Mark Wahlberg! Why would you EVER be ashamed of laying down some nasty beats with the Funky Bunch??

LOLz! We kid, we kid!

Mark Wahlberg is obviously talking about the actual dark period of his life — his criminal past. He has four lovely kiddos: Ella, nine, Michael, seven, Brendan, four, and Grace, three, with wife Rhea Durham.

If you didn't know, Mark was in trouble with police more than 20 times when he was a teen. He was even sent to jail for assault; something he doesn't usually talk about, as his life couldn't be more different now than it was back then.

The thing is, he isn't scared to tell them! He just wants to wait until they're able to tell that the life he has now does not excuse the things he has done. Fame and fortune does not give doing that stuff a pass. Here's what he said about it:

Holy shish kabobs, we can't believe this is really happening!!

Lauryn Hill was just sentenced to three months in jail for tax evasion!!!

She claims to have paid the gov't her $970K in back taxes BEFORE the sentencing, but apparently that didn't sufficiently impress the judge!

Now the phenomenal former Fugees star faces a three months stint in a federal prison and will spend another three months on house arrest after that!!

Damn!! That hurts!!!

The 37-year-old star knew she was in hot water after pleading guilty last year to several counts of tax evasion on earnings of around $1.8 mil, but we doubt she expected this outcome!!

Lauryn delivered a statement in court today and compared her situation to slavery — she said:

Phew! That was close!

Famed R&B artist Lauryn Hill was almost sent upstate to the pokey today after pleading guilty to evading the tax man from 2005 to 2007!!!

In fact, she was sentenced to prison, but her magician of a lawyer bought her two extra weeks to try and raise the $968K she owes her favorite Uncle Sam!

Her sentencing is set for May 6 and apparently Mrz. Hill will try everything from taking out loans to inking

The people have spoken! And apparently what they’re saying is they want to finally put an end to “war on drugs!”

Russell Simmons recently posted a letter to his website urging President Barack Obama to tweak his policies when it comes to throwing drug users behind bars, and he’s gotten PLENTY of support from some of Hollywood’s elite!

Some of the celebs who have signed the letter include Justin Bieber, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian, Russell Brand, Jon Hamm, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria, Woody Harrelson, and MANY more!

Talk about some serious star power!

The Def Jam co-founder and his band of all-star supporters say the biggest issue with the “war on drugs” is the amount of people being thrown in jail for nonviolent crimes such as drug use, and unless this number is reduced soon, our future looks pretty bleak:

Congratulations are in order…

Cause iconic actor Wesley Snipes has been RELEASED from jail!!

Snipes was admitted into the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania back in 2010 because of tax issues, and was officially released (to home confinement) on April 2nd.

Wesley will be 100% free when his house arrest ends July 19.

And then he can return to where he is DESPERATELY needed … the movies!

YEAH get ON that Expendables 3 sh*t! LOLz!!

It's good to know that Lindsay Lohan doesn't take herself too seriously!

The hard partying actress has been in loads of trouble with the law and she used her guest role on Anger Management as a chance to tell the world she knows she's made some mistakes.

On her angelic first day of filming on Monday, Lindsay (who plays herself) and Charlie Sheen woke up from a raunchy night in bed and when Charlie's character told her he had to go to jail for an hour, LiLo replied:

It looks like Amanda might have an extra chapter to add to her book, as the Italian high court has ordered a retrial on her case.

As a reminder, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been accused of murdering Meredith Kercher while studying abroad in Italy and have already served 4 years in prison.

The two were eventually acquitted and released in 2011 and it looked like the nightmare was finally over. But now the case has been reopened and it’s not exactly clear why.

Amanda was upset to hear the news from her home in Seattle, and released the following statement, saying:
