When 19 year old Rodney Bradford typed in the phrase "Where's my pancakes" on his Facebook status, never in his wildest dream had he an idea of just how important that comment would be for him. Because just the next day, he was arrested. The authorities picked him up as a suspect in a robbery.

However, when his defense lawyer told a Brooklyn assistant district attorney about the entry, which was made at the same time of the robbery, and the district attorney subpoenaed Facebook, who they verified that status update, Mr. Bradford's charges were dropped. You see the status update had actually been typed from a computer located miles away in Harlem.

KATT WILLIAMS:
Katt Williams was not burglarizing anyone and his arrest for same is totally bogus — according to Katts lawyer.

William Briggs told TMZ that Katt was in Georgia shooting a movie, staying at the property of a friend and the movies producer, Barry Hankerson.

Briggs says the reason his client was busted is because he was involved in a dispute with one of Barrys employees who lives in the guesthouse. The vengeful employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary, Briggs says. Briggs adds Katt had full permission to be on the property and has been staying there for the last 3 weeks.

MIKE TYSON:
A pushy paparazzo took a shot he wished he hadnt Wednesday at LAX airport - when he clashed with Mike Tyson - and received a fist to the face that put him on his back.

The incident occurred at Terminal 7 in front of numerous witnesses, according to Los Angeles Airport Police. The paparazzo, who suffered a minor cut to his forehead, was not identified.

43 year old Tyson told investigators that the paparazzo struck him in an apparent attempt to provoke him.

The paparazzo told police that the former heavyweight boxing champion struck him once, where he fell to the ground. He was later treated for a cut to his forehead at a hospital.

Tysons spokeswoman Tammy Brook said the boxer was traveling with his wife and 10-month-old child Wednesday afternoon when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzo. The 43-year-old acted in self-defense to protect his child, she said.

Although Both men wanted to press charges of battery against each other, Tyson was booked for misdemeanor battery, but later released on his own recognizance.
