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.
What are your thoughts about Mike Epps playing Richard Pryor?

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.

Illegal Booty Shots Leave Woman Limbless

Teased by family and friends about her flat backside, Apryl Michelle Brown had been very insecure.
Once Apryl had enough money, she told herself she would buy herself a better one. Apryl said, "I didn't know if I wanted to look like Janet Jackson or J. Lo...I just wanted a new, bigger booty."
Unfortunately, her quest for curves cost her all her limbs and almost took her life. In 2004, Apryl says she paid a "pumper," an unlicensed person, to inject silicone into her backside.
Brown can't recall how much she paid - maybe $500, maybe $1,000 - but over time, she says, the area became intensely irritated and painful, and her skin blackened. By early 2006 the silicone hardened, which caused severe pain and infection, ultimately requiring her to have amputation of her limbs.
Apryl told ESSENCE, "I was left here for a purpose... I have to get the word out so that nobody else makes this choice."
Check out how illegal injections damaged her limbs above.

Nelly Speaks Publicly On His Tour Bus Drug Bust

Nelly spoke publicly for the first time on the drug bust which involved his tour bus last week. Police found heroin and weapons, but the rapper claims he didn't know about any of it.
Nelly was in Atlanta recently to visit his boo Ashanti for her birthday and he found time to stop by V-103 for an interview with Kenny Burns. He explained to the station what happened following his bus getting pulled over.
"Certain stuff we can say and certain stuff you can't say until at that is cleared," said Nelly. "We got pulled over and things were noticed as far as K-9 abilities and things went in stages from there. It was kind of wild...When they asked, 'Whose is this', I can tell you who it ain't."
The area they were apprehended in has long been a dangerous spot for celebrities . Sierra Blanca, Texas police officers have caught several other celebs with illegal substances, including Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, and Fiona Apple.
"It ain't a good spot to come through with anything you ain't supposed to have," said Nelly. "Everything happened so fast. It's one of those situations where you're squinting your eyes like, is this really happening? There was no way I would jeopardize what Nelly has built for the last 14-15 years being in the situation I was accused."

"Cops Find Loads Of Drugs & Firearm On Nelly's Tour Bus"

Oh man, things just got real serious.  Veteran rapper Nelly has just become the latest hip hop artist to be arrested with drugs and a gun on his tour bus.  However, this situation is a little more serious than was the case with Lil Wayne years ago.  TMZ reported on the unfortunate arrest.
According to various law enforcement sources, Nelly's tour bus was halted at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca.  A police canine was on the presence and caught a whiff of the drugs inside of Nelly's tour bus.  The police had Nelly and his associates vacate the vehicle so that they could conduct a search, and as a result, police officials discovered TEN POUNDS of marijuana that was being held inside of a massive green duffel bag.  To add to the stress, cops also found...get ready for it...36 small baggies of HEROIN (total of .64 ounces).  
Unfortunately for Nelly, that's still not all that the police found. On top of the 10 pounds of marijuana, and 36 baggies of heroin that they discovered, police also found a .45 caliber pistol on the bus, and...it was loaded.  
The charges that come with all of these illegal possessions are extremely severe as you could imagine, especially when you combine pounds of marijuana with many bags of heroin and a loaded firearm.  Aside from Nelly, there were six other people on the tour bus.  Luckily for Nelly, one of the passengers named, Brian Keith Jones, has stepped up to take the wrap and admitted that the drugs and gun were his.  He has since been placed under arrest while the other members of the tour bus were let go.  
No phone calls have be returned from Nelly or his reps regarding the situation.  This exact checkpoint is the same spot where many other celebrities have been arrested for drug related violations such as, Willie Nelson, Chace Crawford, Armie Hammer, Snoop Dogg, and Fiona Apple.
We'll keep you posted on the story as it unfolds.

Diddy Says He Doesn't Raise Kids "As Celebrity Children"

Despite Diddy's incredible success, he hasn't taken the road that many other celebrity parents have of putting his children in the spotlight and exposing them to the type of "cameras flashing" lifestyle that he is used to.  He recently spoke to Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover about how he has raised his children as normal kids.  Diddy stressed that when he and his children's' mothers go to school events, or any type of public activity, he refuses to let people take pictures because he wants the attention focused on his children.  He acts the same way when it comes to attending his son Justin Combs' UCLA college football games.
"He's done everything normal.  That's one of the things that I think that raising my kids – myself and the mothers of my children – we don't raise them as celebrity children.  We don't allow taking pictures at their recitals and things like that. We don't wanna be rude or nothing, but it's their time, it's their moment. I'm there to support them as a parent.  
"So even the tailgating situation, I just go there as a parent.  I tell people like, 'I'm off today. I'm really here to support my son.' It's about my son.  I dress in full UCLA garb.  I'm fully committed, I'm a full Bruin."
