'Idol' Finalist -- Saved By REAL Judge After Arrest
"American Idol" finalist Jacob Lusk threw himself at the mercy of a court back in November -- begging a judge to end his probation from a 2009 arrest so he could compete on "A.I."
It all started back in February 2009 -- when cops cited Jacob for riding on an L.A. metro train without buying a ticket. Jacob blew off his court hearing and an arrest warrant was issued.
Fast forward to Nov. 2010 -- a day after Jacob auditioned for "Idol" and got his golden ticket to Hollywood -- Lusk was pulled over for a traffic stop. The cop discovered the warrant and arrested him.
Jacob went to jail and then to court the next day and pled no contest to the train-hopping charge. He was sentenced to 3 days in jail and 2 years probation.
Jacob served his time and then went back to court, telling the judge "Idol" wouldn't let him on the show if he was on probation. After his emotional plea, the merciful judge terminated his probation.
Fun Fact -- On night one in the pokey, Jacob sang to 170 inmates, who liked it a lot. Thing is, the guard wasn't a fan, screaming through the loud speaker, "This isn't a f**king singing contest."
Undaunted, we're told Lusk sang over the next day-and-a-half, preparing for "Idol." And on his last day, Lusk sang a farewell song, and another guard went on the loud speaker and said it was "bad ass!"

Katherine Jackson Fires Her Lawyer
Katherine Jackson has just escalated her battle royale with the Michael Jackson Estate by firing her lawyer.
TMZ has obtained a letter Katherine sent to Adam Streisand, wishing him the best on the one hand ... and giving him the boot on the other.
The letter does not explain the reasons for the firing, simply saying, "... I have decided to move in a different direction."
But sources connected with Katherine tell TMZ ... she's upset that Streisand gave TMZ a statement yesterday in which he said Katherine "denies signing any statement to the court that makes accusations against the executors of any wrongdoing with respect to her son or his estate."
The Heal the World Foundation had filed a declaration -- purportedly written by Katherine Jackson -- in which she accused John Branca of being a crook who stole from Michael.
Streisand told TMZ Wednesday, "She did not and would not make any such statements about the executors."
Sources connected with Katherine do not dispute Streisand's claim that Katherine never said or believed the executors were crooks. So it's unclear what got Katherine so upset that she fired Streisand.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... some of the people who have Katherine's ear have it out for the Estate and actually wrote the declaration with the accusations and were upset that Streisand blew the whistle on them.

Survivor Insider: No One Can Refuse the Robfather on Redemption Island
Rob Mariano is Survivor: Redemption Island's Vito Corleone.
Like The Godfather's mob boss, the Robfather is ruthless, brilliant, charismatic and values loyalty and family above all else.
But could the game's greatest hit man survive tonight's double elimination without being taken out himself?
TWITTER: Follow @DruMoorhouse for more Survivor scoop!
Smahten up, this is Awesome Rob we're talking about, who tonight engineered the ouster of tough guys Mike and David.
Stealth Aren't Us: Let's get one thing straight. The former Otempo, Otempe Ometepe tribe are the opposite of stealth. By excluding the former Zapateras from their reindeer games, Specialist Phillip, Assassin Grant, Mentalist Rob and their three zeroes, er, degrees are as stealthy as the Stealth Bomber would be if it flew over Redemption Island Arena. And for all we saw of that forum, maybe it already did...
Overpopulation Crisis: Tonight's episode began with 12 contestants (11 at Murlonio's camp and Matt prayin' it up at Redemption Island) and concluded with...12 contestants. There are too many players in this game! What should have been a super exciting double elimination night turned out to be a nonelimination night, because instead of squaring off against first eliminee Mike, Matt had to make room for both him and David in his Shame Shack. Like Matt, my faith is being sorely tested by this Redemption Island twist, and the previews offered no indication of an exciting battle to come. Frankly, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Pearl Islands' outcast Lil knocked on Matt's door in her Boy Scout uniform.
Mariano Crime Syndicate: The Robfather is unquestionably this show's Mafia Boss, and despite Grant's swagger, he knew there could be hell to pay for breaking bread/fish with the rival family. David can't help but hide his admiration in watching this Scorsese-style masterpiece play out before his eyes, even when he knows he's one of the hit man's next targets. When Mafia Princess Natalie ratted out Ashley, it seemed like she might be the next Fredo going out on the fishing boat, but Don Mariano knows his family is too obedient right now to threaten his plans.
We Are Family: Like any Mafioso, nothing is more important to the Robfather than loyalty. And Special Agent Samurai Sheppard of the Cherokee Nation proved just that at the first Tribal Council (in the most awkward group hug ever), after which Rob declared himself "very happy" with his "very loyal soldier": "Phillip is obeying and doing as he's told, and he'll be rewarded for it." If Rob really takes Phillip to the final three, we will all be rewarded.
Divided We Fall: Even Jeff Probst himself was flabbergasted at the genius of Rob's enforced buddy system, preventing the former Zapateras from trying to sway their allegiance. By segregating their shelters and scheduling separate mealtimes, Rob ensures that Murlonio will never be united until all the former Zapatera members have gone to join Matt's prayer circle.
Next Time, on Survivor: Look out, Ralph: "redheaded stepchild" Phillip is playing the race card! Although I missed the competition and blindsides tonight, to be perfectly honest, I'd be happy watching the Rob and Phillip comedy hour for the remainder of the season. We're all winners!
Whose Muscled-Up Legs Are These?
Celebs are known for being pretty well put together. Physical attributes usually include toned arms, six-pack abs and buns of steel.
And now...buff calves?
Looks like it, as somebody's rock-hard legs outshine her sparkly shoes!
This star is most lauded for her work on the small screen, but her movies are a real scream, too.
So who's showing off her sinewy stems?

It's Courteney Cox!
The Cougar Town babe looks freakin' fabu as she hits the Late Show studios in New York City to promote Scream 4.
Guess running from the Ghost Face Killer and splashing around in St. Barts should be the new Hollywood fitness craze!

Princess Power: Could There Be a Royal Wedding in Blair's Future on Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl finally returns next Monday and the final five episodes of this season are Blair-tastic! Our favorite Queen B (Leighton Meester) might actually be getting royal (her European prince is back in town), her days macking on Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and duelling to the death with soulmate Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick).
We just talked to Gossip bosses Stephanie Savage and Josh Safran, and they revealed what's driving Blair's decisions, how family secrets are going to change celebutante blond Serena (Blake Lively) and which original character is getting a shocking reveal four seasons in the making:
WANT MORE? Follow @JenniferArrow on Twitter
Are Dan and Blair still a going concern or are they totally done? Will they ever have stories together again?
JS: There will absolutely continue to be stories of the two of them together, definitely. All the way up through the finale. And beyond.
SS: And beyond.
What can you tell us about a possible Chuck and Blair reunion?
JS: Chuck and Blair are very much connected in this pod. How that connection bears itself out, I just think we've got to wait and see. But the dynamics that have been brewing all season with them—Blair wanting to be powerful, Chuck waiting for her. All of that stuff is definitely very much prevalent in these last five.
Speaking of Blair's desire to be powerful, has Blair settled on a specific ambition and goal at this point? For example, does she still want to be a fashion editor?
Something presents itself very soon that answers that question.
Are we on our way to seeing Princess Blair?
Just wait.
Do you think Dan really fell for Blair?
Dan will continue to be involved with Blair and in Blair's story. And then he also gets a bit of a new relationship.
Is Dan's new relationship with Serena's cousin Charlie (Kaylee DeFer)?
JS: Wait and see, but I also think something happens regarding Dan's character that has actually been secretly brewing for a long time. It's something that I think will reshape his character.
What can we expect for Nate (Chace Crawford) and Vanessa's (Jessica Szohr) characters in this last batch of episodes?
JS: Nate continues his relationship with Raina (Tika Sumpter), and he's very much folded into that story. And Vanessa tries to get back in the good graces of everybody, and we'll see she'll end of trying larger and larger things until there is one very very big thing that will happen that changes things.
With the arrest and the return of William van der Woodsen, there has to be a lot going on with Rufus and Lily's clan, right?
JS: Oh tons. [Laughs.] It's always fun when you get all of them together, even when you get any three of those characters together it's fun. We're starting this—episode 18 starts the last five, but it also introduces Charlie, introduces a lot of stuff about the Rhodes family and van der Woodsens that we have never seen or known about before. That's seen through every episode until the end. You constantly learn more and more about Carol (Sheila Kelly), about Charlie, about Lily and Carol's relationship and about CeCe (Caroline Lagerfelt), their mother. It just keeps growing.
SS: Aunt Carol in Miami is a character who's mentioned in passing in the pilot. So it was great to meet past aunt Carol two seasons ago and grownup Carol in this episode and to meet her daughter, who is Serena and Eric's cousin.
And I assume this all comes back to Serena in the end?
JS: Definitely.
SS: Yeah.
Can you expand on how it effects her?
JS: The first half of the season was about Serena sort of being gaslit and wondering what it is that she could have done and then discovering that it wasn't her, it was her mother and that fractured them. So we proceeded along looking back at the past at what happened and not, and now this last five are sort of showing how the family comes back together and what this new family dynamic is going to be. That will definitely spin Serena off into a new direction. I think it would be honestly too delicious to spoil.
One or another of the actors occasionally says they might be done with the show soon, is there any plan in place to end the show? Do you have an end date in mind?
SS: The reality of television life is that the actors have six-year contracts. So any things that the actors have said have been in the context of that lifespan. Which isn't to say that there isn't life of the show beyond that but we're just excited about finishing up season four and hopefully getting a season five, and generally making that the best season of the show that we've ever done.
I'm impressed with all that you've done and your stamina in keeping the show so vibrant this far in.
SS: Honestly I think I can speak for all the writers, the show is an incredible passion for us and that writing it is a pleasure and we love the characters and the world so much that its really hard to imagine a life without them. And that is pretty sustaining on a daily basis.

Ouch! Dancing's Cheryl Burke Hanging Up Her Heels...
Cheryl Burke is still in pain.
The pro-dancer injured her thigh and groin area during her Monday-night performance with partner, pro wrestler Chris Jericho. "My adrenaline just overpowered me a little bit," she says. "There's a part in the paso doble where I go down, and I went down a little too fast. I think I overstretched it and ripped something in there."
Ouch.
She's been forced to hang up her heels—but for how long?
MORE: Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett is in pain, too
Fortunately, Burke should be good to go by the time she and Jericho have to perform a Viennese waltz next Monday. "As long as I don't go straight into my heels right away, I'll be fine," she said. "For now, it's my dance sneakers."
We're surprised she hasn't been hurt sooner. "The hardest part with Chris would be getting him to stand up straight and to move me around the floor, but not in a wrestling way," Burke said. "He used to like choke me to dip me, but now he knows how to handle me a little bit more gracefully."
And remember when Jericho told me he didn't mind all the rhinestones, spandex and sparkles of the show's signature costumes? Well, even Burke is a little surprised by how enthusiastic he is about it.
"He's always begging me to put more rhinestones on his outfits," she laughed. "He's loving it. He just wants as many rhinestones as possible."
Yeah, but when will we see him dancing in a pair of those crotch-hugging wrestling shorts? Burke joked, "I think we'll save that for the samba."
At least I think she was joking.
