have ya'll heard the news on Obie???

here is the link: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/n...ey/5583321.htm

I just don't know what to think about this? Is this true? I mean why did it take so long for it to come out? I would think it would be all over Mtv, Vh1 and all the other entertainment news long before now. And it even hasn't been reported on those stations. He is with Bon Jovi...so this is consider sort of big news...it was sentanced in 2001 and he is just now going to jail??

Okay I know these two are actually the stars but with Rob Lowe and RKelly they were all over the news before it even hit the courts.

Another thing, I just can't picture Obie doing that. I'm not saying he is an angel or above that ...but come on...I'm not trying to mean but ya'll seen him. He is a funny guy but...... Oh well, he is "a part of Bon Jovi", I supposed that would be enough for some girl to go for it. Just please tell me that he didn't tape it. Hello, what is it with some famous people and taping some illegal sex acts.
What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are something just doesn't click right with me. maybe once it is on the big news or something...but until then...I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

I am going to see what the Oompas have to say.

Go and have a look what the idiots on backstage are saying "the girl's lying", "Obie's not like that" blah blah blah. No one even dares comment on what he allegedly did on the board, they have to send each other PM's like children whispering in the playground.

I noticed. It gets annoying reading their posts, 2 pages of running around the issue and people begging each other for private messages.

I left my question with the Oompas tonight and I'll see what happens.

I am helping those over at backstage discuss Obie's problems.

Good. I think they need therapy. The first step is denial.

Wow! This is totally incredible.. I mean, for having sex with a 15-year old your freedom can be taken away from you for 3-5 years!!!!!!

Some fan begs for it. She does anything in the world to get near his idols, even the 52-year old sound engineer. She doesn't get to meet band members -> hatered for Obie -> court -> incredible sentence.

It's just so... american.

if you look like Bill Gates, have sex with young girls, you deserve to go to prison!

the article is not true. Obie is not going to jail and was never in jail! Please respect his privacy and his feelings by not speculating on the issue any further. I know he would appreciate it. thanks a lot.

where did you come from? backstage?
