Michael Douglas is speaking out about his 31-year-old son Cameron's recent 5 year jail sentence, which he received after dealing methamphetamine, conspiring to sell crystal meth and for heroin possession. With some saying his son should have received a 10-year sentence, the actor insinuated on the Today Show that he didn't receive any special treatment, saying, “I don’t think a lot of people said [that Cameron received a celebrity sentence]. One particular newspaper here in New York was pretty mean-spirited and vindictive about the whole process.” Guess we know which newspaper he's talking about!

Cameron Douglas Awaits Prison Address
Cameron Douglas has been sentenced to five years behind bars for his drug dealings, but it's unclear where he'll spend that time. According to the Daily News, he may not immediately qualify for the minimum-security prison camp his lawyers requested. The Post adds, "In a desperate letter made public this afternoon, defense lawyers pleaded with Judge Richard Berman to instead ask the Bureau of Prisons that Douglas, 31, be sent to the federal prison at Fort Dix, N.J." This move would allow him to see his long-time shrink and visit with family—but the judge says they lost their chance to make a new location request, which they had ample opportunity to do during sentencing. Currently Douglas awaits his fate in a federal lockup in Manhattan.
Cameron Douglas Gets 5 Years Behind Bars
Yesterday 31-year-old Cameron Douglas, the son of actor Michael Douglas, received a sentencing of five years in prison after being busted on some drug-related charges (like that time he was caught with half-a-pound of crystal meth at the Gansevoort Hotel). In January he pleaded guilty to possession of heroin (while under house arrest), and distribution of methamphetamines and cocaine.
Cameron Douglas' Sentencing Will Be Public
Despite a plea for Cameron Douglas' April 20th sentencing to be private, a judge has ruled that both the sentencing and a plea for leniency from Michael Douglas must be kept public. Douglas has already been denied house arrest for dealing crystal meth. He pleaded guilty to the charge and now faces a minimum of 10 years in prison. No word yet on how his relationship with Kelly "Toothbrush Smuggler" Sott is going.
Douglas's Girlfriend Remains Behind Bars
While the spotlight has been on Cameron Douglas, actor Michael's son, for his drug dealings—we've all but forgotten about his girlfriend Kelly Sott. The 33-year-old not only delivered him heroin in an electric toothbrush when he was under house arrest, but she also played a role in his methamphetamine racket. She's currently awaiting sentencing, which will take place next week—and has decided to stay behind bars until then. Perhaps in solidarity with her man? Sott faces 6 months to a year in jail, and has already spent 7 months there, according to the Post, while Douglas faces a minimum of 10 years. We're guessing this relationship isn't going to last.
Cameron Douglas Denied House Arrest
The drug-dealing spawn of actor Michael Douglas, 31-year-old Cameron, will remain behind bars until his sentencing in April. He faces up to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to dealing crystal meth and cocaine. A Manhattan federal judge denied bail yesterday saying he couldn't be trusted on house arrest (last time they tried that his girlfriend delivered him heroin in an electric toothbrush).
Cameron Douglas's Narc Secret Spilled In Court
Cameron Douglas, son of actor Michael Douglas, was going to be a narc! He was busted with half a pound of meth at the Gansevoort Hotel last year and placed under house arrest, where his girlfriend then smuggled him heroin. Yesterday at a bail hearing his shrink let slip that he was only ever released to house arrest "because he was going to be an informant." The statement was stricken from the record, and his lawyers argued that he should be let go pending sentencing (in April) to undergo treatment for heroin addiction. The judge deferred a ruling, and his lawyer later stated, "Obviously, we continue to be at odds with the government."
Cameron Douglas Will Get 10+ Years For Trafficking
Cameron Douglas, the 31-year-old son of actor Michael, is a big time crystal meth dealer—just last year being busted with half a pound of the stuff at the Gansevoort Hotel (where he was living on his father's tab). Originally placed under house arrest, he was brought behind bars once his girlfriend Kelly Sott was caught smuggling heroin to his home in an electric toothbrush. Now the actor/deejay is readying for his sentencing on April 27th—the NY Post reports he faces a minimum 10 years behind bars. Is life imitating art for Michael Douglas? Can he expect to find bunnies boiling in his brownstone next?
Douglas Family "Devastated And Very Disappointed"
Following a heroin delivery via electric toothbrush on Monday, Cameron Douglas has been taken out of his UES house arrest digs, and moved over to the Metropolitan Correctional Center. This is also where his girlfriend Kelly Sott is still being held, after making the delivery.
Cameron Douglas's Girl Made Special Delivery To UES Home
The mystery of how Cameron Douglas's girlfriend actually thought it was a good idea to bring heroin to his meeting with The Man becomes a little bit less mysterious now. The Daily News reports that Douglas was under house arrest in his mom's $9.25M Upper East Side townhouse when girlfriend Kelly Sott (pictured) delivered a toothbrush filled with 19 bags of heroin. A private security guard was suspicious when he heard Douglas on the phone talking about the toothbrush, as he had just gotten one—so when Sott showed up he confiscated it and found the drugs. (Wonder what was in that first toothbrush!) The DEA later arrested Sott at the Hotel Gansevoort where she was staying; "they found heroin, crystal meth and marijuana in her room. She was held without bail after her arrest, and a federal magistrate ordered immediate treatment for heroin addiction and hypertension." Both Sott and Douglas were reportedly strung out when this occurred.
Cameron Douglas Drags Girlfriend Into Drug Debacle
Cameron Douglas is addicted to drugs... well, addicted to trafficking them! The 30-year-old son of Michael Douglas, and his first wife Diandra Luker, was recently busted for dealing crystal meth, and now his girlfriend is joining the club. The NY Post reports that Kelly Sott "was arrested after she tried to smuggle to him 10 bags of heroin—hidden in an electric toothbrush—right in front of prosecutors who are investigating him for drug trafficking." Douglas was in a meeting with the officials in Manhattan yesterday when he asked if he could call his girl to run an errand. Soon enough she was there with the toothbrush, which of course the officials were suspicious of and checked, and now she's being held without bail. Her lawyer said she's in need of treatment for a medical condition: "heroin addiction and hypertension."
Cameron Douglas's Meth Drama Continues
Michael Douglas has undoubtedly reprised his Falling Down role by now; his son Cameron has been busted for being a big time crystal meth dealer, moving "pounds" of the drug since 2006, according to TMZ. The site reports that he faces 10 years to life in prison, and "According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold 'multiple pounds' of crystal meth to several people—many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas." He's been charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth, and also one count with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of "ice"—which for the non-drug savy is the purest form of meth. When he was busted in NYC, he was accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth, which the buyer referred to as "bath salts." Douglas told him, "I thought you would like them my friend ... I was so excited for you to take a bath and see for yourself."
Michael Douglas's Son Arrested With Crystal Meth
Last night TMZ reported that Cameron Douglas (spawn of Michael) was arrested in NYC for "possession of methamphetamines with the intent to distribute." Indeed, the Post later reported that the 30-year-old was busted by a DEA task force at the Gansevoort Hotel—and it turned out he was holding around a half-a-pound of crystal meth. They also believe he already sold $18,000 worth (it goes for $80/gram). This isn't the first time Douglas has been busted, either; in 2007 he was charged "with felony possession of a controlled substance after cops found a syringe with liquid cocaine in a car he was in."
