Conor Kennedy Strikes Plea Deal for Aspen Arrest
Conor Kennedy pled guilty to a misdemeanor in his Aspen nightclub brawl, but he's going to dodge jail time IF he keeps his nose clean.
Conor -- son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Taylor Swift's ex -- had his lawyer enter the plea Wednesday, and the judge gave him a 6 month deferred sentence. That means the arrest will be scrubbed from his record if he stays out of trouble and abstains from booze and drugs over that period.
If not ... he could do time.
Conor was arrested Dec. 29 after getting into a fistfight outside Bootsy Bellows. He said the other guy had called his friend a homophobic slur.
RFK Jr. told People, which first reported the plea deal, he was proud of his son for standing up to bullies.

They did.
Moments ago, Bouchard met up with the guy in Brooklyn -- where they're going to the Nets game together!
Earlier Wednesday, Bouchard said she's a woman of her word -- and hoped the whole thing wouldn't be too awkward.
Good luck!

Matt Stafford Couples Trip to Mexico ... Without Pregnant Wife
Question -- if your wife was pregnant with twins and due next month, would you still go on a couples trip to Mexico without her?
Matthew Stafford just did and his wife couldn't be more supportive.
The Detroit Lions QB is currently in Cabo with Matt Ryan and his wife, Sarah Ryan. The two families are super tight and usually take couples trips together.
Matt's wife, Kelly, didn't make the vacation (we're guessing an international trip so far into the pregnancy isn't the best idea in the world) ... so Matt made the trip without her.
Sarah posted a photo of the gang at dinner. Kelly commented, saying, "Loving everything about this picture except for the fact that I'm not in it and stuck in Michigan."
She added, "Missing all these beautiful people! #jealous."
The twins are reportedly due at the end of March. We're guessing all 4 Staffords will make the trip next year.

The UFC superstar sat down with GQ during a recent trip to L.A. and was asked what he was going to be doing while in town.
"Maybe I’ll search for Khloé's [Kardashian] big fat ass," Conor said.
"She’s been floating around Malibu. I don’t give a f*ck about them [the Kardashians]. I just like to see them in the flesh ... just see what the big fat asses on them look like."
When asked if he admired the Kardashian sisters, Conor said, "Admire? Never. What’s the saying? Never put the p*ssy on a pedestal, my friend. I just want to see it. I want to see them."
Don't worry, Conor also took some shots at Floyd Mayweather -- saying he will destroy the boxing legend if they ever actually fight.
"Honestly, my fist is bigger than his head. I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts. If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers. You understand that?"
"If I crack that little head of his, it’s gonna go clean off his shoulder and up into the bleachers."

"Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done ... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people," Mayweather wrote.
For the record, Dana White has already offered terms -- $25 mil per fight plus a Pay-Per-View split. Floyd laughed it off and never countered.
As for Conor, he's in Vegas -- which he now calls "My City" -- despite the fact Floyd lives there.

"The Howard Stern Show" aired a woman's phone conversation with an IRS agent -- revealing tons of personal information -- but she had no idea it was being broadcast and now she's suing.
Judith Barrigas filed a federal lawsuit over the phone call which aired in May 2015 ... she says by absolutely no fault of her own. According to the suit ... she called the IRS to discuss a pending tax case. The agent Barrigas spoke to -- Jimmy Forsythe -- had called into the 'Stern Show' as a listener and was on hold ... while he took her call.
She says 'Stern Show' producers overheard her convo with Forsythe and decided to put it on the air to 1.2 million listeners -- essentially eavesdropping on her very private and sensitive phone call.
Barrigas says she immediately got a barrage of harassing phone calls and texts ... as she had mentioned her phone number during the call with Forsythe.
She's suing the 'Stern Show,' Howard himself and the United States of America ... aka head honcho of the IRS.

Charles Oakley UNBANNED By Knicks ... Welcome Back to MSG
THE BAN IS OVER!!
Charles Oakley is NO LONGER persona non grata at Madison Square Garden following a peace summit with Knicks owner, James Dolan, on Monday.
Oakley was blacklisted from the arena after he was arrested last Wednesday for getting physical with security.
A PR war ensued and things seemed to be spiraling out of control until Oakley agreed to meet with Dolan in a session moderated by Michael Jordan.
Things seemed to go well because Oakley is welcome back. We're guessing the two sides aren't exactly planning on getting a beer together any time soon, but it's a start.

Oak still faces assault charges resulting from the incident.

'The Bachelorette' Picks Black Woman For First Time
Finally, a black contestant will be handing out the roses -- multiple sources say Rachel Lindsay will be the next 'Bachelorette.'
Rachel is currently 1 of the 6 women still vying for Nick Viall on "The Bachelor," so this is kind of a spoiler -- but The Hollywood Reporter says she'll be calling the shots next time around. It marks the first time a black contestant will be the lead in 21 'Bachelor' seasons and 12 'Bachelorette' seasons.
Our own Bach Nation sources confirmed Rachel -- an attorney from Texas -- is getting the nod ... which seems like super bad news for Nick, and great news for a bunch of yet-to-be-named dudes.
The one thing we'd just about guarantee is she won't find true love. It's beyond rare on these shows.
