Wednesday Roundup

West Coast hip hop pioneer Too Short was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles recently. Police pulled the rapper over in the wee hours of the morning and noticed he seemed to be under the influence. When they attempted to administer a breathalyzer test, he fled on foot, tripping along the way. Police took him into custody shortly after. To make matters worse, he attempted to dump narcotics into a police cruiser after he was arrested. He has not commented on the incident. The first of four victims to come forward in the Kevin Klash case has filed a lawsuit claiming Klash used crystal meth and mollies before having sexual contact with him when he was sixteen-years-old. It looks like not everyone is thrilled with BeyoncĂ©'s new single, "Bow Down". Her camp has made it clear that they don't like the song, going so far as to say that it won't appear on her new album. We'll have to wait and see. Singer R. Kelly's home was sold at auction for $950,000 well below the asking price. The singer hadn't made payments in quite some  time. However, according to his spokesperson, he's no low on funds despite owing the government $5 million in taxes. Justin Timberlake fans will be happy to know that during a recent interview the singer revealed that a sequel to his new album "20/20 Experience". He broke the news at a listening party for the album. The rumor actually began circulating after Quest Love of the Roots posted an announcement on Oakplayer message board. Timberlake spent the week taking a nightly residency with Quest Love on  "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and the two appeared on stage together during Timberlake's headlining "My Space Secret Show" SXSW performance. Although the singer didn't confirm when the sequel will be released, it's sure to be as successful as the first. A Sony representative did, however, clear up the rumor that Timberlake will star as Daddy Warbucks in the Jay Z/Will Smith produced remake of "Annie" by saying the rumor isn't true. On the tube: "American Idol" on Fox, "Survivor: Caramoan: Fans Vs Favorites" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "Whitney" on NBC. Happy hump day!
