Sandra Bullock Ushered Into Hall Of Fame
Sandra Bullock is getting inducted into a hall of fame, but for a special reason that falls outside her remarkable movie career. Warren Easton High School is welcoming the actress into its hall of fame on Friday, May 15, thanks to Bullock's charity work on behalf of the school, which she began supporting in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans. "I feel honored to have been a very small part in the rebuilding of a city that I have loved since I discovered it, and like so many, have taken all it has to offer," Bullock says. "It's only right that I give back to ensure it has a future. And I have fortunately seen some of that future, graduate from Warren Easton." The 'Miss Congeniality' star has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the school, helping fund its scholarship program, new band uniforms and the renovation of the school auditorium. "Bullock's support of Warren Easton did more than improve our facilities," says Arthur Hardy, the school's Hall of Fame Committee Chairman. "She drew attention to our mission of public school education in post-Katrina New Orleans. … Sandra did not attend Warren Easton High School, but we proudly claim her as one of our own."[Read full story on The Insider]

His program will also require frequent drug testing, a 12-step program and counseling, and will last a minimum of a year but could take longer. If he completes the court mandates successfully, two counts against him will be dismissed, but if he fails, he could be sentenced to up to four years in jail. He is due back in court on May 28 for a progress report. This program comes as a result of the young man pleading no contest to methamphetamine possession, related to a September 2008 arrest. At the time of that arrest, he was already on probation for after pleading guilty to a DUI charge in June 2008. Those two cases were combined and the drug court mandates come as a result. Redmond pled not guilty yesterday on a third, drug-related charge and "The Insider" was in the courtroom. He is due back in court on May 22 in that case.[Read full story on The Insider]
