The Game is Up!

The Game has pleaded no contest to a felony charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone.

After he entered his plea, a Los Angeles County judge immediately sentenced him to 60 days in jail, 150 hours of community service and three years probation.

The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, faced three felony counts for making criminal threats and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of a peace officer. Two counts were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

In February 2007, Taylor allegedly got into a heated altercation with a player from an opposing team during a pick-up basketball game at a school in South L.A. After allegedly punching the other player, prosecutors said Taylor then pulled a gun from his Escalade and threatened to shoot the victim.

He has until March 3 to turn himself in.

34. I wonder how the Game will do. I assume he will be in isolation during the 2 days he serves - over crowding in SO CA. prisons. He has some talent and a lot of connections. Maybe he will kick back on selling the shoes and get back to music - and stop lying about his conquests. Wow, that was actually positive - time to go to Lohan - I want to vomit.

38. Will our classy, distinguished role models through out Hollywood, NY, etc... please stand up?
Please?
Please come forward?
Are there any?
Still waiting!!!
.....obviously there is no such thing!
I believe it's time for us to look elsewhere and quit giving them attention. Let's start acknowledging good behavior! Perhaps it will start a trend and they will have to do something 'noteworthy' to be in the press!
