VH1's new show "Famous Crime Scene" made it's debut last night (Friday February 12).

They focused on the unsolved murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur who died at age 25 after being shot four times in Las Vegas September 1996.

Watch as they take a CSI-style look into one of the biggest who-done-it's ever.

Ke$ha’s hot start hasn’t let up yet: “TiK ToK” stayed firmly planted at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 for the eighth straight week. The Animal singer is now the first female artist since 1977 to have her debut single spend that much time consecutively atop the Hot 100, Reuters reports, with Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” the last single to accomplish it. Boone’s debut single spent 10 weeks at Number One, so “TiK ToK” needs another three weeks at the top before another record is shattered.

It seems like only two tracks stand a chance of unseating “TiK ToK,” starting with Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Know,” which jumped from Number Eight to Number Three, marking the first time a country music band has made the Top Three since Lonestar’s “Amazed” in 2000. The other contender: The all-star 25th anniversary recording of “We Are the World,” which benefits Haiti relief efforts. That track, featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and dozens more, made it's debut last night during NBC’s broadcast of the Winter Olympics’ Opening Ceremony.

Ke$ha is also responsible for the biggest digital single sales week by a female artist in history as “TiK ToK” was downloaded 610,000 times in the seven days following Christmas. The record for most digital sales in one week is currently held by Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” which features Ke$ha on the hook.

Animal’s Number One debut on the Billboard 200 initiated Ke$ha into a small club of female artists to have their first album top the charts. She also (possibly) defaced the historic Hollywood sign (though Ke$ha told Rolling Stone yesterday that she’s legally not allowed to discuss the prank).

Tila Tequila has fallen and fortunately she will be getting back up.

The MTV "Shot At Love" star took a spill at her home last night (Friday February 12) according to TMZ.

Tila actually tweeted about the accident before calling an ambulance saying she had fallen out of her chair and "slammed my head into the wall and heard the back of my skull crack. theres a dent in it now!"

Ms. Tequila later referenced actress Natasha Richardson who tragically died from a head injury following a skiing accident.

"I should call the ambulance just in case? like that one actress that died cuz she hit her head & thought she was ok but died later..pray 4 me."

Tila's last tweet of the night stated "Ambulance on the way to my house. I could have a brain concussion and die ina few hours."

Luckily for Tila and her legion of fans she was treated at a local hospital for what her agent described as a concussion and later released.

A biology professor went on a bloody rampage after being denied tenure Friday, gunning down three colleagues and wounding three others during a faculty meeting, police said.

"I heard three shots and screaming," said Melanie Gates, an engineering student at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

A Harvard University-trained neuroscientist, Amy Bishop, was charged with one count of capital murder, which means she could face the death penalty if convicted.

As she was taken in handcuffs from a police precinct to the county jail she screamed, "It didn't happen. There's no way ... they are still alive."

Bishop returned to the faculty meeting shortly after being denied tenure around 4 p.m. and opened fire in a third-floor meeting room at the Shelby Center for Science and Technology, university officials and witnesses told WAFF-TV.

The three killed were Gopi K. Podila, the chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences, and faculty members Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson, said university spokesman Ray Garner.

Two others were in critical condition, and a third who was wounded was upgraded to fair condition, Garner said.

Davis' husband, Sammie Lee Davis, told the Associated Press his wife, a researcher at the university, was at a meeting to discuss the tenure status of a faculty member who got angry and started shouting.

He said his wife had mentioned the shooter before, describing the woman as "not being able to deal with reality" and "not as good as she thought she was."

Andrea Bennett, a sophomore majoring in nursing, was in one of Bishop's classes Friday morning.

Bennett said nothing seemed unusual, but she described Bishop as being "very weird" and "a really big nerd."

"She's well-known on campus, but I wouldn't say she's a good teacher. I've heard a lot of complaints," Bennett said. "She's a genius, but she really just can't explain things."

Bennett, an athlete at UAH, said her coach told her team that Bishop, who joined the faculty in 2003, had been denied tenure and that may have led to the shooting.

"She went to Harvard, so she is very smart. I can see that her getting denied tenure at UAH would be pretty upsetting," said Bennett.

There was still a heavy police presence on the campus of 7,500 students Friday night, with police tape cordoning off the main entrance to the university.

"You never thought it would happen here," a student told The Huntsville Times. "It's like Virginia Tech deja vu. But it's not like a guy running through the hall. This was another professor."

Nas has kept quiet, at least publicly about his pending divorce with Kelis until now.

In a story 1st reported by Rap-Up the Queens MC complains about the hefty sums of money leaving his pockets in a new verse added to a song titled "Strong Will Continue" with Damian Marley.

How in the hell am I supposed to stay comfy/ When I pay child support, alimony monthly,”

Nas is currently paying $51,000 a month in spousal and child support. Just last month Kelis asked that he be held in contempt of court for missing his December payment.

The once happy couple share a son, Knight who Nas also mentions in the song in a line referencing Bruce Lee's son Brandon who died on the set of the movie "The Crow"

Twisted and mangled, sort of like Bruce Lee life/ Cursed with his son Brandon/ If that’s you and me Knight/ I pray our fate’s greater.”

There have been internet rumors of infidelity during the marriage on both Nas and Kelis' part, but if Nasir is to be believed it was Kelis who was doing all of the sleeping around.

So I’ve stuck with some married women so fine, cheating while their husband rushing on the 40-yard line/ Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time.”

I'm sure this isn't the last we will hear about this from either party. Kelis is working on a new album so expect to her to air out more dirty laundry soon.

B.G., a prominent local hip-hop artist and longtime collaborator with superstar Lil Wayne, pleaded innocent to a gun charge Thursday in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.

Christopher Dorsey, 29, who raps under the moniker B.G. or Baby Gangsta, was arrested with two other men in November for allegedly possessing three weapons, along with loaded magazines and two extended clips, while driving in eastern New Orleans. Police said two of the three guns had been previously reported stolen.

Officers from the NOPD's 7th District halted the late-model Chevrolet Tahoe after watching the driver commit a traffic violation, police said. Dorsey and Jerod Fedison, 18, were each booked with a count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. A third man, Demounde Pollard, was booked on gun and drug charges, but prosecutors later dropped the case, according to court records. Fedison, meanwhile, has pleaded innocent.

Dorsey, a resident of St. Rose, has a lengthy rap sheet, and is facing stiff penalties if found guilty on the gun charge.

A request for comment from Dorsey's publicist was not immediately returned Thursday evening.

Last year, he pleaded guilty in Jefferson Parish to driving while intoxicated and was ordered to a serve two years' probation. As part of his sentence, he was to undergo drug testing. He failed a test late last year, and was ordered in Orleans Parish on Thursday to pay $350 to the judicial expense fund and undergo another drug test next week, court records show.

Amid the mounting legal troubles, Dorsey released a well-received rap album, "Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood, " in December on Atlantic Records.

Dorsey has been rapping for more than 15 years. He grew up in Uptown, and was member of the Hot Boys ensemble, which boasts such big names as Lil Wayne, Juvenile and Young Turk.

Lil Wayne, or Dwayne Carter, an international superstar raised in Hollygrove, is facing his own legal troubles in New York. He is due to be sentenced next month on a gun charge and has a plea deal worked out that calls for a one-year stint in jail, according to the Associated Press.

Cash Money Records CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams has made a lot of wise investments over the years, but one he truly regrets is working with R. Kelly.

When asked by Ozone Magazine what his worst investment ever was Birdman said.

"Probably the worst investment I did was f*ckin’ with R. Kelly. That was a waste of my time. I could’ve made money if I wasn’t f*ckin’ with that clown-a** n*gga."

The two were supposed to record the album 'Best Of Both Worlds 2' back in 2003 but for whatever reason the album never came out.

Birdman also confirms that the star tattoo on top of his head represents an oil rig. He and his brother slim have been in the oil business for 5 years now.

The Top Ten Weirdest Athletes Of All Time


Athletes are famous for being superstitious or quirky. They do things like wear the same t-shirt for every game, washed or not. Or listen to a particular song before they take the field or even eat certain meals.

In the history of athletics though none have been more strange than this list of 10 athletes compiled by the Houston Chronicle.

Let's take a look.

10. Clinton Portis


Clinton Portis likes to dress up as various characters and perform interviews as them.

There’s the Mad Scientist, who wears glasses like Geordi from Star Trek and claims that his wild hair came from sticking his finger in an electric socket.

There’s Southeast Jerome from Southeast D.C., who was on his way to the bright lights of New York to go dancing.

There’s Dr. I Don’t Know, who wears pink-rimmed glasses that used to be white, but were stained with blood during surgery, and doesn’t know why the Redskins lost 36-0 to the Giants.

There’s Dolemite Jenkins, who like to dance with men and even asked a reporter if he wanted to cut the rug. Portis later revealed that Jenkins, who rocked a red curly-haired wig and dorky glasses, was inspired by the movie Napoleon Dynamite.

There’s also Choo-Choo, Bud Foxx, Prime Minister Yah Mon, Dolla Bill...

9 Chad Ochocinco


As if changing one’s surname from Johnson to Ochocinco isn’t weird enough. Johnson is famous for his ridiculous and often hysterical touchdown celebrations.

He’s performed CPR on the ball, made a bogus proposal to a cheerleader, and held up a sign that read, “Dear NFL, Please Don’t Fine Me Again.”

He’s raced a thoroughbred for charity (he won, for the record) and has sported some of the oddest hairstyles sports have ever seen.

Ochocinco’s newest obsession is his Twitter account, which he posts on as often as 50 times a day.

Here is my personal favorite Ochocinco-ism from Twitter: "You think Brett will put me in one of those Wrangler Jeans commercials, straight up, year supply of Wranglers for Esteban, awesome."

If you're wondering, Esteban is one of his many alter egos.

8 Bill "Spaceman" Lee


Pitcher Bill Lee is perhaps the most interesting man to ever step onto a baseball diamond. He represented the counterculture in America during a time, the 1970s, when a distinct counterculture existed.

Lee was a man of the Earth. He spoke to animals, supported environmental causes, practiced yoga, and consumed A LOT of pot.

In fact, he was once fined $250 by Major League Baseball for sprinkling marijuana on his pancakes.

Lee was also well-known for his outspoken personality. A constant source of quotes for the media, Lee let loose on issues ranging from population control to school busing in Boston.

Lee was also extremely intelligent. He studied Eastern philosophy, the works of Einstein, and later wrote four books. Fittingly, Lee was a lefty. You know what they say about lefties.

7 Manny Ramirez


Manny Ramirez once high-fived a Red Sox fan in Baltimore after making a catch in left field and still found time to fire the ball back to the infield for a double play.

He once strangely massaged the head of then teammate Julian Tavarez, another odd duck, in the dugout during a game.

He spent “free time” between innings at Fenway hanging out in the Green Monster, occasionally on his cell phone.

He once made a diving catch on a relay throw from teammate Johnny Damon that wasn’t intended for him. He took his spot in left field with a water bottle in his back pocket on one occasion.

That’s just Manny Being Manny.

6 Jimmy Piersall


Piersall, an outfielder in the 1950s and 1960s, collected a laundry list of strange incidents during his playing days.

Perhaps the most well-known was the fistfight he had with Billy Martin prior to a game in 1952. I know what you’re thinking; a lot of guys probably threw hands with Billy Martin in their playing days, but Piersall’s strange behavior only begins there.

That same year he spanked the four-year old son of teammate Vern Stephens in the Red Sox clubhouse during a game.

He once stepped to the plate playing air guitar with his bat while wearing a Beatles wig and frequently talked to Babe Ruth’s bust in Monument Park when visiting Yankees Stadium.

Piersall later became the subject of the movie "Fear Strikes Out" about his battle with bipolar disorder.

Later in his life, he said, "Probably the best thing that ever happened to me was going nuts. Who ever heard of Jimmy Piersall until that happened?"

5 Turk Wendell


Wendell, a pitcher for a number of teams from 1993 to 2004, was nearly as entertaining as he was downright weird. Wendall chewed black licorice while he pitched and brushed his teeth between every inning.

Speaking of teeth, he wore necklace strung with the teeth of animals he had killed during his many hunting outings.

Wendell was also extremely superstitious. He leaped over the baseline whenever he took or left the field and required that umpires roll him the ball at the beginning of each inning instead of throwing it.

Wendell was obsessed with the movie Major League and wore the number 99 as a tribute to Charlie Sheen’s character, Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn.

Wendell became one of the game’s most liked players due to his quirky behaviors and eccentric personality.

4 Joe Namath


“Broadway Joe” was as unusual as he was great. The always flamboyant Namath often wore full length fur coats on the sideline.

His appearance in an ad for Beautymist pantyhose in 1974 still reigns as the strangest athlete endorsement of all time because he was shown wearing said pantyhose.

He once retired briefly to protest the NFL’s insistence that he sell his partial share in a New York City bar with mafia ties.

Despite having retired nearly 25 years ago, Namath still finds ways to put himself into the headlines.

In 2004, during an interview with ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber, a drunken Namath informed Kolber that he wanted to kiss her. Soon after, Namath sought treatment for alcohol addiction

3 Mark "The Bird" Fidrych


Fidrych, whose nickname was derived from his resemblance to Big Bird, was the 1976 AL Rookie of the Year but only played until 1980.

However, he made a huge impact in his five seasons in the big leagues. Fidrych frequently spoke to the ball while on the mound and aimed it like a dart before starting his windup.

Fidrych would ask umpires to take back balls he believed “had hits in them” and insisted that they come back as pop-ups.

Fidrych became a sensation in Detroit, with attendance skyrocketing whenever he was scheduled to start.

Perhaps Fidrych’s most endearing quality was his insistence that if he wasn’t pitching in the major leagues, he would be pumping gas back in his hometown of Northborough, Mass.

2 Dennis Rodman


Oh, where to start. “The Worm” has made a career out of being different. From dyeing his hair every color over the rainbow to his rendezvous with Madonna, Rodman has always found a way to make himself the center of attention.

He married hottie Carmen Electra, and after showing up in a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, himself.

He once skipped a practice during the NBA Finals to participate in a professional wrestling bout with friend Hulk Hogan.

Rodman’s had his own reality television show, posed nude for PETA, and been in a couple of bad movies. Then there are all the piercings, the tattoos and the arrests.

Somehow along the way, he managed to win five world championships and be a seven time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. What hasn’t Rodman done?

1 Mike Tyson


The chronicles of Mike Tyson are well known. From the early days of being Iron Mike, one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, to the tattoo-faced oddball we know today.

Along the way, Tyson manufactured some of the strangest and disturbing quotes in sports history. In 2002, Tyson told Lennox Lewis, “I want your heart. I want to eat your children.”

He also once advised a female reporter to stop talking unless she wanted to fornicate, because he only does interviews with women if he fornicates with them first.

While his whole life would qualify as strange, Tyson owns the holy grail of peculiar events in sports history. In 1997, Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their heavyweight showdown.

Tyson returned to the spotlight in 2009 with his cameo in the hilarious Vegas caper The Hangover. It’s widely believed to be his best performance since knocking out Michael Spinks in only 91 seconds in 1988.

LOS ANGELES – Dr. Dre sued the new iteration of Death Row Records on Thursday claiming the label failed to pay royalties and released a new version of his iconic album "The Chronic" without his permission.

Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, filed the suit in federal court in Los Angeles against WIDEawake Death Row Records and its parent companies.

Young has not been paid royalties on the original "The Chronic" album since he split with Death Row in 1996, the lawsuit states. The label, a one-time powerhouse of rap music artists, eventually fell into bankruptcy but was bought by WIDEawake and re-formed.

Young's lawsuit claims his attorneys notified the new owners that he was owed royalties, but they have never paid him. He also claims the label issued "The Chronic Re-Lit" and a greatest hits collection without his permission or the proper rights.

WIDEawake Death Row Records has also sold digital copies of "The Chronic" without having the proper rights, the lawsuit states. Young's original contract with Death Row didn't include digital distribution rights, according to the suit.

"When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the "new" Death Row Records, to quote our client, 'forgot about Dre,'" Young's attorney Howard King said in a statement. "This lawsuit will make sure they remember."

An after-hours phone message left for Wide Awake was not immediately returned.

Young's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages of more than $75,000 for several claims, including breach of contract, false advertising, trademark infringement and misappropriation of publicity.

"The Chronic" was first released in 1992. Since then, Young has remained a top rap producer working with best-selling artists such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent.

In a couple of weeks, the G-Unit will be heading overseas for an international tour. Come June, the 50 Cent-captained team is scheduled to do something they haven't done in quite some time: tour the United States. Although no dates or other acts have been announced for the bill, Tony Yayo is hoping at least Slim Shady will be on the road with them.





"I'm not sure if Eminem is gonna be a part of the bill," Yayo said recently in New York. "I know 50 wants to go out and do the U.S. tour. It would be an honor if Em came out. Shout to Em, the whole D12, everybody out there.

"My best experience was [the] Anger Management [3 tour] with 50 and Eminem," Yayo added. "They was killing each other on the tour, it was crazy. That was an ill tour. Em comes out, Fif comes out, D12, Proof was still alive — rest in peace to Proof. That's one of the best hype men ever."

While Yayo was fantasizing out loud, he threw another name in the mix. "You know what? I would love to see Eminem, Dre and 50 do a big tour, so I could make millions of dollars," he said. "I'll be a stagehand and work in the back. I wouldn't even care. I know I'll make a million dollars lifting stuff. It's an honor to be in their presence."

Obviously, it would be a huge undertaking to get all these guys on the road together, but Yayo and the fans can dream, can't they?

"With guys like Em and Dre and Fif, these guys got busy schedules," the Queens native said. "Em is working on another album. Fif got about 15 movies; he's working on another movie right now called 'The Gun.' Dre — come on, man, you see them Dr. Dre headphones selling like hot cakes everywhere you go. Those guys are busy guys. I feel blessed I could say that I know Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. A lot of artists beg to do a song with Eminem, beg to do a song with 50 Cent, beg to do a song with Dre — I've experienced all those worlds."

Yayo said that his new album might be called Godfather of the Ghetto, and like Lloyd Banks' next album, he wants to put it out this summer while the Unit are on tour. As for when 50 might release another LP, Tony said Fif isn't focused on that right now.

"50 is like a chameleon," Yayo said. "What I seen from Fif, he's in Will Smith mode; he's shooting movie after movie. I know he's definitely supporting me and Banks' albums."

Kristin Davis better known as "The Manhattan Madam" has some lofty aspirations. The lady who is most well known for being involved in former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's prostitute scandal has decided to run for the job he failed so miserably at.

She will be getting a big helping hand from none other than 50 Cent who according to a report on Boombox.com has offered "some of his G-Unit rap crew to work the phones"

Don't think just because Kristen ran a prostitution ring she doesn't have the brains for the job.

At a Libertarian convention over the weekend where she made the announcement she said.

"I was valedictorian of my high-school class, I worked 10 years in finance. I was vice president of a hedge fund. I went on to build a multimillion-dollar business from scratch."

She is running a "taxation as confiscation" platform, advocating legalized marijuana and prostitution,

Her advisor is Roger Stone, who worked for Reagan, Nixon and both Bushes.
