One step forward and two steps back
Yonkers Hip-Hop star DMX is free after serving over 90 days in jail on drug, fraud, and animal cruelty charges, a representative confirmed with AllHipHop.com. The rapper was released from Tent City, aka the Maricopa County Jail, late yesterday afternoon (May 13).
DMXs conviction and prison sentence was a culmination of a 2008 filled with legal woes. The rappers last arrest resulted in an extradition back to Phoenix after attempting to hide out in producer Scott Storchs Florida mansion.
Originally, DMX, born Earl Simmons, was to serve only 90 days in jail. His tenure was extended when he faced additional charges for allegedly assaulting a corrections officer over a food dispute. During his incarceration, X revealed plans to start a Christian ministry upon his release.
Im gonna start a TV show called Pain and Perseverance, its about how I can reach people that the average person cant reach because Im grounded, he stated. [Click HERE] to read the rest of DMXs statement at Allhiphop.com.

The actor tells Playboy magazine he texted the R&B pin-up and they set up a dinner date: It never got beyond one date. The spark wasnt there. We werent passionate about each other in that way, so we remain friends.

I met him at a not so well known bar in LA back before, well when he was starting to become, a movie star. It was not a celeb hot spot, and me and some of my girls decided to go out for some drinks. Never would I think this guy would be here. It was like RIGHT before that movie Disturbia came out. I was at the bar and he was there with some of his boys. We had some eye contact and when I went to the bar, thats when he came up to me. We talked for awhile, and decided to make out. He is a AMAZING kisser. Ive never been kissed that good in my life! Let me tell you, for a white boy, they dude has some serious SWAGGA and beautiful eyes. Hes got the charisma flowing through his veins. So he asked me to go back to his place with him. Of course I said yes.

The lawsuits in Hip Hop seem to be more common than the flu now-a-days. According to his latest twitter update, Russell Simmons may be preparing to sue the very label he birthed along with Rick Rubin in 1984.
"Can't believe I'm suing defjam," the update reads.
"They are now trying to eat my lunch? Unbelievable bulles..unprecedented stupidity on their part"
No word as to why Simmons is preparing to wage a legal war on the label or as to what exactly he is referring to.
Simmons promptly retracted his statement with another update stating "Oops my lawyers are pissed. I wasn't supposed to tweet dat ," which he has also since deleted
Simmons sold his stake in the record company for $100 million to Universal Music Group in 1999
The Miami rapper also revealed the clothing lines he has helped inspire.
"I would just love to target a big and tall audience," Ross said in an interview. "A lot of times, big dudes can't walk in these stores and get these sizes of the fly sh*t. So I'd love to put something together just for the big guys. I've endorsed one or two fashion lines before for some little dudes in Miami, just showing them love. Luxury Tax, I actually gave [that] name to one of my homeboys from Haiti and helped him out with that. And another one called Foreign Lavish. You never know what the future holds." (Rap-Up)
DJ Smallz recently previewed the Boss' co-signed line, Luxury Tax.
"I know you probably seen the ads," he said in a video clip. "Luxury Tax, Rick Ross new clothing line. Well I just wanted to show you a couple pieces real quick. Luxury Tax sh*t. This sh*t is for ballers only. Different colors, you feel me? Wanna make sure you cop that, make sure you go to DeeperThanRap.com. Get all the Luxury clothing and Rick Ross' album, it's coming real soon." (Smallz TV)
Ross has also expressed his interest in working with the recently released ex-drug kingpin Freeway Ricky Ross.
"I mean most definitely," Ross said regarding a possible business relationship. "You know I'm a business man so any business we could do, you know, it is most definitely something I look forward to doing. I mean a dude that just did a little time he could really reflect on different things, I don't know what kinda business ventures he know but me, we in to films and different things like that. You'll never know what a man is up to. Of course not , [I haven't met him.] But you know I been in the game a few years, shout-out to him, he's doing his thing. Do we have any business together? No we don't, but you know, we both hustlers. So I wish him the best, so you know, that's what I say on that." (Jenny Boom Boom)
The rapper celebrated his third album, Deeper Than Rap, reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 earlier this month.
The rumor mill was ablaze this week with the news that actress Lauren London is five months pregnant with Lil Wayne's baby. TheYBF first broke the news, but no one in either camp would confirm or deny the rumor. Later, New York radio/TV personality Miss Info reported that a reliable source confirmed the rumor. This would be Wanye's third child. He has an 8 year old girl Reginae Carter, and a baby boy Dwayne Michael Carter III born last year.
So I guess congrats are in order for Weezy and Lauren. If it's a boy would he dare name him the Carter IV? Dwayne Michael Carter IV.
However, according to the Associated Press, T.I. may only have to do two months of the year long sentence.
The self-proclaimed "King of the South," who faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge in his three-count indictment, will be credited for 305 days of home detention he already served after being charged, reducing the sentence to 61 days.
Upon his release, Harris will be on probation for three years. He also must pay a $100,000 fine as part of his sentence.
Bolt roared home in 14.35 seconds, smashing the previous best recorded by Italian Pietro Mennea of 14.8 in 1983.
Britain's Marlon Devonish finished a distant second in 15.07 secs.
In the women's race American Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie clocked 16.54 secs to beat Olympic 400m gold medallist Christine Ohuruogu, who ran 17.10 secs.

Maria da Silva allegedly attacked 42-year-old Isaias Saturnino while he was sleeping at their home in north-eastern Brazil.
She then fled the scene and remains on the run, police said.
Saturnino underwent reconstructive surgery and was said to be in good condition, but is expected to stay at least two months in the hospital for observation.
Police official Fabio Gaudencio said Silva's daughter, now a teenager, accused Saturnino of raping her from the age of seven.
Saturnino has not been charged with any offence
T.I. had faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge in his three-count indictment.
Harris will be credited for 305 days of home detention he already has served after being charged, so his stay at the Forrest City prison likely will be only two months.
R.D. Weeks, a spokesman for the prison, said Harris likely would be treated like any other prisoner coming into the facility.
"Unless there are custody or security concerns, all incoming inmates are placed in general population," Weeks told The Associated Press.
Weeks said each cell at the prison is double-bunked. Harris also will have the opportunity to use the recreation yard, as well as take part in counseling or participate in the one of the facilitys 14 religious groups, Week said.
Harris, 28, was arrested after trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents in 2007. That came after Harris best friend was killed following a post-performance party in Cincinnati in 2006. The rapper has said the bullets that killed his friend were meant for him.
Upon his release, Harris will be on probation for three years. He also must pay a $100,000 fine as part of his sentence

However yesterday 876radio.com caught up with the deejay and posed the question to him in an effort to set the record straight. According to the Grants Pen native he's still at a loss has to the origin of the rumours but was swift to deny the allegations and said the lyrics in question were never aimed at the flashy deejay. "Flippa ah mi fren, mi nuh kno nutten bout Flippa ...... a regular mi bruk and deh a farin and a Flippa gimme money" - he added. In the same breath he notified us of his misfortunes that is Passport had been misplaced, hence the reason he's now grounded instead of accompanying Mavado on his current tour of Europe.

Bolt offers tips to Ronaldo at Man United training
Saturday, May 16, 2009
MANCHESTER, England (AP) - The world's fastest man offered running tips to football's world Player of the Year yesterday as Usain Bolt dropped in on a Manchester United training session.
Bolt, the Olympic triple gold medallist and United fan, took the opportunity to advise speedy winger Cristiano Ronaldo how to adjust the running technique that torments defences but often sees him tumble to the ground too easily.
"I explained to him a few things about when he is running and reaches top speed he starts to tip over, he always does that," Bolt said. "I let him know if he brings his foot on the centre of gravity, or even in front of him, it will be much easier. He will be much better and he will go faster for longer.
"Because he's so fast they keep pushing him around, he needs to be more aggressive (and) they will leave him alone. I think Ronaldinho had the same problem. They found he was very skilful and they kind of picked on him a lot. He got more aggressive and they stopped picking on him."
Bolt, who captured the 100- and 200-metre world records at the Beijing Olympics last year, will be able to see if Ronaldo has listened to his advice today.
Bolt will be at Old Trafford as United look to secure the Premier League title by getting at least a draw against Arsenal. The 22-year-old Jamaican will also appear on the pitch at half-time and present the Player of the Year award.
"I want to run on the pitch and score in the net if they let me," Bolt said. "It will be something for me to have pictures of. Who knows, maybe I can be a Man U player in the future!"
Bolt is in Manchester for his first European event of the year tomorrow, a 150-metre street race on a specially constructed track.
