Rapper T.I. arrested for drug possession in LA

ti-arrest-drug-charge.jpg(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.

Paris Hilton arrested on cocaine charge

by Chad Schlegel

Paris-hilton-cocaine%20.jpgParis 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.

Wyclef Jean aware of assassination threat

By Daniel Sperling, Entertainment Reporter

wyclef-jean-president.jpg

Wyclef Jean has admitted that he risks being assassinated while campaigning in the slums of Haiti to become president of the country.

The musician, who claims that he was inspired to run for office after witnessing the devastating effects of the January earthquake in his native country, confessed that he will fear for his safety when he eventually goes on the campaign trail as Haiti has a history of political violence.

However, the former Fugees star argued that his ideals and aspirations are worth endangering his life for.

"You have two choices," he explained to Contact Music. "Either sit back thinking of the danger or do something to move your country forward.

"Assassination is always a possibility but I'd rather die trying to achieve something than die doing nothing... I'm telling you right now, brother, I'm going to fight for the rights of the Haitian people so they can get their justice.

"At times, to be honest, I think, 'What am I doing?' But I can hear the voice of youth drafting me. When I'm on the ground, they say to me, 'Clef, you're our last hope.' They feel close to me because I speak their language."

Jean's controversial presidential campaign has already received criticism in the last week from Hollywood star Sean Penn and fellow Fugees member Pras Michel.

Popcaan walks free - Bahamas

popcaan-freed.jpgPopcaan one of the three Gaza members who reportedly attacked a Bahamian Pilot was acquitted of all charges after he pleaded not guilty...the other two Gaza members are still in police custody.

According to Bahamian news website knowyarights.com the three Jamaican reggae artists who are accused of attacking a Bahamian pilot on Monday at the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) were arraigned in a magistrates’ court on Wednesday (August 18, 2010)........... The men were here in New Providence to entertain hundreds of reggae fans at a birthday bash at the Luna night club this past weekend.

But that experience ended on a sour note when the men who are members of popular reggae artist Vybz Kartel’s entourage found themselves behind bars.

Twenty-four-year-old Ainsley Morris, 22-year-old André Sutherland and 26-year-old Lenburgh McDonald all of St Catherine Jamaica appeared before Magistrate Ancella Evans-Williams in court number six to answer to the charges of causing grievous harm and damage.

The trio is accused of attacking Bahamian pilot Tameko Bannister at LPIA.

It is alleged that the men got into a “brawl” with the Spirit Airline pilot after he asked why there were women in the men’s restroom with them.

The pilot reportedly left the restroom after a member of the group started to shout obscenities at him.

The pilot reportedly told police that when he returned to use the bathroom another time one of the women who is a part of the group was hit by the bathroom door.

It was at that point Bannister said one of the group members slapped him in the face and punched in his left eye.

He said the brawl ended in the lounge of the departure terminal alarming hundreds of passengers.

Wesley Snipes Will Serve 3 Years In Prison

By Craig Jones

westley-snipes-prison.jpgA federal appeals court denied on Friday Wesley Snipes' appeal for a 3 year prison sentence. Wesley Snipes based his appeal on the argument that the sentence was unreasonable and that he should be considered for a probation.

At the 2008 trial, the actor was found guilty of failing to file tax returns, and not guilty on federal tax fraud and conspiracy charges. A 3 year sentence is the maximum sentence Mr. Snipes could have received.

Judge William Terrell Hodges handed down the sentence, and allowed Mr. Snipes to remain free on bond until he is summoned to serve the sentence. The judge didn't say when will Wesley Snipes report to prison.

A member of Mr. Snipes' legal team said that they were hoping for a complete acquittal and that they will appeal the decision.

Cherine Gets Busy For Cancer Survivors

Young Jamaicans Represent for Cancer Survivors

cherine_cancer.jpgSinger and Songwriter Cherine will be singing a slightly different tune this weekend. On Saturday June 26th Cherine, who takes on the hat of Team Captian, will mobilize a passionate and driven group of young Dancehall- SOULdiers (members of Team Dancehall Soul), to help raise funds for cancer awareness, research and outreach at Jamaica Cancer Society's Relay For Life.

With several activities planned, Anderson is excited about the prospects. All proceeds of Cherine's EP's "The Introduction-Dubstyle" sold at the event will go towards the outreach efforts.

No stranger to giving back to her community, Cherine started her own Reach-One Child Foundation in 2003 and has been helping need-based students with supplies and partial tuition scholarships. Working with the cancer society is a first for Anderson. In addition, she is aware of the seriousness of cancer as well as its effects on patients and their families. Cherine adds "My sister Natoya was the one who told me about the event. We lost both our grandmother's to the battle but on a positive note, I know many more people who are survivors. Early detection gives everyone a better chance at fighting this thing so I am committed to doing all I can to help with the JCS's outreach initiative especially for people who can't afford to be screened and tested."

Jamaican Manhunt May Target 'Passa Passa' Parties

ding_dong_passa_passa.jpgIt's been about a week since Jamaican authorities blasted into Tivoli Gardens, the stronghold of Christopher "Dudus" Coke who is wanted in the U.S. for drug trafficking. Coke is no where to be found.

But now authorities have got their sights trained on a new target: "Passa Passa," the famous outdoor dance parties that Coke and his friends used to frequent, along with most everyone else in Tivoli Gardens.

The fabled parties are where Jamaica's newest dancehall tunes are played well to the crack of dawn.

Jamaican police are only talking about ending them between midnight and 2 a.m. But the mere suggestion of reining in the parties at a press conference last week with Jamaica's top military and police brass drew murmurs from a crowd of local Kingston reporters, and even a couple hisses. The police said it would be an uphill battle: Riots might break out, one frustrated official admitted into the microphone.

Passa Passa started up around 2003 in Kingston and takes place on the capital's streets as throngs of young Jamaicans dance to the island's up-and-coming artists of "dancehall," a genre that fuses traditional reggae with hip-hop, electronica and R&B beats, among other influences.

According to Wilton Dyer the ban that was imposed by the St. Lucian authorities might be a breach of the CARICOM free movement which applies to artistes, musicians and sports persons.

Several industry insiders believe its time for Jamaican artistes and musicians to unite and fight these ridiculous bans that are coming one behind the other.

The latest Caribbean country to reject Jamaican dancehall artistes from performing in their country is Triniday & Tobago.

“Sizzla is not under investigation for arm robbery and murder. He is not on the run from Jamaica and is on an African Tour, He also performed in Ghana for their 50th independence day celebration and in South Africa,” he said. Taal said.

Dancheall Artiste Mavado Crashes Off His Bike

mavado_bike.jpg

David Brooks, pka Mavado, was involved in a vehicular accident on Sunday evening, in the Manor Park area of Kingston.

Mavado was travelling on his motorcycle in a convoy of other vehicles at around 5pm when a female driver decided to turn into her driveway, cutting across his lane. Mavado did what he could to take evasive action but could not avoid the collision with the oncoming car. Mavado was immediately taken to the Medical Associates Hospital in Kingston where he underwent treatment for some minor cuts and bruises. Doctors also did several X-rays which thankfully all came back as showing everything normal.

He left hospital a little sore around 8.45 Sunday night to return home and get some rest. Mavado will be a little sore for a couple of days but it could've been a lot worse. He would like to thank all the well-wishers who called, text and twitted, as well as Busy Signal, Wayne Marshall, Bling Dawg, Serani, Adonia, Daseca, Kip Rich, Stacious, Boom Boom, Kibaki, Miss Kitty and many other industry folk who arrived at the hospital to check that the Gully God was fine.

As our priority was to ensure Mavado had medical assistance, we are unsure ,as of now, if a report was made to the police regarding the accident and what is to become of the driver.

Mavado is expected to be up on his feet and four (4) wheels and in the vocal booth within the coming days.....

vybz_kartel_barbados.jpgFollowing weeks of public debate and high profile media coverage, Barbados Prime Minister David Thompson announced yesterday that the Vybz Kartel/Mavado unity concert - scheduled for tomorrow - has been officially canceled.

PM Thompson is quoted in the Barbados Advocate as saying: "...I am happy to announce that in deference to the expressed wishes and the anxieties of a wide cross section of Barbadians, that the organizers of the Vybz Kartel/Mavado show and the Youth Forum have agreed to the revamping of initiatives resulting in the cancellation of this weekend's activities."

Dancehall Deejay Vybz Kartel offers the following statement:

"It is very unfortunate that the government in Barbados would cancel a show with two of the most influential Dancehall artists, especially a show promoting peace and unity amongst school children who take the whole Gaza/Gully phenomenon out of proportion. But we have to respect the decision of the Prime Minister -- ultimately he has the well being of the nation at the center of his agenda. I am saddened that we could not perform for our anxious Barbadian fans who would have turned out in the thousands for this historic event."

Zumjay survives another day in the Middle East, "Ready Fi Defend It"

zumjay_army_reggae.jpgMost dancehall deejays just use violent imagery and artillery-packing, cop-killing, asphalt visions to boost their street credibility. But Zumjay has gone one better. He is literally risking his life, 'bussing' real army issued guns, and exterminating terrorists as part of the US armed forces in the Middle East.

He doesn't have to try to make up rhymes about conflict to earn street cred, he has lived the real thing. Listen to the Boardhouse production, Ready Fi Defend It, and you get that sense of realism and urgency that Zum has brought to his music.

Dem say war, like Western Union mi wi send it
Ready fi defend it
Beat it beat it like Buju and bend it
Ready fi defend it
Bwoy see mi dawta and try fi offend it
Ready fi defend it

zumjay_army_video.jpgZumjay has matured a great deal since his days as a youth engineering in the studios of Penthouse, working professionally with the likes of Beres Hammond, Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage, and Beenie Man. He may not have a string of commercial hits behind his name but his consistency as a writer of his own music and for big name hits such as Sean Paul continue to pay off. His knowledge of musical composition from conception to its delivery, will undoubtedly give him longevity in the industry.

The Portmore Empire invested a substantial amount of money in the career of singer Kim Hamilton--filming music videos, printing promotional posters and clocking several hours in the studio honing her talent.

Hello, I'm Tiger Woods and I'm a sex addict

If Tiger Woods is a sex addict, the treatment will be long and intense

By Tim Dahlberg (CP)
The Canadian Press

tiger-woods-secret.jpgThose might be the toughest words Woods ever had to say, assuming, of course, he stood up and said them at a clinic in Mississippi.

That's also assuming Woods is currently residing at the Pine Grove Behavioural Health and Addiction Services clinic in Hattiesburg, Miss., though photos taken by a certain tabloid suggest it to be true.

If so, the world's greatest golfer is under the care of a superstar in his own field, sexual addiction treatment pioneer Patrick Carnes.

Unfortunately for Woods, greatness on the greens doesn't count in group therapy. Unlike golf, he has hardly any way of controlling what goes on.

It begins the same way for all. You can't be treated until you acknowledge there's a problem.

"I don't know if he can stand up and say it," said celebrity shrink Dr. Drew Pinsky, who hosted a VH1 sexual addiction reality show. "But it's a key component of these things."

Ja Rule Faces Gun Charges In Nyc

International News

ja-rule-gun.jpgVeteran rapper Ja Rule was in a New York City courtroom on Wednesday (January 20th) where he lost his bid to have his gun possession case dismissed. Though Ja's attorney Stacey Richman argued that the police did not have just cause to search the rapper's Maybach after a July 007 concert at the Beacon Theatre that featured Kanye West and Lil Wayne, Manhattan Superior Court Judge Richard Carruthers denied the motion. Prosecutors say the stop was warranted because the car had no insurance and a suspended registration. They did retrieve a .40 caliber handgun that contained Ja Rule's DNA.

Ja Rule -- whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins -- got one break in the case. Though he admitted to police at the time that he was in possession of marijuana, the judge ruled that he will not face drug possession charges.

Atkins has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He faces up to three and a half years in jail if convicted.

Gays shifted focus from Beenie Man & Buju to Eminem

By Carl Chery
BET

buju_banton_beenie_man_emenim.jpg

Usually not one to bite his tongue, Eminem has agreed to censor his lyrics in order to avoid anti-gay protests in the UK.

Word is promoters for the 2010 Wireless Festival were concerned that gay rights groups like OutRage! may protest the concert due to Slim being on the bill.

According to the Evening Standard, OutRage! said they won't picket the concert if Slim doesn't perform lyrics that inspire hatred against gay people. Per Wireless spokesman, David Allison, Em agreed to the censorship after being guaranteed that there won’t be any protest.

OutRage! has lead boycotts against dance hall artists Beanie Man and Buju Banton in the past. The protests lead to their UK tours being shut down for their use of homophobic lyrics. Em's lyrics have angered gay rights groups in the past. He responded by performing "Stan" with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards.

The 2010 Wireless Festival featuring Eminem is scheduled to take place at London's Hyde Park this coming July.

'It's a ho-ho-hold-up': armed Santa robs US bank

International News

bad-santa_robs-bank.jpgA man dressed as Father Christmas pulled out a gun and robbed a bank in Tennessee, telling counter staff that "Santa had to pay his elves".

But he quickly blew his cover by escaping not on a sleigh pulled by reindeer but in a grey Nissan sedan.

Nashville police said that the robber, a white male between 6ft and 6ft 4ins tall, was wearing a full Santa suit including hat, beard and moustache when he walked into a branch of the SunTrust bank on Old Hickory Boulevard yesterday morning.

But when two managers asked him to remove his dark glasses, he whipped out a 9mm handgun and announced that it was a hold-up.

"It was a little unbelievable. He was actually jovial, which is scary," one witness, Richlyn Jones, said. "He explained that he was robbing the bank because Santa had to pay his elves."

Even though Mavado and Vybz Kartel had plans in place to have a peace gathering this Wednesday in the middle of Half Way Tree the date was cut short as they were united by Prezzy at West Kingston Jamboree.

The audience went wild when Mavado and Vybz Kartel took the stage and gave the Gaza & Gully fans a friendly clash. This was an historic moment for those who were present as this was not the kind of clash they expected.

Below is a not so clear clip of Mavado and Vybz Kartel.

Peace March for Gully & Gaza On Wednesday 9th

vybzkartelmavaogazagully.jpg

Dancehall top gunz Mavado and Vybz Kartel seems to be on their way of ending the musical feud, which seems to have forced Gully and Gaza fans to turn the musical feud into physical face offs.

Information reaching OutAroad.com is that the Commissioner has called upon Mavado and Vybz Kartel to meet and have peace talks.

Vybz Kartel however stated that he respected the called for peace but, "I think they went a little overboard in making such a hasty decision, especially in light of the fact that Mavado and I are currently in negotiation as to how best we can publicly make a cry for peace.

Vybz Kartel also declared there is no animosity between him and the Gully Gad and he will definitely be available to stand with David Brooks aka Mavado on December 9th in Half Way Tree Square.

Similar sentiments hailed from Mavado's camp as Julian and Mavado recently met with Bishop Herro Blair in which they put forth the idea of a peace march headed by Mavado and Vybz Kartel from Cassava Piece/Big Yard right to Half Way Tree or to Stadium where both could perhaps give a unification performance on stage together. This message of peace would be compounded by a "paint-out day," ridding communities of the Gully/Gaza graffiti that now decorates many a wall and zinc fence, with the artists also taking part.

"We also think a tangible message of peace could come in the form of a peace record. We put this latter proposition to Minister Babsy Grange who took the idea one step further, suggesting that Artists who have feuded over the decades could take part in this record - Bounty/Beenie, Ninja/Shabba, Stitchie/San etc which we accord is an excellent idea".

OutAroad.com will definitely be there to capture every moment.

Banton explains that he only met with the gays because Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who is running for San Francisco Mayor, made a request:

"It is not about boxing food out my mouth, if a that I would have surrendered to the system a long time ago. The mayor of San Francisco, or the mayor-to-be, claimed that I was in his district and that it was imperative for him and his organisation to meet with me to further see what kind of personality or character (I have)."

Buju Banton meets with LGBT activists in San Francisco

ldb674.jpgIn the wake of cancellations of most of the show on his US tour, Jamaican dancehall singer Buju Banton, met yesterday for 40-minutes in San Francisco with gay right activist to discuss his differences with the LGBT community.

The meeting, organized by SF mayoral candidate and supervisor Bevan Dufty, also included, executive director of the SF gay community center Rebecca Rolfe, Equality California’s Andrea Shorter, SF Supervisor Eric Mar and activist Michael Petrelis.

The group explained that American gays are not singling Banton out, as they also advocate for gay tolerance in Jamaica, and have also applied pressure on the Jamaican government and business leaders to affect change that benefits gays across the island nation.

Petrelis said on his blog…
“The meeting was very civil and productive, even though at times I had to play the “bad cop” activist, especially when Buju was dominating the discussion, and we made several suggestions for him to consider, in order to start to undo some of the problems he has in the gay community because of his past anti-gay lyrics.”

Petrelis also said the group proposed that Banton think about making statements in Jamaica calling for love toward gays, donating to the JFLAG group, hold a town hall meeting in Kingston about the need to respect gays, and sing about loving gay people.

All of the groups’ suggestions were rejected by Banton and his people according to Petrelis. Banton was scheduled to perform in Chicago, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston and other cities, however, after a campaign that was initially organized by the LA Gay & Lesbian Center, and the liberal website change.org against Banton, clubs began to cancel his appearances.

Bounty Denied Entry Into Trinidad - Vybz Kartel Lock It Down

Bounty Killer did not get the chance to "Cease Fire” with his arch-rival Vybz Kartel over the weekend at a concert which was held at the George V Park in Port-of-Spain as he was denied entry into the country by Immigration officers at the Piarco International Airport.

Information reaching OutAroad.com is that Bounty who was expected to perform at the Cease Fire concert arrived at Piarco Airport minutes after 8pm last Friday (October 2, 2009) onboard flight BW 415. However, as soon as Mr. Cross, Angry, Miserable exits the aircraft and approached Immigration they immediately informed him that he was not granted permission to enter the Country. Bounty Killer had to wait 12 hours for the next available flight back to Jamaica.

According to newsday.co.tt, a source close to the concert promoter, Jacho Entertainment, claimed that they were given no logical explanation as to why Bounty Killer was denied entry. The source said initially they were told that Bounty Killer failed to produce a work permit and then they were told that he was given no permission to enter Trinidad. Local artiste Ken Charles, also known as KMC, slammed the authorities for denying Bounty Killer entry to the country and said that the promoter should sue the State.

Even though patrons were upset with the Immigration decision fans still turned out in their numbers to witness a brilliant performance from Vybz Kartel along with a few members of his Empire.

foota-hype-selector.jpgWith the recent feud between Mavado and Foota Hype, many persons thought Foota would have part ways with the Alliance, which was formed by dancehall heavy weight Bounty Killer.

According to Foota Hype, Bounty Killer is the leader of the Alliance so the feud between him and the Gully Gad does not decide his future with the Alliance.

Foota Hype has no more connections with Cassava Piece.

Days ago, when Foota Hype went to the Constant Spring Police Station requesting their help to move his mother out of Cassava Piece he was arrested for allegedly assaulting someone from the said community. However, the moment Foota Hype was released he continues his quest of getting his mother out of the community which he did.

OutAroad.com gets to understand that Foota Hype has not only moves out of the community but he also painted out an image that was spray painted on a wall in the community by friends. Foota however believed that the painting of his face on the wall has created a bad image for him, as most persons who saw the photo tends to believe that he's one of the Dons for Cassava Piece.

In recent news, there have been reports of Foota Hype mother's house being fired on by thugs aligned to Mavado. Within days after Mavado's Range Rover was sprayed with bullets, which left persons questioning if it's a reprisal shooting. However, Mavado denies the allegations while Foota Hype stated that he has nothing to do with the shooting of Mavado's Range Rover.

Ladies beware of the Date Rape Pill (Rohypnol)?

gang-girl-men-raped.jpgOutAroad.com gets to understand that a letter has been circulating stating that five men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped a young woman, who they took to the Zen nightclub in Trinidad on a Saturday night.

Tests later confirmed repeat rapes and along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood and Progesterex, which is essentially a small sterilization pill.

The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals. Rumour has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can’t remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before.

Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist need not worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later. The drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY-They are P*E*R*M*A*N*E*N*T! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big everywhere.

Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to. Please SEND this STORY to everyone you know, especially girls! Be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. Please make the effort to PASS this on to all you know!! Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives.

Is it a Hoax?

However, according en.wikipedia.org Progesterex is a fictitious date rape drug. It is part of a hoax that began to circulate in 1999 via e-mail on the internet. No actual drug by this name or even with these properties exists, and no such incident has ever been documented or confirmed.

Ladies even if the Date Rape story is not true please use this as a reminder to not be stupid when out drinking up with people - male or female you know or don't know"

Steelie Reflects on Steely: Steelie Bashment Mourns the Death of His Namesake

steely_and_clevie_456_001.jpg

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson. His passing is a tremendous loss to the Dancehall industry, and a tremendous loss to me personally -- Steely is the man who sparked my love of music and inspired me to be a selector.

Talk to anyone who grew up with me, and they'll tell you that I idolized Steely from Silver Hawk Sound. When I struggling to establish myself as a selector in the early days, I adopted the name 'Steelie' with the goal to one day have my own sound and be at the top of the game -- like Steely.

As part of the legendary production team Steely & Clevie, Steely gave us those signature sounds like the Punanny Rhythm, the Street Sweeper Rhythm, Skettel...Nine Night...Sniper...Sleepy Dog...I could go on and on and on. He was part of the genius behind Dancehall classics like Shabba's "Ting-A-Ling," and "Twice My Age;" "Sorry" by Foxy Brown; "Double Trouble" by Beres Hammond; "Boops" by Supercat; "Murder Dem" by Ninja Man; "Ram Dancehall" by Tiger; "Hot Gyal Today" by Sean Paul & Vegas...and that's not even the half.

Veronica Campbell-Brown Defends Her Decision

By Secret Agent
OutAroad.com Writer

veronica-campbell-brown.jpgVeronica Campbell has come forth to defend her reason for not running on the winning 4x100m relay team yesterday(August 22, 09) at the World Championships held in Berlin.

Veronica Campbell said that the staff and management team was unprofessional for requesting her to run the third leg couple of hours before the race. According to Veronica, it was impossible for her to run the third leg because that was not what she had practiced for.

The double Olympic 200 metres champion Veronica also mentioned that she would never turn her back on her country because whenever she attends or representing for Jamaica at these games her aim is to get the National anthem hammering through the speakers around the stadium.

According to a source from the Jamaican camp, "she made the right move because if she had ran the leg and did not pull through for Jamaica then everyone would also be blaming her for being selfish to run the third leg especially the fact that her toe was wrapped in Kinesio-tape because of a toe injury.

The source also added that this is not the time to be pointing fingers at anyone because even though she did not run - the other girls still went out there and represent for Jamaica, which shows there are multiple talents in the camp and if one person is sick then they should not be afraid to replace that person but make sure it's done way before the required time.

Michael Jackson Death Now Confirmed

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY and DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press Writers Nekesa Mumbi Moody And Derrik J. Lang, Associated Press Writers
news.yahoo.com

michael-jackson-funeral_death.jpg

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson, the moonwalking former child star who became known the world over as the "King of Pop" before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50. The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves, his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove and tight, military-style jacket were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. Over the years, his skin became lighter and his nose narrower.

Michael Jackson Hospitalized - Death Unconfirmed

Source: foxnews.com

050608_michael_jackson_vmed.widec.jpgMichael Jackson was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Thursday afternoon, police told FOX News, but his condition wasn't immediately clear.

TMZ reported that the legendary singer, 50, went into cardiac arrest and had to receive CPR in the ambulance. Joe Jackson, his father, told multiple news sources that his son is not doing well.

Paramedics responded to a 911 call at around 12:26 p.m. PDT, the Los Angeles Times reported. He was reportedly not breathing at the time of their arrival.

A Jackson spokesman was unavailable for comment.

Jackson, the youngest brother in Motown's legendary Jackson 5, earned the name 'King of Pop' as a solo act in the 1980s, when he became one of the best-selling musicians in the world, particularly for the hit album "Thriller."

His star power has faded considerably since then, partly because of allegations of child molestation.

Chris Brown gets probation, labor for Rihanna assault

chris_brown_sentence_rihanna.jpg

Chris Brown pleaded guilty Monday to count of felony assault on pop star Rihanna.

Brown entered his plea before a preliminary hearing was scheduled to start in Los Angeles on Monday. Rihanna had been on standby to testify.

After Brown left the courtroom, Rihanna was addressed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg, who explained to the Barbados-born singer that she had issued a stay-away order, requiring Brown and Rihanna stay at least 50 yards from each, except at industry events when the distance is reduced to 10 yards.

Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, said the plea deal includes five years of supervised probation and six months of community labor. Brown will be formally sentenced on Aug. 5.

Schnegg accepted Brown's plea, but specified the community service must entail hard labor, citing Caltrains cleaning or graffiti removal as an example. She said Brown likely will be allowed to do his community service in his home state of Virginia. He'll also be required to attend domestic violence classes.

Lawyers for Brown, 20, and Rihanna, 21, refused to discuss the status of the pair's relationship. Brown was arrested Feb. 8, after police say he hit and threatened Rihanna after leaving a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles.

"Best of The Best was boring," said Patrons

bestbest-miami.jpg

When the OutAroad.com team and other media houses arrived at the Best of The Best event held in Miami, we were all treated like prisoners as the promoters restricted us from moving freely. The stage was not media friendly because Photographers/videographers were only allowed to shoot the artistes from the left side only. However, shortly after that side profile "luxury" came to an end as the promoters decided not have any photographers or videographers near the stage. Therefore, since there was nothing to capture - the OutAroad.com team decided to capture the views of the patrons listed below.

Loraine aka Lora, Age: 24
This will be my last time attending this show it has nothing to offer. I enjoyed Destra and Beenie Man performances they both represented for their countries. Mavado mi dads mi lose off a yuh, you should have never performed along with the Alliance, Mavado has too much hit songs fi a share mic with Bounty, Serani and Kiprich. Mavado needs to know his true potential and stop acting like he's a child - it's time for him to step out of Bounty's shadow and grow up that Alliance thing not working for him anymore - time fi him start focus on the youths dem from the Gully.

------------------------------------------------

Comar Daley, Age: 20
A Gaza mi seh and will never stop saying Gaza, yow mi can’t wait fi Kartel get back him visa and teach di Alliance how fi work stage shows, Serani, Bounty, Kiprich and Mavado all together couldn’t even mek one. Serani nuh sound good, Bounty songs dem old, Monster Empire were not there for Kiprich to clash wid and Mavado was just not in the mood to perform. Beenie Man should have been the one to close the show, these artistes need to ask Beenie Man what's his secret for giving a good performance.

------------------------------------------------

Camilla Edwards, Age: 26
Personally this show should have named Best of The Worse, mi nah lie some of the artistes apart from Beenie Man tried to entertained but mi never expect Elephant Man fi displayed such a boring performance and then here comes Serani right after Elephant Man who seems to be searching for the right voice to sing his songs, mi love Serani songs but him must know seh the way how yuh dress has a lot to do with connecting with the crowd, so when him ran on pon stage in a stripe polo shirt and waan old pants dat nuh mek it. Beenie Man is really di king of the dancehall because while performing Beenie realized that him never a gwaan wid nothing and then right away him just lift him performance level and done di place, by dissing up Bounty and the Alliance.
