Dubbed “Act III: A Conversation Around ‘Three Chords and the Actual Truth,’” the event was presented by the Black Music Action Coalition and the org’s co-founder, president, and CEO, Willie “Prophet” Stiggers.

Oil heir Jason Davis has avoided a jail sentence after drug charges against him were dropped this week (ends18Sep11).

The grandson of billionaire businessman Marvin Davis, who has appeared on U.S. reality TV show Celebrity Rehab, worked out an agreement to have the charges dismissed if he enrolled in a drug diversion program.

Prosecutors held up their end of the bargain after Davis completed the program this week, reports TMZ.com.

The troubled socialite had been facing three years behind bars after he was arrested in January for alleged drug possession.

In April, he pleaded not guilty to heroin possession, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He's been clean one year and says he's a changed man. Now, The Hills and Laguna Beach alum Jason Wahler - who had a string of drunk driving arrests and stints in rehab - is making strides with his personal life as well. "I wanted to make amends with Lauren [Conrad]," he says of his ex-girlfriend. "She was a big part of my life and there's stuff that happened in the past with my drunken ways that I needed to address." Wahler, 24, currently works in Costa Mesa, Calif., at National Therapeutic Services as a mentor and sober companion. "It feels good to give back,...

Brandon Davis is now in the same boat as his brother Jason ... facing felony drug charges. Runs in the family! As TMZ first reported, "Greasy Bear" was arrested outside the Roosevelt Hotel on April 27 for allegedly punching comedian Ben Gleib . Cops found cocaine when they searched Davis during the arrest -- and slapped him with the felony. Davis was charged this week with one count of felony possession of a controlled substance and one misdemeanor count of battery.

Socialite Brandon Davis (brother of Celebrity Rehab‘s Jason Davis) is best known for calling Lindsay Lohan a “firecrotch” and (allegedly) tweeting that ex Mischa Barton was one of the “fattest people on the planet.” So forgive us if we’re not shocked that the guy was picked up by police in Hollywood last night. According to TMZ, Brandon—already 86′ed from one club, punched comedian Ben Gleib (a Chelsea Lately regular) at the Roosevelt Hotel. Cops reportedly found cocaine on Davis, and promptly scooted him off to Hollywood Pd, where he hopefully remains. The champ is charged with battery and possession of a controlled substance, though we’re sure a helicopter filled with money has already been sent to remedy the situation.

Now he has been formally charged for the offence, and was also charged with misdemeanours of being under the influence of a controlled substance and possessing drug paraphernalia, reports TMZ.com.

According to legal documents from the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Davis was allegedly high on a "central nervous system stimulant (prescription medication) and narcotic analgesic (painkillers)" at the time he was arrested.

He faces up to three years behind bars if he is convicted of all the charges.

Following his arrest Davis released a statement accusing his family members of calling cops and releasing details to the press in a bid to boost their own public image.

Troubled U.S. oil heir Jason Davis has slammed his relatives in a bitter statement following his recent drugs bust, suggesting a member of his own family planted narcotics in his home.

The grandson of billionaire businessman Marvin Davis was arrested in Newport Beach, California on Thursday night. He is now facing a charge of possession of a controlled substance and has been released on $20,000 (£13,330) bail, reports TMZ.com.

According to the website, Davis fired off a statement after his release in which he accuses his family of calling cops and releasing details of his arrest to the press in a bid to boost their own public image.

Davis says, "I am shocked that my family would once again alert the police, and media, about a personal family matter simply to promote their own public image. You don't see Charlie Sheen's family calling the cops on him."

And he believes the drugs found by cops may have been part of a cruel set up, adding, "Authorities are investigating whether a certain family member planted the drugs in my home."

Davis' arrest came a day after he appeared on a live reunion episode of Celebrity Rehab, on which he starred last year in a bid to get professional help for his addictions. On the show, which aired in the U.S. on Wednesday, he insisted he had been clean since completing treatment.

U.S. oil heir Jason Davis has been arrested on suspicion of drug possession, a day after declaring he was clean during a live episode of hit reality show Celebrity Rehab.

The grandson of billionaire businessman Marvin Davis was a patient on counsellor-to-the-stars Dr. Drew Pinsky's TV treatment show, which saw him receive help fighting his drink and drug demons at the Pasadena Recovery Center last year.

A live reunion episode of Celebrity Rehab aired in the U.S. on Wednesday, when Davis claimed he had managed to stay sober.

But he appears to have slipped back into his wild ways and was picked up by cops in Newport Beach, California on Thursday night.

He is facing a charge of possession of a controlled substance and has been placed on $20,000 (£13,330) bail, reports TMZ.com.

And Dr. Pinsky has offered his support to Davis in the hope his arrest will prompt him to return to rehab to conquer his troubles once and for all.

He tells the website, "Jason was honest about his struggles with his sobriety on the reunion show. Hopefully, now that there are legal consequences, further treatment will be mandated, which he so desperately needs. As I said when I saw him Wednesday, we care for him very deeply and we are here for him."...

Jason Davis, brother of socialite loser Brandon Davis, was arrested last night in Newport Beach, CA for posession of a controlled substance.

According to TMZ, the live reunion show for Celebrity Rehab took place yesterday and he claimed to be clean. He must have had one hell of a celebration party, I guess.

He's been locked up in the past for heroin possession. He is currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Dr. Drew must be pisseddd.
