Variety Reviews "Inside Out"
In its continuing quest to make Paul "Triple H" Levesque a viable movie star, WWE casts the hulking wrestler in yet another ex-con role in "Inside Out," sandwiching him between Michael Rapaport and Parker Posey, arguably two of Hollywood's quirkiest supporting players. But their flakiness effectively plays off the taciturn, muscle-bound Levesque, whose cliched choice to go straight or crooked, juxtaposed with Rapaport's loose-cannon loquaciousness, turns moral questions into an entertaining vaudeville routine.

Jeff Hardy Pleads Guilty to Drug Charges, Gets 10 Days in Jail
Professional wrestling star Jeff Hardy was sentenced today to 10 days in jail, 30 months of probation and a $100,000 fine as part of a plea deal that will keep him out of prison. The start date of the jail sentence will be arranged at a future date with his probation officer.
Hardy, 34, who lives in the 200 block of Boys Camp Road in Cameron, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver a controlled substance and a single count of conspiracy to traffic in a substance containing opium, all felonies.
Hardy was arrested Sept. 11, 2009, in a raid on his home and charged with several felony drug counts including trafficking in opium by possession, possession of cocaine, maintaining a dwelling for keeping and selling controlled substances, and two counts of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance.
As a result of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped the other charges but said he must remain in a dug abuse treatment program.
