Friday Facts

Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight was arrested recently. Knight was pulled over after making an unsafe lane change, authorities pulled Knight over, discovered he had outstanding warrants, and later discovered marijuana inside his vehicle. He was booked and later released. Knight may be in even deeper trouble, as this latest arrest violates his three-years unsupervised probation. Singer Chris Brown has been ordered to stay away from ex-girlfriend Rihanna when the two attend this weekend's Grammy awards. Fans recall the confrontation between the two three years ago, which resulted in Brown pleading guilty to assault and receiving probation. The two will perform at the event, though not together, and have been nominated for several awards as well. British sensation Adele talked openly about the throat trouble that saw her cancel both a U.S. and U.K. tour. The singer underwent successful laser surgery on her throat and discussed the experience in an interview that will air this Sunday on "60 Minutes". She says the hardest part was not talking, as she was instructed not to speak. She also went on to say she would either write down what she had to say, or type it into an app on her smartphone. Adele will perform for the first time in months on the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday February 12 at 8 pm, on CBS. Although she's been nominated a total of 12 time, legendary singer Diana Ross has never won a Grammy award during  her 50-year career. The Recording Academy will honor Ross during this Sunday's ceremony with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She will receive the honor as part of The Supremes and as a solo artist. She's had several hit records, appeared in several films and performed sold out concerts all over the world and has influenced generations of singers. The mother of singer Ne-Yo's two children has adopted 48 children in Swaziland. Actually, she's agreed to pay for the living expenses of all the children for a year. Rapper 50 Cent has done a good dead as well. The G-Unit general has partnered with an organization to fight hunger. Fans who've seen the trailor for the upcoming season of "Basketball Wives" know there's definitely more drama to come. Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams duke it out and only time will tell what else is in store for fans. Be sure to tune in. In theaters this weekend: "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island", "Safe House", "Star Wars: Episode 1: Phantom Menace" and "The Vow". On the tube: "Kitchen Nightmares" on Fox, "A Gifted Man" on CBS, "Shark Tank" on ABC and "Who Do You Think You Are?" on NBC. Make it a weekend!
