Deputy Clay Grant Subdued Layla Trawick


**Update: Video Added**


WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Deputy Clay Grant Jr. was off-duty and picking up a couple of household items from Target when customers started screaming.

He says he quickly saw why: A woman was running down the cosmetic aisle with a knife in each hand.

Layla Trawick, 34, had just stabbed four people, including a woman holding a baby, slashing at shoppers in an apparently random attack at the busy store Monday, authorities allege.

Grant grabbed his duty weapon, identified himself as a sheriff's deputy and ordered the woman to drop the knives, he said. She ran away and he followed her from aisle to aisle before she surrendered.

"She finally dropped her knife, and I was able to place handcuffs on her," Grant said.

The Target store is on the second floor of a shopping center at a busy West Hollywood intersection. Shoppers streamed down the stairs and away from the building in a panic.

"People were really scared," said Rachelle Calello, a makeup artist who works in a cosmetic store next to Target. "Who knows if she has a knife or something else?"

A mother holding her baby was stabbed in the neck and was taken to the hospital, where she was in stable condition, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. The baby was unhurt and all four victims were expected to survive.

One witness said she was shopping for a Mother's Day card when she heard someone screaming, "There is no witness protection program!" as chaos broke out in the store.

Katy Winn, a freelance photographer from West Hollywood, said the woman was yelling at the top of her voice.

"I think I heard (the deputy) telling her to drop to the floor. That's when things got really chaotic and started falling over," Winn said.

Grant was wearing a white T-shirt, camouflage shorts and running shoes so several shoppers mistook him for a gunman, adding to the sense of panic, officials said.

Calmly recounting the events at a news conference Monday, Grant said his training kicked in and he decided not to shoot because he didn't feel his life was in jeopardy.

"Her facial expression was someone who was lost, confused, didn't know exactly where they were," Grant said.

Trawick was arrested with the help of private security guards and held on $1 million bail on suspicion of attempted murder. It was not immediately known if the Antioch woman had an attorney.

Investigators were trying to determine whether Trawick got the knives in the store.

GURU's close friend SOLAR has blasted his former lover after she alleged the two men endured a physically violent relationship - insisting her accusations are "lies" and "cheap shots".

Tasha Denham, who has a child with Solar, came forward with allegations her ex-boyfriend often fought with the late rapper, who died last month (Apr10) after a battle with cancer.

She told HipHopDx.com, "I saw (Guru) punched in the face numerous times with no provocation. It (would just be) that he'd (Solar) get upset with something Guru would say and punch him in the face. I know he knocked a tooth out of Guru's. I know he gave him a black eye (so Guru would) have to wear glasses for photo-shoots and concerts."

But Solar is fuming about the unfounded allegations - accusing Denham of lying about the incidents.

He tells Britain's Conspiracy Radio, "This is from a groupie that has no knowledge of anything about me and Guru. It's unbelievable that they even put her up there. She never lived with Guru. She never knew Guru. She's just making up tales.

"These are just cowards taking cheap shots at a man that's not here anymore and they should be ashamed of themselves."

The star has also blasted Guru's sister Patricia Elam, after she claimed he had an unhealthy hold over his friend and business partner.

He adds, "The crazies are talking now. Trish (Elam) is speaking when Trish and Guru haven't spoken, haven't seen each other in I don't know how long. These are two people that did not get along."

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — B.o.B's "Nothin' on You" currently sits atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and "Airplanes" — the second single from his The Adventures of Bobby Ray album — has just leapt into the top 10. The Atlanta MC, who already has a video for "Nothin'," just shot a clip for his sophomore single, albeit one that's missing a key component: Paramore's Hayley Williams, who sings the track's hook.


But all that is going to change — and soon. When we spoke to Williams at this weekend's Bamboozle music festival, the singer said she had already carved out time to shoot her portion of the "Airplanes" video, even if she didn't quite know what she had signed up for.

"Hopefully, right after this tour [Paramore's spring run with Relient-K and Fun], I'll get to do my part of the B.o.B video," she said. "I'm stoked, because I've seen a couple of treatments, and I don't know exactly what I'm getting into yet, but I'm stoked about it, because I know it'll be different, and I think it'll be a lot easier than a Paramore shoot but different and challenging in a new way. It'll definitely be shorter than a Paramore video; no 12-hour day on a chorus."

So what will Williams — who, to be honest, isn't the first person you'd think would be popping up in a hip-hop video — be doing in "Airplanes"? Good question. Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis joked that "she's gonna be on a boat with a swimsuit and a martini." But Williams said she'll be taking inspiration from some of the classics. Sort of.

"Growing up, I saw a lot of hip-hop videos. I always liked TLC, and I always liked Aaliyah videos, I thought they were great. Missy Elliott videos were amazing. But obviously, I'm not going to get in front of a camera and pretend to be Aaliyah or Missy Elliott. I mean, I'm still Hayley from Paramore," she laughed. "And that's what I think is great about it; I'm bringing a different side to what B.o.B is doing ... and I think what we do as a band actually fits in some weird way. I was looking at videos of him online, at his shows, and his crowd doesn't look too far off from, like, the kind of people we play to; same age. It seems like a good match, and I'm excited to bring whatever I have to offer to the table for him."

And since she'll be filming her portion of the video without B.o.B, it will keep one aspect of their collaboration intact: the fact that they've never actually met face-to-face.

"We've never met in person," Williams said. "We've talked on Twitter, and he's really cool. We'll never meet. We're going to perform the song live via Skype."

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

Cam'ron has been a busy man lately.

Besides reconciling with Jim Jones and announcing the possible reunion of the Diplomats, he made a surprise appearance at Converse's Band of Ballers tournament as both "assistant coach" and basketball player, helping the Jones Family squad secure their second consecutive title. Cam's also preparing for the third release in his and DJ Drama's mixtape series, Boss of all Bosses 2.5.


MTV News caught up with Cam over the weekend at the Atlanta tourney, where we also spoke to DJ Holiday, and it seems everybody wants a piece of KFC.

"Me and Cam need to do something ... a Holiday Season or something. I know you know the brand," the DJ said, referring to his popular mixtape series.

"I could do a mixtape in three hours," Cam challenged. "Let's stop talking and do it."

"I can block out about four hours, and we knock out a Holiday Season and make a classic," Holiday said. "I know you make mixtapes with everybody, but when you do one with the kid, it's a little different experience."

The "killa season"-meets-"holiday season" collaboration was a no-brainer, said Cam, ready to cement plans. But first, Holiday said, he had some other projects in the works, including the upcoming release of Waka Flocka Flame's latest mixtape, tentatively titled Flockaveli, which he described as crazy fighting music. And with Gucci Mane's release from jail a little more than a week away, Holiday said he and Gucc would be preparing a follow-up mixtape: Writing's on the Wall 2: The Appeal.

"I just dropped that [Gucci Mane mixtape] Burrprint HD. It's in stores right now. We did 20,000 first week; #1 on iTunes. At the end of the day, we finnin' to make a movie," Holiday said. Gucci "gets home in probably about 10 days, so you already know we taking over, 10 days. Writing's on the Wall 2: The Appeal coming soon. I'm trying to win, man."

Busted!

Authorities late Monday night arrested a suspect in the botched plot to bomb Times Square.

Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American who recently returned from a trip to his home country, was nabbed at Kennedy Airport.

Faisal Shazhad


"Mr. Shahzad, an American citizen, was taken into custody at JFK Airport in New York as he attempted to board a flight to Dubai," Attorney General Eric Holder said in an early-morning news conference.

"This investigation is ongoing, as are our attempts to gather useful intelligence, and we continue to pursue a number of leads," the Queens-born Holder said.

"But it's clear that the intent behind this terrorist act was to kill Americans," he told reporters.

The Customs and Border Protection agents at Terminal 4 had Shahzad's name and photo, a source told the Daily News.

"He was looking to get out of the country," a source told The News.

Shahzad, 30, of Connecticut, bought his mobile weapon of mass destruction on craigslist - and paid a 19-year-old college student $1,300 cash for it.

He is believed to have links to international terrorists and was already under surveillance for two days when the feds moved in.

They had hoped he would lead them to other possible suspects but scooped him up at JFK when he looked ready to run.

Shahzad bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that he left in Times Square last Saturday night two weeks ago in a deal without paperwork, sources said.The National Security Agency had also been tracking his cell phone calls, some of which had been made to overseas numbers.

The SUV was packed with enough fuel, fertilizer and explosives to ignite a massive fireball - and kill scores of people.

In Times Square, New Yorkers and tourists alike were thrilled to hear today that Shahzad was now in the hands of the law.

"They did a great job getting this guy so fast," said Diana Suliz, 22, a bartender from the Bronx. "I feel safer now that they've got him."

But she's still worried about the future.

"I'm scared now that this might be part of a bigger terrorism threat. I have a daughter, she's only 9 months old," she said. "I don't want her to have to grow up worrying about terrorists in her own city."

Holder assured New York - and the nation - that law enforcement officials are on the case.

"This investigation is ongoing, it is multifaceted, and it is aggressive," he said. "As we move forward, we will focus on not just holding those responsible for it accountable."

Sources told The News early Tuesday that the feds are tracking three associates who may have helped the suspect

Shahzad tried to cover his tracks when he drove the Pathfinder to Times Square.

The vehicle identification number was defaced, but detectives found it stamped on the engine block and axle to get a lead on the current owner.

NYPD and FBI detectives identified Shahzad after tracking down the previous owner, Peggy Colas of Bridgeport, Conn., sources said. She told investigators she had turned over the keys to the mystery man at a Connecticut mall, sources said.

Peggy Colas


"Of course I'm scared. If I say something and he comes here, then what?" she said from her home earlier Monday night, before Shahzad was arrested. Authorities whisked her away to shield her from the encamped media.

Colas told cops the buyer paid with $100 bills, and he used a bogus name - though his cell phone number worked.When she found out who bought the car, Colas freaked out, posting on her Facebook page: "OMG! I had a crazy day. ... It's official. I have bad luck. ... I hope they find that bastard."

Her family couldn't believe her luck either.

"He came off like a nice guy, I guess," one of Colas' brothers said. "He told my sister, 'I'm going to New York.' He said he needed a car in the city."

As Shahzad was tracked, investigators have also started looking at a Connecticut-based Web site purporting to represent a faction of the Taliban in Pakistan, sources said. The site went up last week, and within 24 hours of the failed bombing was laying claim to an attack on American soil, law enforcement sources said.

The arrest appears to eliminate as a suspect the still-unidentified white man caught by security cameras stripping off a dark shirt to reveal a red one after the SUV was abandoned in Times Square.

The arrest came after a day of fast-moving developments:

- The White House uttered the T-word for the first time in connection with the failed plot that sent a scare through the city.

"I would say that was intended to terrorize, and I would say that whomever did that would be categorized as a terrorist," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

- Motorized traffic into Manhattan slowed to a crawl as officers checked trucks entering the East River tunnels - and gave New Yorkers a jarring flashback to the tense days after the 9/11 attacks.

- Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for federal funding for a midtown surveillance program that would use security cameras and license plate scanners to track every vehicle moving between 34th and 59th Sts.

Inside the Pathfinder, cops found dozens of M-88 firecrackers, three tanks of BBQ-style propane, two red plastic jugs of gasoline and a metal locker densely packed with eight supermarket bags of fertilizer.

The whole shebang was wired to two cheap, yellow, old-fashioned travel alarm clocks set to work in tandem - one to blow up the propane tanks and the other to explode the contents of the locker.

The fertilizer was not explosive-grade and would not have produced the kind of devastation associated with ammonium nitrate bombs - like the one in Oklahoma City in 1995.

But the propane tanks pack an explosive punch that could have shattered windows and done all kinds of damage in Times Square, officials said.

The Pathfinder was parked by "The Lion King" marquee on W.45th St., right next to the 1515Broadway headquarters of Viacom, which owns Comedy Central.

The bombing plot was foiled by two sharp-eyed street vendors who spotted smoke seeping from the SUV just after 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and alerted mounted Officer Wayne Rhatigan. He then sounded the alarm.

Cash Money CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams just took home a fat stack of money after betting $4 million on Floyd Mayweather Jr in his fight this past weekend against Shane Mosely which Mayweather won.

That was small change though compared to his next bet. He plans to put down a cool $10 million on Mayweather again if his fight against Manny Pacquiao can be finalized.

Pacquiao and Mayweather's last fight fell apart because of Manny's refusal to agree to Olympic Style drug testing.

Something tells me this fight will happen though. There's just too much money to be made by both fighter's for it not to.

When it does, expect Birdman to be sitting ringside hoping he can win big again.

Christina Aguilera's brand-new "Not Myself Tonight" video is certainly jaw-dropping, a three-minute run of barely-there outfits, extended S&M-inspired sequences and a whole lot of guy-on-girl groping.

But in an interview with "Access Hollywood," Aguilera defended the clip, saying that it shows off her wild side, which she's not shying away from just because she's a mother.

"Mama still has to be me," she said. "I never claimed to be a cookie-cutter soccer mom. That's all good for some people. Not for me."

Aguilera — who, in previous interviews, has cited her two-year-old son, Max, as an inspiration for the songs on her upcoming Bionic album — said that she doesn't think the video is inappropriate, and added that just because she's a mother, it doesn't mean that she's not also an artist, one who deals honestly and frankly with the subject of sexuality.

"[Max] is going to grow up in a household where he knows mommy expresses herself artistically and some of that will have to reflect itself sexually too, at times," she said. "He's going to learn to respect the fact that women are allowed to express themselves and not feel shameful about their bodies or their sexuality."

She added that while Max is already a fan of the songs on Bionic (which is due June 4), he's not shy about expressing his allegiance to another of his mother's pop contemporaries.

"He's really into Rihanna," Aguilera said. "And he does say 'Put in mama's song! Put in mama's song!' And then he goes, 'Go cazy! Go cazy!' It's so cute."

When Damon Dash pulled a Roc-A-Fella chain out of his vault several months ago and presented it to Curren$y, it was just a celebration of their friendship. Now, the chain means much more. Dash is resurrecting Roc-A-Fella Records and plans to make Curren$y's Pilot Talk the label's first new release on June 15.


"I think we just having fun, really," said Dash, sitting in his office at DD172 next to Curren$y. "[Curren$y] inspired me to dust off the chains. We brought 'em out for kicks, just 'cause we could. Then we was like, 'F--- it, let's put it out through Roc-A-Fella.' It was really more something he wanted to do. Basically, 'cause we havin' such a good time, and the opportunity's there, we was like, 'Why not?' "

"What that means, what that shows me, is that dude thinks as highly of me as I do him," Curren$y said about releasing an LP on the label Dash co-founded with Jay-Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke in the mid-1990s. "I know what's behind that. We all know and the fans know what that represented at the height of it. The aesthetic of it."

Dash said he hadn't been having "fun" in music since he, Jay and Biggs dissolved their partnership several years ago. But meeting and working with artists such as Curren$y and Jay Electronica who come through his DD172 facility brought the old feelings back.

"The funny thing is, people don't know that Roc-A-Fella wasn't meant to sell records," Dame said. "It was meant to show the respect and the honor amongst each other as friends. It was a friendship thing. That's what people liked. It's what made Roc-A-Fella appealing. It's odd, because I f--- with [Curren$y]. I kinda like him. When I met him, I wasn't as familiar with his music. My nephews and Sean O'Connell put me up on him. I liked him as a friend. Then I start seeing he's super nice with the rhymes, then I started seeing his influence. It's similar to the way we felt back in those days. It's working out."

The last album to come out on Roc-A-Fella was Jadakiss' The Last Kiss in April 2009. The label had been under Jay-Z's sole custody since the breakup of Hov, Biggs and Dash.

"Def Jam or Universal bought the brand. I think the 'beef' [with us and Jay-Z] was that Jay made it clear he didn't want me or Biggs to be a part of it. That's really where it was at. Now that he doesn't work for Def Jam anymore, he doesn't have the right to use the name. So there's no reason for us not to use it. It's there, and it's a brand that's not being used. So I was like, 'I'll take it.' It always meant something to me."

Dash said he and Curren$y are pushing a positive message about friendship and evolution.

"It's a way more positive movement," he added about the label's new incarnation. "It's what I wanted Roc-A-Fella, what I thought it should be 10 years after I started it."

Dash said he secured the new deal through L.A. Reid and Def Jam, which will serve as a distributor for his records.

After Curren$y's album, the next project coming off Roc-A-Fella will be Ski Beatz's 24 Hour Karate School mixtape.

Reps for Jay-Z were not reached for comment by press time.

During an exclusive sit down with BET.com, Nas broke down his beat selection process, which he's been heavily criticized for throughout his career.

"Well I have a wish list sometimes or I have a dream list of who I would love to work with and wish they would want to get in the studio and do records or whatever," Nas told BET.com. "Then I have my own ideas of being a producer. And what happens is a lot of time goes by with me being indecisive so it winds up with me kind of like doing what I have to do really fast because I played around for so long. Then, the deadlines come."

However, don't think for one second that the Queens lyricist doesn't have his ear to the street. Nas knows exactly where the heat is. "But, you never know who has it, everyone’s got a lot of talent," he shared. "You have Little Brother, you have Drumma Boy. There’s a lot of dudes I like right now. You have DJ Toomp."

Without giving away too much, Esco revealed that he's quietly working with three unspecified beatsmiths. "When I work again, there’s about three different people I been talking to specifically about really doing it, so we’ll figure it out," he offered.

Nas and Damian Marley's "Distant Relatives" hits stores May 18 via Universal Republic/Def Jam Records.

I really don't hand out "N***a Please" cards very often. But when I do you best believe it's well deserved.

Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God who was fired from Philadelphia’s The Beat 100.3 last fall. An incident some speculated Jay-Z had something to do with, recently chopped it up with Vibe.com.

First off, I like what Charlamagne Tha God brings to the air. He says what he wants and is controversial and funny in a good way most of the time.

He was a little out of line with something he to Vibe though in my opinion.

C.T.G. was hyping them up on 'The Hood State Of The Union' comedy sketch he does with fellow comedian Lil Duval.

The Hood State of the Union is me and Lil Duval’s politically incorrect views and potentially dangerous rhetoric,” he said. “When you look at Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, he’s talking to America. We’re doing it too but it’s from a hood perspective."

Mmmhmm, C.T.G. do us all a favor and never, and I mean ever compare anything you're doing the President of the free world. I get what you were trying to say I think. But it came out all wrong, so "N***a Please."

On the flip side of that, Charlamagne will be bringing his much needed brand of humor back to the radio air waves next week when he debuts on Charleston, SC ‘s The Box.

Actor Mickey Rourke may be one of the stars of the new blockbuster movie 'Iron Man 2', just don't ask him what the movie is about because he has no idea.

In an interview with UK's Daily Star, Mickey, who's become a hot commodity in Hollywood again after his role in The Wrestler explained his philosophy.......kind of.

I read my character. I didn’t read a lot of the other stuff too clearly. I have no idea what’s in the movie or what it’s about, to be honest with you.”

He added: “I kind of don’t want to know what’s going on. It’s like in life. I like to leave a little room open for the unexpected.”

In the movie Rourke plays Tony Starks nemesis Whiplash. He had to go through grueling training to prepare for the role.

We got on a treadmill, put it on an incline, with a 40lb vest and then did that for a half-hour, going uphill.

I got in shape to wear the vest, because it was leather and metal and quite heavy.”

The Paramount movie varied from the norm by opening internationally before debuting in the U.S. It had a stong start pulling in $100.2 million in 53 foreign markets over the weekend.

It opens in this Friday, May 7 here in the states.

Derrick "D-Nice" Jones of Boogie Down Productions was in attendance and described the wedding on Twitter.

D-Nice and Big Daddy Kane were once part of rivals crews during a legendary Hip-Hop feud between KRS-One’s Boogie Down Productions and Marley Marl’s Juice Crew which began in 1986.

LONDON (Reuters) – Michael Jackson's video for his hit single "Thriller" has been voted the most influential in pop music history, according to the results of a poll released on Monday.

The survey, commissioned by MySpace, interviewed more than 1,000 music fans. They made their choice from a long list of 20 videos selected by music and entertainment critics.

Thriller, credited with breaking down the boundaries between music and filmmaking, garnered 15.2 percent of the votes, ahead of "Here It Goes Again," the 2006 Internet hit featuring OK Go dancing on treadmills.

Britney Spears' song "Baby One More Time" came in third, followed by A-Ha's part-animated "Take On Me."

Following is the list of the top 10 most influential pop music videos:

1. "Thriller," Michael Jackson, 1983 (15.2 percent)
2. "Here It Goes Again," OK Go, 2006 (11.7 percent)
3. "Baby One More Time," Britney Spears/1998 (11.2 percent)
