Bruno Mars Hitting Highs & Lows This Week

By Michael Lopez

It looks like it’s going to be quite an eventful week for singer Bruno Mars. Not only is his highly-anticipated debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans getting released, but he was also hit with a serious cocaine charge.

We all got news of his Las Vegas bust a few weeks ago and now it looks like the consequences of that incident are coming into full view. Charged with possessing 2.6 grams of cocaine, Bruno could face a maximum of four years in prison!

Of course, we know celebs usually can work a plea deal and this being his first offense, it’s more likely that Mars will wind up having to pay a stiff fine. Nevertheless, according to the report Bruno (who was booked under his real name, Peter Hernandez) was pretty remorseful, confessing to officers that this was the first time he ever tried the drug.

But enough with the lows, how about some highs? Elektra Records is heavily hyping Bruno’s Doo-Wops release and the success of his chart-topping single, “Just The Way You Are.” In a statement, they said, “We congratulate Bruno Mars on his chart-topping success, and provide him with our full love and support.”

With an album guest list that includes B.o.B. and Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley, we have the feeling Doo-Wops will Doo just fine regardless.

Doo-Wops & Hooligans dropped this Tuesday (October 5).
