Olympic Gold Medalist Marion Jones Admits to Steroid Usage!

Dayummmm homie! After tons of tests and accusations, Marion Jones (famous for winning 5 Olympic medals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000) has admitted to using steroids. She will be stripped of her winnings (medals included) and has made a decision to quit track and field. Below is a statement from Ms. Jones herself:

Making these false statements to federal agents was an incredibly stupid thing for me to do, and I am responsible fully for my actions. I have no one to blame but myself for what I’ve done. To you, my fans, including my young supporters, the United States Track & Field Association, my closest friends, my attorneys, and the most classy family a person could ever hope for, mainly my mother, my husband, my children, my brother and his family, my uncle and the rest of my extended family, I want you to know that I have been dishonest, and you the have the right to be angry with me.

I have let them down. I have let my country down. And I have let myself down. I recognize that by saying that I’m deeply sorry, it might not be enough and sufficient to address the pain and the hurt that I have caused you. Therefore, I want to ask for your forgiveness for my actions, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I have asked Almighty God for my forgiveness. Having said this and because of my actions, I am retiring from the sport of track and field, a sport that I deeply love. I promise that these events will be used to make the lives of many people improve. That by making the wrong choices and bad decisions can be disastrous. I want to thank you all for your time.

Lil Wayne Taken into Custody in Idaho!

Weezy F Baby (also known as Lil Wayne) was arrested and taken into custody Friday night after a concert performance on a felony warrant stemming from a drug possession charge.

Doney said police received information Carter was wanted but allowed him to perform before they arrested him. The officers were in touch with the Georgia law enforcement agency, though Doney could not identify which one. Boise police gang detectives who were at the concert to monitor the crowd confirmed that Carter had an outstanding warrant, and undercover detectives arrested him, Doney said. Carter was arrested without incident and was “compliant” with officers, the lieutenant said.

It’s not clear whether Carter’s drug possession charge stems from inside Fulton County. Spokespeople for the Atlanta and Fulton County police departments, as well as the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, could not determine late Saturday night whether their agencies issued the warrant for Carter. If so, it wouldn’t be Carter’s first arrest in Fulton County; his record includes a 2005 drug arrest in Atlanta.

Word on the block is that Weezy’s supposed to be performing this weekend at the BET Hip-Hop Awards show in Atlanta. It’s unknown whether or not he will be released by then.

Why Jamie, Why?!

First the effed up hairline, now this! Here Jamie Foxx can be seen rocking a “clip-on” diamond earring. I didn’t even know they made clip-on studs! WTF?! Is it that serious? I mean really, getting your ears pierced doesn’t hurt that bad. Stop being a little bitch and let somebody put a hole in your ‘lobes if you REALLY want to rock studs. ‘Cause this is not poppin … at all.
