C MURDER GETS LIFE IN PRISON
It's official -- Corey "C-Murder" Miller will spend the rest of his life in prison. The rapper, who was convicted of murder for the 2002 killing of 16-year-old Steven Thomas, was sentenced in a Louisiana courtroom on Friday. After Miller's 2003 conviction was overturned, he was retried and found guilty by a second jury.
BOBBY BROWN FINNA GET LOCKED UP! SURPRISE, SURPRISE...
Bobby Brown hasn't been arrested all year -- but that could change soon. Last week, a judge in Massachusetts issued an arrest warrant for the singer on a contempt complaint. Norfolk judge Christina Harms ordered Brown arrested the next time he's in Massachusetts after he failed to appear at a June 29th hearing. Brown -- who recently had a baby with girlfriend Alicia Ethrdige -- apparently owes 45-thousand dollars in child support for the two teenage children he had with former girlfriend Kim Ward. Brown was jailed for four days in 2007 for failing to make child-support payments.
JANET JACKSON BACK WITH JIMMY JAM AND TERRY LEWIS & MICHAEL JACKSON???
As you may have heard, Janet Jackson is hard at work on a new album, and for the first time in nearly a decade she's reunited with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
Word is that Jimmy and Terry have acquired the rights to a bunch of old vocals from Janet's brother Michael, and that they'll be using Michael's vocals on at least one of Janet's new songs.
Sounds like something to get excited about. It's still probably not enough to make us want to buy Janet's new album . . . But hey, at least they're trying.
And speaking of trying. There's a rumor going around that R-&-B singer Usher's estranged wife Tameka Raymond is looking to do her own reality show.
According to our sources, she's looking to do a "uplifting show about Tameka dealing [with] life after Usher."
Bump an uplifting show -- we want to see her on the Real Housewives of Atlanta! I'd pay big bucks to watch her and NeNe rip each others hair out.
BRAD PITT NO LONGER "HAS FIVE ON IT!" DANG!!
Brad Pitt told Bill Maher on H-B-O's Real Time Friday that he gave up pot for his kids. After Maher talked about Brad rolling "perfect joints" during a New Year's Eve party, Angelina Jolie's significant other said he gave up weed because "I'm a dad now. You want to be alert."
JACKASS OF THE WEEK BLACK MAN ARRESTED IN SUPREMACIST PRANK
An African-American Mississippi man pleaded guilty last week to federal charges of communicating threats in interstate commerce -- for posing as a white supremacist and threatening a black man. Dyron L. Hart created a fake Facebook page to make death threats against a black student at Nicholls State University in Louisiana, saying he wanted to kill African-Americans because of President Obama's election. Hart -- who says he wanted to "get a reaction" -- will face a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a 250-thousand-dollar fine when sentenced on November 18th.
MICHAEL VICK KEEPS IT "100" ON 60 MINUTES
A very contrite Michael Vick was the subject of last night's lead segment on 60 Minutes. Vick, whose used the pornish name Ron Mexico in the past to cement his image of urban cool, has emerged from prison a seemingly changed man. Vick said that his involvement with dogfighting makes him today feel "disgust" and that it "sickens me to my stomach." Vick said that he's committed to working with the Humane Society in community outreach to spread the message of loving animals. Vick said people will "see how I care now -- how I care about animals." He called himself "a living example of what not to do."
Perhaps the most shocking admission by Vick was that he "deserved to lose the 130-million" N-F-L contract for "doing the wrong things." Last week, Vick signed a two-year deal that could be worth as much as seven-million dollars with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Vick not only talked about his involvement in the dogfighting ring, but also about lying after he was caught. He said that lying to Arthur Blank -- the owner of his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, who stood by him after his dogfighting arrest, gave Vick a "hurt deep inside...a hurt I never felt before, knowing that I disappointed him." He added that Blank "cared about me, and I took it all for granted."
Vick admitted that during his time in prison, he cried many nights because of "what I did, being away from my family, letting so many people down, letting myself down, not being out on the football field, being in a prison bed, in a prison bunk, writing letters home. That wasn't my life. That wasn't the way that things was supposed to be. And all because of the so-called culture that I thought was right; that I thought it was cool, that I thought it was
fun and exciting at the time. It all led to me laying in a prison bunk, by myself. With nobody to talk to but myself." When asked who was at fault, Vick bluntly stated, "I blame me." Vick also said that he rediscovered God during
his time in prison.
Vick recalled an incident from his humble childhood in Newport News, Virginia, where two cops got out of a car where he and a bunch of neighborhood kids had gathered to watch dogs fight. When the cops saw it was dogs, they got back in their car and left. "So that right there kinda made me feel like, 'Okay this ain't as bad as it may seem.' We didn't think it was bad at the time and that kinda put a stamp on it." MONTAGE OF MICHAEL VICK AUDIO
