Watch out Linda Hogan!! Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, embroiled in a bitter divorce with his wife, Linda, told Rolling Stone magazine he can “totally understand” O.J. Simpson, the former football great found liable for the deaths of his wife and another man. “I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody’s throat,” Hogan said in the interview for a feature that will run in Friday’s edition of the magazine. “You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife… . “I totally understand O.J. I get it,” Hogan said. A spokesman for Linda Hogan said Wednesday that the statement amounts to a death threat and that her attorney is “weighing all options necessary to protect his client.”
Eminem is back with a vengeance as he poses for the new XXL Magazine and expresses his opinions on the state of Hip Hop while he was on hiatus. “I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any names, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”
We already saw this one coming…. The incarcerated NFL star has talked to producers about launching an unscripted program. The proposed documentary series would follow Vick beginning July 20, the day of his scheduled release from federal custody, and show him trying to “make amends for his past.” Sources said eager producers even visited the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback in prison in the hope of signing him. As a result, a few parties claim to have obtained rights to a Vick project. Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for dogfighting conspiracy. His attorneys did not return a call for comment, but they told a judge this month at a bankruptcy hearing that Vick has agreed to a “television documentary deal” that will pay him $600,000. That number represents only a small portion of what Vick is asking for, however. The athlete, who reportedly owes millions to creditors, is seeking a high-dollar figure for participation in the show. Among the questions surrounding such a deal is the matter of which network would be interested in a Vick reality show. Insiders place bets on A&E and Spike TV as likely first stops.
Ciara recently spoke her mind on accusations of stealing Beyonce’s style in her latest music video for “Love Sex Magic”… For the ones that have something negative to say? They must have really enjoyed it that much to go and nitpick it, because it’s something they pulled up and was like, “Yo!” There were a couple of things in there that I’ve never seen. I think that it’s important for us as artists to be original and to create something new, so it would be really silly of me to go and create something you’ve already seen. So not one time were any of my references another artist. My references were clearly inspired from shows that I’ve actually seen. It goes to show how creative we can be and how close the worlds are. I did my first video with my metal outfit. I was inspired by Thierry Mugler. Now, from my understanding, Beyonce is using Thierry Mugler for her tour. It just is what it is. It’s very petty to me. When people nitpick something and they say negative things, my response to that is they really must have liked it that much. That’s also the definition of a person having too much time on their hands to do nothing. That’s how I look at that.
This is a blessing… FORT MYERS, Fla. – A passenger landed a twin-engine plane in Florida after the pilot died in flight with a total of six people on board. Federal Aviation Administration officials say the pilot died after takeoff from an airport in Naples on Sunday. It was on autopilot and climbing toward 10,000 feet when the pilot died. The passenger who took over is licensed for single-engine planes but isn’t certified to fly the larger King Air craft. An air traffic controller helped the passenger down by calling a friend in Connecticut who knows the King Air plane and relaying instructions. The plane landed safely at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.
Twitter is really hot right now. It’s cool and easy to network but you have to watch what you say cause it can get real ugly. Keisha Knight Pulliam also known as Rudy Huxable, was a victim of identity theft last night. @K_Knightpulliam was created a couple weeks ago and gained nearly 5,000 followers. In the end, she put a few celebs on blast. The fake Keisha posted Yung Berg and Malik Yoba’s direct messages for all to see. “@TheRealYungBerg @k_knightpulliam I would love to fly yo sexy ass out to miami wit me, whats good?! hit my line (925) ***-****” “@malikyoba @k_knightpulliam Damn girl!!! mmm mmm mmm How u have womanized!! Hit Me direct # (310) ***-****“ A message was sent to Lance Gross on twitter. He then contacted Keisha to find out if she had an account. Moments later he sent out a tweet “hey so Keisha just told me she doesn’t have a twitter account yet K_KnightPulliam isn’t really her:-/.” Lots of celebs fell for this fake. Her profile has been deleted for good.
In a recent interview, Mariah revealed her outlook on being preggo… “I am with The One. I think we would make good parents, and that we’d be able to figure everything out together. People are constantly asking me if I’m pregnant, but I don’t like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We’ll see.” Good Luck to the two love birds. Her biological clock is tickin’. She better hurry up!!
Here it goes: For the past several years, I’ve been harboring a fantasy, a last political crusade for the baby-boom generation. We, who started on the path of righteousness, marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam, need to find an appropriately high-minded approach to life’s exit ramp. In this case, I mean the high-minded part literally. And so, a deal: give us drugs, after a certain age — say, 80 — all drugs, any drugs we want. In return, we will give you our driver’s licenses. (I mean, can you imagine how terrifying a nation of decrepit, solipsistic 90-year-old boomers behind the wheel would be?) We’ll let you proceed with your lives — much of which will be spent paying for our retirement, in any case — without having to hear us complain about our every ache and reflux. We’ll be too busy exploring altered states of consciousness. I even have a slogan for the campaign: “Tune in, turn on, drop dead.” A fantasy, I suppose. But, beneath the furious roil of the economic crisis, a national conversation has quietly begun about the irrationality of our drug laws. It is going on in state legislatures, like New York’s, where the draconian Rockefeller drug laws are up for review; in other states, from California to Massachusetts, various forms of marijuana decriminalization are being enacted. And it has reached the floor of Congress, where Senators Jim Webb and Arlen Specter have proposed a major prison-reform package, which would directly address drug-sentencing policy. There are also more puckish signs of a zeitgeist shift. A few weeks ago, the White House decided to stage a forum in which the President would answer questions submitted by the public; 92,000 people responded — and most of them seemed obsessed with the legalization of marijuana. The two most popular questions about “green jobs and energy,” for example, were about pot. The President dismissed the outpouring — appropriately, I guess — as online ballot-stuffing and dismissed the legalization question with a simple: “No.” This was a rare instance of Barack Obama reacting reflexively, without attempting to think creatively, about a serious policy question. He was, in fact, taking the traditional path of least resistance: an unexpected answer on marijuana would have launched a tabloid firestorm, diverting attention from the budget fight and all those bailouts. In fact, the default fate of any politician who publicly considers the legalization of marijuana is to be cast into the outer darkness. Such a person is assumed to be stoned all the time, unworthy of being taken seriously. Such a person would be lacerated by the assorted boozehounds and pill poppers of talk radio. The hypocrisy inherent in the American conversation about stimulants is staggering. But there are big issues here, issues of economy and simple justice, especially on the sentencing side. As Webb pointed out in a cover story in Parade magazine, the U.S. is, by far, the most “criminal” country in the world, with 5% of the world’s population and 25% of its prisoners. We spend $68 billion per year on corrections, and one-third of those being corrected are serving time for nonviolent drug crimes. We spend about $150 billion on policing and courts, and 47.5% of all arrests are marijuana-related. That is an awful lot of money, most of it nonfederal, that could be spent on better schools or infrastructure — or simply returned to the public. At the same time, there is an enormous potential windfall in the taxation of marijuana. It is estimated that pot is the largest cash crop in California, with annual revenues approaching $14 billion. A 10% pot tax would yield $1.4 billion in California alone. And that’s probably a fraction of the revenues that would be available — and of the economic impact, with thousands of new jobs in agriculture, packaging, marketing and advertising. A veritable marijuana economic-stimulus package! So why not do it? There are serious moral arguments, both secular and religious. There are those who believe — with some good reason — that the accretion of legalized vices is debilitating, that we are a less virtuous society since gambling spilled out from Las Vegas to “riverboats” and state lotteries across the country. There is a medical argument, though not a very convincing one: alcohol is more dangerous in a variety of ways, including the tendency of some drunks to get violent. One could argue that the abuse of McDonald’s has a greater potential health-care cost than the abuse of marijuana. (Although it’s true that with legalization, those two might not be unrelated.) Obviously, marijuana can be abused. But the costs of criminalization have proved to be enormous, perhaps unsustainable. Would legalization be any worse? In any case, the drug-reform discussion comes just at the right moment. We boomers are getting older every day. You’re not going to want us on the highways. Make us your best offer.
Chris is young, hot and successful - And he ain’t wasting no time! He was recently spotted leaving a tattoo parlor in Hollywood with his new friend Natalie Mejia from the group Girlicious. “It’s true we did visit a tattoo parlor together but I can’t say if we got anything done because that is personal. Things are going well between us but I really do not want to comment much more than that right now. [Chris] has treated me like a [sic] gentleman at all times actually and there are no complaints.”
Omarion is turning his image into something we didn’t expect. Sources are telling the YBF that former B2K star Omarion starring in a new kind of “music video,” that will feature the twenty-something singer and his new wife–a shake dancer from Atlanta’s Magic City–poppin’ off with another woman….

Cassie recently had the great idea of chopping her crop only HALF-OFF. Check out her recent tweets about her situation… # Something that makes you look at this whole wide world a differently… # Something that displays the “I don’t give a fuck” attitude that was always present, but never showcased. # Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of. # Sometimes in life, you need a change.
Such a sad story…… Police said Saturday they do not know what motivated the Sunday school teacher they arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and killing an 8-year-old girl whose body was found in a suitcase dumped in an irrigation pond. Huckaby had told The Tracy Press that Sandra visited her home on the day of her disappearance to play with her 5-year-old daughter. But Huckaby said she’d turned Sandra away because her daughter needed to pick up her toys and Sandra went to another friend’s home. Huckaby also said she had left her suitcase in the driveway that day, and that it was missing. It was confirmed early Saturday that the suitcase in which the body was found belonged to Huckaby. Melissa Huckaby, 28, a local minister’s granddaughter, was arrested late Friday about five hours after she drove herself to the local police station at the request of officers, said police Sgt. Tony Sheneman. She was being held without bail in connection with the death of Sandra Cantu, the San Joaquin County sheriff’s office said. Sandra disappeared on March 27 and hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officials turned out to search for her. On April 6, farmworkers draining an irrigation pond found the suitcase. “Sandra was very close friends with Melissa’s daughter. They used to play together,” Sheneman said. Sandra’s Uncle Joe Chavez, said Huckaby should face the death penalty. Huckaby worked as a checker at a Food for Less grocery store in a strip mall just east of the mobile park for nearly four years, until she was fired sometime in 2004, said Matt Duncan, an assistant manager at the store now known as FoodMaxx. “I wouldn’t have anything bad to say about her, until now,” he said. “I would’ve never suspected her to do something like this.”

Police are denying that Mr. Foxx put hands on his #1 fan but if someone is continuously coming for you - you already know the drill… The Oscar winner got the better of an intruder in his Philadelphia hotel suite last month after the man tricked him into opening the door by posing as one of Beyoncé’s producers. After realizing he didn’t know the man, Foxx managed to keep him from fully entering the room and slammed the door. The suspect fled the scene, but the law ultimately caught up with him. Steven Taliver, 49, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stalking and other charges after Foxx’s security team noticed the very same man who allegedly tried to bust into the actor’s room hanging around near the set of Foxx’s next movie, Law Abiding Citizen, and called the cops. Jamie Foxx StalkerPolice denied that a physical confrontation occurred, but sources have told Philadelphia’s CBS 3 that Taliver had tried to break into Foxx’s room three times—March 22, 27 and 31—and on one of those occasions, Foxx forcibly removed the intruder from the room himself and slammed the door in his face. A rep for Foxx, who was busy Thursday promoting his latest film, The Soloist, refused to comment, citing the ongoing legal matter. “I can’t really speak on it,” Foxx told Extra at a press junket. “There was a little drama but they fixed it and worked it out. Thanks to the Philadelphia police department. We’re good.” In addition to stalking, Taliver was also charged with burglary, making criminal threats, false imprisonment and harassment.
This is almost unbelievable: LOS ANGELES – As she walked from a post office, Talon Curtis thought she’d found one of those gimmicky sweepstakes offers on the ground that scream something like “$357,959.55″ in big bold letters and “This is not a real check” in much smaller type. But just as she was about to do her part for a cleaner planet and deliver the paper from the parking lot to a trash can, she noticed it was a real cashier’s check with a real signature. “I couldn’t believe it. I almost passed out,” Curtis, who works as a loan negotiator, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I have never seen a check that big. Not in my possession, anyway.” She immediately set out to find its rightful recipient, but it was Saturday afternoon and the banks were closing. On Monday, with help from KCAL-TV reporter Dave Malkoff, she located the check’s owner, who had arrived at her bank in a panic. “I think she had walked in at the same time the bank manager called me back,” Curtis said. “I could hear her walking up to him. and I could hear all this commotion in the background.” Curtis said she spoke briefly with the woman on the phone about a possible meeting, but Pacific Mercantile Bank instructed her to mail the check to them instead. Not willing to take a chance on the mail, Curtis delivered it personally. A bank employee confirmed it had arrived. Curtis said she never thought of keeping the check for herself, and she declined the woman’s offer of a reward. Still, she’s just a little disappointed. “I just wanted to see her face,” Curtis said, laughing. “I just wanted to let her know that there are honest people left in this world.”
Andre Benjamin, also known as Outkast’s Andre 3000, was arrested near Atlanta for reckless driving. A police officer told the station that the MC was clocked at 109 MPH on Saturday morning, significantly over the 65-mph speed limit, on Interstate 75, and was arrested for the danger he posed. “Traveling that fast along 75, you’re passing people as if they’re standing still,” Henry County Police Captain Jason Bolton told the station. “It’s an accident waiting to happen.” The MC was released after posting $1,200 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 29. The arrest comes as State Representative Jim Cole is lobbying for a new “Super Speeder” bill to be passed in the state of Georgia. The law will force violators to pay an additional $200 fine for driving at more than 85 miles an hour on highways and four-lane roads. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue has said he supports the bill and intends to sign it into law in the coming months. Representative Cole told WSB that he hopes Benjamin will help rally support behind the bill.

A judge sentenced T.I. to one year and a day behind bars on federal weapons charges on Friday. T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was cuffed two years ago after attempting to purchase thousands of dollars worth of unregistered guns and silencers. The rapper wasn’t allowed to own a gun because of a 1998 felony drug conviction. T.I. pleaded guilty to the gun charges in March of last year but was not immediately sentenced. At the hearing, the rapper apologized for his mistakes and said he would learn from his time in lockup. “Today I would like to say thank you to some, and apologize to all,” said the “Live Your Life” rapper, who wore a suit and tie. “Everything I learned was through trial and error,” Harris said. “I’ve learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won’t make the same mistakes as I.” The sentence is part of a negotiated plea deal worked out by T.I.’s lawyers that allowed the rapper to take avoid jail for a year and do community service to sidestep the potential 10-year prison term he could’ve faced.
In a recent interview with Tavis Smiley, rapper Trick Daddy revealed being diagnosed with the potentially-fatal autoimmune disease lupus… “I went to the doctor, like, 12 years ago. She took all kinds of tests, because I was trying to get rid of what we call dry skin; she did biopsies and blood tests and swab tests. She told me I have lupus.” “I am allergic highly to the sun, that’s my worst enemy. It’s like an AK-47 (gun) with a double clip on it,” Trick explains. He adds, “A lot of people try to cover it up with regular make-up. It makes your skin pigmented. You can go from dark to light and not light to dark. You have to cover it up and conceal it.My mama had 11 children from 10 different men. If she can live with that, I know I can live with this.”
Housekeeper Maria Jimenez has filed a suit in Superior Court in Orange County against Kobe and Vanessa Bryant for verbally and emotionally abusing her. According to the Orange County Register, Mrs. Bryant has a lengthy history of verbally assaulting members of the service industry. Jimenez says it got so bad — Vanessa allegedly “badgered, harassed and humiliated Maria by yelling and screaming at Maria and criticizing her in front of Kobe, the Bryants’ children, employees and other people in the household” — she threatened to quit but Kobe talked her out of it. She claims Vanessa called her insults like “lazy, slow dumb, a f—ing liar, and f—ing sh-t.” Maria says she couldn’t take it anymore after Vanessa punished her for accidentially putting an expensive blouse in the washer by making her fish its price tag out of a bag of dog feces. Vanessa making her pick up shit out of shit? Wow… Sounds like a case of someone trying to come up because their ass got fired!
Thank God for DNA tests….. Alfie Patten, now 13, took the test after six other teenagers came forward to claim they had also slept with Chantelle Steadman, the 15-year-old who gave birth to baby Maisie Roxanne last month. “I didn’t know about DNA tests before but mum explained it’s when they do a swab in your mouth and it tells if you’re the dad,” he was quoted as saying before undergoing the test. “So if I have it, they can all shut up.” “It had not even crossed Alfie’s mind whether Chantelle had not been faithful to him,” his mother Nicole said. Since the birth, Alfie has been a doting father who can’t bear to be separated from his daughter, welfare workers say. Matters were complicated when Tyler Barker, 14, and Richard Goodsell, 16, came forward with claims they had also slept with Chantelle and could have fathered the baby. Since then, four more boys claiming they had slept with Chantelle have also come forward. And a family friend has previously alleged Alfie was a victim of a scam devised by his girlfriend’s mother to cash in on publicity surrounding the young parents. Teen mum Chantelle Steadman’s mother told her 15-year-old daughter to say Alfie Patten was the father, according to Clive Sim. He claims Penny Steadman had told her daughter Chantelle to keep quiet about other boys she had slept with because “she knew Alfie being the dad makes a better story”. “I think there’s a big scam going on here” he was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. Both Chantelle’s and Alfie’s parents are thought to have already earned thousands of dollars in media deals since The Sun broke the story.
Donte Stallworth has been charged with Manslaughter after he ran over a man that was cycling home after work. An arrest warrant charging Stallworth, 28, with DUI manslaughter was filed in the March 14 accident that killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes. If convicted, Stallworth would face up to 15 years in prison. Stallworth’s blood-alcohol level after the crash was .126, well above Florida’s legal limit of .08, according to results of a blood test. Stallworth will also be charged with DUI, which carries a possible six-month sentence plus fines and community service for first offenders. “Whenever a deadly accident occurs and a driver is impaired, families suffer,” said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle in a statement. “I can only repeat this message over and over: If you are going to drink, don’t drive.” A Miami Beach police report said Reyes was not in a crosswalk on busy MacArthur Causeway when he was struck by the black 2005 Bentley luxury car driven by Stallworth. The construction crane operator was trying to catch a bus home after finishing his shift around 7:15 a.m. The report also quoted Stallworth as saying he flashed his lights at Reyes in an attempted warning and that Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone. An additional police affidavit filed Wednesday said that on the morning of the crash, Stallworth was drinking at a club in the posh Fountainebleau hotel on South Beach. He left to go to a nearby home — it’s not clear if it was one of his three Miami-area properties — and then headed out to the causeway where Reyes was struck. “I hit the man lying in the road,” Stallworth told officers arriving to investigate the crash, according to the affidavit. One officer smelled alcohol on Stallworth’s breath and said that his eyes appeared bloodshot and watery. Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns before last season but was injured much of the year. He previously played for New England, Philadelphia and New Orleans.
