Tom Sizemore

Tom Sizemore, who has admitted in court to using methamphetamine, says he's struggling to emerge from the haze of drug addiction. The 44-year-old actor was sentenced in L.A. Thursday to three years' probation after tearfully confessing that he used meth last month. He could have faced 16 months in prison after violating his probation stemming from a conviction for methamphetamine possession.

Actor Tom Sizemore settled a lawsuit brought against him by his ex-girlfriend, former "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss, according to court papers obtained Monday.

Magwood, declined to comment on the settlements, and the terms were not contained within the court file.

A day after sentencing actor Tom Sizemore to 16 months in prison for violating probation on a drug conviction, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge gave him 213 days' credit for time spent in county jail and for a previous stint at a live-in drug rehabilitation center. Judge Cynthia Rayvis also recommended that the 45-year-old actor be sent to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County to serve the remainder of his sentence in the facility's drug treatment program.

Set in an East Texas work prison in 1976, the turgid indie "Cellmates" pairs an incarcerated Klan bigwig (Tom Sizemore) with a happy-go-lucky Mexican fieldworker (Hector Jimenez). The bigot endures the lectures of a potato-farming-obsessed warden (Stacy Keach, full throttle) and falls for a pretty Latina maid (Olga Segura). Really, you can't blame Sizemore for turning the simplest physical movement or line of dialogue into a hoedown of over-gesturing. Co-writer/director Jesse Baget's incessantly talky mix of faux-Coens-style redneck grandiloquence and un-Coens-like visual flatness leaves the fidgety star trapped in garish close-up for most of the film.

It's the third take of a crucial scene in "Witness Protection," a new HBO film to be shownSaturday, and actor Tom Sizemore is breathing hard, hopping from foot to foot, shiny drops of sweat collecting on his face. "We can make this more intense," he says. "We can jack up the intensity here." In the scene, Sizemore plays a Boston loan shark who has ratted out his Mafia bosses and enrolled his family in the federal witness protection program.

A judge signed an arrest warrant for actor Tom Sizemore on Tuesday after the costar of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down" failed to appear at a probation violation hearing because he had checked into a live-in drug rehabilitation program. But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman held off issuing the warrant to allow Sizemore to return to court July 22, when the judge who has been overseeing Sizemore's case is scheduled to return to the bench. Deputy Dist. Atty.

Actor Tom Sizemore, who pleaded no contest to a drug possession charge last year, was sentenced Monday to 16 months in prison for violating his probation stemming from a separate drug case. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis ordered the sentence after authorities said they found methamphetamine in the actor's car May 8 in Bakersfield, a violation of his probation.

In a day of high theatrics in Los Angeles County Superior Court, actor Tom Sizemore showed that he could range from tragedy to jubilation in minutes as a judge Thursday handed him a 21-month sentence for repeatedly failing drug tests while on probation for beating his one-time girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
