As expected, Lauryn Hill will soon be behind bars. After pleading guilty last year for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes, the Grammy-winning singer was sentenced to three months in prison today (Monday), plus an additional three months confined to her home.

According to the Associated Press, Hill did have intentions of paying her overdue taxes, but wasn't able to during the time she dropped out of the music business. "I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and I was being denied that," she explained to the judge.

So far she's payed $970,000 to satisfy the state and federal tax liabilities. It remains to be seen when and where she'd report to prison.

Chris Brown sounded off on his ever -changing relationship with Rihanna recently in a radio interview in Australia. The "Kyle and Jackie O Show" asked some tough questions to the pop star who was there promoting his new album. He also talked a lot about his upcoming birthday saying,

"I'm 23, I'm going to be in Vegas, so I want to really see as many girls as possible."

When the crew on the radio show reacted to that with questions of his relationship with Rihanna he responded by saying,

"People have differences, and people have different wants and needs," he continues. "At the end of the day she’s a young girl, I can’t really be focused on wife-ing somebody that young, and I’m young too. I just got to step forward and be the man and be the best Chris Brown I can be instead of worrying about whoever else is going to be in my side pocket."

He even talked about nude photos that had surfaced online.

The singer also opened up about some very revealing selfies that made their way online, where Brown was his usual humble self.

"Oh I’m working with a baby monster, don’t worry about it." Brown responds in the interview.

Needless to say Chris Brown is much more open these days about his personal life. One must wonder whether his relationship with Ri Ri is really over? Or really should we wonder if at this point anyone even believes what either one of them says? Reality is Brown will have a blast celebrating his 24th in Vegas and thats probably all that really matters to the young pop star at this point.

Iron Man 3 sky-rocketed to the top of the box office over the weekend, kicking off Hollywood's summer movie season with $175.3 million. It's the second-biggest film opening of all time. Avengers opened on the same weekend last year with $207.4 million.

Last week's top movie, Pain & Gain, dropped to second place with $7.6 million.

42 remained in third with $6.2 million.

The Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller Oblivion fell from second to fourth with $5.8 million.

The animated film The Croods stayed in fifth with $4.2 million.

The only remaining California team left in the playoffs isn't the expensive Los Angeles Lakers or the trendy "Lob City" Los Angeles Clippers. It is in fact the Golden State Warriors of the bay area. The team that at one time was one of the worst franchises in all of the NBA. No one would have expected this and  in a recent interview with ESPN star point guard Stephen Curry and head coach Mark Jackson discussed their breakthrough season.

In the interview Curry was asked if the doubters bothered him or his teammates, to which he replied,

"It does but we have had the belief all along this season that we could do something special here, obviously our organization hasn't gotten a lot of respect especially amongst our division, but we have had fun in this process."

The interview also focused on the difference Mark Jackson has made as a head coach and the relationship he has with Curry. The interviewer asked of Curry and Jackson's connection through Curry's Dad Dell, who played with coach Jackson years ago. To this they laughed and joked about the one on one games they had against each other when Curry was only 12. Could this be a bond destined for championship greatness? Clearly these two have known each other for years and when that kind of chemistry is coarsing through a team it is very dangerous. The Warriors will lace them up against the Spurs tonight in San Antonio at 6:30 on TNT. Surely this looks to be a very interesting series between these two teams! Keep in mind the Warriors won the season series against the Spurs 3-2. But that was with All Star forward David Lee locking down the "Big Fundamental" Tim Duncan. We'll see how this big time series plays out tonight.
