The California Highway Patrol recommended yesterday that Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for that crash last month that ended in a fatality. The CHP is saying in a report that she broke the law by driving at a speed “greater than is reasonable or prudent” or that “endangers the safety of persons or property.” If convicted she’d serve a maximum sentence of 1 year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
She should’ve just done what I do when I get arrested: bat my eyes and playfully push my chest together while purring “Oh, officer…” Keep in mind this only works if you’re stunningly handsome like I am, so I guess if Brandy tried it they’d mistake her for an extraterrestrial and have her shipped off to a lab.

Reading the original story, it sounds like it was a serious tragedy. I’m sure her guilt at not paying attention is far worse than anything anyone else could dream up.
lstar28 | January 30, 2007 at 9:08 am
Yeah she’ll probably get slapped on wrist and fined and made to do community hours. Meh celebrities don’t go to jail except for Martha Stewart she goes to jail and makes it look GOOD!
Tuesday | January 30, 2007 at 9:08 am
she’s also facing deportation, i think it’s to one of jupiter’s moons.
Jenster | January 30, 2007 at 9:11 am
Good, I’m all for ET going to the slammer.
You kill someone; directly or indirectly, you go to jail, its that easy.
Ramdonomo | January 30, 2007 at 9:11 am
lstar28, considering the MAXIMUM sentence is a year in jail and $1000 fine, I don’t think there would be a whole lot of consequences anyway.
Ramdonomo | January 30, 2007 at 9:13 am
((You kill someone; directly or indirectly, you go to jail, its that easy.))
‘It’s that easy’? Oy, I’m leaving before the stupid consumes me. Honestly. What a dumbshit, blanket statement to make.
CCClub | January 30, 2007 at 9:16 am
Maybe they will be lenient when learning that she volunteered her “jaws” to help free other trapped survivors at the scene.
Opened up that car door like tinfoil.
Tracy | January 30, 2007 at 9:16 am
…and faster than you can say, “200 hours of community service,” this will all be over.
Jay from the Bay | January 30, 2007 at 9:16 am
Wasn’t she text messaging at the time of the accident? If that’s just not an absolute disregard for the lives of everyone on the road, what is? I’m sure it brings so much peace to the family of the victim to know their loved ones life was worth a maximum of $1,000 and a year in jail. Disgusting. Brandy can go straight to hell.
anothershityear | January 30, 2007 at 9:19 am
#3 that’s not deportation, she has an escape-route back to her home-planet in case of a conviction
sitara | January 30, 2007 at 9:19 am
I’m honestly surprised that vehicular manslaughter carries a maximum of one year — in county jail, no less, not prison.
In any case, Brandy, please don’t sing a tribute to the dead woman. :P (I have the opening ‘To the left’ of Beyonce’s Irreplaceable in my head atm, and it lends itself way too well to tasteless car-crash lyrics.)
llllllllll | January 30, 2007 at 9:20 am
Can she look anymore like an octopus? Her eyes are so spaced apart that you would literally break your fingers trying to do a poke the eyes out three stooges move on her.

#4 “You kill someone; directly or indirectly, you go to jail, its that easy.”
no. it’s not.
it really, is not.
heyheyhey | January 30, 2007 at 9:21 am
Jesus, #9, you need to calm down and pick up a law book. She didnt intentionally run the person over, NO ONE would get the book thrown at them for this. Sheesh, just stupid…what’s all this misdirected anger at celebrities for? “She can go straight to hell”??? Therapy. You definitely need therapy.
gambitzero | January 30, 2007 at 9:24 am
One Year? That’s all she might get. One Year? She should get a dozen just for having a head that would scare children and old ladies. That is way too lenient. I say, up against the wall and start counting backwards from 5.
Oh and a fine for the manslaughter thing. That’ll show her!
Lowlands | January 30, 2007 at 9:28 am
I guess when she got out,she forgot to put her boobs together in front of this gay officer.Next step,try to present your greatest smile in front of the judge.

How about just charging her with being a man?

i remember, she was kind of cute for around 11 minutes some years ago

that was before the tarantula-people injected some kind of experimental DNA-altering fluid into her, killing off Brandy and turning her into…. well, whatever the fuck the thing in today’s pic is

All I can say about this is that I don’t really care. Absolutly nothing is going to happen to her. She is not even required to appear in court to offer her plea, nor for sentencing. She really is just going to get a slap on the wrist.
On another note…….That is just about the worst picture of Brandy I have EVER seen. I was actually, phisically scared when i scrolled down to the picture. My brain does not even know what to do right now. I think I am going to have nightmares of Brandy as “It”

These Hollywood-types are immune to serious prosecution in L.A., same way the politicians are in Washington. Remember that Kennedy last year who got drunk and slammed into the barrier outside Congress? The police escorted him home.
It’s disgusting. Brandy will plead down and do zero-time and everybody knows it.

Wouldn’t you just love to wake up with morning wood, look down, and see that face and those teeth heading for Mr.Happy ?
Sweet tunderin’ jeezus! Your dick would fall off and crawl under the bed to get away
HollyJ | January 30, 2007 at 9:56 am
Forget the accident… she should be in prison for having eyes further apart than a hammerhead.

Did the Fish writer just admit to having manboobs?

Geeez… her mouth is so big, she looks like one of those flipping head Canadians on South Park.
Uuuuuunclefucker!
jesseeca | January 30, 2007 at 11:03 am
who texts while they drive?
considering a lot of states have hand’s free cellphones laws, it doesn’t make much sense to be texting while driving considering that’s 10000 times more distracting.
meee | January 30, 2007 at 11:30 am
what a fucking bitch. our cjus system is disappointing.
THUNDER | January 30, 2007 at 11:33 am
It was a tragic accident. PERIOD! She wasn’t drunk, nor was she on drugs. If Brandy goes to jail, then so should that guy from Prison Break, who was drunk and high and killed a seventeen year-old boy.
Mo | January 30, 2007 at 11:41 am
I just wish she hadn’t hit innocent people. Why wasn’t it Hasselhoff?
N@ughty | January 30, 2007 at 11:43 am
Are you serious? only manslaughter? what happens after she’s found innocent cause she’s some sort of “celebrity” (by the way, her last CD didn’t sell too good cause she’s a has-been)? does she just pay a fine and that’s it? she took someone’s life for crying out loud! manslaughter isn’t the word. how about “Dumb, DUI and just plain not thinking”? don’t they place ppl like that in the lunatic asylum?
~N@ughty
N@ughty | January 30, 2007 at 11:48 am
another thing i would like to add…Lil’ Kim went to jail for a year and a DAY for NOT doing anything. no…she went to jail for NOT snitching. now if Lil’ Kim was sentenced to jail that quick for NOT snitching, don’tcha think that Brandy’s case would have taken about oh…3 minutes?
nicholelibra | January 30, 2007 at 12:03 pm
#40- ????? They just don’t lock people up for doing nothing. It’s called perjury. She lied to a grand jury. If she wasn’t sitting there trying to cover everyone elses’ ass instead of her own she wouldn’t have had that problem. Imagine how you would feel if you lost a loved one to gun violence and their murderer walked free because no one “snitched” on them.
Juliabella | January 30, 2007 at 12:03 pm

whitegold | January 30, 2007 at 12:14 pm
I’m confused. From what I understand this was 100% her fault?! The police would be all over any non-celebrity in a heart beat if they did this! She quite literally killed someone cuz of her own negligence. So the CHP “recommended” she be charged. As if there is something to consider her?! And seriously, vehicular manslaughter only gets you a max 1 year sentence and $1K fine? Geez, if I want to kill someone, I know how I’m gonna do it. “Oh, sorry officer, it was a total accident, I didn’t see them standing there.”
jesseeca | January 30, 2007 at 12:22 pm
it’s just a little annoying when someone hits you (and damages your car)because they’re not paying attention while driving because they’re too busy texting or talking on the cell phone. yeah, sorry for being annoyed about #43, my bad & sorry for cutting into your social time!
mztry | January 30, 2007 at 12:27 pm
In this case there are no winners… only losers. A life can be lost because someone blinks at the wrong time.
Kill or be killed… get your lives in order people… it could be YOU next time in EITHER of these positions.
Jay from the Bay | January 30, 2007 at 12:35 pm
@14 – No, Brandy did not walk to her car with the explicit intention of killing the specific woman she killed. My point was that she was text massaging while driving which caused the accident. Anyone who causes an accident by doing things while driving that they shouldn’t be doing (i.e., text messaging) can go straight to hell. How would you react if someone in your family was killed for no reason other than Brandy needs to text message her pimp?
BTW, I already have my JD. Further, not using a hands-free device while driving is already illegal here in CA so suck it.
wedgeone | January 30, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Using a cell phone while driving for ANY purpose should be a misdemeanor. Studies and tests show that using a cell phone while driving is the equivalent of driving while drunk. Lots of folks get a DUI and end up paying more of a penalty than this freak will.
To top it off, she caused someone to die as a result of her using the cell phone. How they look at this manslaughter charge as a misdemeanor is beyond me.
#33 – yes, Mr. Fish did talk about pushing his boobs together. Never works if you’re a guy. Not even when the cop is a chick.
