Lauryn Hill Sentenced for Tax Evasion

Lauryn Hill pleaded guilty last year to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. The Grammy-winning singer stood in federal court Monday for sentencing. Monday's sentencing took into account unpaid state and federal taxes in 2008 and 2009 that brought Hill’s total earnings to about $2.3 million.

Despite having paid more than $900,000 in the past several days, Hill still owes interest and penalties, the U.S. attorney's office said. U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo sentenced her to three months in prison for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.

R.I.P. Donna Summer

Disco Queen Donna Summer, a five-time Grammy award winner famous for 1970s hits like "Hot Stuff" and "She Works Hard for the Money," died on Thursday May 17, 2012 in Florida after a long battle with lung cancer. She was 63.

The Queen of Disco ruled the dance floors with anthems like “Last Dance,” “Love to Love You Baby” and “Bad Girl,”. Always in demand, the Pop diva performed during the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo December 11, 2009 and was in Las Vegas with the David Foster and Friends concert at the Mandalay Bay Events Center October 15, 2010. Her music lives on.

Rest in Peace Donna Summer.
