At the young age of seventeen, Stephen McGregor was defined by the music industry and the media as 'Di Genius' and is now dubbed as one of the greatest producers. A son of one of the greatest reggae icons, Freddie McGregor, Stephen wrote his first song at age five while attending Vaz Preparatory entitled School Don Rule. The song, which was about staying in school received airplay both locally and internationally in 1995.

At the age of ten Stephen began to take his music more seriously by going to the studio with his father, who he emulates, as well as by watching the masters around him. He mastered five instruments; the drum, bass, violin, piano and the guitar, and completed his first production Dutch Master, featuring the likes of Fambo, Natural Black and Da'Ville. Since the Dutch Master, Di Genius continued with a positive vibe, making him one of the top producers in Jamaica.

Everybody in Negril is talking about Mavados summons to appear in court on Tuesday in Westmoreland. From what I have been hearing around the edges of conversations is that Mavado was involved in an altercation with a patron at the Jungle nightclub who he allegedly pushed down a flight of stairs injuring said patron. Word is that the police did not arrest him on the spot but instead, he was issued with a summons to appear in Sav-la-Mar on Tuesday to answer to the charges.

I called my linky in the police force but she never knew anything about it and she was also in Negril too. So anyway, tomorrow mi will give you some more information, but what can I say, Negril sell off, ABENA to the world, I am having a real fab time here, seven miles of white sand beach and all that.

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, 71, was seriously injured in a car accident late Sunday night in Mississippi, a spokesperson for the Mississippi Highway Patrol told CNN.

Freeman was driving on Highway 32 with an unidentified female passenger, near Ruleville, Mississippi, when his car swerved from the road and flipped several times at 11:30 on Sunday night, according to the report; he was then airlifted to Regional Medical Center in Memphis. A hospital spokesperson said that the actor has been listed in critical condition, but police told The Associated Press that he was talking before being taken to the hospital. TMZ reported that Freeman broke several ribs and injured his knee; the condition of his passenger had not been announced at press time.

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," Clay McFerrin of Charleston, Mississippi's Sun Sentinel told AP. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

McFerrin arrived to the scene of the accident not long after it occurred and said bystanders were trying to get a look at the actor. When one fan tried to take a photo of the actor, he said Freeman quipped, "No freebies, no freebies!"

Freeman lives on a ranch in Mississippi with his wife, Myrna.

The actor, plays Lucius Fox in the summer blockbuster "Dark Knight." The film is currently in its third week at #1, racking in $394.9 million domestically.

I think the answer to that is  Assassin

Let mi hear ur picks. If u disagree with my answer name a song that he sang that was crap.

Booked for this weekends St.Mary Mi Come From concert, Nesbeth is feeling pretty good about the direction his career has been heading in recent months, especially now that his recent single Gunz Out is now at #25 on the New York reggae charts.

I am looking forward to Capletons show, the Babymother tune on the Drop It riddim ah go hard too, mi ah get some good feedback, the ting gone to a different level right now, the singer said.

He also performed recently on Fully Loaded at Fort Clarence Beach, a charity concert for the disabled in Portmore, and Weddy Weddy anniversary at Stone Love HQ.

Mi just a go keep working till mi achieve all my goalsthe people are responding to what is going on and that encourages me to just keep on doing my thing, he said.

The Dallas/Fort Worth airport has a new vending machine to go with the Coca-cola cans and Kit Kat bars, only a purchase would likely require more than 400 quarters(or a credit card). Best Buy has put in Best Buy Express machines that will dispense a variety of gadgets for the consumer on the go.
A fast and easy way to spend hundreds of dollars means Best Buy will be raking in the money from these machines, especially from parents who forgot to get their kids a present while they were away.

Based on the assessment of people in the streets, the second live show of the Digicel Rising Stars competition last Sunday Night was a complete dud.

The Courtleigh Auditorium was the venue where the second set of nine contestants faced off with hopes of taking one of the five remaining spots in this seasons coveted top 10.

Most of the performances were below par and those that made the grade were merely as safe and forgettable. The evenings performances were truly mediocre, but we can only say that  at the risk of grievously understating the awfulness of the nights performances. In fact, maybe a whole new vocabulary needs to be invented to express just how disappointing it was. Because to say that this years slate of Rising Star contestants are ordinary is merely to affirm the obvious.

The acerbic judge Anthony Miller was at his witty best, eviscerating the contestants with relative ease. Kahlil was one of the few to escape his rapier wit, using a c****ination of creativity and talent, to wow the packed Courtleigh auditorium. The reggae medley had Judge Anthony Miller declaring, Finally, some electricity while judge Clyde McKenzie, normally vanilla in his comments,  lauded the group by saying: Youve shown that there is strength in numbers. You were fabulous.

Wayne Williams, who completed his performance of Missing You, a popular song by reggae artiste Sanchez, generated loud applause from the crowd, but got snubbed for his efforts by Miller who intoned that the performance was done fpr cheap success. The ebullient Nadine Sutherland disagreed gushing: Wayne youre a star; youve got that special charisma that the audience feels.

The Sony Ericsson Chill Room was also a favourite for the crowd, as host Kerrie-Ann Kiki Lewis and DJ Flamez interacted with the contestants, while they rocked to some of the hottest songs on the local and international entertainment scene. Constable Leisha Rose b****ed with a rendition of Etanas I Am Not Afraid, and McKenzie used his dry wit commenting that it was reassuring to know that the police are not afraid and added that he was not going to throw the book at her because her performance was a misdemeanour.

Even Top Team, a deejay/singer duo, had the crowd rocking at one point only to be shot down in a heap of smoldering metal by Miller who said: you have lots of vibes, you just didnt sound good. Other contestants such as Daniel Palmer and Sheri-Ann (insert last name here) were merely forgettable. One contestant massacred the Polices Every Step I Take in a performance that was innocent of melody. Were just hoping that it doesnt get any worse than this.

On Friday Night, the outcome of the publics votes will be made known when the top five contestants were revealed during the result show on TVJ at 8pm. Sunday nights performance show will feature the top 10 contestants of the 2008 season.

Catch repeats of tonights show on Wednesday at 10am and Thursday at 10:30pm.

Kanye West, Ludacris, 50 Cent Congratulate Lil Wayne On Tha Carter III's Success

'Bow in the presence of a true living legend in hip-hop,' Kanye says of Weezy's million-plus sales.

By Shaheem Reid

They used to just talk about his songs now hip-hop's biggest stars are talking about his numbers too.

Lil Wayne's peers are publicly recognizing how great a feat it was for the New Orleans native to move over a million units of his Tha Carter III in the first week.

"Congrats to my homie, Wayne," Kanye West, who produced on the album, posted on his blog Tuesday. "I'm happy to know this guy! Bow in the presence of a true living legend in hip-hop. Lil Wayne the God!"

On Thursday (June 19), while calling in to New York radio station Hot 97, 50 Cent who was the last artist before Wayne to sell a million copies in first week of release with 2005's The Massacre labeled Tha Carter III's debut "amazing."

"I think I'm really confused," 50 added. "I think all I need to do is make good music and see what happens. Usher had a #1 record across the board, and he only sold over 400,000. Then Wayne comes and does those numbers. ... I don't understand what the connection is. What audience is going out to buy it?"

While in Atlanta, Ludacris told MTV News that Wayne's success was hard-earned. "Wayne's been in the game a long time," said 'Cris, while sitting in the studio with DJ Drama. "I've done records with him. Apart from everything else that's going on, it's well-deserved. Wayne, congratulations. You worked hard for that's sh--, and you deserve it."

A Luda and Wayne collaboration was originally slated to be on Tha Carter III and may still find a home elsewhere. "I know he has a million songs, but we're still trying to find a placement for this song me and Lil Wayne did," Luda said.

Why Caribbean men don't want to support their youths By: Rootzgirl Rasta-Girl-Posters.jpgI have a very important question to ask and I am not bashing anyone right now...but seriously why is it that Caribbean baby mothers are having a hard time getting support for their kids? You were having a nice time with the man, he treats you fine ...everything is dandy and then the woman gets pregnant...but then for whatever reason he messed up, you mess up...who knows...at the end of the day the relationship is over. The sad thing is that the man forgot he broke up with you...and not the child in question and to add insult to injury he will only take care of the child if you are still in the mix. One woman who was involved with a man from the Caribbean vented her frustrations to YardFlex, "Him teck di madda fat and a fry di pickney dem. Him damn well and know and understand the psychological part of it...sometime a feel so emotional imbalanced especially as is more dan one me have to look after." On the flip side of the coin, some mothers are now ignoring their children and mistreating them just because the man is no longer around. It's even worse when the kids come out 'dead stamp' of the father, the ill treatment is multiplied then! But credit must be given to the strong sisters out there who in those cases become both the mother and the father for their kids giving them a balanced environment, nurturing and bringing them up the best way they know how with the result being the children are even more balanced than those coming from two parents home. At the end of the day, I just have to say that some of these fathers just need to be more conscientious about handling these situations. It doesn't matter if the relationship has gone sour, the responsibilities are still there. Spend quality time with your children and take good care of them. The same goes for the mothers, it's not about the man it's about that child you brought into the world, stop taking out your anger and frustration on an innocent victim.

That is the question that will be answered this weekend as dancehall arch rivals Beenie and Bounty square off in Montego Bay, St. James well, sort of.

The dancehall icons are both headliners on competing stage shows in the municipality. Beenie headlines the Kings of Kings Unite the People show alongside Shaggy, Vybz Kartel, Ninjaman, and Bushman at the Montpelier showground while Bounty Killer is the marquis act at the Sonny Ranking promotion, Star Jam 2K7 at the Aquasol complex, alongside red-hot Mavado, Wayne Marshall, Aidonia, Bling Dawg and the Merital family.

The show effectively splits the traditional dancehall stage show crowed and may result in a loss for one of the promoters. Which one it will be depends on the pulling power of the deejays involved?

Beenie Man, a superb entertainer with infinite skills, has always been a showstopper and major crowd puller over his career. However, he has been on the decline in recent times because of his un-Beenie Man like choices cutting ties and threatening former songwriter, the affable Don Mafia and giving abrasive television interviews where he comes off like a shallow, bling-obsessed cad who is fast and loose with the truth.

In the meantime, Bounty Killers stocks are on the rise with his dancehall hit, Bulletproof Vest and he has been able to feed off the energies of his protégé Mavado whose singles, including Last Night which is at #2 on the Richie B charts, are all the rage in the dancehall.

Ultimately, as with any stage show, it is the women who will decide which stage show sells off, and if Vybz Kartel, whose Beyonce Wine number one hit and Wine Pon You songs are big in the dancehall, shows up at Unite the People, it could well swing the pendulum over to Montpelier showground. Advantage: Kings of Kings.

What do you think? Which stage show is going to sell off this weekend? And who will have bragging rights? Beenie or Bounty?

The body of a man was found yesterday with nine gunshot wounds at an unfinished house owned by popular deejay, Bounty Killer, in Norbrook, Kingston 8.

THE WEEKEND STAR was told that at 6 p.m. on Monday, residents reported hearing explosions. At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, the body, with several gunshot wounds to the head, jaw, back and arms, was discovered by someone who went to the premises to collect items.

Though no one has come forward to identify the body, the police believe he is Devon Williams, a businessman of a Patrick Gardens address. He is believed to be about 32 years old. Williams was dressed in a grey T-shirt, grey jeans and brown shoes

When contacted yesterday, operations officer for the St Andrew North division, Deputy Superintendent Carol McKenzie, told THE WEEKEND STAR that the popular deejay, whose real name is Rodney Price, was not a suspect in the investigations.

Not a suspect

"... We are in the process of investigations and he may be questioned, but he really is not a suspect," DSP McKenzie said, before explaining, "All we will probably need from Bounty is just a statement saying that it is his home but he doesn't know the dead man."

When contacted, Julian Jones-Griffiths, Bounty Killer's manager, said he knew nothing about the incident, and that the deejay was off the island and would not be returning until next week.

He beats her for anal sex - Now she's a lesbian mr_proppafix_logo.jpg Dear Mr. Proppa Fix I am a 19 year old Jamaican born young lady, who currently resides in Miami. I am what you might consider to be attractive as I have a light complexion, with long hair and a coco cola bottle shape. As a result of this, I never had a problem with getting attention from guys ever since I developed. To make matters worse, my body developed early, and I noticed that all the boys in my neighborhood and even my fathers friends started to give me more attention. Even though a lot of boys liked me, I tried to keep my intimate boyfriends to a minimal because I didnt want people to view me as a b*tch. No matter how I tried, all the guys that I dated all turned out to be dogs. I always tried to be faithful to them and nine out of ten times they either cheat or start to act up on me. My worse relationship was with this married guy that was a bit older than me and was very abusive and sexually perverted. He wanted to experience me from the back door (Butt) - all kinds of sh*t and he would beat me if I didnt comply with his wishes. After leaving him, I sort of began to give up on men totally because I have had so many bad experiences it just didnt make sense to be with them. I would settle for a one night stand whenever I got the urge, but I found that I needed more in terms of comfort and security. This is where my problems really begun - my best friend is a bisexual female and ever since we have been friends; she has been trying to convince me to have sex with her. I used to say no, but ever since my bad experience with the married man, the idea of giving up men totally has become more attractive. One night we were home alone and she begged me to let her make me have an orgasm and to be honest with you, when she licked my p*ssy I felt like I was in another galaxy. ReadMore-color.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ tempted%20flyer%20front.jpg Since that time, I have found that I want nothing to do with men because women have become more and more appealing to me. My best friend and I now live together and we cant get enough of each other. At times I really wonder if what I am doing is right and I know if my family, particularly - if my parents ever have the slightest idea of my new love, they would disown me. Mr. Proppa Fix I am really confused at this time because I am not getting any younger and at some point my family will get suspicious as to why I never talk about any male partners and why I never talk about marriage or kids. Do you think I should give up on men completely and become a full time lesbian? I desperately await your advice, -R.C. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear R.C. You seem to be somebody that lacked guidance during your teenage years when it matters the most. There are certain things that your parents should have talked to you about and I really dont think that this was done. Issues like sexuality and morality should have been dealt with within the household. I must say, however that your situation is not uncommon, so do not feel like you are alone. There are many people out there that are going through the same kind of confusion. I have told many people who have come to my counseling sessions with relationship problems that the reason why they cannot find a good partner is entirely to do with them. You need to do some self examination to determine what it was that you were doing to attract all the dogs, whether it may be how you dress, how you behave in public or even the places you go and the company you keep. How can you possibly complain for what the married man did to you? Entering into a relationship with him is a clear indication that you dont value yourself, so how could he value you? That is why he treated you like a sex slave. I really think that your issues run much deeper than what you have written in this letter and it is impossible to help you fully through the internet. I think that the best thing for you to do is to get some counseling / therapy so that you can learn to love and respect yourself and hopefully find your identity as a person. Personally I do not agree with homosexuality for religious and moral reasons so I honestly think that if you get some counseling it would make it a lot easier for you to find the right man. That is my advice young lady - tek it or leave it.

YES IS HERE MI FIST BUSS MI THINGS AND THE RECEPTION MI GET WAS GD I GOT GD COMMENTS ON SUM BAD ONES BUT I USED THOSE BAD ONE TO HELP MI SEE MY MISTAKES AND STUFF LIKE THE  WID SKULLs wid kanye glasses ...""STAIN DID SEH A RUBBISH"" BUT MI NEVA MIND DAT MI JUS DID MA THING AND NOW MI CAN DESIGN QUALITY WALLPAPERS ALBUM COVERS AND CAN RETOUCH PROBLY AS GUD AS ANDRE I THANK ANDRE ALSO FA DI LITLE ADVICE HE GIVES GLITCH ALSO EVEN RIDDIM DADDY...PENGO DI BOSS FI SURE CAUSE A HIM SEN ME CS3 OVA DI YAHO BLESSINGS YUTE...RESPECT TO SHEM FA GETTING ME SUM STUFF...MAGIC ONE THE BOSS HAIL..AND DIGITAL WIZ OF COURSE WHO HAS HELP ME IMPROVE MI SKILLZ I NEVER THOUGHT I WUD REACH...BUT I WUD ALSO THANK THE ZONE ALSO THE PPL FA GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE TO DO THIS IF I MAKE IT OR NOT ON THING FA SURE MI ALWAY WILL REMMEBER THE ZONE AND THE LIKKLE FIGHT WEH GWAN IN YA AND DI HOT INTERNET f*k SUM GYAL GET ...ON THING FA SURE MHAAAAD ZONE TO THE WORL

Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies. 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Lesson 2: A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.' Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Lesson 3: A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Lesson 4 An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. Lesson 5 A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.. Lesson 6 A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Morals of the story: (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. (3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut! THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE

The self-proclaimed greatest of all time LL Cool J spoke recently about the quality of his music in recent years, among other topics. On his body of work: "Have I ever made a garbage album? Yes. But you know what, when you make 13 albums, it's pretty hard not to make a couple....3, 4, 5... pieces of shit! If it's not, who else is doin' it? It's pretty hard not to make some bullshit. If it's 10 records an album, that's 130 records released to the public...it's pretty hard not to make some garbage in there. You can't make any shot."

On Jay-Z and Def Jam: "All I want them to do is promote my records. I'm not interested at going at nobody. If I could double Jay-Z's success right now and snap my fingers, why not? I could care less, because you know why? Like my grandmother said, what he eat don't make me shit...one way or another, if he does well, he ain't gonna call me up and give me a steak, and if he doesn't do well, he ain't gonna call me and ask me for a steak."

On his upcoming album and level of effort: "The album is serious; it's called Exit 13. I remember where I came from, and basically what I'm doing is taking it back to my roots. You know, back to the cats in the barbershop for that one guy who's been arguing about me for years...what people don't know is that sometimes when I make albums I just coast, and I'm just being creative and artistic...everything you hear me say on the mic is not always me trying to be the best emcee. People think that everything that comes out of your mouth is your most potent lyrical effort."

i say it's garbage..............but i like tracks  1 2 3 and then 12,13,14,15

NY Police Beating Caught On Camera
An amateur video showing a New York police officer beating a man with a baton raises questions about police brutality.

Child raped at hospital

NEW YORK - A 12-year-old girl is relatively unscathed after falling 180 feet down a New York City chimney.

Authorities say a 2-foot pile of soot and dust cushioned her fall, though both her legs were broken.

The girl apparently climbed into the chimney Thursday night while playing on the roof of a building in Manhattan. Rescuers found her at the chimney's base in a boiler room.

Fire Lt. Simon Ressner says rescuers hadn't expected to find her alive and were stunned when she reached her hand out for help.

CHICAGO (AP)A 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card was sold for $1.62 million at a memorabilia auction in Chicago, a sports auction company said Saturday.

The record price for a baseball card is $2.8 millionpaid in 2007 for a near-mint condition Wagner card released in 1909 by the American Tobacco Company.

John Rogers, 35, of North Little Rock, Ark., said his winning bid for the T206 Wagner card is the realization of a decades-long dream.

I call this the holy grail of baseball cards, Rogers said in a phone interview. Ive looked at a number of other specimens, sat in a few other Wagner auctions. But this is the one that makes collecting worth while.

Rogers has collected baseball cards since he was 6. When he was in the second grade, he said he cut out a copy of a Wagner card and carried it around in his pocket.

Since I was 8 years old, Ive hoped and dreamed that one day Id be able to get one, Rogers said.

Bidders at the Friday night auction also spent $42,000 on Ken Griffey, Jr.s 600th home run ball and $240,000 for a 1938 Lou Gehrig Yankees road jersey, said Doug Allen, Mastro Auctions chief operating officer.

The T206 cards are from a series issued between 1909 and 1911. Allen said the card was in excellent condition, and said the next highest bid, $1.3 million, was placed on behalf of a client who wished to remain anonymous.

Wagners card was among the first of hundreds of cards of major league players produced by the American Tobacco Co. and included in packages of cigarettes.

Unlike other players, however, Wagner quickly demanded that his card be withdrawn. Theories vary as to why, with one being that he didnt believe American Tobacco paid him enough.

A nonsmoker, the Pittsburgh shortstop was arguably the second-greatest baseball player of his era, behind Ty Cobb. Wagner hit .344 during his rookie year of 1897, and batted over .300 for 17 consecutive seasons, winning eight National League batting titles.

One of the first five players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Wagner retired in 1917 with more hits, runs, RBIs, doubles, triples and steals than any NL player.

There are fewer than 100 Wagner baseball cards in existence, said Julie Stoklosa, a spokeswoman for Mastro Auctions, and less than ten are in excellent condition.

Allen said even the lowest graded Wagner baseball cards can fetch more than $150,000.

The mystique and allure of the T206 Wagner card continues to grow, Allen said.

Among the previous owners of the card sold in 2007 were hockey great Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall, former owner of the Los Angeles Kings, who paid $451,000 for it in 1991.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Batman narrowly fended off the new "Mummy" sequel to lead the weekend box office in North America for a third weekend, while moviegoers rejected Kevin Costner's new political comedy "Swing Vote."

"The Dark Knight" earned $43.8 million for the three days beginning Friday, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said on Sunday. Universal's "The Mummy: T**** of the Dragon Emperor" followed with $42.5 million.

Walt Disney Co's "Swing Vote" came in at No. 6 with just $6.3 million, the latest disappointment for Costner, who has not had a $100 million movie since 1992's "The Bodyguard."

The total for "The Dark Knight" rose to $394.9 million. Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc, said it expects the film to add at least $100 million, likely becoming the No. 2 movie of all time in North America. "Titanic" holds the record with $601 million, ahead of 1977's "Star Wars" and its two reissues with $461 million.

"The Mummy: T**** of the Dragon Emperor" came in below pundits' forecasts of an opening in the $50 million range, bruised by the Batman juggernaut. The Brendan Fraser film actually beat "The Dark Knight" on Friday but the reigning champ bounced back on the next two days. (The Sunday component of the data is an estimate; final data will be issued on Monday.)

Universal, a unit of General Electric Co, said "The Mummy" was big internationally. The film, set in China and co-starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, opened to $59.5 million from 28 territories.

Fraser has had a low profile since appearing as part of the ensemble in the Oscar-winning 2004 movie "Crash." But he now has two movies in the top 5, with "Journey to the Center of the Earth" at No. 5 with a four-week total of $73.1 million.

Where men have a tendency to drive expensive or high-horsepower cars, women trend the other way.
In a new study by Forbes Autos, women tend to look at smaller, more efficient vehicles than men do.
The cars that have the highest percentage female-primary drivers are some of the smallest, least expensive and most fuel-efficient cars on the market. Topping the list is the Honda Fit. About 80 percent of Fit cars are driven primarily by women.
"There is a significant amount of overlap between what women and men want in car design," Tim Greig, interior design manager for General Motors Global Design told Forbes. "What I've noticed in our market research, however, is that women tend to not only see the big picture but pay close attention to the details as well."
Brigid OKane, a design professor and coordinator of the Transportation Design Track program at the University of Cincinnati, told Forbes that women tend to be more open-minded toward smaller vehicles than men.
Women might be more inclined than men to buy smaller vehicles, but many prefer large models. Three sport utility vehicles made our list that takes into account both luxury and non-luxury vehicles: the Honda Pilot, the Mazdas CX-7 in eighth and the wagon-like Chrysler Pacifica.
"Women are looking for practicality and versatility," Alexander Edwards, automotive division president at consulting firm Strategic Vision, told Forbes.

1. Honda Fit, 80.46 percent female drivers
2. Kia Spectra, 66.48 percent
3. Hyundai Elantra, 64.28 percent
4. Toyota Yaris, 61.86 percent
5. Nissan Versa, 60.58 percent
6. BMW Z4, 60.31 percent
7. Honda Pilot, 60.28 percent
8. Mazda CX-7, 60.19 percent
9. Hyundai Tiburon, 60.18 percent
10. Chrysler Pacifica, 59.81 percent

Senior cop jailed - Harry 'Bungles' Daley arrested on corruption charges


One of the island's best-known crime fighters, Super-intendent Harry Daley, spent last night behind bars at the Horizon Remand Centre and could spend many more days in custody if he is found guilty of corruption charges.

Daley, dubbed 'Bungles' on the streets, was taken into custody yesterday and charged with breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act.

He was taken to the Horizon facility where he spent the night being guarded by a team of soldiers.

Since the start of this year when a major clampdown began, more than 50 members of the force have been charged with breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act.

But Daley, a tough street cop who made his reputation in problem areas such as west Kingston and Spanish Town, St Catherine, is the most senior.

According to the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN), members of the Anti-Corruption Branch conducted a covert sting operation in downtown Kingston yesterday and arrested Daley.

However, CCN did not provide any details of the operation or the actions which led to Daley's arrest.

CCN reported that the head of the Anti-Corruption Branch, Assistant Commissioner Justin Felice, has said the investigation was ongoing and no further comment would be made.

Felice was equally terse when he spoke with The Gleaner, refusing to add anything to the two-paragraph release from the communication unit.

Receiving marked money

But sources close to the investigation claim Daley was held after he was seen receiving money which had been marked and recorded by the police yesterday.

This did not seem to impress his attorney, Valerie Neita-Robertson, who argued that there was a grand set-up.

Neita-Robertson expressed concern about the treatment being meted out to her client, who is a senior member of the police force. She said up to late yesterday, she was still trying to find out the allegations against Daley.

"We are really concerned that we don't know what the allegations are against our client and I am even more concerned about it because a statement was issued to the media by ACP Felice even before we had been told what the matter is about," she said.

Head of the Police Officers' Association, Superintendent Michael James, was cautious with his comments.

James said the association, which represents members of the force above the rank of inspector, was awaiting additional information on the arrest of one of its members.

As horrified travelers watched, a Greyhound Canada bus passenger repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated a young man who was sitting and sleeping beside him, a witness said Thursday.

"There was a blo*o*dcurdling scream. I was just reading my book, and all of a sudden, I heard it," Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of the two men, said of the Wednesday night incident west of Portage la Prairie in Manitoba.

"It was like something between a dog howling and a baby crying, I guess you could say," Caton said. "I don't think it will leave me for a while."

Passengers exited the bus, and a trucker who stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to several of them so they could keep the suspect on the bus until police came, witnesses told Canadian TV.

The suspect was seized with the help of negotiators, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell said. Watch Colwell discuss the case »

He said no formal charges had been filed, and he declined to identify either the man in custody or the victim, who were among 34 passengers.

The was no immediate indication of what prompted the attack, Colwell said. He said he didn't know how many times the victim was stabbed. Witnesses described the weapon as a large butcher-type knife.

Caton told The Associated Press that the victim appeared to be about 19 years old and had gotten on the bus in Edmonton.

Colwell praised the "extraordinary" level-headedness and bravery of the bus driver and passengers.

"What you saw and what you experienced would shake the most seasoned police officer. And yet I'm told that each of you acted swiftly, calmly and bravely," Colwell said. "As a result, no one else was injured."

The police received a call reporting the attack at 8:30 p.m. By the time they arrived at the scene, everyone except the knife-wielder and his victim had left the bus, Colwell said. The incident ended about 1:30 a.m.

The bus was traveling along the Trans-Canada Highway from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was about 45 minutes from its destination when the attack occurred, Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said in Dallas, Texas.

Caton said the victim was sleeping with his head leaning against the window when the attack happened. Caton said he shouted at the other passengers, many of whom also were sleeping, to leave. Watch Caton describe what he saw »

"Everybody got off the bus. Me and a trucker that stopped and the Greyhound driver ran up to the door to maybe see if the guy was still alive or we could help or something like that," Caton said.

"And when we all got up, we saw that the guy was cutting off the guy's head. ... When he saw us, he came back to the front of the bus, told the driver to shut the door. He pressed the button and the door shut, but it didn't shut in time, and the guy was able to get his knife out and take a swipe at us," Caton said.

Caton told the AP that the attacker didn't sit near the victim when he first got on the bus, about an hour before the attack.

"He sat in the front at first; everything was normal," Caton said. "We went to the next stop, and he got off and had a smoke with another young lady there. When he got on the bus again, he came to the back near where I was sitting. He put his bags in the overhead compartment. He didn't say a word to anybody. He seemed totally normal."

Half an hour later, the attack began, Caton told the AP. "There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot, stabbing the guy."

The incident occurred on the first of two Greyhound Canada buses that were traveling together, Wambaugh said. The bus was carrying 37 passengers. As many passengers as possible among those not directly involved in the incident were transferred to the second bus, she said.

Others were taken to a hotel in Brandon, where they were met by Greyhound managers and police, Wambaugh said.

Once they are released, Greyhound will take them by bus to Winnipeg, and "we will do whatever is required to help them, and that includes counseling," she added.

 

A senior investigator, with the Jamaica Constabulary Force, who wishes to remain anonymous, has reported that Jamaican children, as young as three years, are being taught to smoke marijuana, consume alcohol and use firearms as part of their training for a life of crime.

The senior investigator, with more than 20 years experience in law enforcement, said that the child criminal has no emotion, no soul, no fear, no feelings, or sense of reasoning, they only know how to be criminals.

This sentiment was supported not only by police statistics, but by Dr. Henley Morgan, head of the innercity project, Caribbean Applied Technology, in Trench Town. He said that these children are "...predisposed to crime and violence. Shaped from the w****..."

Society has lost its morals' Teino Evans, Entertainment Coordinator Mavado and Bounty Killer performing together at Violence Prevention in School campaign in 2006. - File Despite having done more than his share of violent lyrics, a more mature Bounty Killer says artistes should seek to be better role models, as society is losing its morals. "When mi hear Kartel song, bout him mus guh a hell, him nuh know God, him cannot be a successful man in dis worl fa long. Him don't know wha him a do, yuh cyan play wid God word, cyan play wid God name.

He added, "Dem ting dey whe yuh a instil inna di people dem is bad. A dat mi a tell yuh bout some artiste bo' yah, dem do any ting fi mek a dolla." Higher road Bounty says he is taking the higher road as an artiste because society has lost its morals. "Nuh morals nuh dey again.

Ca' di tings whe yuh haffi guh sey fi please dem immoral people yah, yuh cyan sey it, yuh haffi guh soun like Kartel dem, an me cyan sound like dem people deh, mi haffi sound like one a di wise one.

It nuh woulda escalate inna a time b****?" Responsible Bounty says artistes need to be more responsible in the kind of messages they are sending. "Di res a artiste dem out deh nuh tink bout dat? Yuh tink Vybz Kartel an dem care bout dat? A dem belly dem a tink bout an how much money dem can mek. Yuh tink dem care bout di culture or care bout di future or di youts dem a tomorrow?" Bounty says artistes should also play their part in the fight against crime and violence. "Wha we can do is speak out against these activities and behaviour, mek dem (fans) know sey musical art and musical expression is different from my personal expression, an I don't support these behaviour an these vigilante killing an violence," he said. "Dem (fans) love wi an dem rate wi, but dem hear wi sing certain tings, suh sometimes it mislead dem an mek dem tink sey wi all right wid dem ting yah ... All we can do is jus mek dem know sey me don't support these tings an wi don't look up to unnu when unnu do dem sum'n yah, an it nuh look good an unnu nuh have no good future." Bounty says artistes like Mavado who are hot now, he has encouraged to tone down his violent lyrics. "I've been telling him (Mavado) dat since di last few months an him been doing it now.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The man convicted of killing a 4-month-old boy he called his son was given on Thursday the harshest possible sentence for his crime -- 30 years in prison.

Last month, Adrian Smith was on trial for second-degree murder in the boy's death. On June 27, a jury found him guilty on a lesser charge of manslaughter for the death of Adrian Smith Jr.

The child was not Smith's biological son, but he called the boy his own.

In February 2006, Smith rushed the child to Wolfson Children's Hospital because the baby wasn't breathing. After the boy's death, doctors found a baby wipe stuck in his throat.

Prosecutors said Smith shoved the wipe down the boy's throat in a fit of anger, and the jury agreed, though it only convicted him of manslaughter.

"I just hope that he really finds God while he's in prison," one of the child's family members said at Smith's sentencing hearing.

Family members of the young victim told the judge that Smith deserved the maximum sentence.

Among those testifying was the child's mother, Donneka Steadman, who was in jail the day her son died in while in Smith's care.

Once the child's family was done speaking, it didn't take long for Judge Hugh Carrithers to hand Smith the harshest possible sentence -- 30 years as a habitual offender with a minimum mandatory 15 years because of his previous time in prison.

Smith has eight previous felony convictions.

"He haven't showed no emotions in the court at all to me, period, none, zero, not even when he got his sentence," Steadman said after the hearing.

She told Channel 4 she still couldn't understand why Smith had not apologized to her or the court for her son's death.

"It does help to know that that justice have been served. No matter what anybody else thinks, I feel in my heart and God knows that justice has been served, but he's still got to answer to the man up above," Steadman said.

She also said she forgives Smith.

"Police on Thursday accused a Brazilian man of killing and dismembering his 17-year-old British girlfriend, taking pictures of her body parts with his cell phone and stuffing her torso in a suitcase."

The never ending saga of the Diplomats internal struggles continue. Depending on who you ask, either everything is all good or the crew is in shambles. Although the future of the Dip Set is only known by those within the unit, the recent news of Cam'ron selling Juelz Santana's contract to Def Jam certainly have cast a cloud over the collective.

According to Miss Info's blog, the deal is in fact a reality and the video message sent out by the Best of Both Offices about Juelz returning means much more than originally perceived.

Miss Info asked Juelz via email about his move to Def Jam and Juelz responded with his own email that Info posted on her site.

"A! Whats good !! Yeah, Im free!! And ready to do me!! But its still Dip Set 4 life!! Its just going to be a new chapter!!" he stated. Although he said that it was "still Dip Set 4 life," he followed by addressing his relationship with Killa Cam.

"I have no hard feeling for Cam, after all, he did give me a chance!!! But I will say this I was loyal to him and he took advantage."

What Santana exactly means by "took advantage" is unclear but it does show that the Dip Set still has internal issues with Cam. In the meanwhile, Juelz discussed his immediate future.

"Mixtape coming up soon, my solo mixtape ('the Reagan Era')," he revealed

"I have a joint venture with Def Jam, a 50/50 deal," he continued. "Yeah, its a new boss in town. Album is called Born to Lose, Built to Win!!!! (The rise of the skullgang)."

Using little more than book knowledge, experience from previous projects, and a healthy shot of elbow grease, a Kenyan kid has constructed a nifty (and perhaps just a little scary) box that attaches to your car to provide a number of unique remote-control features that you're not going to find on your average OnStar setup. The flagship function seems to be the real-time lockout, which can call you as the car is being started; only if you confirm that it's not some baddie trying to jack your ride will the ignition request be granted.

That's not all, though -- it'll also let you dial into the car and listen in on any conversations going on within. The young man says he's seeking additional funding to take his project to the next level, but in the meantime, don't even think about making off with a white Mitsubishi the next time you're in M****asa.

Stepdad denies sexual allegations

A man accused of performing oral sex on his stepdaughter denied the allegations when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

Allegations are that the complainant, who was sleeping in her bed, was awakened by a tingling feeling in her vagina. She woke up and saw the head of the 30-year-old accused on her vagina. She shouted at the accused and he allegedly ran from the room.

The attorney of the accused said that he denied all allegations and said that the charges were stemming from conflict in the household.

The Crown told the court that the 17-year-old complainant had told her mother that a similar incident had taken place prior to this charge.

Senior RM Glen Brown granted the accused $50,000 bail with surety to return on August 25. A condition of the bail of the accused is that he cannot reside at the same premises as the complainant.
