Rapper Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, served three years in prison for assaulting a Georgia woman. Today she was ordered to fork over $3.7 million to the victim.
In 2007, Harris and former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens were at a Halloween party when they got into an altercation.
Harris grabbed a bottle of rum and hit Stevens in the head causing serious injury. Harris was arrested and charged with aggravated felony assault. In 2008 she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison, seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service by DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gail Flake.
Shayla Stevens (left) was awarded $3.7 million in a civil suit against Da Brat.
In 2009 Stevens filed a civil suit against Harris for causing permanent facial scarring, neurological impairment, and severe mental pain.

Da Brat is not catching any breaks today. After the initial $3.7 million judgement was handed down, TMZ reports that the jury added an additional $2.7 million on as added punishment. The rapper now has to find a way to pay the victim $6.4 million, which covers her losses in wages and future earnings

Paula Patton and Robin Thicke have split up after 9 years of marriage. The two issed a statement announcing their separation to People.com.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,"
Thicke was involved in a couple of controversial moments with other females on the night of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
The first involved his performance with Miley Cyrus at the show, where she twerked on him and used a foam finger to touch his private parts.
Then at a VMA after party he snapped a photo with a blonde women. In it his hand can be seen grabbing her butt.
Who knows if those incidents played a factor into the couple's split, but I'm sure they didn't help.
**UPDATE** February 27
Paula Patton initially tried to hide her embarrassment after her husband's 2013 MTV Video Music Award performance with Miley Cyrus.
The actress gave a couple of interviews saying she wasn't surprised at what she saw, and that Robin and Miley had practiced their routine days in advance of the August 25, 2013 show
"Honestly, they rehearsed for three days beforehand, and I don't know how not to dance with someone having their booty in your...all my friends do it like that," Paula said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, in September 2013. "And I don't really know what the big deal is."
Turns out it was a really big deal. According to TMZ, Miley improvised the raunchy part of the routine and Robin just went with the flow.
Paula felt "utterly disrespected" watching Robin let Miley grind on his crotch in front of a national television audience.
Things got worse when the photo of Robin grabbing a female fan's butt at the after party surfaced. The couple argued constantly after the incidents until Paula finally decided to end their marriage.

Justin Bieber fled California to get away from constant problems, but his move to Atlanta doesn't appear to have helped him exorcise his personal demons.
TMZ reports that the singer's weed and lean use are out of control. Justin developed an addiction to sizzurp while in Cali. His team kept him busy though, which didn't allow him as much free time as he now has in Atlanta.
According to the report, sources close to Justin say he rarely leaves the house and is, "Drinking more lean, smoking more weed than ever."
Justin's lean sipping brand of choice is Activis prometh with codeine cough syrup. A brand TMZ calls the "champagne of sizzurp." It costs around $800 a pint. That's chump change to the pop star whose net worth is around $130 million.
In 2013 Forbes ranked Justin No. 9 on their list of The World's Most Powerful Celebrities. Hopefully someone will be able to save him from himself before he throws away all he's worked hard to achieve.

50 Cent stands with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch on pit road before Sunday's Daytona 500.
Video And Pics After The Jump
Written by Jay Pennell for Fox Sports
When hip-hop artist, actor, philanthropist and entrepreneur 50 Cent visited Daytona International Speedway for the 2014 Daytona 500, he was mostly questioned about last year's awkward encounter with reporter Erin Andrews during the Daytona 500 pre-race show on FOX.
Yet, the rapper's second consecutive year of attending The Great American Race entailed more than reflections on his 2013 experience.
Last year, 50 Cent -- whose real name is Curtis Jackson -- was at Daytona as a guest, taking in the sights and sounds of NASCAR's biggest race. He sat on Mark Martin's pit box, nearly kissed Andrews on the live FOX broadcast, and then went back to his world of hip-hop, SMS Audio and being an overall badass.
But here's the thing: 50 Cent did what other celebrities from outside the NASCAR world often don't do: He came back. And he also got more involved.
Jackson's company, SMS Audio, signed an exclusive partnership with Swan Racing, and drivers Cole Whitt and Parker Kligerman, to serve as an associate sponsor for the next two seasons.
In the world of NASCAR, that's a huge commitment, and it shows 50 Cent is here for more than just a free trip to the Daytona 500.
"When we have a sport big enough to for someone like 50 (Cent) to take knowledge of what we have here and what we have to showcase, it says a lot about our sport," Whitt said. "At the end of the day, I'm here for my sport and what's best for it. Attracting these kinds of sponsors -- SMS Audio, Speed Stick Gear on our car -- that's the kind of stuff that can make this industry go to the next level."
"I've already won (by) being here. Do you see anyone from my genre of music?" the rapper asked rhetorically during his latest Daytona visit. "It creates a separation and allows me to have the 70 million loyal fans that watch NASCAR to take notice of SMS Audio and 50 Cent and recognize my vision.
"It's a great cross for me," he added. "I feel like I'm in the right place."
And 50 Cent spent plenty of time in Daytona this past weekend. He first arrived on Friday for FOX's Bash at the Beach, followed by a team dinner with Swan Racing.
He hit the Sprint Cup Series garage bright and early Saturday morning, touring the No. 26 team's garage with Kligerman, asking many questions about the cars, before strapping in for a 'hot lap' around Daytona for three laps, including a simulated pit stop.
On the day of the race, he was formally recognized at the drivers meeting, accompanied Whitt and Kligerman to driver introductions, mingled with drivers such as Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Danica Patrick and Kurt Busch, and was interviewed with the Miss Sprint Cup girls by Michael Waltrip during the FOX pre-race show.
He then watched the start of the race from the No. 26 team's pit box, before switching to the No. 30 pit box after about 30 laps.
Although he had to leave the race during the rain delay, he closely followed developments and let his Twitter followers know the action was back on FOX when the track drying efforts were complete.
This all sounds like a great celebrity visit, but how can 50 Cent help grow NASCAR in ways other celebrities may not?
By attending his second Daytona 500 this past weekend, he may have helped bring NASCAR to an entirely fresh, young and diverse group of people.
Just consider 50 Cent's social media reach. He currently has 7.39 million Twitter followers. Remember, NASCAR just celebrated the fact Danica Patrick reached the one million mark and that Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s following has grown to from 230,000 followers to more than 500,000 in just two days.
An Instagram video of a Swan Racing pit stop posted by 50 Cent received more than 15,300 likes. An image of him and Whitt received more than 23,800 likes. Another picture of him in the garage garnered over 35,7000 likes. You get the picture.

The key market demographic that NASCAR often targets with specific marketing campaigns and the Drive for Diversity program are listening to 50 Cent, and following his moves on social media.
To put it another way: If 50 Cent sends a NASCAR-related tweet, he reaches more people than anyone inside the sport. And, ultimately, he's reaching the right people -- a very diverse non-NASCAR fan base.
"As I get more chances to speak more about the actual (NASCAR) experience, the more interested people will be about coming out. You just have to lead by example," Jackson told FOXSports.com. "People don't understand (NASCAR), and people usually go against what they don't understand. They haven't experienced it. When they get a chance to come out, it'd be different. The other half of the stands would be full."
50 Cent greets NASCAR fans
Jackson's first exposure to NASCAR came long before he knew anything about the sport. As a child, he already had an attachment to racing, through the cars he was given as toys.
"I've always had a chance to watch on television, but when I experienced my last trip on my first visit here last year, it's an entirely different experience," he said. "I think those at home need to get out and see an actual race at some point, because it's a whole different energy and feeling connected to hearing the cars go by, and feeling the actual cars go by."
And if that doesn't work out, 50 Cent offered this tidbit of knowledge to his friends and counterparts after last year's trip to the Daytona 500.
"Honestly, I told them the women are extremely hot, and ... outside of going to church, maybe, you can find good women in NASCAR," he said.
While you might not be seeing NASCAR logos on the next 50 Cent album to drop (Animal Ambition), and it's unlikely 50 Cent will be featured in the next NASCAR commercial, him talking about the sport and attending races can potentially go a long way toward bringing NASCAR to a whole new generation of fans.
