Lamar Odom is in critical condition after being found unconscious Tuesday, October 13, at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada.

The 35-year old former NBA player had been partying with women at the brothel since Saturday. He was by himself with no entourage. Hof told the Los Angeles Times that Odom “wanted to get away from everybody, wanted to have fun.”

TMZ reports that he was was taking an herbal substitute for Viagra. It's not known if that contributed to his condition.

A woman went to the Queens, New York native's room and found him unresponsive. When she started screaming Hof came into the room. He turned Odom over and saw "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth."

Paramedics were called and had to intubate Odom because he could not breathe on his own. Once they stabilized him the plan was to transport him by helicopter to the hospital, but his 6'10 inch frame was too big. Instead, he was taken by ambulance to a Las Vegas facility.

Odom's ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, was said to be en-route to the hospital along with her sister Kim and mom Kris Jenner.

T.I. may have responded too quickly and not thought through an answer about politics while a guest on DJ Whoo Kid's show.

Now the Atlanta rapper is issuing an apology.

Whoo Kid asked Tip about Hillary Clinton's run for President and he made it clear that a woman wouldn't be qualified in his eyes.

"I can't vote for her," T.I. said. "Not to be sexist, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Every other position that exists I think a woman can do well. But I just know that women make rash decisions, emotionally ... they make very permanent, cemented decisions."

Tip later apologized for his comments.

"My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong.  I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended."

Dr. Dre has seen and accomplished just about everything you could imagine in his career. However, there's still one thing he would like to cross off of his bucket list.

The super producer wants to tour Europe with a full stage show he said recently on his Beats 1 radio show. The opening acts would be Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar.

One of my dreams right now is to be able to take my ideas and take a show over to Europe.

I’m 30 years in the game right now and I’ve never been able to take my full production over to Europe. Me and Snoop — we’ve been over there. Me and Eminem have been over there, but it’s just been spot dates and taking a microphone over there with a DJ. I've never had the opportunity to take the full production over there, and take my full body of ideas over there and present it to all the people over there in Europe that’s been representing and showing me love throughout my entire 30-year career.

This is one of the things that I've dreamed about doing. I want to call it 'Beats & Rhymes'. I want it to be me and Snoop. I want it to be Eminem. I want it to be Kendrick Lamar. (Kendrick, holla at us!) Do a tour over in Europe and call it Beats & Rhymes and take our full production over there and take our full stage over there and show Europe the same amount of love that they been showing me throughout my entire career. So, that’s my dream. Hopefully we can make that happen.

That would be huge if it happens. Hopefully Dre would consider bringing it over to the U.S. after Europe.

Compton, California rapper Teriq Royal got hit in the head with several fragments fired from an AK-47 last week. Fortunately for him, luck was on his side because he survived the ordeal. Immediately afterwards the visibly dazed and confused man filmed a selfie video and posted it to his Facebook page.

"I got shot," he says. "I guess I'm really a rap nigga now, I just got shot. Me and my soldiers out here nigga!"

He later posted that God was on his side that night.

"Yes me and the homies got shot at couple days ago AK47 bullet flew past my head and I was hit with the bullet fragments," he wrote. "3 frags stuck in my forehead for life . They stopped right on my skull before they could enter my brain …
GOD IS REAL YALL !"

"I should’ve died that night but I felt God move me back just enough for the bullet to miss," Royal continued. "Take this life sh*t serious ! I was almost on a T-shirt I’m just blessed enough to be here for a reason, can’t nobody stop Gods plans."

Three bullet fragments are still lodged in the rapper's forehead. He uploaded an x-ray as proof.

(Reuters) Now readers of Playboy, the glossy men's magazine known for its nude fold-outs, can honestly say they are buying the magazine for its articles.

Playboy will no longer publish nude photographs of women, the New York Times reported on Monday in an article quoting Scott Flanders, the company's chief executive.

Founder and editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner, 89, who in his trademark silk pajamas has embodied the Playboy lifestyle, agreed last month with a suggestion by top editor Cory Jones to stop publishing images of naked women, the Times said.

At a time when every teenage boy has an Internet connected phone and the web is rife with pornography, the magazine has opted to continue featuring women in provocative poses, just not completely nude, the Times said.

"You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free," Flanders was quoted as saying in the Times. "And so it's just passe at this juncture."

The magazine that featured Marilyn Monroe on its debut cover in 1953 is making the changes after circulation dropped from 5.6 million in 1975 to about 800,000 now, the Times said.

After its initial success, the magazine was attacked from the political right because of the nudity and from the left by feminists who said it reduced women to sex objects.

Some changes are still under debate, including whether there will continue to be a centerfold. Playboy magazine's sex columnist will be a woman, who writes enthusiastically about sex, Jones told the Times.

The magazine has always had intellectual appeal with top writers such as Kurt Vonnegut, Joyce Carol Oates, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin and Alex Haley for men who liked to say they did not buy the magazine just for the pictures.

In-depth interviews with historic figures such as Fidel Castro, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and John Lennon also were a regular feature.

“Don’t get me wrong,” Mr. Jones said of the decision to eliminate nude pictures, “12-year-old me is very disappointed in current me. But it’s the right thing to do.”

Playboy did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

These days, a rapper cannot make a comment about another one without receiving backlash for it. With that being said, the lyrical KXNG Crooked visited VladTV to share his disappointments with the game, and according to him, "there's a lack of honesty in hip-hop right now."

After calling Fetty Wap "horrible," KXNG Crooked's brothers added to their comments with us and said Fetty "will never come off as legendary" - and Crooked agrees, to an extent. "I may not like the Fetty Wap song, but I can still respect that's it a successful thing and I can say salute to him because he's living his dream...," he states. "I personally don't f*ck with that. I'm not telling anybody that they should not f*ck with it, I'm saying in my personal leisure time, I don't f*ck with that kind of music."

Watch as KXNG Crooked unapologetically opens up about the current state of hip-hop below.

Kordell Stewart recently chopped it up with V-103 radio personality Big Tigger about a couple of issues that have popped up all of a sudden.

He addresses Bow Wow threatening him because he liked an Instagram photo of the rapper's baby's mother, Joie Chavis.

"I'm a grown man dawg," Stewart told Tigger. "We on Instagram-social media. You press like on a picture...what's the problem? I didn't know who she was. Regardless, I still press like on the pictures that comes through my timeline. Don't get it twisted."

The former NFL quarterback also cleared the air about a rumor started by Andrew Caldwell that the two had a homosexual affair while Stewart was married to The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Porsha Williams.

Caldwell later recanted the accusation, but Stewart wanted to leave no doubt in the mind's of fans.

"Who is this guy? I never met the brother before," Stewart explained. "I'm not a gay man. I'm a heterosexual man. I've never been with a man before in my life."

Over the past few months, Philly emcees have proven once again that the "City of Brotherly Love" isn't always so loving. Ar-Ab and Dark Lo made a diss track towards Meek Mill after the "R.I.C.O." rapper called out Ar-Ab at a New Jersey show, igniting a beef that could've all been avoided in the first place.

In a separate incident, the two Philly natives recall the time "everybody ran" but them during one of Meek Mill's video shoots. "Every rapper from Philly was down there, so we went out there to hang out with the rappers and whatnot," Ar-Ab tells us regarding the video shoot where a man was pistol-whipped. "Then that little dumb stuff happened and it was like 'woah, what's going on?'...I'm not looking for no trouble, but I'm definitely not running from it," he adds.

Nick Gordon's attempt to get a judge to stay a civil lawsuit against him has hit a major roadblock after Bobbi Kristina Brown's estate filed documents in Fulton County court alleging he injected her with a toxic mixture that led to her death.

The estate filed a $40 million civil lawsuit against Gordon in in June. It was amended in August, just weeks after Bobbi's July 26th death.

WSBTV reports that the motion filed by Brown's estate says Gordon's request should be denied, citing that Gordon "has no problem giving an interview to Dr. Phil but asks this court to relieve him of his legal responsibility."

The suit further alleges that Gordon injected Bobbi followed "a violent altercation with Defendant after which he placed her in the bathtub unconscious, after he injected her with a toxic mixture."

Bobbi, 22, the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found by Gordon and a family friend in her Roswell, Georgia home on January 31, 2015. She was face down, unconscious, submerged in water in the bathtub.

After being rushed to the hospital she was placed in a medically induced coma. Her condition never improved and the Brown and Houston families made the decision to take her off of life support and move her to hospice care, where she passed away.

Gordon is a person of interest in a criminal investigation into her death.
