Slim Thug Says He's Mad He Didn't Impregnate Beyonce

Slim Thug recent hit up his Twitter account to post some rather interesting tweets, one of which involved a personal dream he had regarding Beyonce.  It looks as though the tweet has since been deleted, but Slim Thug actually posted earlier that he wished he had been the one to get with Beyonce and have a baby with her.  It seems rather strange that he would say this so publicly, since Beyonce is happily married to Jay-Z and started a family with him not too long ago.

Mike Epps to Portray Richard Pryor in New Film

Mike Epps will be playing the role of late comedic actor Richard Pryor in an upcoming film about the life of Jazz legend Nina Simone. Epps took the time to personally contact Pryor's widow, Jennifer Pryor, and ask for her blessing, which she was more than happy to give.

"That was very sweet and respectful that he called me first. I am happy that they picked him. He is a real good guy," Jennifer said to TMZ. 

Jennifer Pryor is producing the film, and says because Mike Epps displayed such a respectful gesture she would even consider casting him as Pryor in an upcoming biopic. On the fiip side, one name Jennifer refused to entertain the role was Eddie Murphy, whom she has an unidentified aversion for.

"Having Eddie Murphy play Richard Pryor would be like having Al Jolson play Malcolm X," she stated.

Obama Administration Targets Violent MS-13 Street Gang

MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, is an extremely violent street gang originating from El Salvador which has wreaked havoc in the United States for years. This past Thursday, the Obama administration designated the group as an international criminal group, and now they're looking to crack down on the finances of MS-13.

The Treasury Department officially labeled the street gang as a transnational criminal organization. The overall goal of targeting the violent group is to seize millions of dollars in profits made from distribution of drugs, human smuggling, and other various crimes committed in the U.S.

The gang is comprised of over 10,000 members who stretch across 46 states, expanding far beyond the original U.S. stomping grounds of Los Angeles. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Jason Shatarsky says the brutal nature of the gang has shocked not only law enforcement but rival gangs as well.

"They saw a level of violence that hadn't been seen before," Shatarsky simply said.

The majority of the members of MS-13 all have strong ties to Mexico and the various drug cartels in that country. The Treasury Department is looking to slow down their operations in an attempt to prevent the funneling of money to Mexico. Any member of the gang will be subject to prosecution, according to David S. Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence of the Treasury.
