MIAMI (Associated Press) — Florida authorities say George Zimmerman, whose acquittal of murdering an unarmed black teen sparked a national debate on race and self-defense laws, has been arrested for allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office says the 31-year-old Zimmerman was arrested for aggravated assault in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday and is being held at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility.
During a court appearance Saturday morning, Zimmerman's bond was set at $5,000 and he was ordered to avoid contact with the woman who was not identified.
Judge John Galluzzo gave few details of the incident, but said a wine bottle was involved and that the alleged assault happened at Zimmerman's home. Prosecutors questioned whether substance abuse treatment was needed, but the judge said that didn't seem to be a factor.
After the brief hearing, Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, told the Orlando Sentinel (http://tinyurl.com/me467wh) his client was arrested after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend several days ago.

Zimmerman was also told by the judge to stay out of Volusia County, where the woman lives.
The judge ordered Zimmerman to pack up any personal belongings his girlfriend may have left at Zimmerman's home and give them to his lawyer.
Zimmerman, who wore blue scrubs and handcuffs, appeared calm during the brief hearing. At one point, he laughed and joked with an officer as he signed paperwork.
Although the incident didn't involve a firearm, the judge ordered Zimmerman to surrender any weapons out of an abundance of caution.
Zimmerman is scheduled to appear back in court on Feb. 17.
No further details about the alleged assault were released. A message left for Seminole County Sheriff officials seeking further information about the incident was not immediately returned Saturday morning.
Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 of a second-degree murder charge for shooting an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin.
Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law:
— He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didn't pursue the case.
— Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.
— Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations since his acquittal.

WBA International Light Welterweight Champion Adrien Broner was recently approached by Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports team about signing with the agency. He turned the offer down.
Broner felt disrespected by the money discussed and the fact that Jay never personally reached out to him.
"The type of offers I turn down. Fuck Jay Z. Shit real out here," Broner wrote on his Facebook page. "What the fuck is 40 million for five years? Somebody go tell Jay Z to suck my dick with a elephant tongue. WE GOOOOOOD!!!"
During an interview with TMZ Sports, Broner elaborated further.
"The capacity of the offer was $40 million for five years and that's just bullshit," he told TMZ Sports. "At the end of the day I felt disrespected. If you gonna come to me and tell me I'm gonna fight two times a year, getting $8 million a year for five years straight you got me fucked up. I'm not old. I'm scheduled to fight four times this year. Stop sending your workers to talk to me. I'm a boss and bosses talk to bosses."
The 25-year old fighter wasn't done. When asked whether getting one step closer to Rihanna would be an incentive to sign with RNS he offered a harsh reply.
"Man, fuck Rihanna. No disrespect," Broner said. "Rihanna ain't gonna make me no dollars. At the end of the day, she gon' give me some pussy and that's it."
**UPDATE** January 12
Broner has taken some time to reflect on his disrespectful language aimed at Jay Z and Rihanna and now regrets it. He told TMZ Sports that a friend reached out to him and made him see that what he said was wrong. He's issued an apology to both.
"You never invite a man to another man's private parts. That's just ridiculous," Broner told TMZ Sports. "I was caught up in the moment and I wanna apologize to Jay for that. I'm a man at the end of the day and I'm wrong. And I can admit when I'm wrong. I never should have said [fuck] Rihanna. I just wanna say I'm wrong to the public, I'm sorry. If Jay wanna talk to me, you can get in touch with me and we'll talk. I just had to get it off my chest."

Everyone has an opinion on the Michael Brown case and whether or not police are abusing their power in African American and Hispanic communities in the U.S.
In a cover story for Billboard, Kendrick Lamar offered his take.
"I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it's already a situation, mentally, where it's fucked up," the Compton, California native said. "What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting -- it starts from within."
Those comments didn't sit well with outspoken Harlem, New York rapper Azealia Banks. She took aim at Kendrick in a long Twitter rant.











**UPDATE** January 11
Welp, all hell has broken loose on Twitter. Lupe Fiasco sent out a tweet in support of Kendrick Lamar. Azealia Banks saw it and responded starting a verbal sparring session.
Rather than outright insult Banks, Lupe responded to everything she said with a series of hilarious pictures with captions reminding her that she was once a fan of his and copied his style.
Let's get started, shall we?



































Then out of nowhere Kid Cudi jumped into the battle sparking a war of words with Lupe.

PARIS (Associated Press) — Two al-Qaida-linked brothers suspected in the Charlie Hebdo massacre came out of their hideaway with guns blazing Friday and were killed in a clash with security forces, French police said. Moments later, another hostage-taker in Paris was killed in a separate clash, along with three of his hostages.
France has been high alert since the country's worst terror attack in decades — the massacre Wednesday in Paris at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.
After the two separate hostage-taking incidents began Friday, city officials scrambled to protect residents and tourists from further attacks, shutting down a famed Jewish neighborhood, putting schools under lockdown and urging residents to stay indoors and remain vigilant.

By Friday afternoon, explosions and gunshots rang out and white smoke rose up outside a printing plant in Dammartin-en-Goele, northeast of Paris, where brothers Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, had holed up with a hostage.
Security forces had surrounded the building for most of the day. After the explosions, a police SWAT forces were seen on the roof of the building and a police helicopter landed nearby it.
Audrey Taupenas, spokeswoman for the town near the Charles de Gaulle airport, said the brothers died in the clash. Their hostage was freed.
Another gunman who took at least five hostages Friday afternoon at a kosher grocery in Paris also died in a nearly simultaneous raid there, said Gael Fabiano of the UNSA police union.
The gunman, identified as Amedy Coulibaly, had earlier threatened to kill his hostages if French authorities launched an assault on the two brothers, a police official said. The two sets of hostage-takers know each other, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the rapidly developing situation.
One other police officer said three hostages also died at the grocery. None could say what happened to the woman listed on a police bulletin as his accomplice.
Security forces stormed the Paris grocery near the Porte de Vincennes neighborhood minutes after news of clashes at the printing plant. Moments later, several people were seen being led out of the store. It was not clear exactly how many hostages had been inside or how many were freed.

Trying to fend off further attacks, the Paris mayor's office shut down all shops along Rosiers Street in the city's famed Marais neighborhood in the heart of the tourist district. Hours before the Jewish Sabbath, the street is usually crowded with shoppers — French Jews and tourists alike. The street is also only a kilometer (a half mile) away from Charlie Hebdo's offices.
The gunman had burst shooting into the kosher store just a few hours before the Jewish Sabbath began, declaring "You know who I am," the official recounted. The attack came before sundown when the store was crowded with shoppers. Several wounded people were able to flee, police said.

Paris police released photos of Coulibaly, also believed responsible for the roadside killing of a Paris policewoman, and one of a second suspect, a woman named Hayet Boumddiene, who they said was his accomplice.
About 100 students were placed under lockdown in schools nearby and the highway ringing Paris was closed.
Hours before and 40 kilometers (25 miles) away , a convoy of police trucks, helicopters and ambulances streamed toward Dammartin-en-Goele, a small industrial town near Charles de Gaulle airport, to seize the Charlie Hebdo suspects, who had hijacked a car in a nearby town after more than two days on the run.
"They said they want to die as martyrs," Yves Albarello, a local lawmaker inside the command post, told French television station i-Tele.
With the brothers trapped, Charles de Gaulle closed two runways to arrivals to avoid interfering in the standoff or endangering planes.
Both brothers had ties to terrorist networks. Cherif Kouachi was convicted of terrorism charges in 2008 for ties to a network sending jihadis to fight U.S. forces in Iraq.
A Yemeni security official said his brother, Said, is suspected of having fought for al-Qaida in Yemen. Another senior security official said Said was in Yemen until 2012. Both officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of an ongoing investigation into Kouachi's stay in Yemen.

Both brothers were also on the U.S. no-fly list, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official said.
Nine people, members of the brothers' entourage, have been detained for questioning in several regions.
The satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo had long drawn threats for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized other religions and political figures. The weekly paper had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, and a sketch of Islamic State's leader was the last tweet sent out by the irreverent newspaper, minutes before the attack.
Eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor were killed in the newspaper attack, including the paper's editor. Charlie Hebdo plans a special edition next week, produced in the offices of another paper.
Authorities around Europe have warned of the threat posed by the return of Western jihadis trained in warfare. France counts at least 1,200 citizens in the war zone in Syria — headed there, returned or dead. Both the Islamic State group and al-Qaida have threatened France, home to Western Europe's largest Muslim population.
