Sideshow: 'Wild' man gets time served, probation

Joe Francis

, the entrepreneur behind the tasteless

Girls Gone Wild

vid series, was sentenced yesterday to 301 days already served and a year of probation for filing false income tax returns and bribing Nevada jail workers for better treatment behind bars.

The sentence is part of a plea deal prosecutors struck after learning a key witness had withheld information from them.

Francis, who admitted to omitting more than $500,000 of interest income on his '03 tax returns, also must pay $250,000 to the IRS.

"I think we won that one," he said.

Rihanna

yesterday described the fear she felt when she was assaulted by

Chris Brown

on Feb. 8. "There was no person when I looked at him," she said on ABC's

Good Morning America

. "He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank."

Rihanna, 21, said CB was "definitely my first big love," describing their love as "dangerous" and "an obsession."

For all that, R said she doesn't hate CB: "I actually love and care about him and . . . I want him to do well."

The members of

Mae

, the Virginia alt-pop band that played the North Star Bar on Tuesday and Wednesday, woke up Thursday in Philly to find that their van and a trailer containing all of their equipment had been stolen.

"It's in these moments that our fans lift us up and remind us why we do what we do. We thank you for the immediate outpouring of love and support," the band says on its Facebook page. Mae planned to play in New York last night using borrowed equipment.
