Rapper Soulja Boy jailed on drug, weapons charges

Rapper Soulja Boy was arrested on drug and weapons charges on Tuesday after a traffic stop in Georgia, police said.

The 21-year-old entertainer, whose given name is DeAndre Cortez Way, and four crew members traveling in a Cadillac Escalade were pulled over in Temple, Georgia on Interstate 20 near the Alabama line, police spokeswoman Dana Rampy said.

Police discovered marijuana, pistols and cash inside the car after a “routine traffic stop,” Rampy said. She declined to disclose the amount of marijuana or money.

The rapper, three bodyguards and a driver each were arrested on felony charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm, Rampy said.

All five men were booked into the Carroll County jail.

A puppy found in the car has been turned over to relatives of the driver, Rampy said.

Soulja Boy first gained fame with online postings of his songs and his “Crank That” dance demonstration.

Last month, he apologized for lyrics in a song called “Let’s Be Real” that offended some U.S. Army soldiers. In a video posted online for the song, Soulja Boy rapped the lyrics “Fuck the FBI and fuck all the Army troops/Fighting for what?/Bitch be your own man.”

Media outlets reported that stores run by the military would not carry his new album because of the song.

Joe Jackson Admits To Whipping Michael Jackson

As we already know, Joe Jackson has proven once again how horrible he is/was as a father.

Michael Jackson’s parents have finally opened up about reports of capital punishment and “whippings” family patriarch Joe Jackson served up to prevent his nine kids from “going bad.”

Joe Jackson has often denied his most famous son’s allegations of beatings and whippings and he attempted to avoid the subject completely when Oprah Winfrey asked him to be honest about his punishment methods during a candid taped interview for her TV show.

But his wife Katherine insisted the world should know the truth, stating, “You might as well admit it; that’s the way black people raise their children… He (Joe) used a strap.”

Joe Jackson then admitted, “I would have punished by whipping them with a strap or something if they did something wrong.. It would have kept them outta trouble, outta jail. My kids have never been in jail before… and that’s great.”

Asked if he ever regretted his actions, Joe responded, “No, I don’t regret it.”

In a 1993 interview with Winfrey, Michael Jackson opened up about his father’s beatings, admitting he was terrified of his dad.

Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are” Hits #1 On The Charts

Just days after he was arrested in Las Vegas on a cocaine charge, rising R&B singer Bruno Mars, claimed his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart Wednesday.

“Just the Way You Are,” which also marks his first charting single as a lead artist, rose two places to the top and ended the two-week reign of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” which fell to No. 4. (Mars previously went to No. 1 in May, as the featured artist on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You”).

Mars was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of possessing cocaine after a suspicious bathroom attendant at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino alerted authorities.

Don’t ruin your career before it’s really taken off!

Kanye West Apologizes To Taylor Swift On Twitter

With the 2010 MTV Movie Awards looming, Kanye West felt the need to apologize to Taylor Swift nearly a year after his transgression against her at the MTV Movie Awards where he brashly grabbed the microphone from her hand during what was the beginning of her acceptance speech for her Best Female Video Award. Even though this is a re-cap apology as Kanye had already apologized on his blog the night of the kurfuffle, an immediate private and personal apology to Taylor Swift should have come first, one without excuses. Take note, those who purposely make silly and immensely dumb mistakes.

George Michael Arrested After He Crashes His Car In London

British media reports say George Michael has been arrested after a car crash in London.

The BBC says the 47-year-old singer was arrested Sunday after police responded to reports that a car had crashed into a building in Hampstead, an upscale residential area in north London.

Metropolitan Police say only that they arrested a man in his 40s early Sunday in Hampstead on suspicion of being unfit to drive. They say the man was taken to a police station and released on bail pending further inquiries.

The singer’s publicists in London declined comment Tuesday.

Last year, Michael was questioned by police after his car hit a tractor-trailer, but was released. He was banned from driving for two years in 2007 after pleading guilty to driving on drugs.

Is Chris Brown starting with the man in the mirror? He gave a weeping emotional performance at yesterday’s BET Awards Michael Jackson Tribute. When it was time for his performance of “Man in the Mirror,” he completely broke composure, tears running down his face as he struggled through the song until falling to his knees, unable to go on. The audience showed their love by loudly picking up the song, singing along. This after his dance to “Remember the Time,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Billie Jean.”

Maybe Chris Brown is starting with the man in the mirror. Since his sentencing last August for assaulting Rihanna Brown has amassed over 290 hours of community labor service and attended domestic violence classes. He still has hundreds of hours to go, however.

Happy Birthday Chris Brown!

Today is Chris Brown’s birthday, he turns 21.

Do you think Chris is going to be blowing out any candles on a birthday cake?I bet he’s going to with for a new life!

Slowly but surely Chris Brown’s career is going downhill, as it should!

Chris Brown Begs Fans To Help Get His Music On The Radio

Chris Brown is begging his fans to help with his comeback. He doesn’t know what else he can do besides reach out to his fans and get them to request his music on the radio.

Brown is still trying to rebuild his image after he brutally attacked Rihanna. He claims to be a better man, or does he just want more money in his pocket?

He feels like he has done all he can do following the famous incident, so he decided to record some audio (listen below) to make him sound even more desperate.

In a message uploaded to SayNow.com, Brown says, “I ain’t (sic) never really did this but right now I need all of my fans’ help. It’s crazy because a lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They’re not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back because that’s all I need. Nothing else will do that except for the fans. There’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy.”

“My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have any support. I can’t be an underground mix-tape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love y’all. Peace.”
