Flavor Flav DUI cases are closed

LAS VEGAS

Entertainer Flavor Flav has completed court requirements on misdemeanor driving under the influence cases in Las Vegas and neighboring Henderson.

His lawyer, Kristina Wildeveld, said Wednesday the 57-year-old rapper and reality television star, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., paid his $1,370 in fines, attended classes and stayed out of trouble.

A judge closed the case Tuesday.

Drayton acknowledged in February that he had marijuana residue in his system when police stopped his vehicle last May in Las Vegas.

He also pleaded no contest in January in Henderson to having marijuana metabolite in his system when he was found asleep in a vehicle last August.

‘Glee’ actor dropped

LOS ANGELES

The “Glee” actor charged with receiving and possessing child pornography has been dropped from his latest project.

The writer-director of “Adi Shankar’s Gods and Secrets” says actor Mark Salling is being removed from the miniseries, which stars Denise Richards and Jane Seymour.

Adi Shankar decried the victimization of women and children in a lengthy statement Tuesday announcing Salling’s dismissal. Shankar also said he will fund the necessary reshoots himself and plans to donate a portion of the series’ proceeds to “a charity for abused children.”

Federal officials charged Salling last week with using the internet to obtain pornographic images of underage girls and possessing other child porn videos. If convicted, he could face as much as 20 years in prison for each of the charges.
