The rapper was driving his vehicle about 12:30 am and police pulled him over in a “routine” traffic stop, according to TMZ.com. Krayzie Bone, 39, was suspected as being intoxicated, authorities said.

KATHERINE JACKSON CASE Judge Orders Investigator To Interview Children

Image
The judge in the  Katherine Jackson  case needs help deciding to whom he should award permanent guardianship of MJ's children -- so he's ordered an independent investigator to interview the kids ... and report back asap. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ,  Judge Mitchell Beckloff  has ordered a probate court investigator named  Cary Ornelas  to "prepare an investigation report addressing the status of the minor children and their currently suspended guardian, Katherine Jackson." According to the court order, Ornelas has been authorized to interview the Jackson children at their school ... without notice. Once completed, Ornelas' report will be submitted to the judge ... for his eyes only. Michael Jackson's nephew  TJ Jackson  is currently the kids' temporary guardian, and he has already filed documents asking to make the guardianship permanent. For her part -- Katherine says she has reached an agreement with TJ under which they will

CONRAD HILTON Behind Bars After Weed Arrest

Conrad Hilton  -- Paris Hilton's youngest brother -- is currently behind bars in juvenile hall in Downtown L..A. ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.  We're told 18-year-old Hilton was arrested after testing positive for marijuana ... a violation of his probation stemming from a previous marijuana arrest.  Hilton will remain in custody until he gets before a judge ... and considering it's Friday evening, he might be stuck behind bars until Monday.  So far, no comment from the Hilton camp.

KATHERINE JACKSON Guardianship Ruling "BASED ON LIES"

Image
Katherine Jackson  is challenging the court ruling that temporarily stripped her of guardianship of  Michael Jackson 's children -- and claiming she never wanted TJ Jackson to step into the role ... despite court documents stating otherwise. In a taped segment for ABC's  "Nightline"  ... Katherine read prepared comments from a notebook, and said -- "Their ruling in court today was about the guardianship, and I think it was based on a bunch of lies. But I have a good idea who's doing that ... who's behind it." Katherine went on to say she spoke to TJ last night and "told him it wasn't necessary for him to go down and sign up for guardianship, but I don't know who instructed him to do that ... 'cause he wanted me to come home before that happened." It's a strange statement because Katherine seems to be acknowledging she knew TJ was going to file for guardianship ... but not before she got home. In fact, as we reported

Prince Michael exposes text message with family members to prove he was kept away from grandma Katherine Jackson

Image
MARK DAVIS/GETTY IMAGES Prince Jackson said he was 'really angry and hurt' by his family's actions. Michael Jackson’s teen son Prince Michael lashed out at his superstar aunt Janet Jackson Thursday morning just moments after his long-awaited reunion with his guardian grandmother. The 15-year-old had been silent beside his more vocal sister Paris, 14, as the famous dynasty devolved into civil war, but he stepped forward on Twitter with the claim Janet blocked his access to beloved matriarch Katherine Jackson. He posted an image of a purported group chat he initiated with aunts Janet and Rebbie on Monday afternoon, hours after surveillance tape posted on TMZ.com appeared to show Janet grabbing at Paris’ cell phone during a visit to his Calabasas home with Michael’s brothers Randy and Jermaine “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!” Prince Michael states in the text allegedly sent at 4

Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 7/23/2012

Nas grabs his fifth #1 album with "Life Is Good." Meanwhile, veteran West Coast rapper/singer and Above The Law affiliate Kokane pulls two projects into the Top 200, one from over a year ago. Nas achieved the fifth #1 album of his career this week. By a 70,000 unit margin,  Nas'   Life Is Good  assumed the spot at the top of the charts. Beating out last week's winner, Zac Brown Band, the Def Jam Records release followed 2008's  Untitled , which sold 40,000 more first week-units. While  The Alchemist's   Russian Roulette  missed the Top 200, veteran Pomona, California singer/emcee  Kokane strangely got a huge second week boost on his July 1 project,  Dr. Kokastein . The Bud E Boy Records retail mixtape also saw a push in Mr. Kane's 2011 album on the same label,  The Legend Continues . The '12 effort, hosted by DJ King Assassin, features  Young Jeezy ,  E-40 ,  Tha Alkaholiks  and the late KMG. Life Is Really Good For Nas With a #1 album, Que

How Touré Failed Hip-Hop AND America

Image
 By Dart Adams   On July 14th, the  Washington Post  published a piece by Touré  titled  “ How America And Hip-Hop Failed Each Other .”  Touré's editorial quickly made the rounds through the Hip-Hop blogosphere. I personally read it and have to say that I have a few issues with his article. The data that Touré used regarding the war on drugs, the incarceration rates, unemployment rates and the books he brings into the discussion to help hammer home his conclusion was not the problem. Oddly enough, where Touré's entire piece fell apart was when he discussed anything regarding Hip-Hop. Let me explain why… Basically Touré's entire article hinges on how Hip-Hop went from having a majority Black audience in the 80's, when it was largely Afrocentric and fairly conscious/uplifting, to possessing a mostly Caucasian audience that reveled in criminal/gangsta archetypes in the 90's. Touré attributes this changeover directly to America's war on drugs, begun by Richard

Katherine Jackson Speaks: "My Children Would Never Hold Me Against My Will"

Tells ABC News she is "devasted" her grandchildren have been taken from her. By Evelyn Diaz Posted: 07/26/2012 09:00 AM EDT Ten days after  Katherine Jackson  was whisked away to Arizona for "rest and relaxation," causing a  civil war  within her family, the 82-year-old matriarch has broken her silence. Appearing in a pre-taped interview on ABC News'  Nightline , surrounded by her children  Jermaine Jackson , Janet Jackson ,  Rebbie Jackson , Rebbie's daughter and — inexplicably — a marketing director for the Tuscon spa where she has been holed up, Katherine read a prepared statement from a notebook: "I am here today to let everybody know that I am fine and I am here with my children, and my children would never do a thing to me like that, holding me against my will. It's very stupid for people to think that," she began. Katherine went on to say she is "devastated" at losing custody of her grandchildr

Jackson Family Feud Caught on Tape

video platform video management video solutions video player   B-13 Peer Review : This is a little disappointing, I thought that Janet would be the great equalizer in this situation. I must admit I was a little disappointed to see that Janet had taken issue with the tweets.  Paris had a concern that should have been addressed first and foremost. I can understand why Paris sent the smoke signals, because if the person you know as parent/ guardian takes off (allegedly) without notice and you don't hear from them you would naturally be alarmed. Janet could have expressed her concerns about the tweets after addressing the issue; if indeed what has been reported is true.   Now I would like to address the obvious if this incident happened on the Jackson compound, how did the media get a hold of the footage? For those that know to pray, pray for this family.  Read More: - KATHERINE JACKSON Reported M

Sherman Hemsley Dies at 74

BY MAGGIE COUGHLAN Tuesday July 24, 2012 04:40 PM EDT Sherman Hemsley Sherman Hemsley, the hot-tempered, upwardly mobile, janitor-turned-dry-cleaner-owner George Jefferson in TV's iconic The Jeffersons , has died at 74.  Hemsley died at his home in El Paso, Texas, police say. A cause of death was not immediately known.  Introduced each week with the gospel  Movin' On Up  theme song, Norman Lear's show gave Hemsley a larger-than-life character who delivered a brand of comedy all his own.  Zingers like "If I paid you to think, you could cash your check at the penny arcade!" paired with over-the-top gestures left audiences across the country in stitches. The show has lived on for years in reruns on cable.  The actor, who first played the role in  All in the Family  – going head to bigoted head with Carroll O'Connor's Archie Bunker – went on to embody a softer character, Deacon Ernest Frye on TV's  Amen .  Born in South Philadelphia, He
