their parents and. surrender herself to the police due to pressure mounted on her by her family members and neighbours.

Australian woman gets worker's compensation benefits for injury during sex on business trip

An Australian court has ruled that a bureaucrat who was injured while having sex on a business trip is eligible for worker's compensation benefits.

The Full Bench of the Federal Court ruled Dec. 13 in favor of the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, and rejecting the appeal of the federal government's insurer, ending a five-year legal battle.

The woman was hospitalized after being injured in 2007 during sex with a male friend while staying in a motel in the town of Nowra, 100 miles south of her hometown of Sydney.

During the sex, a glass light fitting was torn from its mount above the bed and landed on her face, injuring her nose and mouth. She later suffered depression and was unable to continue working for the government.

Her claim for worker's compensation for her physical and psychological injuries was initially approved by government insurer Comcare, then rejected after further investigation.

An administrative tribunal agreed with Comcare that her injuries were not suffered in the course of her employment, saying the government had not induced or encouraged the woman's sexual conduct. The tribunal also found the sex was "not an ordinary incident of an overnight stay" such as showering, sleeping and eating.

That ruling was overturned in the Federal Court in 2012, when Judge John Nicholas rejected the tribunal's findings that the sex had to be condoned by the government if she were to qualify for compensation.

"If the applicant had been injured while playing a game of cards in her motel room, she would be entitled to compensation even though it could not be said that her employer induced her to engage in such activity," Nicholas wrote in his judgment in favor of the woman receiving compensation.

In the Full Bench decision upholding Nicholas' decision, Judges Patrick Keane, Robert Buchanan and Mordy Bromberg agreed last week that the government's views on the woman having sex in her motel room were irrelevant.

"No approval, express or implied, of the respondent's conduct was required," they said.

It is not yet clear how much compensation the woman will be paid.

Comcare was on Monday considering an appeal to the High Court, Australia's highest legal authority, Comcare spokesman Russ Street said.

"The issue is a significant one," Street said in a statement. "Workers need to be clear about their entitlements and employers should have an understanding of their responsibilities and how to support their staff."
