NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Daniel Baldwin has escaped jail time for a drug-induced rampage through The Plaza Hotel in February. A judge on Monday told Baldwin he must remain in drug rehabilitation for at least the next three months and not get arrested again for a year. "If at the end of one year you have stayed out of trouble, stayed drug free, the record will be sealed," the judge said. Baldwin had earlier pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges.

Willis

NEW YORK (CNN) -- In the latest issue of George magazine, actor Bruce Willis makes some interesting comments on religion and politics. Willis, whose movie "Armageddon" releases July 1, says modern religion is the "end trail" of mythology. "But there are people who interpret the Bible literally. Literally!" Willis is quoted as saying. "I choose not to believe that's the way. And that's what makes America cool, you know?" Willis also reveals that he switched from Democrat to Republican in 1992, but didn't vote in the 1996 election because he considered the Republican candidate, Bob Dole, a "nitwit."
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- The city of Los Angeles welcomed back the Grammys on Tuesday as the awards show announced it is moving back from New York after a spat with organizers and the mayor of the Big Apple. "Welcome home, Grammys!" Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan said as the move was announced, touting his city as "the entertainment capital of the world." In February, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani accused National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences President Michael Greene of insulting a member of his staff. The mayor skipped the show and said he wouldn't mind losing the Grammys to another city.
