Tuesday Tales
Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Rapper Flava Flav was arrested in Las Vegas after a routine traffic stop. It turns out he had four warrants out for him, all traffic violations. He was released after posting bail. Flava tweeted about the incident saying that the officer who pulled him over was just a rookie who wanted to make a name for himself. Rapper Wiz Khalifa responded to rumors he and Kanye West almost came to blows at this years Cochellea Festival by saying that although he heard West's lyrics dissing Amber Rose, he' all about positivity. "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez will release the video for her single "I'm Into You". Although Lil Wayne appears on the song, he doesn't appear in the video. Old school rapper Boss has taken to Twitter to search for a kidney donor. The female MC is in need of a kidney transplant and is looking for help. She's also involved with "Rappers For Kidneys", an organization that includes artists who spread awareness about kidney disease. The trial of Michael Jackson's doctor has been pushed back to September. Dr Conrad Murray's lawyers successfully argued that they don't have time to prepare for next week's trial due to new evidence the prosecution has presented. In more Michael Jackson news, Chris Brown's video for his latest single "She Ain't You" pays tribute to the late singer. In one scene, he even wears a costume similar to one MJ whore in his "Smooth Criminal" video. The song is a reworking of Jackson's hit "Human Nature". 1990's girl group SWV sampled the song for their 1993 hit "Right Here". Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco, who appears on the cover of the latest issue of XXL, recently made his disdain for blogs clear during an interview. It appears that one blog in question has leaked songs from his latest album "Lasers". Although it hasn't been confirmed, rumor has it that Lupe and the lead blogger for 2dopeboyz.com got into a altercation recently. At any rate, Lupe says the internet has been instrumental in promoting hip hop. As fans continue to wait with baited breath for the release of Dr Dre's "Detox" album, it's been announced that the doctor will release another track from the album on Friday called "Die Hard". The track will be played during an episode of Showtime's "Fight Camp 360: Pacquiao/Mosley". The track features protege Eminem. There's still no confirmed release date for the album, however. Be sure to catch the "Dancing With The Stars" results show. Contestants and fans will learn who will be sent home. Rapper Nicki Minaj is scheduled to perform on the show as well. "Glee" airs tonight as well. Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Price, Fleet Foxes, Stevie Nicks and Musiq Soulchild have new music in stores this week. On DVD: "The Green Hornet" and "The Dilemma". On the tube: "Glee" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC and "Biggest Loser: Couples" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
