It's one of the moments you just don't forget. Most hip-hop fans can remember exactly where they were when they heard Tupac Skakur died, 14 years ago on September 13. While celebrating the 2010 VMAs in Los Angeles over the weekend, some of your favorite artists took time out to remember one of music's biggest icons."I'm from Carol City, and in Carol City we got a park [where] if somebody passes away, we go to the park," Rick Ross told MTV News. "So if something happen, we split up, go to the park. So I'll never forget: I was coming home and riding by the park. I saw all my homies, Chevys lined up. I was like, 'Damn, somebody died.' "Ross said he had just been at the park a week prior mourning the loss of a childhood friend, Little Pete, who was killed in a vehicular accident. The day 'Pac died, Ross had déjà vu."I see everybody there again; I'm like, 'Damn, what done happened?' I pull up, people crying."Thoughts raced through Ross' mind. " 'Who this finnin to be now?' " he recalled wondering."The way my homies was there, and everybody I knew was there, I just knew one of my closest homies was dead. That's when I realized the influence this man had on this generation," Ross said of the Death Row MC. "These people were crying like they were the week before when one of my best friends I knew since first grade died. The same amount of people were there for Tupac and had never met him a day before in their life. That's when I realized what Tupac meant to the people. I'm pretty sure I've never witnessed anything like this before in my life.""When Biggie died, I was on the way to church," Paul Wall said of 'Pac's onetime adversary. "When 'Pac died, I had came out the gym, hoopin'. Me and Chamillionaire, we was in the ride together. We heard on the radio Tupac had passed away. We both were trippin'." (Interestingly, Wall's major-label debut, The People's Champ, was released on September 13 in 2005.)Back in 1996, producer Zaytoven was living in San Francisco when he heard about Tupac's passing. 'Pac had spent some of his younger years in Oakland, California, and the Bay had extra love for Shakur."All we was listening to was 'Pac out there," Zay said. "I was going to basketball practice. My mom had heard [the news] on the radio and called me about it. That was a downer for me, really the whole [West] Coast."Everybody was trippin'. We used to walk around with portable radios on our shoulders playing him," Zay added. "That's how hard we was rocking with 'Pac. It was devastating to the whole Bay Area.Rapper Gorilla Zoe said that he, like many fans, initially refused to believe that Tupac had been killed." 'Pac was Superman to us," Zoe explained. "Homes had been shot before [in 1994]; he always bounced back. When we found out he was shot [a week before his death] but wasn't dead, we was like, 'OK.' Then when we found out he was dead, nobody believed that. I didn't believe that. For years we were like, 'Homes on an island somewhere, chillin'.'"He was our prophet," Zoe continued. "In the South, wasn't nothing else: It was 'Pac. 'Pac was heavy in the South. We wouldn't have had a movement like we got if that door wasn't open. Homes opened the door for the real, for the soldiers. 'Pac was our prophet."Source:MTVRead more…

Video After The JumpWham!George Michael has been sentenced to eight weeks in a British jail for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana after he drove his Range Rover through the storefront of a photo shop in London on July 4, the Associated Press reports.
District Judge John Perkins told the singer, who has had a history of mixing drugs and driving, that "it does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis. That's a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk."
Police allegedly found Michael "spaced out" behind the wheel of his car after the collision. He admitted that he had smoked marijuana and had taken a sedative. He pleaded guilty to the charge soon after the accident.
On two different occasions in 2006, the singer was found slumped over the steering wheel of his car, and also in that year, he hit three other cars as he was trying to leave a parking space.
He's admitted being a "terrible driver." The judge apparently agreed and revoked his driver's license for five years and slapped him with a $1,930 fine.Read more…

Video After The JumpComedian Chelsea Handler's sex tape is about to leak anytime now according to RadarOnline.
The tape was reportedly made 10 years ago when Chelsea was trying to break into showbiz, and according to Handler, was a joke.
The tape starts with her telling a few stand up jokes in an apartment. The next thing you know, Chelsea is on all fours, butt naked, taking backshots from some guy with an British accent.
"I would like to say to RadarOnline.com, thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff, and number two, it was made as a joke,” Chelsea said on her show 'Chelsea Lately' when the story initially broke.
“I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I'm a comedienne, and I've been showing it at birthday parties for f**king years!"
From the couple of photo stills I've seen, this doesn't look like any joke I've ever seen.
Radaronline is suggesting she accidently taped over a sex tape, because right after the brief X-rated scene, the video cuts right back to her stand up routine.
Check out a few NSFW pics here
After being shopped around for several months, the tape has been purchased and Handler will join KimKardashian, Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton as female celebrities with a XXX film out.
The comedienne just hosted the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday and her career is doing quite well. I doubt this tape will do anything but make her even more popular
Check out the beginning part of the tape below where Chelsea is telling a few bad jokes. She's gotten a hell of lot funnier since then.

Videos and Pictures After The JumpNEW YORK — A year ago, Jay-Z showed why he's music's Emperor of the Empire State with a historic charity concert at Madison Square Garden, which Jay called "the house that Hovie built." On Monday night, "the God MC" took his mastery of performance to the front stoop of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, Yankee Stadium. And because that's no setting in which to go small, he brought out special guests like Kanye West, Drake, Chris Martin, Swizz Beatz, Nicki Minaj and, of course, Beyonce;.
After kicking off in Detroit two weeks ago, Jay and Eminem's Home and Home concerts landed on the Jiggaman's soil for shows on Monday and Tuesday (September 14). This time, after J. Cole opened, Slim Shady shook the stadium in the second slot, with special guests G-Unit and Dr. Dre. Then Jay took over with a bevy of surprises and a catalog of hard-line hits.
"Before I start this piece, let me say, rest in peace to the boss, George [Steinbrenner]," Hov began, freestyling a reference to the late Yankees owner after commencing his program with the "Dynasty Intro."
"By the time we sliding home/ I hope we playing in the dome," he continued rapping.
During "Run This Town," Jay asked, "Where you at, boy?" And out came 2010 VMA closer Kanye West in a red suit. The roar was thunderous for the Louis Vuitton Don, who also rocked a huge gold link chain.
They followed up with the first live performance of the "Power" remix — where all 50,000-plus people did the soulful "power clap" — and "Monster." There was no Rick Ross on the latter, but 'Ye and Hov brought out Nicki Minaj, who was showered with love from her hometown.
Hov said that since they were in New York, he couldn't let Kanye off the hook that easy. West told the audience he was going to "take them back." The Chicago-born icon then crushed the concert with "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and a follow-up haymaker of the stadium friendly "Good Life."
"It's one of the most unbelievable feelings in the world, being from New York and being in Yankee stadium," Jay said about the night.
"That's how you feel, New York City?" Hov continued, in response to the crowd's overwhelming cheers. "New York City, is that how you feel tonight? I can't believe this sh--!"
Jay's next guest was Bronx native Swizz Beatz, who was also celebrating his birthday. What a present!
Further along in his set list, Jay rolled out his jaw-dropping verse from "Free Mason." Like in most of shows, the Jiggaman constantly spoke to the crowd. "Just because you question religion doesn't mean you don't believe in God," he said after his rumor-admonishing verse. "Don't let anybody scare you into having their beliefs. Be a muthaf---in- renegade."
Out came Eminem for their classic colossal meeting of the minds. No matter how many times they perform the track, it's still surreal to see the two biggest names in rap stand unified, side by side.
Memphis Bleek then came out for a parade of familiar Jay knockers, including "U Don't Know," "99 Problems" and "Big Pimpin'."
There was a tribute to hip-hop's passed away greats that included B.I.G., D12's Proof, Pimp C and Tupac Shakur. Monday was the 14th anniversary of Pac's tragic death.
Chris Martin from Coldplay came out to sing the hook on "Heart of the City." Martin was crisp and soulful on the mic. Jay kicked the graceful lines to "Most Kingz," and then Martin took the energy up a few levels with "Viva la Vida."
"I used to rule the world," the crowd sang. "Seas would rise/ When I gave the word/ Now in the morning I sleep alone/ Sweep the streets I used to own/ I used to roll the dice/ Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes."
Hov then told his DJ to throw on any song, and out came Drake for "Miss Me."
"Tellllllll me/ What's really going / Drizzy back up in this bitch/ What's happenin!!!" Drake came on rapping. The approval for the 23-year-old was vibrant.
"Say, 'Free Weezy!' " Drake commanded during Lil Wayne's verse. Jay and Drizzy then let the mics explode with "Light Up."
Not letting the audience catch their breath, Beyoncé came out for "Forever Young."
"One word, Beyoncé, make some noise," Jay said about his wife. "That girl baaad! That girl tough!"
After "Already Home" came "Empire State of Mind." No Alicia Keys, but Roc Nation artist Bridget Kelly was on her A-game with the vocals. Not that it mattered, because the NYC crowd started drowning the song out on the hook.
"This is better than any Grammy. Better than any MTV award," Jay said about being able to rock his city.
He then went into overtime with a barrage of classics such as "Jigga My N---a" and "Izzo."
He told the fans he wasn't going anywhere and continued to keep the energy high "Where I'm From" and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder." Most of the sold-out crowd stayed until the very end, which was Jay during the Linkin Park mash-up version of "Encore."
"This night was like a gift for me," said the man who seemingly has everything. "I hope I returned it tenfold."

Kanye West has new arm candy just in time for Fashion Week: Former "Pussycat Doll" Melody Thornton.The rapper and Thornton were spotted at the Marc Jacobs women's store on Mercer St. during the boutique's Fashion's Night Out festivities. After chatting up Vogue editor Anna Wintour, they took photos together and held hands leaving the boutique. Fans of West chased the musical twosome down the street, snapping pictures on their cell phones.
An in-the-know source says West, 33, and Thornton, who turns 26 on Sept. 26, have been "dating for only about two weeks" but that things are going "very well."
Apparently, however, the "Power" artist isn't ready yet to walk the red carpet with Thornton. West left her behind in New York when he jetted to Los Angeles Saturday for the MTV Video Music Awards, where he was under plenty of scrutiny because of his behavior there last year.
But West returned to the city - and his curvaceous cutie - Monday.
We have a feeling West's ex, bald beauty Amber Rose, won't be too jealous of Thornton, despite Rose's breakup with Kanye this summer. After a rumored summer fling with New Orleans Saint Reggie Bush, the model found another trophy fish in the hip-hop gene pool: rapper Fabolous.
Rose and Fab haven't advertised their romance, either, but one nightlife-loving source spied the duo at Juliet Supper Club in Chelsea on Monday morning. They arrived together at 1 a.m. with two other friends, but left separately: Rose at around 3 a.m., Fab shortly before 4.
Although Rose and West dated for two years, our initial source tells us there's very little awkwardness or jealousy between Rose and Thornton. (Kanye West, Amber Rose and Fabolous' reps did not get back to us by deadline, and Melody Thornton's spokesman had no comment.)
Indeed, Rose was slated to walk in the Indashio fashion show Monday night, and we hear Thornton was invited to sit front row. There was even a chance both couples might end up hanging together at the celebrity stylist and designer's after-party at Highline Ballroom.
Rose was billed as host of the bash, and both Fabolous and Thornton were on the guest list. Rumors were circulating late Monday afternoon that West might make a surprise appearance.
Ain't love grand?

In the rap world, "stop snitching" is a powerful mantra - and the star known as The Game is one of its most popular proponents.
But the New York man who manages Game and other hip-hop heavyweights - Jimmy (Henchman) Rosemond - is named as an informer in court records, the Daily News has learned.
Rosemond has given information at least three times to state and federal law enforcement officials since the mid-1990s, documents reveal.
One of Rosemond's former lawyers even cited his repeated cooperation with the authorities in asking for leniency in a Los Angeles gun case.
He noted that Rosemond's dime-dropping helped Brooklyn prosecutors send a man to jail - exactly what the "stop snitching" campaign rails against.
Investigators say it's hypocrisy: Rosemond dishes when it suits him, yet makes a fortune off artists like Game (real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor), who titled a 2005 album "Stop Snitchin/Stop Lyin."
Another artist on the Czar Entertainment roster, Blood Raw, writes in his bio that he didn't cooperate after a drug bust because "I could never live and face my son knowing that I had snitched."
Rosemond's new lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, says his client is no snitch, no matter what's in court papers.
"The fact is that prosecutors later claimed he flat-out lied to them, and they weren't happy about it," said Lichtman, a top defense lawyer. He noted his client never signed a cooperation agreement.
"He met with [federal prosectors] for a single session, but there are plenty of reasons people meet with prosecutors. His lawyer at the time inflated what happened in an attempt to get a better sentence, and it didn't work."
This is what the court records show:
While Rosemond was held on a drug and gun case in North Carolina in 1996, four inmates plotted a jailbreak and asked him to join. He alerted authorities and spent several days in solitary to avoid retribution, his lawyer at the time wrote in court papers obtained by The News from federal archives.
In 1997, facing bail-jumping charges in New York, Rosemond gave information about crooked jail officials who altered paperwork to let him post bail.
He made "several monitored phone calls to one of the correction officers,", but the target was suspicious and "reluctant to speak with Mr. Rosemond," court papers said.
A year later, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn contacted Rosemond, seeking his cooperation in what documents describe only as a "historical criminal investigation."
Rosemond was "debriefed at length by federal agents and prosecutors." The defendant was convicted at trial, "confirming the accuracy of his information provided by Mr. Rosemond to the government," his then-lawyer noted.
Before he was sentenced in the L.A. gun case in 2000, Rosemond's then-lawyer argued for leniency because of his "assistance." The judge gave him 19 months, citing only the prosecutors' delay in bringing the case.
Rosemond, a Brooklyn native who got his start as a party promoter, has a rap sheet that dates back to a bike theft when he was 16. In 2006, he got three years' probation for a fight with a disk jockey.
He may not be an angel, but Lichtman wants to make clear he's also not a rat. "Law enforcement has been targeting Rosemond for years, desperate to take him down. Ray Charles could see Rosemond has not been a cooperator and was never considered one by the government," Lichtman said.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was in a fit of jealousy over a basketball player when he allegedly attacked his baby mama, Josie Harris and threatened to kill the pair ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.
According to the report, Mayweather read text messages on Josie's phone ... which included messages from C.J. Watson (pictured below), who plays for the Chicago Bulls. According to the report, Mayweather screamed, "'Are you having sex with C.J.?' Harris replied, 'Yes, that is who I'm seeing now.'"
According to the report, the 10-year-old son of Mayweather and Harris told cops he "saw his dad was on his mother and was hitting and kicking her."
According to the report, "Harris stated that Mayweather began yelling at Harris, 'I'm going to kill you and the man your (sic) are messing around with.' He also stated, 'I'm going to have you both disappear.'"
The police report says Harris was taken to Southern Hills Hospital and treated for "minor facial injuries and a sore left arm." Pictures of the injuries were taken.
The police report goes on to say while Harris was at the hospital Mayweather called Georgia Parker -- Harris' friend who lives in the house -- and told her to get out of the house.
As for why Mayweather was arrested for grand larceny Friday ... the police report says he left with her Apple iPhone 4 ... valued at $322.17.
As we first reported, Josie Harris called the police at around 5 AM Thursday from her home in Vegas -- and when cops arrived she told them the professional boxer had attacked her and threatened to kill her.

More Pics After The JumpLady Gaga will have a hard time topping this one.
At last night's MTV Music Awards, Gaga rocked a dress made of meat, which she paired with a “meat purse” and shoes wrapped in meat, wrapped in butcher’s twine.
According to Styleite.com, Franc Fernandez created the dress. No word on exactly what kind of meat was used, but I can't look at it without thinking it probably smelled bad.
Popcrunch posted Gaga's explanation of her ensemble.
“Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.”
This chick is wilding out something mad.

Video After The JumpMexico CityThe Mexican government announced Sunday it has captured the second major alleged drug trafficker in two weeks, giving Mexican President Felipe Calderon a boost ahead of bicentennial celebrations.
Sergio “El Grande” Villarreal Barragan, an alleged leader of the Beltran Leyva cartel, was captured in a raid led by 30 Mexican marines in the central state of Puebla.
His arrest follows that of Edgar “La Barbie” Valdez last month. The authorities say Mr. Valdez was trying to take over the leadership of the Beltran Leyva cartel, which splintered after the group's leader was killed by Mexican forces in December.
This is the fourth high-level arrest in less than a year, and comes amid public fatigue over the war. Since President Calderon sent thousands of troops and federal police in December 2006 across the country to fight organized crime, more than 28,000 have died in drug-related violence.
"This is a new and resounding blow by the federal government against crime, given the high rank and dangerousness of this person inside one of the country's most extensive criminal organizations which has been deeply weakened," national security spokesman Alejandro Poire said Sunday night.
The cartel and the fighting
The Beltran Leyva cartel is responsible for escalating violence in central Mexico, bringing to this once peaceful part of the country the mass graves and torture once largely limited to the US-Mexico border. The cartel has allegedly been weakened by infighting since the founder Arturo Beltran Leyva was killed on Dec. 16 during a military operation. Hector Beltran Leyva, still at large, and Sergio Villarreal Barragan are believed to be fighting a faction led by Edgar Valdez.
Analysts do not expect the cartel's internecine feuds to wane, as territories remain in dispute. “This is not the case of criminals ascending to be Roman emperors in which they only fight between the principal figures, but brutal gangsters that, with their paranoia, would fight even the pet if they believed it to be a potential internal enemy,” says Erubiel Tirado, a security expert at the Iberoamerican University in Mexico City. ”There is an undetermined number of potential bosses disputing the leadership of each group.”
Villarreal Barragan was one of Mexico´s most wanted criminals. And Mr. Poire said he now faces at least seven investigations involving drug trafficking and organized crime.
As was the capture of “La Barbie,” this latest is also a boost for Calderon, whose administration seems to, almost daily, face a major setback in its war against organized crime.
Just last week, 85 prisoners escaped from a jail in Reynosa, in northern Mexico, and a mayor in the San Luis Potosi state was killed by hooded gunmen who stormed his office and opened fire. Over the weekend, Mexican authorities defused a car bomb in Ciudad Juarez, the country´s most violent city across from El Paso, Texas, and where in July four were killed by a similar car bomb.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared the violence to an “insurgency,” and said that Mexico was beginning to resemble the Colombia of 20 years ago.

Video After The JumpFrom the self-deprecating teaser promos leading up to the show to her haphazard Lady Gaga impersonation to countless brazen one-liners and a skit involving spontaneous impregnation courtesy of a quick dip in the "Jersey Shore" hot tub, Chelsea Handler nailed her first-time VMA-hosting gig.
The sassy and outspoken E! talk-show host kicked things off with a pre-taped video, in which she was repeatedly smacked on the rear at random, as well as given a brutal coaching session from Lindsay Lohan.
Here's a rundown of our fave Chelsea Handler VMA moments:Handler's Entrance/Monologue
Handler dropped down to the stage amidst a group of dancers, wearing a house on her head and a glittery outfit. Once in place to deliver her opening remarks, she told the crowd: "My plan was to stay sober the entire show, but, in an interesting twist, I am as high as a kite. That's the last time I do a prayer circle with Snoop Dogg."
Speaking about the fact that the last time a woman hosted the show was Roseanne Barr in 1994, Handler poked fun at some of the nominees' activities that particular year.
"Justin Timberlake was in the Mickey Mouse Club pretending he wasn't having sex with Britney Spears," Handler joked. "'The Situation' was just a classy way to refer to a teenage pregnancy. And Justin Bieber's mom had just given birth to her 401k plan."
Best New Artist 2010 Meet-and-Greet Sketches
In another pre-taped video segment, Handler hilariously introduced herself to the Best New Artist nominees, including Ke$ha and Justin Bieber. Handler admitted a bit of a crush on the "Tik Tok" singer, and made the clip with Bieber memorable by accusing the teen star of wearing a wig and chasing him down trying to grab it.
Hot-Tub Party With the "Jersey Shore" Cast
Handler showed she had no problem getting wet and wild. When the Situation hollered out to Handler from their famous hot tub and asked her to join in the fun, she actually walked over and climbed into the tub with JWoww, Snooki and Pauly D. Cut to commercial. When the show came back, Handler complained about feeling disgusting, and when she stood up to get out of the tub, had been spontaneously impregnated.

It was the kind of argument that could crop up any time between a mother and a teenage son.Anthony Tyrone Terrell, then 17, broke the rules by inviting a girl over to his Lawrenceville house without supervision on Feb. 28, 2008. But instead of resulting in a shouting match or slamming door, it ended with the slaying of his mother, Joy Deleston, who was a Gwinnett County sheriff's deputy, and her two young daughters.
Terrell pleaded guilty to murder charges Friday and was sentenced to back-to-back life terms. He apologized and said he wished he could trade his life for the lives of the departed. But he was hard-pressed to explain how an argument so trivial could prompt a reaction so brutal.
"I never planned what happened that day," Terrell said, his voice even as he read a prepared statement before Superior Court Judge Debra Turner. "My mom and I got into a disagreement and things just spiraled out of control."
Prosecutors said after the pair argued Terrell retrieved his mother's service handgun and shot her twice.
Terrell's half-sister Micaiah was an 11-year-old whom relatives described as happiest when she was reading a book. She saw her mom get shot and started screaming. Terrell turned and fired several times, killing her. Then he went upstairs to find 4-year-old Jelani, a talkative, inquisitive child who Terrell affectionately called his "homie," relatives said. He kissed her and then shot her twice in the chest.
Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said Terrell told investigators he killed her because he didn't want her to grow up without a mother.
Terrell said he considered committing suicide next.
"That night my plan was to take my own life, but in the end I was unable to shoot myself," Terrell said.
The court heard testimony from Dominic Ross, the father of Micaiah, and from Mildred Richardson, Deleston's mother. Both said they forgave Terrell and that they loved him.
The rapper Juvenile, whose real name is Terius Gray, fathered Jelani. He did not attend the hearing. Juvenile did not respond to attempts to contact him by mail at three different addresses or through his management company, Porter said.
Richardson said she learned her daughter had been shot when a law enforcement officer came to her home near Charleston, S.C.
"I thought maybe a robbery had gone on, and Joy being the person she is, that she stepped in to help somebody," Richardson said. "I thought ‘Oh boy, what has she gotten herself into?'"
It wasn't until she arrived in Georgia that she learned her granddaughters were also dead, and that her grandson was the culprit.
Richardson begged the judge to give Terrell one life sentence, instead of two, because he would be eligible for parole sooner.
"In my heart, I know he didn't mean to do this," she said.
Richardson became overwrought after the hearing, prompting a deputy to bring in a medical kit and close the courtroom for about 15 minutes while relatives tended to her.
Defense attorney Lyle Porter, who is not related to the district attorney, acknowledged the frustration of many in the community who struggled to understand why the murders occurred. He said he believes Terrell's emotions went out of control in an instant and his actions after shooting his mother stemmed from a feeling of hopelessness.
"It's a tragedy all the way around and I think it's beyond comprehension," he said. "I don't think anybody will leave this courtroom with any better understanding."Sheriff Butch Conway issued a statement saying justice had been served, "even though it can never bring back Joy and her two beautiful little girls."
"I believe two life sentences will give him plenty of time to think about what he did to his family and to the grieving family members and friends who were left to deal with his actions," Conway said.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Gunmen killed 25 people in a series of drug-gang attacks in Ciudad Juarez, marking the deadliest day in more than two years for the Mexican border city. Farther east on the border, 85 inmates scaled the walls of a prison and escaped Friday in Mexico's biggest jail break in recent memory.
Despite the violence, President Felipe Calderon hotly disputed a statement this week by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying Mexico resembled Colombia two decades ago."These kind of comments like the ones made by Secretary of State Clinton ... so careless, so lacking in seriousness, are very painful for Mexico, because they damage Mexico's image terribly," Calderon told the Spanish-language network Univision.
"I think the main thing we have in common with Colombia is that both of our countries suffer from U.S. drug consumption," Calderon said. "We are both victims of the enormous American consumption of drugs, and now the sales of weapons."
The toll in Thursday's attacks in Ciudad Juarez included 15 people killed when attackers stormed four homes in three hours, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office of Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is located.
In the worst of those attacks, gunmen burst into a house and killed two young men — then killed four others for being witnesses.
Sandoval said it was the highest single-day murder toll in the city across from El Paso, Texas, since March 2008. He did not give more details of how many died back then, or say what day.
Two graffiti message appeared in Ciudad Juarez threatening Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the fugitive head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
"You are killing our sons. You already did, and now we are going to kill your families," one sign read.
In the border city of Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas, 85 inmates — 66 of whom were convicted or on trial for federal charges like weapons possession or drugs — scaled the Reynosa prison's 20-foot (6-meter) walls using ladders, said the Tamaulipas state public safety secretary, Jose Garza Garcia.Garza Garcia said 44 prison guards and employees were under investigation. Two were missing.
"The guards evidently helped in the escape," he said. So far this year a total of 201 inmates have escaped from prisons in Tamaulipas.
Friday's escape was the largest single mass prison breakout in recent years. In 2009, armed assailants believed to be working for the Zetas drug gang broke 53 inmates out of a prison in the northern state of Zacatecas while guards stood by and did nothing to stop them.
Ciudad Juarez, with a population of 1.3 million, has become one of the world's most dangerous cities amid a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels.
Violence has continued unabated despite the deployment of thousands of soldiers to the city this year. Federal police, including a special investigative unit, later took over security in the city as part of a new strategy announced by President Felipe Calderon.
More than 2,100 people have been killed this year in Ciudad Juarez, putting the city on pace to surpass its previous high of 2,700, set last year.
Daily homicide tolls routinely reach double digits in Juarez; 24 people were killed Aug. 15.
Also Friday, Sandoval confirmed that a U.S. resident kidnapped in Ciudad Juarez last month was found dead.
Saul de la Rosa, 27, was abducted along with two other people when he crossed into Ciudad Juarez on Aug. 28. All three bodies were found Sept. 2, and Sandoval said documents found on De la Rosa indicated he was a U.S. resident.
Elsewhere in Mexico, at least five people were killed in the southern Pacific coast state of Guerrero, where various cartels are also fighting for territory, state police reported. One body was found floating in the ocean in a beach town just north of the resort city of Acapulco, his hands and feet bound.
In central Morelos state, a prison riot left one inmate dead and eight wounded. Guerrero and Morelos state have both been battlegrounds for control the Beltran Leyva cartel since its leader, Arturo Beltran Leyva, was killed in a December shootout with Marines.
One of the alleged kingpins fighting for control of Morelos, U.S.-born Edgar "La Barbie" Valdez Villarreal, was captured Aug. 30 by federal police, but different accounts of how he was caught have since emerged.
The Mexican government has said the arrest was the result of a 1 1/2-year investigation and a carefully planned raid involving agents specially trained abroad.
But a copy of the booking report obtained by The Associated Press and other media outlets Thursday indicates the officers who arrested him did not initially know who they had caught. The officers' report says they detained Valdez after chasing him in a suspicious three-vehicle convoy for several miles.
On Friday, Valdez's U.S. lawyer, Kent Schaffer, told The Associated Press that Mexican authorities lured Valdez to a business 10 miles from his ranch by having a detained associate call and ask to meet him. He said Valdez drove to the place, got out of the car and found himself surrounded.
Schaffer said Valdez told him the associate was forced to make the call at gunpoint.
"He wasn't pulled over for traffic. He wasn't chased at all," Schaffer said. "From what I understand, an associate of Mr. Valdez was ordered at gunpoint to send him a message telling him to come meet."
A federal police spokesman, who was not authorized by department rules to be quoted by name, said an associate of Valdez's apparently did call Valdez just before he was caught, but said that happened while police were tailing the associate's car in Mexico City.
When the associate noticed the police, he opened fire and was killed in the ensuing gunbattle near a major shopping center, the spokesman said.
Also Friday, Mexico's attorney general said video tapes distributed by authorities showing Valdez giving a rambling account of his drug dealings are considered "interviews," and could not be formally submitted as evidence because his lawyer was not present. Attorney General Arturo Chavez said that in formal statements with his lawyer present, Valdez did not admit to the activities he acknowledged on the tapes.
Schaffer also said he filed an official request with the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City asking that the U.S. government request Valdez be deported to face trial in the United States, where he faces charges in three states for allegedly trucking in tons of cocaine.
A Mexican judge last week ordered Valdez held for 40 days while prosecutors here decide whether to formally file organized crime and other charges. Mexican authorities have said deportation is a possibility but have made no decision.

Video After The JumpFormer world champion Ricky Hatton has been filmed apparently taking cocaine in part of a ten hour drink and drugs binge.
The video was given to the News of the World by a friend of Hatton's, Emma Bowe, who told the paper: "I'm only talking about this because Ricky is a danger to himself.
"If he carries on like this he'll kill himself."
Hatton built up a legion of loyal fans in a glittering career, and first claimed the IBF Light Welterweight title in 2005 with a superb display against Australian Kostya Tszyu.
The "Hitman" then won titles at welterweight and put his unbeaten record on the line in late 2007 against the fighter regarded at the time as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer, Floyd Mayweather Junior.
The American inflicted his first ever defeat, knocking him out in the eighth round, and when Hatton had another chance to fight one of the world's very best, Filipino Manny Pacquiao, the result was even more devastating.
Since that encounter in May 2009 Hatton has been in semi-retirement, with the whispered talk of a return coming to nothing.
The adjustment after a career in the limelight is not an easy one for any fighter, and fellow retired boxer Joe Calzaghe was also caught by the News of the World using the same drug in March this year.
A source close to his family has said to Sky News: "Ricky Hatton's family will stand by and support him following the cocaine allegations in the News of the World.
