"I hope that he realizes that his actions not only lead to consequences that affect him but they lead to consequences that affect others that are looking up to him as a role model," Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield said at a hearing. "He just hopefully will get the message. He will grow up. He will use his talents positively for young persons."
Did Bieber get the message.
Who knows? He wasn't there.
The plea deal Bieber struck with prosecutors includes a 12-hour anger-management course, a $50,000 charitable contribution already made to a local children's organization and a $500 fine. The deal allows Bieber to avoid a DUI conviction and includes no jail time.
Robin Williams update
What the heck is wrong with people?Robin Williams' daughter Zelda has quit social media (Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram) in disgust following what she called "cruel and unnecessary" messages sent to her following her father's death.
Zelda wrote that she was stepping away "for a good long time, maybe forever."
Being an online ass after a woman's father has committed suicide is a special level of schmuckitude.
* The Broadway community honored Robin Williams at 7:45 last night by dimming marquee lights for one minute.
Williams had been on Broadway several times, most recently as a restless tiger ghost in 2011 in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."
He had also starred with Steve Martin in Mike Nichols' 1988 off-Broadway version of "Waiting for Godot" and in "Robin Williams: Live on Broadway," in 2002.
* The Los Angeles Times reports that the Broadway musical "Aladdin" paid tribute to Williams on Tuesday night when Tony-winning Genie James Monroe Iglehart led the audience in a sing-along of "Friend Like Me."
Williams voiced Genie in the 1992 Disney animated movie.
Just because . . .
Austrian porn performer "Babsi" confessed to shooting an adult video in a church, after she was identified by Linz parishioners who recognized the nave (no word if they later confessed to watching the video).To get to the bottom of the culprit, parts of the video - the top parts - were shown on local TV.
In the vid, the Huffington Post (using info from the New York Daily News and Austrian Times) said, Babsi caresses her breasts while holding what appears to be a Bible and a rosary. Her face is not shown.
But a tipster called in to say he recognized Babsi's breasts.
Those must be some breasts if a person seeing them on television would go, "Hey, I know her."
TATTBITS
* The Indiana Gazette reports that Carol Burnett will receive the Harvey Award at an Oct. 3 fundraiser for the James M. Stewart Museum Foundation.The foundation and its Jimmy Stewart Museum are based in Stewart's hometown, Indiana, Pa., about 45 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Burnett has called Stewart her "idol," and he appeared on the final "Carol Burnett Show" as a surprise guest, in 1978.
* Conrad Bassett-Bouchard, of Portland, Ore., beat Jason Li, of Montreal, yesterday in the final round of the 25th National Scrabble Championship played in Buffalo, N.Y.
Word.
* If, like Tattle, you've been wanting to write stories or novels about Sherlock Holmes - we've always pondered "A Study in Scarlett Johansson" - paying Holmes' licensing fees are now a thing of the past.
The Los Angeles Times reports that 7th Circuit Judge Richard Posner has ruled that Sherlock is in the public domain, and he criticized the estate of Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for its "disreputable" practices.
"The Doyle estate's business strategy is plain: charge a modest license fee for which there is no legal basis, in the hope that the 'rational' writer or publisher asked for the fee will pay it rather than incur a greater cost, in legal expenses, in challenging the legality of the demand," Posner wrote.
Sounds like the short story "Sherlock Holmes and the Protection Racket."
* HBO has renewed "The Leftovers" for a second helping.
It's amazing how long things keep these days.
