Amber Rose Is Blonde & Loving It In New YRB Photo Shoot + Interview [More Pics Inside]

More Pics After The Jump

YRB Magazine just did a dope photo shoot and interview with Amber Rose. The woman who was once only known as Kanye West's girlfriend is starting to carve out her own niche.

Although she's come a long way, Amber hasn't forgotten her South Philadelphia roots.

“I grew up very poor, raised by a single mother,” Amber says. “We didn't have much as far as material things, but we had love and we had fun all the time. She raised me to have confidence and always taught me to be humble no matter what God brought my way… I’m confident in everything I do in life.”

In most pictorials Amber seems to be wearing little or nothing, but that is her choice.

“I’m very comfortable with my body, even in my home I’m always naked. I love being free – no hair and no clothes!”

So is she bi-sexual ? It's a question many people have wondered about.

“The thing that people don’t understand when it comes to a relationship with a man or woman is that it’s not about sex at all, even though that’s the first thing that pops in your head. It’s about the love and the vibe you get from the person, and I believe you can find that in anyone," she tells YRB.

One thing she isn't is ungrateful, she may not be on his arm anymore, but she gives Kanye West the ultimate compliment.

“Honestly, Kanye saved my life, and I don’t even think about what I would have been; I just think about what I’m gonna be”

See Ladies, It's Not Our Fault: Study Shows Men Are Born With 'Cheating' Gene [Video]

Women have pulled their hair out for hundreds of years wondering what they could do to keep their man from cheating.

From The White House to the hood, guys just can't seem to keep it in their pants. But, now there is scientific proof that men are just born to roam.

A study was done in Sweden in which scientists studied the gene types of 552 sets of twins. They found a bonding chemical in some men that makes them less likely to be married and more likely to have bad relationships.

Dr Brenda Wade, a psychology expert who's written three books on marriage and relationships agrees with the study.

"There's a gene that's been shown, that men have this particular gene or a variant of the gene. They have more trouble in relationships," she says.

Scientists say men don't have to cheat, but they do have to work harder at staying faithful.

So cut your man some slack ladies if he slips up once or twice. I mean, it's not like he can help it right?

Laker's Beat Celtics To Win NBA Championship

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 18, 2010 at 6:50am

LOS ANGELES — Purple and gold confetti raining down upon him, Kobe Bryant hopped up on the scorer's table, shook his fists and extended five fingers.

When he hopped down, Boston's legendary Hall of Fame center Bill Russell was waiting to shake his hand.

A Game 7 classic — and this time, it finally went the Lakers' way.

Bryant, the finals MVP, scored 23 points despite 6-of-24 shooting, and the Lakers won their 16th NBA championship Thursday night, dramatically rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Celtics 83-79 in Game 7 of the NBA finals.

Bryant earned his fifth title with the Lakers, who repeated as NBA champions for the first time since winning three straight from 2000-02. Coach Phil Jackson added his 11th, matching Russell's total and possibly putting a cap on his remarkable career if he decides to leave the Lakers.

"This one is by far the sweetest, because it's them," Bryant said after the Lakers beat Boston for the first time in a Game 7. "This was the hardest one by far. I wanted it so bad, and sometimes when you want it so bad, it slips away from you. My guys picked me up."

Ron Artest added 20 points for the Lakers, who didn't exactly show a champion's poise while making just 21 shots in the first three quarters, even hovering around 50 percent at the free throw line. Los Angeles finished with just 32.5 percent shooting.

Yet with Bryant driving the lane to earn eight free throws and Pau Gasol finally coming alive with nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, Los Angeles reclaimed the lead midway through and hung on with a few more big shots from Gasol, who had 18 rebounds, and a remarkable clutch performance by Artest, a first-time champion as the only newcomer to last season's roster.

"I had 20 points, and I still think we did this as a team," Artest said. "We fought together. This was one of the best games in, I don't even know, man. I don't want to be in a game like this, where the game can go either way. ... I'm just like, OK, what did I get myself into?"

He might be into a budding dynasty, with most of the Lakers' core locked into long-term contracts. With their fifth title in 11 seasons, the Lakers moved one championship behind Boston's 17 titles for the overall NBA lead.

After downplaying the NBA's best rivalry for two weeks, Bryant acknowledged this banner will loom just a little larger than the rest in those Staples Center rafters, given the opponent, the Game 7 stakes and the history they just made. The teams have met in 12 NBA finals, but the Lakers won for just the third time.

Jackson won his fifth ring in Los Angeles to go with his half-dozen from Chicago. And it might be the last: Weary of the regular-season grind and facing a likely pay cut with the Lakers, Jackson hasn't determined his future, though he previously said another title would make him more likely to chase an unprecedented fourth threepeat next season, when he'll be 65.

"I've got to take a deep breath. I've got to take some time to think about this," Jackson said, wearing a satisfied grin underneath his championship hat. "This was great. I'll wait to make that decision in a week."

Pau Gasol had 19 points and 18 rebounds in Game 7 against a depleted Celtics frontcourt.

With his hands already full, maybe Jackson will follow Russell's lead and put that 11th championship ring on a chain around his neck — and Bryant isn't likely to settle for just one handful of rings.
He made that clear to his coach.

"He knows how bad I want him back," Bryant said. "I've been openly blunt about how much I want him back."

Paul Pierce had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, who just couldn't finish the final quarter of a remarkable playoff run after a fourth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Garnett added 17 points and Rasheed Wallace had 11 before tiring while starting in place of injured center Kendrick Perkins, but Boston flopped in two chances to clinch the series in Los Angeles after winning Game 5 back home.

"Listen, give the Lakers credit," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "They were terrific."

Rivers knows changes are coming, even saying afterward that the '10-11 Celtics will be different than the '09-10 team.

"We were the tightest, most emotional, crazy group I've ever been around in my life," Rivers said, adding that he'll wait a while before deciding on his oft-speculated future.

He called this team "crazy close" and throughout the playoffs, the Celtics only got closer. Down by 14 in their first playoff game against Miami, they won that night and rode that instant burst of confidence not only past the Heat, but through Cleveland and Orlando in the next two rounds.

"We were scratching and clawing, trying to do everything we could to try to pull this out," said Ray Allen, who had 13 points on 3-of-14 shooting. "We had an opportunity to win, but it just didn't go our way down the stretch. I don't think we ran out of steam. Lady Luck just didn't bounce in our corner. ... There were a lot of tears, a lot of tears."

The Celtics were a .500 team for the final two-thirds of the season, prompting many to wonder if they could turn it back on for the playoffs. That question was answered long ago. Yes, they could — and one or two more stops on Thursday, they'd have won an 18th title.

"There's a lot of crying in that locker room," Rivers said. "A lot of people who care. I don't think there was a dry eye. A lot of hugs, a lot of people feeling awful. That's a good thing. Showed a lot of people cared."

The Celtics had never lost a seventh game in the finals. Despite nursing a lead through most of the night while holding the Lakers to ridiculously low shooting percentages until the final minutes, Boston couldn't close it out on the coast, becoming just the seventh team to blow a 3-2 finals lead after winning Game 5.

The Lakers tied it at 61 on Artest's three-point play with 7:29 left, and Bryant's free throws 90 seconds later gave the Lakers their first lead of the second half. The Lakers forged ahead by five points before Bryant and Sasha Vujacic hit free throws in the final seconds to keep Los Angeles ahead by at least two points on every possession.

Bryant said he had to downplay the magnitude of the rivalry during the series, but he came clean on the podium with his daughters, Natalia and Gianna.

"I was just lying to you guys," Bryant said. "When you're in the moment, you have to suppress that ... but you guys know what a student I am of the game. I know every series the Lakers have played in, and I know every Celtics series. I know every statistic. It meant the world to me, but I couldn't focus on that. I had to focus on playing."

Bryant wasn't at his best in Game 7, saying he "was on E ... really, really tired" after 23 playoff games with a litany of injuries. Didn't matter — he still captured the finals MVP award, after averaging 28.6 points in the series.

He's won three straight crowns before, and is already eyeing another three-peat try.

"Let's go for it again," Bryant said, moments before hoisting the finals MVP trophy.

The Lakers will hold a parade Monday, with the team riding floats from Staples Center down Figueroa Street to the USC campus in downtown Los Angeles. A rally at the Coliseum last year attracted 95,000 fans, but the Lakers are skipping the arena in favor of a more interactive celebration, the team said.

Exactly two years to the day after Boston beat the Lakers by 39 points to clinch the 2008 title, Los Angeles got revenge for perhaps the most embarrassing loss of Bryant's career — even if he did little more than grab 15 rebounds for most of the night.

The Celtics had much more poise from the opening tip in Game 7, playing vicious defense that forced Los Angeles to miss 21 of its first 27 shots. Bryant and Gasol were a combined 6 for 26 in the first half.

But forget how it looked early on, because history will. Bryant even did something Jerry West and Magic Johnson never could: He beat the hated Celtics in Game 7 of the finals.

The Lakers are the first team to rally from a 3-2 deficit to win a finals since Houston did it in 1994, beating the New York Knicks. Although Los Angeles stumbled to the brink of elimination for the first time in these playoffs last weekend in Boston, Bryant's teams still are spectacular finishers: They've closed out their playoff opponents on the first try 10 times while winning three straight Western Conference titles over the last three years.

Singer Lloyd Speaks On Collaboration With Lloyd Banks + New Album

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 17, 2010 at 5:56pm

(AllHipHop News) A variety of rappers have called upon R*B crooner Lloyd to help deliver them hit singles this Summer, including G-Unit member Lloyd Banks.

Lloyd, whose vocals are heard on 2009’s smash single “Bedrock,” is featured on four new singles that will drop this summer: Nipsey Hu$$le’s “Feeling Myself,” Chamillionaire’s “Make a Movie” featuring Twista, “Go, Go, Go” by newcomer J. Futuristic and Lloyd Banks’ “Any Girl.”

According to Lloyd, he would have never been able to work with an artist like Lloyd Banks, due to the ongoing feud between 50 Cent’s G-Unit and Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. collective of artists.

“There was no hesitation on my part because we never had direct issues,” Lloyd told AllHipHop.com of his collaboration with Lloyd Banks. “We met for the first time in the studio and everything just clicked. It felt like it was our 10th song together.”

Lloyd is currently preparing to release his debut album for Interscope Records and his fourth studio album overall.

The release could feature a rumored collaboration record between Lloyd, Drake and Rich Boy.

““I was independent for about 6 months and we just tried to stay as busy as possible with shows and collaborations,” Lloyd stated. “It’s starting to pay off now. “I like working with talented artist that are on their grind, whether they’re newcomers or veterans."

New Book Claims Death Row Was An FBI Front To Ruin Black Activism & Take Out 2Pac

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 17, 2010 at 5:38pm

(AllHipHop News) A new book being published claims that Death Row Records was actually a front for the FBI in an attempt to assault and end black activism.

The new book The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders: U.S. Intelligence’s Murderous Targeting of Tupac, MLK, Malcolm, The Panthers, Hendrix, Marley, Rappers & Linked Ethnic Leftists.

According to the book’s author, Baltimore area native and Columbia University graduate John Potash, he extensively researched the book, which claims to show the FBI’s consistent pattern of undermining black activism.

The book claims that Shakur was deliberately targeted by the government, like other black leaders, due to his growing influence in the African-American community, utilizing Hip-Hop music.

"What I think it was was that he had become the most influential black man in the black community in the country," Potash told The Baltimore City Paper. "The CIA and U.S. intelligence, what they have to do is win the hearts and minds of the people. They don't want to control us by force, they want us to control ourselves by having us believe in a certain way--that we don't need national health care, for example. And here, Tupacwas threatening to win over the hearts and minds of people, he was able to counter so much of the propaganda in the black community."

The FBI War on Tupac Shakur took ten years to research, utilizing court testimony, FBI documents and a number of previously unseen documents provided by The Black Panthers to Potash.

As for Death Row, Potash claims that the government was definitely involved in the record label’s operations, in a continued attempt to harass Shakur and derail his career.

"I believe that Death Row Records, which included dozens and dozens of police officers at all levels, according to a high-level police officer that investigated them, was a front company and was trying to continue penal coercion and mess up [Tupac Shakur's] head," Potash said.

A research documentary also accompanies the self-published book.

Does Anybody Care? T-Pain Says He's Not Putting Out Any More Music Until People Start Buying Music Again [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 17, 2010 at 10:07am

Video After Jump

There was a time in recent pop-culture history when T-Pain and his Vocoder were virtually inescapable. You couldn't turn on the radio, watch a hilarious viral video or tune into an awards show without getting an earful of T-Pain and his computerized twang.

But in 2010, with album sales still sluggish, T-Pain said he's not putting out any new music until the tide turns.

"I got the mastered version of my album in my car right now. But I'm not bringing my album out until these artists start selling records again, 'cause ain't nobody selling records unless you Susan Boyle," T-Pain told MTV News. Even though his website is promoting his forthcoming effort RevolveR, the collabo king insisted he's going to fall back until album sales pick up. "I'm not doing nothing. I'm not bringing out no album, not dropping no more new singles until people start selling records again, and that's the approach I think everybody should take unless you Susan Boyle or Miley Cyrus."

Pain said that, these days, artists who are not running things on the pop tip don't really have a chance. "It ain't really nothing else you can do. Any hip-hop artists, anybody coming from the South, we ain't doin' it," T-Pain said. "Until everybody show and prove, I ain't droppin' no album."

While he's holding back on his solo work, Pain is still collaborating and told MTV News about creating the track "My Own Step" with ATL's Roscoe Dash for the soundtrack to the dance flick "Step Up 3-D." "The song was for somebody else at first, and then they was asking ... [T-Pain's label] Nappy Boy: 'Do we have some songs for the "Step Up 3-D" movie?' " said Pain, who sent songs featuring artists such as Sophia Fresh, Tay Dizm and One Chance. "They was like, 'You got some stuff with you on it?' I was like, 'Yeah, here go a song right here.' They came up to me like, 'Roscoe Dash got on.' I was like, 'Yes! We got him!' " T-Pain said, adding, "I've been trying to do a song with Roscoe Dash for a long time."

Pain, who's no stranger to hitmaking, said he was looking forward to working with the "Show Out" rapper, because he thought Dash brought something fresh to the game.

"I've been living in Atlanta for, like, two and a half years ... and I listen to the radio a lot, and they play all Atlanta. When Roscoe Dash's song came on the radio, I was like, 'Oh, thank you,' " Pain said. "It was just a relief. It was just something new."

Drake's new album is selling quite well according to early reports. So excuse him if he's dismissive of people trying to throw dirt on his shine.

“I really don't care… sometimes I get a lil impulsive when you start talking about the people I love. You can say whatever about me, I'll never respond to it, like I'll never react to it, but if you start talking about the people I love then I do get a little bit more reactive and that's all that happened there, Nicki's got records climbing the charts and today Thank Me Later is in stores, so it's just about relevant people today…”

50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather Jr Talk Compilation Album, Fake Rappers. Is Floyd Dissing Lil Wayne? "You Got Rapper's Get A Bunch Of Tattoos,Go To Jail 10-20 Days. Next Time Out They Rock Stars"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 17, 2010 at 6:00am

Video After The Jump

For the original concept of his Black Magic album, 50 Cent said he was inspired by dance music while touring overseas. Now that he's in the U.S., on the Invitation Tour, the G-Unit team captain said he has a whole other muse for a completely different album.

"I started working on it," 50 said last week in Los Angeles. "I been working on writing to a concept for Black Magic. ... I recorded 19 songs. Then when I got back to the U.S., I started writing to a different concept. I spoke to Em. He called me when I was starting in Detroit."

Before Fif could go more in-depth about his upcoming album, his friend, Floyd Mayweather — who sat in on the interview as well — announced he has an LP as well. "We're doing a compilation album," Money Mayweather said. The boxing champ said he'll be highlighting various artists on the project.

"We'll probably launch it in the heat of the next bout," Fif said. "It'll probably be the biggest fight in the history of the sport."

Of course, 50 was referring to the long-delayed Mayweather/ Manny Pacquiao title bout. Floyd wants Pacquiao to take Olympic-style drug testing, and Manny has resisted thus far.

Back to the music: Fif and Mayweather agree that a lot of the hip-hop out right now has taken a softer turn.

"It'll just make room for you to impact when [the hardcore] comes back," 50 assessed. "No one told the world to enjoy that [softer] music temporarily. I think a big portion of why people didn't want to hear the aggressive content is because the people conveying them were lying."

"You got rappers in today's time, they get a small advance from their record label, get a bunch of tattoos, a few piercings on their face, go to jail for 10 or 20 days, [then] they killers," Mayweather weighed in. "Next time out, they rock stars. I think rap is crazy, but it's still very creative."

Mike Tyson Says Tupac Shakur Was 'Fearless' [Audio]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 16, 2010 at 6:30pm

Video After The Jump

The last time Mike Tyson saw Tupac Shakur, it was September 7, 1996.

'Pac, who had struck up a friendship with Tyson in the early 1990s, came to Las Vegas like thousands of others to watch "Iron Mike" clean the clock of fellow pugilist Bruce Seldon. That night, Tyson won the World Boxing Association's heavyweight championship title via first-round TKO. After the bout, Mike, 'Pac and Suge Knight headed to the locker room to celebrate. No one knew that prizefight night would also mark one of the greatest tragedies in hip-hop: Tupac was shot as he left the Tyson/Seldon matchup; he died from his injuries a few days later, on September 13.

" 'Pac was just a ball of energy," Tyson recalled of his friend, when MTV News called him up on Wednesday (June 16).

The most prolific MC ever, 'Pac would have celebrated his 39th birthday Wednesday. Instead, the hip-hop community honors Shakur's life and legacy. Tyson remembered him as an individual who was unique, to say the least. The former heavyweight partied with the icon, but the two men also shared some insightful private conversations.

"He was incredible. You knew he was a special person when he's in your presence," Tyson said on the phone from Las Vegas.

"If you had any consciousness of the reality we live in, you could feel his energy. You knew he was a special individual." Mike described their talks as, "purely emotionally intimate talking; expression of feeling. He was very prolific in expressing himself. He had a lot of hostility. I think it was just misguided and misdirected. It was obvious he was a genius, he was a prodigy. Whoa! He was just amazing as far as his energy was concerned. He was explosive — like a black panther ready to pounce."

In the ring, Tyson exhibited 'Pac-like qualities himself. He intimidated the competition, but the people loved him. He was a warrior, the fiercest gladiator the sport has ever seen.

"He looked very destructive. He came across as a world beater," Tyson said. "As far as his music was concerned, his presence and his energy ... the word I'm looking for is fearless. He came across as fearless. When you come across somebody that's fearless, you're a little bit in awe. You're like. 'Whoa!' He's ready to blow, too, at any moment; very volatile. He's very focused. He can go from one second to the next and get very focused."

Tyson and Tupac met during a turning point in both their careers. Iron Mike was the biggest and baddest draw in boxing, but also a year removed from having lost his heavyweight championship. 'Pac was still affiliated with Digital Underground and about a year from landing the star-making role that would launch him: the intriguing, if insane, Bishop in 1992's crime saga "Juice."

"Magic Johnson had a party at the Palladium in Los Angeles," Iron Mike said, jogging his memory. "What year was this? No, I wasn't champion, it was '91. I just fought [Donovan 'Razor'] Ruddock ... I believe I came outside. I was talking to the people running the door. They were friends of mine. They wouldn't let these guys in, Tupac and them. I said, 'Man, let these guys in. You remember how it was with us.'

"So they let him in. 'Pac had said, 'Hold up for one minute,' and he brought back 200 more people. He had a gang of people with him. They said, 'Listen, you can't go through the front, you have to go through the back.' Next thing I knew, it was over. I hear somebody on the mic — he took the mic. Him and his guys got the mic somehow and started rapping. The whole crowd started going crazy. They loved him. The guys from Digital Underground introduced him to me. They said, 'This is Tupac.' I met him, he was very young. He was very happy, vivacious. He just had energy. He was wild, an amazing individual."

More than three years would pass before Tyson and Tupac crossed paths again. In 1995, 'Pac visited the champ at the Plainfield Correctional Facility, in Plainfield, Indiana, where Tyson was serving his sentence for a rape conviction (a crime for which Tyson still maintains his innocence).

"The next time I saw [Tupac] I didn't even know who he was," Tyson said. "I knew he was '2Pac.' But his mother had wrote me a letter in prison ... I remembered that night. He came to prison to see me. We spoke. He was so much more confident than when I had met him the other time, probably a year or two prior to that. He had gone from being shy guy to very strong-willed and confident and independent. He was tremendously feeling himself. He had so much confidence. He was bursting off the air.

"He came to the prison. He was standing on the table, started talking. All the people in the prison started going crazy. I said, 'Sit. Sit down. Sit, brother, sit,' " Tyson recalled. "The white prisoners, the guards, everybody went crazy in this redneck prison. They went nuts when he came in there. I didn't know he was [famous] like that. I didn't know he was like that! I thought he was some young brother. But when he came in, I didn't know people was feeling him like that too. I was like, 'Yo man. Chill, brother.' He was wilding, sweating, talking, being very gregarious. He was prolific. He was talking, having a ball. ... He was very territorial. He was an interesting guy. He was different than any other rapper I had ever met from a philosophical perspective."

Tyson said all of the prisoners were trying to talk to 'Pac and snap pictures with him. But the champ was concerned that all the hoopla might get him thrown out of the facility, which had happened before when other celebs had visited the boxing legend.

"I didn't know Tupac was that big then, because I was inside," Tyson explained. "That's when they had that [East Coast vs. West Coast] beef stuff [with Bad Boy]. I didn't know Tupac was who he was. I had no idea."

He Did What? Producer Alex Da Kid Says Diddy Asked Him To Make A Beat That "Makes Him Feel Like A White Man In A Basement In Atlanta"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 16, 2010 at 6:19pm

Diddy is an artist with particular tastes. Some might call those tastes downright weird.

Rap-Up is reporting the Bad Boy CEO summoned London producer Alex Da Kid to his studio at 3am for a recording session.

Diddy began to reel off what he wanted from the beat maker.:

“He was like, ‘I want the beat that makes me feel blue,’” says Alex, “That's blue as in the color."

Diddy then went over the top for his next reqest.

“Diddy said to me, ‘I want a beat that makes me feel like a white man in a basement in Atlanta."

Da Kid isn't sure if any of his beats will make the final cut for Diddy's next album 'Last Train To Paris', but he is certain of one thing.

“Diddy’s hilarious.”

Indeed he is, Alex.

O Lawd She's Lost It: NY Correction Officer Goes On Shooting Rampage, Injuring Her Grandfather Then Killing Her Lesbian Lover & Uncle [Video]

A correction officer went on a blood-thirsty rampage in Long Island Wednesday, killing her ex-girlfriend and her own uncle during four hours of mayhem that also left the shooter's grandfather wounded, police said.

The suspected shooter also abducted her niece and hopped in a car, surrendering just before 6 a.m. during a traffic stop in Hempstead. Charges are pending against Kim Wolfe, 43, who was hospitalized after having trouble breathing.

"She loved her job," Patricia Bines said of her slain sister, Stacie Williams, a nurse's aide. "She loved working with babies. This is the worst day of our lives."

Williams, 45, was working the night shift at Nassau University Hospital about 1:30 a.m. She was standing near the front entrance and on a cigarette break when she was confronted by her former lover.

The mother of three was shot several times and died in front of the same hospital where she worked in the maternity ward.

Compounding the anguish for Williams' family was an injury to the murder victim's son. He was struck by a car as he ran across Hempstead Turnpike in a desperate dash to reach his dying mother's side.

"She lived life like it was golden," said her other sister, Nicole Rogers, 38. "That was the motto for her."

Williams worked at the hospital for 23 years, union officials said.

After the first shooting, Wolfe drove about 3 1/2 miles to Hempstead.

Police said more gunfire erupted there about 2 a.m. Wolfe's 56-year-old uncle was shot to death and her grandfather was shot in the leg. Their names weren't immediately released.

"I would have never known this was coming," said Ron Lanier, 46, who worked with Wolfe at the Nassau County Correctional Facility in East Meadow. "She loved her grandfather, she was over there all the time."

Jerry Laricchiuta, President of the Civil Service Employees Association local 830 union, said he met Wolfe when he worked at the jail and could not believe he was capable of such brutality.

"I knew Wolfe," he said. "She was a character, but nothing that would ever indicate she would ever do anything like this."

Wolfe drove away from the scene of the second killing in her Mitsubishi Montero. Police said Wolfe took her 23-year-old niece as a hostage. Cops pulled her over about 5:45 a.m. and arrested her. The niece wasn't injured.

Officers found a handgun in Wolfe's car.

The suspect has been a correction officer for 19 years and worked the midnight shift supervising inmates at the county jail next to the hospital, said Liz Consolo, spokeswoman for Nassau County sheriff's office.

Ok Fam You Need To Chill Now: Drake Tries To Explain His Rihanna Fascination "She Made Me Feel Small & Nervous" [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 16, 2010 at 5:00pm

By being candid both in life and in rhyme, Drake is discovering that his brand of raw honesty can come at a cost. The Toronto MC says that he was "a pawn" to pop diva Rihanna in a recent New York Times. Now, his revealing remarks about their long-rumored fling are making headlines.

Drake, however, said his intent wasn't to offend the "Umbrella" star.

"That's a moment that I've been eager, sort of, to explain," he told MTV News. "I feel like when people write about it or try to take an excerpt from me describing it, it's gonna sound negative. And in no way was it negative. I'm at one of the greatest places in my life — I'm on top of the world. I'm extremely confident, so it's very rare that anybody, let alone a woman that I like, makes me feel nervous or makes me feel small.

"She's just such an overwhelming and incredible person," Drake continued. "And such a talented person and someone that I was like, 'I can't believe I'm here talking to this individual,' that she just gave me that feeling like when I was 17 years old trying to take Nikki Ramos, this girl from Toronto, out on a date and she never wanted to go with me. She never would go; she would have a million excuses why she couldn't talk to me. That's how [Rihanna] made me feel, she made me feel small; she made me feel nervous. It just put me back to the Acura in Toronto, feeling like Aubrey Graham, not Drake."

The two stars caused quite a stir last year when New York City tabloids reported the pair were spotted getting cozy at an upscale Manhattan bowling alley. Drake denied the talk, appearing on local radio station Hot 97 to say he and Rihanna were just friends.

But on his debut, Thank Me Later, he addresses the topic on opening track "Fireworks," clearing the air and looking back on the moment — and what could have been.

"I could tell it wasn't love/ I just thought you f---ed with me/ Who could have predicted/ Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me," Drake spits in the second verse. "Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily/ What happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me/ Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags want to cover me/ And you making it seem like it happened that way because of me."

Still, in spite of his lyrics, Drake isn't one to kiss and tell. When asked what it was like to plant one on Rihanna, the rapper was coy.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he smiled and looked away.
