*Bruno Mars plead guilty to cocaine possession today, three days after winning his first Grammy award, in a deal that avoids prison and could erase his felony conviction next year.
“Guilty, your honor,” the 25-year-old singer-songwriter said softly, standing in court in a dark suit with his hands at his sides.
Clark County District Judge Jessie Walsh sentenced Mars, whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, to probation, a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community service at a nonprofit organization and eight hours with a drug counselor in Los Angeles.
