After wading through the summer months with his future in doubt (and turning down a deal in July that required him to admit guilt), Christian Slater's palms are a little less sweaty.

A judge agreed to his plea deal with prosecutors to wipe his slate clean of his May groping charge if he stays out of trouble for the next six months.

Which, we're hoping, shouldn't be hard. His last conviction was as far back as 1997, so we've got until at least 2013 before we need to once again protect the asses of Upper East Siders.
