TV: Rhonetta Johnson = HAM DELUXE

Not only is American Idol audtionee Rhonette Johnson is a HAM DELUXE, she is just DEAD WRONG. If you want to catch her while in NC here is a list of her upcoming court apperances.

Two months before the American Idol auditions rolled into Greensboro, North Carolina in October of 2005, Johnson was arrested in the Charlotte area. She was charged with DWI, driving with a revoked license, open container, and providing fictitious information to an officer which, given her rather dubious claim of being 5' 7" and 165 lbs, might account for the later charge.

Nearly two months after Simon, Paula, Randy, and Ryan left Greensboro, Rhonetta was arrested again. On November 26, 2005 she was charged with DWI and all the rest of the offenses previously listed and for good measure she added larceny, disorderly conduct, communicating threats, and resisting arrest into the mix. She also claimed to be two inches shorter (likely) and 30 lbs lighter (highly unlikely) than she was when arrested in August 2005. It's worth noting that she was also charged with providing fictitious information to an officer in the later arrest as well.

Since two DWI convictions are likely to leave Rhonetta with an impounded car and no chance at having a drivers license any time soon (which hasn't stopped her recently), she'll have to do a lot more street walking in the future.

One of her charges is for indecent exposure!

If you want to see Rhonetta she will be making personal appearances at the Mecklenburg and Cabarrus County courthouses on the dates below:

Enjoy the return of Janet !

Jimmy Jam promises that the set will boast a small tribute to Jackson's 1986 effort, Control. "It's a milestone year for us and for the collaboration," Jam tells Billboard.com. "It'll be 20 years since the release of Control, so there's definitely a little bit of a nod to that on the new album."

Some of the album was recorded at Jackson boyfriend Jermaine Dupri's studio. Dupri, who is president of Virgin Urban, is also executive producer of the album.
