As Paris Hilton was leaving jail, another celebrity was about to come in, also in Los Angeles, California.
Tom Sizemore, best known for battle-hardened film roles in “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down,” was sentenced on Monday to 16 months in prison for violating his probation in a drug possession case.
Is he crying over his “prosthetic penis?”Â
The 45-year-old actor admitted in court last week to violating his probation on a previous felony drug conviction and tearfully pleaded with the Los Angeles Superior Court judge for leniency, begging her, “If you would please just give me one more chance for myself.”
Sizemore was on three years probation when he was arrested May 8 outside a California hotel on suspicion of methamphetamine possession.
The actor’s probation for a previous methamphetamine possession conviction was revoked in 2005 when he admitted to using a prosthetic penis in a bid to fake a urine test. (A prosthetic penis? Could be his own is malfunctioning already?)
But he checked into a psychiatric hospital for treatment of chronic depression and drug dependency, which a doctor said he has battled for years, and a judge later reinstated his probation.
What man wouldn’t suffer from chronic depression if he has to use a prosthetic penis?
