More Pics After The JumpDraya Michele is one of the hottest models around.
She's been featured in magazines like King, Urban Ink, Black Men's and Show. She's also been in a couple of music videos to boot.
A few months ago, the internet was buzzing with rumors that she was Chris Brown's new woman, but that didn't pan out.
I compiled a few pics of Draya, some old, some new for you guys to check out.
Whats do you think? Would you put a ring on her finger?
When Kanye West recently suggested that every aspiring artist could at least grab a camera and shoot a viral video, he forgot to mention that you still need to have your permits in order first. New Orleans rapper B.G. learned this hard way. He has been hit with a $150,000 lawsuit from his neighbors for apparently shooting part of a video on their property without permission.
The video, for a recent track entitled 'My Hood,' was partially shot on the property of Plaintiffs Shyrl and John Bagneris. According to their legal claims, the couple sent a cease and desist order to B.G. and he completely ignored the letter by shooting without proper city permits. B.G. is charged with trespassing on the property with a film crew of over 40 people in addition to a commercial lighting rig and other "heavy duty equipment."
"The Plaintiffs are upstanding individuals in their community who do not wish to be associated with rap music, B.G., Chipper City Records and other defendants associated with the music video 'My Hood,'" said their lawyer in a statement. B.G. and Chopper City Records have yet to release a statement on the matter.
This lawsuit comes in a long line of legal trouble for B.G. He pled guilty to a DUI in 2009 and received two years of probation before getting arrested on a gun charge when pulled over in New Orleans last November. In February 2010, B.G. pled not guilty to those charges. The case is still pending.

The days when the Hot Boys ruled the airwaves and packed arenas must seem like a lifetime ago for troubled rapper B.G.
Gizzle is currently dealing with legal problems stemming from a 2009 DUI arrest, which he pled guilty to and received two years probation.
Then last November B.G., real name Christopher Dorsey was arrested following a traffic stop in New Orleans. During the stop police found three guns, along with loaded magazines and extended clips. Two of the guns had previously been reported stolen.
In February 2010 he plead not guilty to those charges, the case is still pending.
Now Baby Gangsta's neighbors are suing him for $150,000, claiming he didn't have the proper permits when he shot a video locally.
"The Plaintiffs are upstanding individuals in their community who do not wish to be associated with rap music, B.G., Chopper City Records and other defendants associated with the music video "My Hood," the neighbors lawyer said in a statement.
Shyrl Patterson Bagneris and John Bagneris filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District Louisiana court alleging the rapper ignored a cease and desist letter. And shot part of the video on their property, with a crew of at least 40 people.
The Bagnaris' are requesting at least $150,000 in damages for unjust enrichment, trespass to land and intrusion on seclusion.

Video After The JumpThis isn't a music video or some motion picture b.s my G's. This kind of thing goes on every day in the streets, but it's rarely caught on tape.Kansas City career criminal Nicholas Waller decided it was do or die time on April 4, 2009. After committing two car jackings, including a pizza delivery driver, Waller abandons the last car and bails on foot.
A few minutes later he's stopped by Sgt. Steven Boles.
Before Boles could get a world out of his mouth, Waller starts dumping shots at him, firing five rounds, and missing every shot.
Boles, who's pistol was stuck in it's holster was finally able to get it out and fire three rounds back, hitting Waller in the chest.
At that very moment a patrol driven by Sgt Barry Huwar was pulling up. Seeing what was happening, Huwar ran Waller over with his patrol car, ending the shootout.
Sgt. Boles believes God was on his side that day.
"I thought my life was over when I started taking the gunshots and I couldn't get my gun out," Boles told Fox4KC. "I feel God put me on my knees that day and allowed me to persevere."
Miraculously Waller survived being shot and run over. Already a six time felon, he apologized in court Thursday (October 7). Saying he started sniffing glue at age 12.
The judge wasn't trying to hear it and sentenced him to 30 years in prison, he'll be eligible for parole in 25.

Video After The JumpThey say a fool and his money shall soon part. While it may not have been his money, Tim Wentworth of Indianapolis is a damn fool on my book.$2 million dollars fell out of the back of an armored truck in downtown Indy sending three tightly wrapped bundles of $20 dollar bills into the street.
A car hit one bundle, which made it rain money. Dozens of people ran into the street scooping up as much money as they could.
But not Tim, the "good citizen", he instead went for the large bundles. Once he had gotten them, he called 911 and happily turned the cash in.
I'm still shaking my head, dude must be rich or crazy.

Lamborghini Lloyd gives the story behind his "The Hunger For More 2" new track with Kanye West, Fabolous, Swizz Beatz & Ryan LeslieOne of the more anticipated songs from Lloyd Banks' November 23 third album The Hunger For More 2 dropped on Wednesday. "Start It Up" features Kanye West, Fabolous, Swizz Beatz and Ryan Leslie. The G-Unit emcee spoke to MTV News and revealed just how the song came to fruition."The whole Kanye [West] thing happened, it was shortly after the tweet that he wrote, the comment he made about me being underrated and should be in everybody's top five," Lloyd Banks told MTV News over the phone Thursday. "We read that statement, and it kind of took off on its own. I definitely appreciated that. Just for him to say that opens up the eyes that have been watching him [to me]. And from there, it made sense to go into the studio with him. Shortly after that, we went into the studio...That was one of the last joints I recorded for my album. Originally it was me and [Fabolous], then I got Kanye, then Swizz [Beatz] was in the city and so was [Ryan Leslie]."A testament to the fast-paced music industry in 2010, Banks said, "The difference from that track being me and Fab and having Kanye was 24 hours."The Hunger For More 2 drops on November 23 on G-Unit/EMI. It will be the first album released by G-Unit since inked their new deal with EMI.Source:HHDXRead more…

Karen Owen (left) penned the "F*ck List"Video After The JumpWhat 13 Duke athletes thought was just an easy piece of a** has turned into public humiliation for them and their families.
22 year-old Duke graduate Karen Owen penned a 42 page mock thesis titled “An education beyond the classroom: excelling in the realm of horizontal academics”, describing her sexual exploits in great detail.
Karen included pictures and names of the men, along with a pros and cons rating system. Raw Points were earned or deducted based on looks, athletic ability, humor, accents, sexual stamina, creativity in bed and penis size.
Once the points were totaled the men would be ranked from best to worst on the "Official F*ck List."
Some of the stuff she wrote about is downright hilarious, like the excerpt below
Then there was the guy who treated her like the tramp she obviously is, he didn't score that high with her, lol.
Karen supposedly wrote the thesis only for close friends of hers to see, as a joke. But one friend passed it to another friend, and so on until it had literally spread across the globe.
Now that it has, Karen is expressing regret. She's taken down all of her profiles on social networking sites and has issued an apology.
“I regret it with all my heart. I would never intentionally hurt the people that are mentioned on that," she told The News Of Today.
To read the full thesis go here or simply Google her name.

Video After The JumpNow that it's been confirmed that 'Batman 3' will start shooting in April 2011, attention now shifts to who the villain will be this time around.
Someone who would have a pretty good idea spoke to MTV about that subject.
Morgan Freeman, who plays Lucious Fox in the series, said we could see Batman battling a couple bad guys this time around.
"There's been talk of the Riddler, the Joker - I don't mean the Joker - the Penguin. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin, and that sounds interesting to me. So we'll wait and see. And there just may be more than one," Morgan said.
Christopher Nolan is back to direct. If everything goes according to schedule, 'Batman 3' should arrive in theaters July 2012.
What villain or villains would you like to see in the new Batman movie? Feel free to throw in possible actors you would like to see for the parts. Also throw in possible villains not in the poll if you would like.

Video After The JumpOn Monday October 4, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana Deputy Chris Guidry responds to a call from an undervover cop of a drug buy.
When Guidry gets to the scene, he sees the man, 28 year old Javon "Slim" Rakestrau, ID'd from the drug buy, walking down the street.
Guidry gets out of his patrol car and asks Javon for I.D.
Javon starts to walk away, saying he would get his identification from inside his home. The Deputy stops him, telling him to put his hands on the hood of the patrol car.
At that point Javon reaches into a right pocket, saying he was going to call the police himself. At the same time he's reaching into a left pocket for something.
Guidry would later say he wasn't sure what Javon was reaching for, so he attempts to take him to the ground.
Javon resists, starts yelling for his mother, while continuing to say he had done nothing wrong. When he breaks away from the officer, he is then tased.
Within seconds of being tased, Javon's breathing becomes labored. An ambulance is called, but Javon died in the hospital.
It turns out he was reaching into his left pocket for weed, probably to hide it from the cop.
An autopsy is underway to determine the exact cause of death.
Meanwhile, Javon's death has caused an outrage in the community. Local residents are calling the polce there killers.
"If you're walking through the neighborhood and the cops see you, they'll pull up, search you and ask questions," one local said. "They want to try to intimidate us."Gerald Hopkins, a friend of Rakestrau, said Guidry could have used better force. He said a stun gun wasn't necessary for the situation.
"They're trained for situations like that," he said. "It was not proper force."Lt. Craig Stansbury didn't see it that way at all.
"The state of Louisiana has a force continuum law, which states that the officer is required and able to go one step above the offender's actions. To resist an officer or resist arrest. And that's exactly what Deputy Guidry was doing." says Stansbury
Check out the video and tell me what you think. Was the cop out of control or just doing his job?

Video After The JumpWithin a space of a year, Gucci Mane went from being a much-buzzed-about MC to another, if exceptional, inmate at Georgia's Fulton County Jail. After wrapping up a six-month prison bid in May for violating his probation, Gucci got on his grind for his latest LP, The Appeal, which dropped late last month.
The Atlanta mic-ripper said the obviously difficult circumstances of his prison stint affected his new music.
"I changed a lot in there," Davis recently told the Los Angeles Times. "I know this is serious now and I have a lot to get off my chest. This record is painful and gothic and epic, but it's the soundtrack of my past."
Although Gucci is no stranger to a government-issued jumpsuit, having served time in 2006 and 2009, the MC said he had to adjust to certain aspects of life outside the prison walls.
"It's strange to go from being locked up to a month later everyone saying, 'Gucci, let's party!' " he said. "But I lost so much in there that I came out with a much sharper focus."
As one of many high-profile lyricists entangled in the U.S. penal system, Gucci also reflected that bringing street elements into the music game is an issue for MCs.
"(Prison) is a real problem in hip-hop — it's a struggle to let that culture go. You can't let the ideology of the street get you in trouble," he said, adding, "I just wish I didn't have to go to jail to learn that. But sometimes we have to sacrifice and be responsible."
Armed with newfound insight, Gucci recently told MTV News that the just-released Appeal LP is a candid expression of his personal experiences and perspectives.
"The Appeal, I think, is my best album to date. I had a great time making the album," Gucci said. "It's my last five months recorded of my life. My take on things, my principles, my morals. That's all it is. I just spoke it on 15 tracks, so I think people are gonna love it. If they ain't got it, they need to get it, or they'll hear about it."Read more…
Video After The JumpWhat happens when two future hip hop giants face off as young battle rappers?Busta Rhymes recalls such an occasion, when he and Jay-Z battled for the cafeteria throne back in high school.
"Me, Biggie [Smalls] and Jay went to school at the same time," Busta tells RapFix host Sway. "We [all] went to George Westinghouse Technical & Vocational High School in Brooklyn. One day, somebody came up to me and was like, 'Yo, Hov is in the cafeteria'. They wasn't calling him Hov at the time, they was calling him Jay. 'You wanna step to him on some rhyme sh*t?' So I'm like 'aight lets go'. So we go in there. At the time when we was rhyming it was really a speed rap, that was the style at the time that was really the thing to do. So I knew how to freak it, and he knew how to freak it, so it was like 'lets go toe to toe with it then.' At the time he was so ill with it because of the group he was with. Jaz-O and all of them and that [style] was their thing. He kind of got the best of the situation. I gotta give it up to him. At the time he was so ill with the speed raps and his arsenal was so long that he had one or two more than I did."
Busta remembers the battle so vividly because it was the first time he took an L.
"It was the first time I lost a battle that mattered. The homie always exemplified greatness as an emcee. His ability to play with words. The punchlines and the metaphors and how to bounce syllables around. He was a scientist with it."
Too bad everyone didn't have phone cameras at the time, that had to be epic.
Wow, can you imagine Notorious B.I.G., Busta and Jigga at the same high school?

Video After The JumpIf you have ever made the mistake of cheating on your woman, you know it's hard to keep it a secret for long.
That wasn't the case for Shigeo Tokuda. A 76 year old married grandfather, who just happened to moonlight as a porn star.
Tokudo got his start as a man whore several years ago. He was approached by a man in a porn store who told him he would be perfect for XXX films because he had the face of a pervert.
What started out as a few small cameo roles has turned into a full time job for the retired travel agent, who earns $400-$500 dollars a day starring in "elder porn."
Don't get it twisted though, "elder porn" isn't just with older women. Tokudo is blowing the backs out of young twenty something year olds as well.
His family might not have ever found out his "side profession", had it not been for a mistake by a production company that faxed the script to 'Prohibited Elderly Care Vol. 20' to his home.
His 35 year old daughter read it and his cover was blown.
You might think Tokudo would have been kicked out of the house by his wife, but that wasn't the case.
"My wife lets me do whatever I want now that I’m retired,” he says. “She’s just concerned about my health and tells me not to work too hard.”
After having starred in over 350 skin flicks, including the ridiculously titled 'Maniac Training of Lolitas', Tokudo has no plans to retire anytime soon.

Video After The Jump
"The bottles are identical and I am not young anymore, but I am not senile. I just did this because these are my precious eye drops."
That's what Irmgard Holm told MyFoxPhoenix after going through a nightmarish experience, that landed her in the hospital with doctors trying to pry her eyes open after she accidentally superglued them shut.
Holm, who had cataract surgery last year, reached for what she thought was eye drop medication, but instead was actually superglue. When she felt a burning sensation, she realized something was very wrong.
Holm attempted to wash the glue out of her eyes, but by that time they were sealed shut.
"It was a nightmare and a half," Holm says.
Paramedics and hospital staff rushed to remove the glue before her eyes suffered major damage.
"They had to cut off the glue substance. It was all hard, and it was in the eye and just everywhere. I couldn't even see," said a still shaken Holm.
She wants companies that make superglue to change their packaging so something like this doesn't happen to more people.
"You can go infection, blindness, removal of the eye on something like this, please help."
My only question is, what the hell are the eyedrops and glue doing next to each other in the first place?

It's hard to keep a poker face over this news: Hillary Clinton barely outranks Lady GaGa on a list of the world's most powerful women.
The globe-trotting Secretary of State landed the No. 5 spot in this year's Forbes.com ratings, just two notches above the outrageous chart-topping singer.
The former senator - known for her pants suits - ranked 36th last year. The former Stefani Germanotta - known for her all-meat outfit - didn't make the cut in 2009.
Lady GaGa moved from the Top 40 to the Forbes' top 10 thanks to the introduction of a new process in ranking the world's 100 most powerful women.
The new system mixed an earnings component with a "buzz factor," as opposed to past lists focused more on wealth and executive position.
Soaring to the top spot was First Lady Michelle Obama, who was ranked a distant No. 40 in 2009.
Second was Krafts Food CEO Irene Rosenfeld, followed by the ubiquitous Oprah Winfrey at No. 3, German Chancellor Angela Merkel at No. 4 and Clinton at No. 5.
Merkel was named the previous year's most powerful woman.
Rounding out the top 10 was a mix of business and show business: Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi, Lady GaGa, Westpac CEO Gail Kelly, singer Beyonce Knowles and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Other bold-faced names included Sarah Palin (No. 16), Angelina Jolie (21), Arianna Huffington (28) and Chelsea Handler (33).
There were three news anchors: CBS' Katie Couric (22), MSNBC's Rachel Maddow (50) and ABC's Christiane Amanpour. And there were two sisters: Tennis stars Serena (55) and Venus Williams (60).
"The women on our list, through their respective realms of power and influence, are shaping many of the agenda-setting conversations of our day," said Moira Forbes, the vice president and publisher of Forbes Woman.
"They have built companies and brands, sometimes by non-traditional mean, and they have broken through gender barriers in areas of commerce, politics, sports and media."
