DMX gets seven day sentence for suspended license
The Bronx judge ordered seven days concurrent with a 70 day Queens sentence after rapper Earl Simmons known as DMX pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended license. He was fined 500 dollars and denied probation. The case stems from a April incident when his SUV hit a car that then struck a police vehicle. DMX also faces release-violation issues from 2004 and a separate signed alias. Heidi Fleiss plans Nevada brothel docu series titled Heidi's Stud Farm for HBO. The project will film from a 60-acre Pahrump property with men hired for a female clientele. Fleiss, Hollywood Madam, was released from prison in 1999 after a 21 month sentence for money laundering and related charges. Nye County hosts a legal prostitution framework in several Nevada counties.
