Lil Wayne was arrested on not one, not even two, but THREE felony drug charges earlier today (January 23rd) after federal agents said they found illegal drugs, including cocaine, on his charter bus at a checkpoint in southwestern Arizona, AP is reporting. Cocaine Weezy? Oh really?? The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., spent the day at the Yuma County jail before being released, Capt. Eben Bratcher said. After posting more than $10,000 bond, the rapper signed autographs for fans outside a bondsman’s office.

James Tilson, a local lawyer retained by Carter, said that his client was not formally charged and that his next court date was scheduled for Friday, January 25th.

“We will find out by January 25th whether or not the [Yuma] county attorney will file charges or not,” Tilson said. “He is looking forward to his day in court. That’s all I can say right now.”

The 25-year-old rapper faces charges of possession of dangerous drugs, narcotics and drug paraphernalia. Weezy’s bus was stopped at approximately 11:30 P.M. Tuesday night at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Dateland, Arizona, which is about 78 miles east of Yuma, Capt. Bratcher said. A Border Patrol dog alerted agents to the presence of illegal drugs on the bus, said Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Ramona Sanchez. After they searched the bus, they found nearly 4 ounces of marijuana and just over an ounce of cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia. DEA agents then arrested Carter, who was traveling with 11 others.

Officials also found a .40-caliber pistol registered to Carter, who has a concealed weapons permit in Florida. Authorities are looking into whether he violated any weapons laws in Arizona. Two other men were arrested with him, and they each face a charge of possession of marijuana.

Please don’t tell me one of my favorite rappers is a cokehead. One is already on house arrest ’til God knows when. WTF is up with these fools? Oh, and if you’re wondering, something like this has happened before! SMH…

With all of the talks of him being a porn producer and all, I almost forgot this guy was a singer! Or at least he tries, Lol. His attempt at an album is due to hit stores this April and holds the title “All I Feel.” Here’s his new video, featuring rapper Yung Berg (whatever happened to this guy??), Sexy Can I.

R&Ber R. Kelly teamed up with Kanye West on his current single “Flashing Lights” from the album Graduation (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) in stores now! Loved the original so much, the remix is ok … just OK. But I’ll bump it anyway since R. Kelly is on it. Props to Regulators via Chris for this mix. You can listen to the full dirty version below peeples..

Throwback: Michael Jackson’s Ghosts

MOAR!? Yes, bb! I loved the video clip for Ghosts (full version), which can also be classified as a short feature film, it’s like a 40 minute music video ha ha. The songs featured, in order, are “2 Bad,” “Is It Scary,” and “Ghosts” and they are all from HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor. This is the longest running music video of all time second to R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series. The reason I chose this video as another one of my favourite MJ throwbacks is becos the dancing and songs are wicked, yes! My favourite, fabourite scene would have to be “Ghosts,” I love that song so much and it was so funnie! And when he bowed at the end like, “WHAT! Bitch, I’m the KING!” I was like, “there he go”. Once again, Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop, forever … forever.

Charm School Season 2 Coming Soon; Jamie Foxx Rumored to Host

I knew you had an idea this was coming … another VH1 reality show! I Love New York 2 just wrapped, Flavor of Love 3 premieres in February, and Rock of Love 2 premiered this week. So that leaves another popular VH1 show sitting in limbo, and that’s Charm School! Season 2 of the show, which will begin recording next month in Los Angeles, will feature 15 of the most unfit, rowdy, and crazy contestants from the 1st 2 seasons of the #1 rated VH1 show, “I Love New York” which is a spin off of “Flavor of Love”. The rumored (but unconfirmed) host of this show is said to be Jamie Foxx. In a total of 11 edited episodes, Jamie will attempt to turn these wild “New York” boys into positive strong gentlemen. The overall winner will receive a $50,000 grand prize, much like season one’s winner, Saaphyri.

The show is set to tape in the same Charm School mansion (and the same damn mansion they use for Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, AND I Love New York) as 1st season. Confirmed contestants include Mr. Boston, Chance, Heat, Buddah, Wolf, Midget Mac, Tango, Trendz, and Mr. Wise. Charm School 2: From Gs to Gents (The NY Boys) is set to start airing in June. Will you be watching?
