STAR talks George Zimmerman fighting DMX in March, Rick James being a great performer, the documentary 12 O'clock Boys, actor Philip Hoffman's alleged gay lover and Alfred Wright found dead in Sabine County, Texas.
Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

The Taliban in Afghanistan are parading an American hostage in front of cameras and celebrating the capture.
“Allah gave victory to the mujahideen!” one of the fighters exclaims. “Down with them, down with their spies!”
The prisoner is a Belgian Malinois.canine. The Taliban claim it is a military colonel. This particular breed is a favorite of the U.S. military. They can be trained to sniff out explosives and drugs. They are also trained to parachute and rappel with their handlers.
Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, told the Washington Post the canine was captured after a firefight with American soldiers.
“The mujahideen valorously put tough resistance against the troops for hours. The dog was of high significance to the Americans."
According to Mujahid, the dog was wearing sophisticated electronic devices.
The Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Intelligence Group tracks the online activity of terrorist organizations. They found the Taliban footage on a Twitter account used for propaganda. SITE's founder, Rita Katz, said she's never seen anything like it.
“I don’t remember seeing a dog used as a hostage."

The case is drawing comparisons to Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. On November 23, 2012, 45-year old Michael Dunn fired 8 shots into an SUV carrying 17-year old Jordan Davis and three of his friends. Davis was killed on the scene after being hit by 2 bullets. None of his friends were injured.
As we previously reported, the incident was sparked by an argument over loud music. Dunn and his girlfriend had pulled into a Jacksonville gas station next to the SUV. He wanted the young men to turn their music down. During the argument Dunn claimed he saw a shotgun sticking out of the rear window of the SUV. That's when he grabbed his 9mm pistol and began shooting.
Dunn fled the scene the scene with his girlfriend. The two later checked into a hotel and ordered pizza. Dunn was arrested several days later at his home in Satellite Beach, Florida. He faces charges of first-degree murder in Davis' death and three counts of attempted first-degree murder for shooting at the other three teens in the SUV.
A subsequent search by police of the teen's SUV revealed there was no guns inside their vehicle.
Dunn claims he acted in self defense.
"We are relying on Justifiable Use of Deadly Force as an affirmative defense," his attorney, Cory Strolla, told CNN.
A jury has been selected and opening statements will begin on Thursday (February 6).
