Lil Wayne Gets Busted Again
Posted in Life Style, Lil Wayne, Rapper, Rumor, Scandal, Singers on the January 26, 2008
Rapper Lil Wayne has been busted again by authorities in Arizona early Wednesday morning when his tour bus was pulled over and searched by US Border Patrol. The Drug Enforcement Agency was even called in and everything. The rapper is being held in a Yuma, Arizona jail on three felony counts for possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of narcotics. This is his second arrest in a mere three months. You would think that he would learn something from the first time – or at least wait a year or until the first one gets forgotten. Tsk.
50 Cent Goes to Sundance
Posted in 50 Cent, Hollywood, Movies, Music People, Performance on the January 26, 2008
The Sundance Film Festival is supposed to be all about independent films. But recently, it’s all gone Hollywood. Apparently, going indie is the new black. A recent sign of the times that the film fest is going Hollywood is that 50 Cent was spotted giving a performance for Sundance fans. Who knew that you could bring gangta to Utah? Apparently, the rapper knew that it could be done. All that’s missing from that party were the bottles of bubbly. But if they really wanted to go all Hollywood for Sundance, they could have gotten Diddy… or Kanye West! Bring back the rivalry!
