(Reuters) - T.I. whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., 29, was arrested with his wife on Sunset Boulevard Wednesday night after police smelled marijuana coming from a car in which the Grammy award-winning rapper was a passenger.

He was booked for possession of a controlled substance and was released after posting bail of $10,000. He is yet to be formally charged because testing is currently being conducted on a handful of "pills resembling ecstasy," a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County sheriff's department said.

T.I.'s next court appearance has been set for Friday.

The Atlanta-born rapper and actor previously has been in trouble with the law, including numerous arrests on drugs and weapons charges. He was released from a halfway house five months ago after being sentenced to a year in prison on federal weapons charges.

The co-founder of Grand Hustle Records, distributed by Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records, he currently can be seen in the heist film "Takers," that grabbed the No. 1 spot at the North American box office last weekend.

"Inclusive Saturdays", held in The Building kicked off last weekend with its "Launch to Greatness" edition on Saturday night. Thinking outside the box, the promoters had a few surprises up their sleeves for the happening. With much experience individually, Chad Williams and Deane Shepherd have come together with Street Vybz Rum to create CDC events. "The theme behind Inclusive Saturdays is to introduce a mixed drinks inclusive event with the dancehall vibe". Each week, Street Vybz mixes will be inclusive but look out for specials from other products".

Street Vybz Rum, no doubt a staple in the dancehall community, offered party goers many options for the night; a mix with orange juice, pineapple, fruit punch and other fruit mixes.

OutAroad.com has received numerous phone calls and BB messages requesting to know the truth behind the BB message that was allegedly sent out by dancehall trend setter Vybz Kartel.

The BB message describes Zj Liquid as a wanna be artiste who copied Vybz Kartel slang ('Oh'). The BB message also lashes out against Beenie Man as well for repeatedly using Vybz Kartel styles.

However, many refused to believe the BB rumor so the next step was to get in contact with the Gaza General.

"Outaroad.com. Are u serious? how Kartel fi dis Beenie Man? People believe what they want and quite frankly, separate and apart from my gaza fans whom I love dearly, I couldn't care less what people think. Gaza me name. Beenie say gaza and liquid say music. A love inna dancehall so naysayers know what to do."

Apart from the rumor OutAroad.com gets to understand that Vybz Kartel's re-make of the Beatle's 1970 Hit classic Let It Be is one the many featured songs today on the Homepage of iTunes Music Store (US).

Kanye West's remix of Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" hit the Internet yesterday, and the track -- which also features Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon The Chef -- drew a wealth of reaction.

The song lifts much its rhythm and main melody from Wu-Tang Clan' "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F*** Wit," with additional production on Bieber's vocals.

"Flipping an old Wu beat was a smart move," says Complex Deputy Editor Brendan Frederick. "It automatically gives you that nostalgic feeling, an old trick from the Bad Boy era that still works. Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F*** Wit" was always a fun record, and it translates perfectly to a light-hearted remix like this."

"Kanye is clearly a Wu-Tang fan," says Rob Markman, Deputy Editor at XXL. "Even when he was doing sped-up soul samples you could see Rza's influence in 'Ye's production. Kanye is capable of making an original beat and he was just paying homage to the Wu."

Still, the remix has its critics. Some feel that just because artists can collaborate, doesn't mean they always should.

"Reinvigorated Raekwon has obviously been a good thing for his opportunities and great for hip-hop," says SmokingSection.net's Gotty.

"However, there should be someone standing nearby reminding him of how a collabo like this one may come off as trite. Just because high profiles are involved it doesn't necessarily mean it will yield good results, especially not when your calling card has been gritty talk your whole career."

Dallas Penn, of The Internets Celebrities, thinks otherwise. "Raekwon's verses are hard and on time," he says. "The references are razor sharp. This isn't from a throwaway notebook."

With his debut album set to be released in early October, reggae artiste Junior is very happy having finally completed a full length recording project, as many fans have been requesting an album from him since his debut in 2005.

"Yes I'm excited. The album has songs for the ladies and of course the Almighty comes first in everything so we have to make mention and praise him. We also have songs that speak about the struggles of the people in ghetto because that's where it all started, said Junior X"

The Plead My Cause lyricist also spoke of his desire to gain local dominance after being noticeable absent from the music scene for a while until last year.
"That's how (being absent) it seems but it's not the reality. I never stopped doing music, it's my life. This game is full of politics with people who want to push you around," he said.

Most dancehall artists' careers have crashed and burned on American shores. From Yellowman to Shabba Ranks to Buju Banton, some of Jamaica's most definitive vocalists couldn't break through to a larger audience due to unwise collaborations, questionable judgments and bad advice.

Busy Signal, who boasts a collab with M.I.A. on the new Major Lazer EP, is determined not to follow that path.

"I've learned from their mistakes, " the man born Reanno Gordon tells Spinner. "I try to think outside the box, beyond Jamaica. I mean, we sing gun lyrics here, and burn fire on this and burn fire on that, but that won't bring you to the level that you need to go. I've seen this over and over again with artists from Jamaica. You sing those songs locally, people go crazy, but at the end of the day that won't bring you to the wide level of exposure cause you're probably lashing out against those that would be accepting you."

Busy has managed to create huge domestic hits while pursuing hybrid rhythms and cool foreign collaborations. Nothing in his rapidly growing catalog sounds like the watered-down crossovers of years past, which saw hard-as-nails dancehall artists recording urban radio-baiting slow jams.

His new album 'D.O.B.' (which stands for "Difference of Busy" may contain covers of Phil Collins' 'One More Night' and a one-drop revision of the Commodores' 'Night Shift,' but both versions cut deep and don't feel like blatant sellouts.

After July's well-received joint appearance onstage in Jamaica, and an enthusiastic remark that producer Bryan-Michael Cox made in an interview with Jermaine Dupri ("Usher and the boy Chris Brown are going on tour, y'all know that, right?"), fans expected a major concert collaboration to be announced.

On Tuesday's broadcast of BET's '106th and Park,' however, Chris Brown dismissed the rumor while plugging his film 'Takers,' saying he wanted to focus on solo efforts. Many questioned the explanation, and speculated that Usher -- whose reps have issued a statement denying a tour partnership -- wants to distance himself Brown, still struggling to repair his image after his notorious 2009 arrest for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna.

But now, a source is telling the New York Post that there's a much simpler reason: money.

Paris Hilton was released from a Las Vegas jail this morning after being arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession late Friday night, CNN is reporting.

According to a police spokesman, the socialite-heiress was a passenger in a vehicle that was observed trailing marijuana smoke. After searching the vehicle, police discovered an unspecified amount of what was later identified as cocaine. The driver of the vehicle, whose name was not released, was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs. Hilton was released on her own recognizance.

This is Hilton’s third drug-related arrest in recent memory. In July, while attending a World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Hilton was removed from the stadium by local police and arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession. The charges were dropped. Later that month, Hilton was detained by police at an airport in Corsica, France, after she was caught with a small amount of marijuana. No charges were filed in the incident.

Attempts to reach the Las Vegas police department and Hilton’s publicist and manager were unsuccessful.

Tina Jordan contributed to this report.
