 50
Cent Avoids Jail |
AP reports: The rapper 50 Cent will avoid
jail time for allegedly trampling two women and punching a third during
a concert last year, as long as he stays drug free and doesn't commit any
other crimes for two years.
If the entertainer, whose real name is
Curtis Jackson, meets the conditions set by Judge Robert Kumor on Friday,
the assault and battery charges will be dropped. If he doesn't, he could
spend time in jail. [see full story for more]- Click

| Weiland
Vs Media |
Rockdirt reports: Velvet Revolver frontman
Scott Weiland has issued the following statement: "Lately I have felt an
increasing need to set the record straight since false information and
gross distortions continue to get proliferated through the media in many
forms by dishonest and disingenuous writers/journalists who are supported
by their publications. It is not a crusade for the truth, it is a realization
that the neo-tabloidism sells magazines, but also...wrecks marriages...wrecks
families...wrecks careers...wrecks lives!!!"
"Yeah, there is probably some writer, critic
or journarazzi that's saying to himself or among others, 'Oh, poor rock
stars, oh, poor celebrities.' Well, fu** off! Does doing what I love to
do give you a right to put a bull's eye on my 'back?' Does is give you
the right to make it open season on anyone of notoriety? If you're a motherfu**er
and you still answer yes what about about the ones that really suffer from
your selfish lies and deceit, the children, the wives, the parents, and
the friends!? That can not be justified...period. [see full story for more]-
