JUDGE JOE BROWN: In Jail

How's this for role reversal? Tough TV judge Joe Brown has moved from behind the bench to behind bars.

Joe, who had a popular court show that ran from 1998 to 2013, is serving a five-day sentence for contempt of court. According to TMZ, he was representing someone in a child support case back in March 2014. When he showed up in court and the clerk told him they had no record of the case, he allegedly lost it, "screaming Al Pacino style."

The sentence was delayed for nearly a year-and-a-half.

Somewhere Judge Judy is shaking her head.
