Mos Def Attacks Photographer

Mos Def does not like paparazzi or random people taking his picture. So Mos was in Las Vegas for the MAGIC fashion convention when some random dude, who didn't know Mos' aversion to snapshots, tried to get a picture of the camera-shy rapper/actor. They say your boy went off, screaming: "Everybody knows I don't take pictures!" and snatched dude's camera off his neck, cutting the shooters hand in the process. Mos is now under investigation for larceny and you can bet a lawsuit is not far behind.

Dog Unleashed

Surprise, surprise. DMX got let out of jail. Even though he cussed out the judge for denying him bail, his attorney was able to work out a plea deal for time served and a $483 fine for trying to buy coke and weed from an undercover officer in Miami this past June. That takes care of his Miami charges, now he just has to settle his business in Arizona.

OJ And Arnell Got Into It

OJ Simpson and his oldest daughter Arnell got into a knock down drag out fight in Florida this past Sunday. They say it all started with OJ's girlfriend, Nicole Brown-Simpson look-a-like, Christine Prody. Arnell and Christine were arguing about Chris being a drunk bitch when OJ stepped in and took Chris's side. That's when Arnell let OJ have it, blasting him for lavishing money on Christine while Arnell's mother, OJ's first wife, Marguerite Whitley, has to work at Walmart. They say Arnell busted her 61 year old father in the mouth and pushed him to the ground opening a gash on his head. They say Arnell herself called 911 after feeling guilty for kicking her father's ass.

K-Ci Explains

Death Row Not Sold

There's been a lot of controversy over the sale of Death Row. First, convicted drug dealer Michael Harris and his wife successfully sued Suge [from jail] for $107 million dollars claiming they helped found The Row but where cheated out of profits. The Harris' sued to collect judgement and forced Death Row into bankruptcy, where it was picked up by The Global Music group for $24 million. To make a long story short, Global Music never came up with the money to complete to sale so Death Row is going back on the block.
