Justice is served kids. Anne Hathaway’s scumbag ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, who pled guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy in September was sentenced to four years in prison today.

Through an interpreter, Follieri delivered a statement, in which he said, “The most important thing I want the court to know is I was not raised with bad values. … I started off with good intentions, determined to run an honorable business and make everyone proud of me. What I did was wrong and there is no point in making excuses. … I will never be able to wash away the shame. … I just hope that someday those who have been hurt by my actions will forgive me.”

I would write a more scathing bit about Raffi, but I truly believe that four years in prison with that pretty Italian face of his is going to be punishment enought. Good luck dude.

It’s always a good day when justice is served up American style! Italian romeo/rip-off artist (and Anne Hathaway’s ex) Raffaello Follieri has pled guilty to 14 counts of ‘con-artistry’ and ‘will serve at least five years in prison for filching $6 mil while pretending to be the Vatican’s chief money man.’

While it’s good to know that our justice system does work on occasion, the best part of this story is that Follieri literally begged the judge to move him out of current jail cell because of “unspecified inmate issues.” I supposed pretty Italian boys end up being someone’s pretty Italian girlfriend in prison.

Leighton Meester may play a privileged teenager on Gossip Girl, in real life she is straight from the streets. Well sort of. Star magazine reports that actress’ mother was serving a federal prison sentence in Texas when baby Leighton was born.

She was actually born in a halfway house and her mother was returned to prison when Leighton was three months old. She was then shipped off to be raised by relatives while her mom served her time for her role in “an illegal enterprise”. Star also says that Meester’s grandfather, father and aunt were also jail for selling drugs. It’s a family enterprise.
