THE WIRE actress FELICIA PEARSON has been handed a seven-year suspended prison sentence and three years’ probation after pleading guilty to a drug charge.
The star, who played drug dealer and assassin Snoop in the hit TV series, was among a group of 38 suspects arrested during a sting operation carried out by police in Baltimore, Maryland in March (11).
Pearson initially denied counts of conspiring to sell heroin and aiding and abetting, but struck a deal with Baltimore authorities at the last minute.
Judge Lawrence P. Fletcher-Hill approved the plea deal for a single charge of conspiracy to sell heroin in court on Monday (08Aug11) and gave Pearson the suspended sentence, with credit for time already served while she was awaiting trial.
The 31 year old insists she only agreed to the deal so she could put an end to her legal issues and now she’s planning to relocate to Los Angeles - to move away from her troubled past.
She says, "I have things to do, I have to move on with my life. I’m moving to L.A. I’m out of here, man."

JUDE LAW has won praise following the debut of West End production ANNA CHRISTIE, with critics branding his performance "excellent" and "dazzling".
The Brit stars as an Irish sailor who falls for a former prostitute in the new revival of Eugene O’Neill’s 1920s play, which opened in London’s Donmar Warehouse on Tuesday (09Aug11).
Law has earned rave reviews for his gritty portrayal, with Britain’s Daily Telegraph drama critic Charles Spencer applauding the actor for mastering "humour, tenderness and sudden moments of intense physical and emotional violence".
The Guardian’s Michael Billington calls his turn "excellent" and "the best performance I’ve seen (Law) give", adding: "It’s a breakthrough performance in that it releases Law from the tyranny of always being seen as the good-looking lead man and allows him to become a character actor." Meanwhile, Henry Hitchings of the Evening Standard says Law "exudes a visceral toughness that may just shape an entirely new career path for him", while a review on U.K. theatre website The Stage states, "Proving that he’s a law until himself, Jude is much more than a pretty face and hot body - at 38, his latest return to his theatrical roots is another dazzling affirmation of his riveting abilities as an actor." Law’s stint will run until October (11).

Oscar winner JODIE FOSTER is helping to search for extraterrestrial life after pledging money to save a California science programme.
Scientists at the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute were forced to shut down their fleet of 42 radio dishes, which scan deep space for radio transmissions, due to state budget cuts.
But the Allen Telescope Array is now back online after a group of investors donated more than $200,000 (£125,000) to get the project back on track.
It has since emerged that Foster, who played a SETI scientist in the 1997 movie Contact, is one of those who contributed to the fund, along with former NASA astronaut William Anders, who flew to the moon in 1968 as part of the Apollo 8 mission.
In a note accompanying his donation, Anders writes, "It is absolutely irresponsible of the human race not to be searching for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence."

Nervous DEV PATEL turned to his future girlfriend FREIDA PINTO for advice on how to perfect his Indian accent in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
The pair met while working on the Oscar-winning film, and bonded as Mumbai-born beauty Pinto helped coach the Brit with his Indian twang - advising him to avoid impersonating actors on U.K. comedy show Goodness Gracious Me.
Pinto tells Britain’s InStyle magazine, "With the accent, he was a bit nervous. But all I told him was, ‘Don’t do the whole Goodness Gracious Me thing.’ That just makes it very comical and it’s not required for Slumdog Millionaire." But Pinto wants her boyfriend to return the favour - by teaching her how to be funny on screen.
She adds, "I always tell him that he’s got to teach me. His comic timing is like no other. He’s got it, it’s just effortless."
