Friday Facts
Rapper Sean Kingston will have to face a judge for an alleged sexual assault, according to celebrity web site TMZ. The plaintiff, Carissa Capeloto, filed a multi-million dollar civil suit against the singer claiming she was gang raped in his hotel room by him, his bodyguard and a member of his band. According to Capeloto, she was invited to a meet-and-greet with the pop star following a Justin Bieber concert in 2010. Kingston had also performed that night. When she arrived at his hotel room, he was naked and in bed. His bodyguard then forced her on to Kingston, and then he, Kingston and a band member had sex with her while she was "obviously intoxicated and incapable of consent". She consumed 7-10 shots of vodka and smoked marijuana. Capeloto says a friend came to the room to help and police were called. The police interrogated Kingston. Capeloto was taken to a hospital where she was treated for her injuries. Criminal charges were dropped after authorities concluded that Capeloto's story wasn't credible. Capeloto now says she's been having trouble sleeping and also suffers from moods swings and panic attacks since the incident and is seeking $5 million. Kingston, meanwhile, has filed a counter claim insisting that the sex was consensual. The two will go to trial in November. Rapper Jay Z continues to waves in the music industry. He inked a deal with social networking site Facebook to premiere his "Holy Grail" CD on his Facebook page. The premiere was another successful venture for the Brooklyn native, and there's surely more to come. Rapper Waka Flocka Flame and his current lady love will reportedly be added to the cast of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta". No word on when episodes featuring the two will air. The Brooklyn street where the late Notorious B.I.G. grew up could soon be named in his honor. A petition drive has been started to change the intersection of St. James Place and Fulton Way to Christopher Wallace Way, according to Complex.com. The rapper was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1997. In theaters this weekend: "Closed Circuit", "Getaway" and "One Direction: This Is Us". On the tube: "Bones" on Fox, "Undercover Boss" on CBS, "Last Man Standing" on ABC and "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" on NBC. Make it a weekend!
