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.
Illegal Search And Seizure?
Remember last week when Snoop Dogg's tour bus got pulled over for having expired tags, and in the process of writing a ticket cops smelled weed, which they used as probable cause to search the bus where they found 2lbs of weed, which Snoops boy's valiantly took the fall for? Snoop's lawyer says the bus' tags were not expired.
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."
