Exactly thirteen years after being acquitted of murder, O.J. Simpson heard the word “Guilty” twelve times over.
Late last night, the 61-year-old football star and his co-defendant, Clarence Stewart, were convicted for their involvement in a 2007 incident. Simpson, with the help of several armed men, robbed two sports-memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room. The Hall of Famer - who claimed he didn’t know guns were involved - claimed he was simply trying to reclaim what was his.
After thirteen hours of deliberation, the Nevada jurors found Simpson guilty on 12 counts including kidnapping and armed robbery. He could expect to receive anywhere between five years to life in prison at the December 5 sentencing.

UPDATE: Castroneves pleaded not guilty today and was released on $10 million bail.
Have we learned nothing from Richard Hatch and Wesley Snipes?
Helio Castroneves, the former winner of Dancing with the Stars, was indicted today for federal tax evasion. According to the indictment obtained in Miami, the 33-year-old underpaid the government between 1999-2004.
Helio, along with along with his sister (Katiucia Castroneves) and lawyer, are currently being accused of hiding over $5 million of the race car driver’s earnings. The trio allegedly tried “to conceal and disguise the true and correct amount” by using an offshore Panamanian shell corporation. Each defendant faces charges of conspiracy “for the purpose of impeding, impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful government functions of the Internal Revenue Service.”
According to the Miami Herald, all three are expected to appear in federal court tomorrow morning. Convictions on all counts could equate to approximately 30 years in prison per person.

It’s time once again to congratulate those celebrities entering into parenthood.
- Marisa Nichols: The 24 actress and her husband became first time parents earlier today. Nichols and Taron Lexton, a director, welcomed a baby girl just after 2 AM this morning. Although Rain India Lexton wasn’t expected to arrive until October, she still weighed in at healthy 7 lbs., 5 oz.
- Andrew Firestone: The former Bachelor and his new wife, Ivana, have just announced that they are expecting. This news comes just months after their July wedding. The baby - who was apparently conceived right after the nuptials - is due in mid-April. Andrew, who was once engaged to contestant Jen Schefft, has been with Ivana since early 2005.

Ladies and gents - it’s time once again to recap those celebs currently heading toward parenthood. (Who knew a list written just two weeks ago would already be outdated?)
- Usher: Sources are reporting that the musician and his wife, Tameka Foster, are already expecting their second child. The newlyweds, who were married last fall, welcomed a son, Usher Raymond V, just 10 months ago. With any luck, the two will be saying hello to their first daughter this time around. Otherwise, we may be introduced to Usher Raymond VI sooner than expected.
- Minnie Driver: The 38-year-old Riches star became a first-time mother this past weekend. Henry Story Driver, who weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs., 12 oz., was born Friday in Los Angeles. The unmarried actress has opted against publicly naming the father of her child.

While I find it admirable when someone manages to talk kindly about their ex, I believe there comes a point when we all need to move on. I also think that one should limit the amount of information they divulge - especially when both parties are now involved with other people.
But Jessica Simpson apparently doesn’t share my beliefs, which is why she is (once again) openly talking about her beaus to the media. (Didn’t she almost freak out Tony the last time she got too serious?)

After taking time to meet each other’s families, play tennis and smooch at parties, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are already putting an end to their relationship.
According to Us Weekly, the couple of only three months decided to part ways after attending the Lance Amstrong Livestrong Summit in Ohio over the weekend.
A source tells the magazine that the actress and the cyclist simply realized this was never going to work. “There was no drama or ugliness – They just decided to end things. There is no hatred, just sadness.”
Question now is: Who’s going to rebound first? My money’s on Kate.

Madonna’s Brother Dishes the Dirt

Last week, we told you how Madonna’s brother was attempting to capitalize on the singer’s fame. Now Christopher Ciccone has officially started blabbing about his new tell-all, Life with My Sister Madonna, on the airwaves.
In the first part of his Good Morning America‘s interview, Ciccone nicely defends his older sis on the Alex Rodriguez allegations but then accuses her of using kabbalah to “validate” some of her own bad behavior. He also goes on to label Guy Ritchie a homophobe and blames the director for splitting the siblings apart.

Alex Rodriguez and Wife Reportedly Split

Well, you know what they way—misery does love company.
Today, media attention has slightly shifted away from the Madonna/Guy Ritchie saga and moved on to another troubled couple: Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez. A-Rod recently became the focus of unflattering spotlight when tabloids suggested he was having an affair with the singer.
Although Madonna’s rep denies there is anything more than a friendship between the two, it seems the gossip was more than the baseball player’s wife could handle. According to the New York Daily News, it appears Rodriguez’s five-year marriage may now be over.
In Madonna’s defense, this is not the first time the Yankee has embarrassed his wife in public. Last year, Alex was photographed going into a strip club with a dancer. And while Cynthia apparently chose to forgive her husband (she did temporarily move out of their home), things have supposedly been rocky between the two for several months now. Sadly, the couple just welcomed their second daughter, Ella, back in April.

Last night, the ladies and gents of San Francisco got front row seats to the most appealing thing ever seen at Macy’s.
The Emporio Armani banner - featuring David Beckham in the brand’s underwear - unfurled in front of a large group of gawkers who had no immediate plans to purchase the product...and probably never will. But that’s so nice of Armani to try anyway.
You can more find gratuitous shots of Beckham in his briefs after the jump.
