SENTENCED: Jason Mewes, 28, who played a stoned slacker in such Kevin Smith films as "Clerks" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," has been ordered by a New jersey judge to complete drug rehabilitation or face jail, after he surrendered and pleaded guilty on Tuesday to probation violation charges.

If he violates parole again, he faces up to five years in prison.

DIED: Nashville-born soul singer Edwin Starr, 61, whose 1970 hit "War" denounced conflict as good for "absolutely nothing," has died of a heart attack at his home in central England, his manager tells Reuters.

BOUGHT: "Chicago" Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Renee Zellweger has purchased what is described by the New York Observer as a modest, 2,200-sq.-ft., 1880s two-story farmhouse in East Hampton Village, N.Y. She paid nearly $2 million for it, says the newspaper. "It's genuinely old, and it hasn't been meddled with," a broker said. The Los Angeles Times recently reported that Zellweger, 33, also bought a house in California's tony Bel Air neighborhood last year for $6.8 million and put a $7.5 million "for sale" sign on it this February.
