Trick Daddy was arrested Thursday, April 3, and charged with possession of cocaine, driving with a suspended license and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The Broward County Drug Task Force had the rapper's Miramar home under surveillance for possibly being a marijuana growing location. Trick, real name Maurice Young, was stopped by Sherriff's deputies as he was pulling out of his driveway. Deputies had a warrant to search the home. They found one gram of cocaine, a 9mm Sig Sauer and ammo.

Trick Daddy was arrested, booked at a local police station and released after posting $6,100 bond.

Jennifer Lopez outbid former boyfriend Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs for Fuse TV.

Bloomberg reports that NuvoTV, backed by J-Lo, acquired Fuse from Madison Square Garden Co. for $226 million in cash and a 15% equity stake in Fuse and NuvoTV.

With the Fuse TV acquisition, NuvoTV, an English based station marketed to Latinos, puts itself in a prime position to increase it's market share and gain more viewers.

The deal “enhances our distribution relationships, dramatically expands our aggregate subscriber base, provides substantial economies of scale, affords unique opportunities for programming and cross-promotion and should be extremely appealing to the advertising community,” Michael Schwimmer, chief executive officer of NuvoTV, said in today’s statement.

Lopez and Combs were romantically linked in the late 90's. Jennifer distanced herself from the music mogul after a high profile incident on December 27, 1999, when former Bad Bad Records artist Shyne shot up a Manhattan club.

Before Ronda Rousey became the face of women's mixed martial arts, there was Gina Carano. Her combination of great fighting skills and good looks made her a fan favorite.

After an August 15, 2009 loss to Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, Carano left the sport to concentrate on acting and has appeared in Fast and Furious 6, Haywire and In the Blood.

However, fighting is in Gina's blood. During her appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show, she said a return to the Octagon is a strong possibility. Next week Carano will be meeting with UFC president Dana White to talk business.

Ronda Rousey

If the two can agree to terms a fight with current undefeated UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Rousey, would be the biggest bout in the history of women's mixed martial arts.

Who would win?

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).

Chris Brown is on a flight to Washington, D.C., where his attorney, Mark Geregos, will attempt to persuade a judge to dismiss the assault charges against his client because he believes prosecutors inappropriately used the grand jury to gain an unfair advantage in the criminal case.

The case will be heard on Monday, April 7, which will give Chris just enough time to arrive. The singer was restrained with handcuffs as well as ankle and waist chains today and placed on board the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS), or Con Air as it is commonly called.

The flight will make numerous stops along the way to pick up other prisoners. It's not expected to arrive in D.C. until Sunday, April 6.

U.S. Marshals will guard Chris and the other prisoners during the long flight.

TMZ reports that if Geregos' arguments fall on deaf ears Monday, Chris will have to sit in a D.C. jail until the April 17 trial date. The singer has been in an L.A. jail since being kicked out of court ordered anger management rehab on March 14.

While in New York starring on Broadway in Of Mice and Men, James Franco met a 17-year old female tourist from Scotland named Lucy Clode, who was seeking an autograph. The 35-year old actor struck up a conversation with her which led to the two later chatting on Instagram.

After being asked her age, if she had a boyfriend and if she wanted to meet up at a hotel, Lucy became suspicious that she might be getting catfished and asked Franco to provide her with a photo of himself with her name written on a piece of paper.

The actor obliged, then Lucy turned around and leaked the photo and private texts between the two online.

Franco didn't do anything illegal because the legal age of consent in New York is 17 and 16 in Scotland. It's just an embarrassing situation for the Hollywood star.

Franco responded on Twitter by writing: "I'M NOT! I HOPE PARENTS KEEP THEIR TEENS AWAY FROM ME. Thank you."

Is that a denial or a warning to parents? We're not sure. What do you think about the situation?

**UPDATE** April 4

James Franco appeared on Live with Kelly and Michael this morning and wanted to clear the air about the topic everyone is talking about.

To his credit he didn't try to deny that it happened. He owned up to it and admitted he made a mistake.

"I'm embarrassed and I guess I'm just a model of how social media is tricky," Franco said. "It's a way people meet each other today. But what I've learned... I guess because I'm new to it, you don't know who's on the other end. You meet somebody in person and you get a feel for them. But you don't know who you're talking to. I used bad judgement and I learned my lesson. Unfortunately in my position I have a very good life," he continued. "Not only do I have to go through the kind of embarrassing rituals of meeting someone. Sometimes if I do that, then it gets published for the world. So, now it's doubly embarrassing."
