FHM Model Anna Benson Denied Bail Because of Murder Rap
Former FHM model Anna Benson -- who has just been charged with armed robbery and all sorts of other crimes -- is no stranger to the law. She was once charged with murder.
A judge has denied Benson bail in her current legal predicament -- for allegedly barging into the home of ex hubby former Mets pitcher Kris Benson with a handgun and a metal baton and threatened to harm him if he didn't hand over some loot.
As for why she was denied bail -- turns out back in '96 Anna was charged with murdering a man in Tennessee and she went on the lam for 5 months. Although the charges were ultimately dropped, the judge in the current case felt because of her conduct in '96 Anna is a flight risk.
Anna wants out of the pokey so she can travel out of state for "mental and substance abuse evaluations."

"Basketball Wives" and former NBA star Eric Williams is about to learn a hard lesson -- babies can cost you your freedom.
A judge just issued an arrest warrant for Williams ... because he's completely blown off a paternity case which required him to both appear and submit a DNA sample.
As TMZ first reported, Williams -- who is in the process of divorcing "Wives" star Jennifer Williams -- was slapped with a paternity suit last year by a woman who claims he knocked her up. The woman's son was born in October, 2011, while he was still living with Jennifer.

Calls to Williams have not yet been returned. At least he's consistent.
