Sad news out of hip hop. Rapper Meek Mill is mourning the lost of protégé Lil Snupe. The teen rapper was gunned down in  a Louisiana home he was visiting.

Some media outlets are reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have named their baby girl North West, although no one in the couple's camp has confirmed this. At any rate, congratulations to the couple. Rumors of a collaboration between rapper/singer Wyclef Jean and actress Amanda Bynes were shut down by Jean's representatives who told TMZ there is no collaboration. The actress has been the focus of a lot of media attention for erratic behavior.

She did say that she looks forward to touring and seeing her fans at her concerts. A crazed fan recently sent a message to rapper J.
