US rapper Bruno Mars will be pleading guilty to cocaine possession charges after his lawyers struck a deal with Nevada prosecutors. Mars – real name Peter Hernandez , was busted by a toilet attendant of all people – doing a cheeky line of Columbian marching powder in the toilets of the Las Vegas Hard Rock Cafe in September last year.
According to Clark County District Attorney David Roger, he’ll cop a sentence of a year of probation and will have to cough up a $2,000 fine, as well as attending drug counselling and performing 200 hours of community service. That’s sure to make his Australian fans all the more keen to offer him a line of the white stuff when he tours here in April, because the tour is going gangbusters since it went on sale at 9am yesterday.
