Tuesday Tales

Rapper/singer Lauryn Hill may be able to avoid jail time for tax evasion. A judge has given her two weeks to come up with a half a million dollars or serve jail time. She could get up to three years in prison in addition to paying fines. A jury has finally been put in place to hear the trial in the death of singer Michael Jackson's death and mother Katherine's lawsuit against concert promoter AEG. No word on a court date. Rapper Jim Jones now says he is the victim of racial  profiling. The rapper was stopped by police some time ago. He was ordered out of the car and his vehicle searched, but nothing was found. He was given a citation for driving without a license. A judge has thrown out rapper Wiz Khalifa's lawsuit against a concert promoter saying Wiz never signed a contract.  Wiz says the company cancelled one of his events without cause. No word on whether he'll appeal. In the meantime, the rapper, along with fellow rapper A$AP Rocky announced dates for the duo's Under The Influence of Music tour.The tour is set to start on July 7 in San Francisco and wrap up in Cincinnati on August 11. B.o.B, Joey Bada$$, Pro Era and Trinidad James will be along for the ride. The tour will be a great way to earn back the money Wiz lost for the cancelled gig. Snoop Lion and W.ill.iam have new music in stores this week. On DVD: "Django Unchained", "The Hunting In Connecticut 2", "Dragon" and "Wigs Of Life". On the tube: "Hell's Kitchen" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Splash" on ABC and "The Voice" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
