Jennifer Capriati Goes to Van Halen Concert with Mike Malin

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 | Sports, Trends with No Comments »

Jennifer CapriatiTMZ has learned that Mike and buddy Jennifer Capriati (yes, that Jennifer Capriati) went to the Van Halen concert last week. After the show, the two headed back to Les Deux — which Malin co-owns. We’re told Malin went onto the roof to adjust some Christmas decorations when he misstepped — and his leg went through a skylight. Jump! We’re told he did not fall all the way through, and the two were laughing hysterically about the incident. Jennifer apparently “rescued” him by pulling him back onto the roof … using her strong backhand!

Jennifer Capriati also is slated to participate in the Juliette Falls Golf & Spa Community Celebrity Pro-Am on Saturday, November 10.

Michael Vick Sentenced to 23 Months in Jail

060927_michaelvick_vmed_5pwidec.jpgMichael Vick was sentenced to prison Monday for running a dogfighting operation and will stay there longer than two co-defendants, up to 23 months, because he lied about his involvement when he was supposed to be coming clean to the judge who would decide his fate.

The disgraced NFL star received a harsher sentence than the others in the federal conspiracy case because of “less than truthful” statements about killing pit bulls.

Vick said he accepted responsibility for his actions, but U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said he wasn’t so sure.
