Sly Stone[/b] could get off scot-free on cocaine charges ... because he's copped a plea that will keep him out of jail.

Under the deal, Sly, who has already put in 30 days of in-patient rehab, must complete an additional 60 days.

Stone pled no contest in court today and the judge imposed the sentence.  If Stone completes his rehab on time, the judge will dismiss the case outright and there will be no probation.

Sly's lawyers James E. Silverstein and Peter Knecht tell TMZ, "We are very pleased with the outcome of this case."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
