Morgan Freeman In Serious Accident
Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident Sunday night in north Mississippi. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest.
Emergency crews extracted Freeman and his passenger from their vehicle using the jaws of life. According to Williams, they were both airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where Freeman was listed in serious condition Monday morning.
The condition of Freeman's passenger has not been released.

Was There A Shooting Or Not
There was. This past weekend Jermaine Dupri took over Atlanta for his annual So So Def Weekend. The weekend long party hop is a non stop celebration including a celebrity basketball game, a star studded bowling tournament and of course, a bunch of club parties. Anyway, this year, like last year, there was a shooting at one of the clubs, or was there? While various news outlets and pictures from Atlpics.net seemed to support the shooting allegations, at first JD's people released a statement claiming the loud pop heard in the club, that sent celebs like P Diddy, Nia Long, Sanna Lathan, LisaRaye and Da Brat scrambling, was nothing more than a speaker popping or maybe a champagne cork. That explanation, however, did not explain how a bouncer got grazed on the arm by a bullet. JD and 'nem finally had to admit were was indeed a shooting, but that it was an isolated incident. JD told the press, "I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. But I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues."
Bow Wow Says
About his first on-screen sex scene: "I know the girls, they’re going to go crazy when they see it,” he said of his appearance on the HBO series Entourage. “The ladies are gonna go crazy when they see Bow Wow’s first sex scene. It’s crazy ’cause for me, it was normal. It was normal, but I know when I look back at it, when I see it, I’m gonna be like, ‘Damn! Look at this. This is crazy!’ I stun myself sometimes, I can’t even front." "It was with an adult film star. I don’t know her name,” he said of the actress. “She probably watching this like, ‘What?! I did a scene with him, and he doesn’t remember my name?!’ Nah, I don’t remember her name, but she was bad though. She was baaaaad! I was cool. I was comfortable with it. I was definitely comfortable with it. It is what it is — normal stuff that happens.”
