Despite making a late appearance to court yesterday, Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Michael Ryan allowed Yung Joc, who was born Jasiel Robinson, to remain free on $50,000 bond, which he had posted Monday. His next court appearance is scheduled for January 25. Because he was late for the Wednesday morning arraignment, Cuyahoga County assistant prosecutor Gayle Williams told the media that the rapper was considered a fugitive of the law, and that his bond would be doubled to $100,000.

Joc’s attorney, Stanley Jackson Jr., was apologetic about his client’s absence at the hearing and said the rapper was out of town on personal and family obligations. Ryan chided the lawyer but allowed Yung Joc to stay free on bond, Reuters reports. Jackson Jr. said his celebrity client is innocent of the charge. [ SOURCE: MTV ]

JAY-Z & BEYONCE

FYI: This list is in no particular order…

2007 is coming to a close, and we here at Think2wice thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some of the greatest moments, people, etc. of the past year! First up, is “Favorite Couples.” And you guessed it, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perched at the top of this list! These two cause a stir in the gossip blogs whenever their names are mentioned. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve given them one name … Jayonce. Despite both of their busy schedules, Jayonce still finds the time to spend time with each other, whether it be a sporting event, a week-long vacation, or just having dinner at one of NYC’s top restaurants. Recently, rumors sparked of the two being married after people spotted matching tattoos on their ring fingers (IV – “FOURever” ??), but those rumors were immediately shot down by one of Jay-Z’s reps. Who knows … they probably are married! Hell, didn’t Janet keep her marriage to that guy from the public for like 10 or more years? Anyhow, hate it or love it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are with each other for the long run, as long as they keep their relationship as private as it has been for the past 4 years. CONTINUE READING

R. KELLY LEAVING COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT LAST FRIDAY (PHOTO: AP)

According to YAHOO! News, a Chicago woman who snapped photos of R. Kelly in a courtroom with her cell phone has pleaded guilty to contempt of court after spending the weekend in jail. 49-year-old Jean Johnson was sentenced to five 5 days in jail after entering the plea Monday, but she was released after Judge Vincent Gaughan gave her credit for the days she had already spent in custody. Lucky for her, she had violated her probation and already had served a little time in the clinker. The judge also ordered her cell phone destroyed.

Describing herself as Kelly’s “biggest fan,” Johnson said she couldn’t resist snapping four grainy pictures of the R&B superstar as he sat across from her last Thursday. She said she didn’t realize cameras weren’t allowed in courtrooms.

“I feel stupid,” Johnson said. “I just got carried away. I’m a big fan of R. Kelly. I wanted it so that every time my phone rang, I could open it up and he’d be right there.”

Those damn camera phones are the devil, lol.

First it was T.I., then Akon, some other people in between, and now Trey Songz. Mr. Trey Day himself has his very own online video of him attacking an audience member after something is thrown at him. The video above shows someone throwing ice at the R&B singer while performing “Wonder Woman” at a club, and Trey stops the music and takes his bodyguarad with him as he jumps into the crowd proceeding to beat the guy’s ass. Then he hops back on stage and continues the show with his new single “Can’t Help But Wait.” The next time I’m at an intimate concert I’m gonna throw something at the person on stage and see what happens!

2007 has not been good to Remy Ma. In addition to being charged with assault and attempted murder, the rapper has been slapped with a multi-million dollar lawsuit! In the suit, reportedly filed in a New York court on Friday, Makeda Barnes-Joseph accuses Remy Ma of “willfully, wantonly and maliciously” shooting her, and she’s suing her ex-friend for $10 million. The suit also names the rapper’s record companies, including Universal Music Group and Sure Shot Recordings, as defendants, alleging they encouraged Remy Ma to engage in violent behavior as part of her image.

Ivan Fisher, her lawyer, said Barnes-Joseph’s lawsuit was “looking for the deepest pocket it could find” and called it “irresponsible,” according to Reuters. Barnes-Joseph reportedly claims in the suit that she suffered severe physical harm and mental anguish after the July shooting, which took place on a New York street after a dispute over money ($2,000 to be exact) missing from the rapper’s belongings. Remy Ma fled the scene but later turned herself in and was charged on counts of attempted murder, assault and weapon possession. If convicted, Remy ma faces up to 25 years in prison. [ SOURCE: MTV ]

Here’s the uh … “Part 2″ to the couple’s previous video, “Boyfriend” “Girlfriend.” Their flop of an album has sold just over 100,000 units since it’s December 11th release. Anyhow, in regards to the video … can you say “WACK” ?

Atlanta rapper Yung Joc failed to appear at an arraignment hearing in Cleveland this morning and as an unfortunate result, has had his bond raised to $100,000. According to the Associated Press, Joc (real name Jasiel Robinson) was a no-show at the Cuyahoga County courthouse, where he was expected to answer to charges of carrying a concealed weapon.

Stanley Jackson Jr., Joc’s attorney, told the court that his client was busy with family and personal obligations. Cuyahoga County assistant prosecutor Gayle Williams is expected to ask the court to issue an arrest warrant for the rapper. Municipal Judge Michael John Ryan advised Jackson that his client must appear in court and doubled the rapper’s bond from the previous amount of $50,000.

He better get his ass to court ASAP! Weapons charges are no joke … ask T.I.

When you’re on house arrest with a “3 adult limitation” in place (he’s only allowed to have 3 adults in his home – not including himself – at one time), you have a lot of free time to do a lot of things. Like decorating 3 Christmas trees, putting together your kids’ gifts with your own two hands, and wishing your fans a Merry Christmas through youtube. You’d think that the drama surrounding T.I. would keep him down, but based on what I saw in the video, that’s definitely not the case. Among other things, T.I. thanks everyone for their prayers and tells his fans not to worry about him. Oh yeah, and no one who wasn’t built for Grand Hustle is not leaving the popular, contrary to the rumors that are circulating the web.
