Dr. Jan Adams, the non-board certified plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West's mother the day before she died, has been sentenced to one year in jail after rolling over to a charge he drove super drunk last year.
Adams pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of DUI over an incident in the Bay Area last June where he was caught driving the wrong way on a freeway with a blood alcohol level of .20 -- more than twice the legal limit.
Adams will receive eight days credit toward his sentence from the time he served right after he was arrested.

Dr. Jan "Jailbird" Adams -- the dude who operated on Kanye's mom before she died -- showed up at court today to face the music for his latest DUI arrest, but you know the saying about justice delayed ... his case was delayed.
Outside court, Dr. Adams told our photog that he would love to speak to the media, but his lawyer was more into the whole right to remain silent thing. Sound familiar?

An Illinois trust company is giving Kanye West an unwelcome reminder of his mom's death -- they're demanding more than $600K to settle the mortgage on her condo.
According to the creditor's claim, Donda owed more than $600,000 plus interest when she died, and now they want to get it back. They've targeted the estate of Donda to get the jack back, and guess who the co-executor is? Kanye.
Donda died last year with, as TMZ reported, less than $250,000 in cash and without a will.

TMZ caught up with The Game outside of court today, where he sent his condolences to Kanye West -- with whom he collaborated on "Wouldn't Get Far," among other songs.
Game reiterated how close Kanye was with his mother, and that she was "one of those mothers that's always around. Kanye's in the studio, his mom's there ... to lose somebody like that is catastrophic."

Kanye West and his mother Donda appeared only on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" this past May to discuss "Raising Kanye," Donda's book about her experience as his mom and manager. At one point, Ellen asks Kanye if he's a mama's boy -- check out his reaction.
Dr. Donda West spent 31 years as an educator, 24 of those years at Chicago State University, before retiring to become her son's manager. She was only 58 when she died Saturday night.

Dr. Jan Adams is a Discovery Channel regular -- with the channel's website containing videos of him describing how "frighteningly short" recovery for some of his medical procedures can be. Well, we know that!
Donda West chose Adams, who has several DUIs on his record, to perform a tummy tuck and breast reduction last week -- she did not survive it. Frightening indeed.
