Coolio's Son Sentenced For Hookerific Robbery
Coolio's son Grtis Ivey -- who appeared on the family reality show "Coolio's Rules" -- has just been sentenced to prison for robbing an apartment in Vegas with a lady hooker friend ... and he could be locked up for 10 YEARS.
A rep for the Clark County District Attorney's office tells TMZ, 22-year-old Grtis was sentenced to serve between 42-120 months in prison -- meaning he has to serve at LEAST 42 months ... but if the Nevada Department of Corrections finds good reason, it can hold him for up to 10 years.
As we first reported, Ivey was arrested on November 14, 2011 for busting into a Las Vegas apartment with a gun and forcing the tenant into the bathroom ... while his female prostitute friend ransacked the place.
Ivey agreed to plead guilty to felony robbery -- and in exchange, prosecutors dropped the remaining felony charges.
Ivey has been in custody since his arrest and will receive credit for time served.

'Gigolos' Star Steven Gantt Arrested In Sin City
What started out as a simple speeding violation for "Gigolos" star Steven Gantt turned into a one way ticket to jail ... all thanks to an outstanding arrest warrant.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Gantt, who is a real-life male escort on Showtime's controversial TV show, was pulled over by the Las Vegas Metro Police at around 1:40 AM Friday morning for speeding.
But we're told when cops ran a routine check on the gigolo, they found an active arrest warrant for Open and Gross Lewdness and immediately arrested him. Details about the previous infraction remain unclear (but let your imagination run wild).
Gantt was then sent to Clark County Detention Center for booking and released sometime later.
Sources tell us the reality star was coming from the "Gigolos" premiere party, held at Vince Neil's strip club Girls, Girls, Girls, when cops busted him. We're told he was on his way to pick up some fast food.
Now for the good news -- no speeding ticket.

Prince Harry PHOTO PARANOIA After Naked Romp
Prince Harry realized he made a huge mistake by allowing girls with cameras into his Vegas hotel room Friday night -- because just two days later in Sin City ... he was INCREDIBLY camera shy, refusing to pose for any pics with fans.
TMZ spoke with one of the girls Harry was hanging out with at a pool party Sunday night -- two days after the naked pics were taken -- and when she asked him to pose with her and her friends, Harry politely refused, saying. "No photos please."
It's a big shift in behavior from Friday -- when Harry invited several strange girls into his Vegas suite, and stripped naked in front of their cameras.
It didn't end there either, Harry happily goofed around at Wet Republic the next day -- probably the most photographed pool party in town.
But by Sunday night, Harry had grown tired of all the cameras.
As for his security ... our source says Harry was SURROUNDED -- in fact, she noticed at least 10 handlers around the pool. According to her, one of the security guards was even in the water with a waterproof cell phone (for aquatic emergencies).
But photos or no photos -- our girl says Harry was really flirty ... saying he was glad she made it to the pool party, and nodding to her bikini.
Harry, you dog.

A rep for the bowtie bunch tells TMZ ... "Chippendales at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino are reaching out to the royalty to gauge his interest in being our next guest host."
"We figured that since he seems to enjoy taking his clothes off in Las Vegas, why not do it on stage at the #1 Male Revue in the World."
If (and when) he accepts the offer, Harry would follow in the half-naked footsteps of 98 Degrees singer Jeff Timmons, Joey Lawrence and Ronnie from "Jersey Shore."

Eli Roth I GOT ROOFIED
Eli Roth says he came dangerously close to being taken advantage of by a mother and her daughter in Vegas 5 years ago -- after the insidious duo ROOFIED one of his drinks ... but thankfully, Quentin Tarantino came to his rescue.

As the conversation unfolded, Eli says he began to feel really woozy -- and the mother/daughter tag team offered to bring Eli back to his room.

In Eli's words, "Quentin Tarantino saved me from getting roofied in Vegas."

Prince Harry Royal Fam PISSED at Prince's Handlers
The Royal Family is FURIOUS over the Prince Harry naked photo fiasco ... and the anger isn't directed solely at Harry -- we're told the family is also pointing the finger at the Prince's minders and personal security team.
Here's what we know. The night of the naked Vegas hotel party, Harry was hanging with two male friends ... after some boozing, the group decided to bring a bunch of chicks they had just met back to Harry's VIP suite at Encore.
That's when Harry's people dropped the ball.
When the girls entered the room, we're told the ladies were NOT asked to surrender their phones ... an epic failure considering Harry's well-documented wild side.
As the party fired up, several girls began to snap pics on their cell-phones ... and one of Harry's minders lackadaisically told the women, "awww, come on .. no photos."
Sources who were there tell TMZ ... the minders were asleep at the wheel, enjoying the party more than protecting the Prince from himself.
After more boozing, the clothes came off ... and more photos were taken, in plain view of the handlers, yet Harry's people did nothing.
TMZ spoke with several people in the Las Vegas VIP scene who tell us they see situations like this every day and it could have been easily contained, but as one source put it, "Harry's team acted like a bunch of amateurs."

Ladies, break out your singles ... 'cause coming to the main stage ... in federal court ... the Master of the Mankini ... the Lord of the Lapdance ... ex-Chippendales stud ... Luscious LIND WALTER!!!

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ ... Lind -- a former bodybuilding champ and model -- says he was originally hired in 2008 to be a part of the Chippendales international tour ... and the honchos loved him so much, he was asked to be the star of the resident show in Las Vegas.
