Basketball star Carmelo Anthony was arrested for DUI early Monday morning (Apr. 14th), just hours after leading his team to a victory over the Houston Rockets. The Denver Nuggets Small Forward was pulled over in his Mercedes after he was spotted weaving in and out of lanes and failing to dim his high-beam headlights. He was in the car alone when he was pulled over at about 4 A.M., Denver Police said.

In a statement issued through his attorney, Anthony said he regrets the incident.

“Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them,” the statement said.

Anthony was taken into custody, booked and later released after consenting to a blood test. He has a court date scheduled for May 14th.

The Carters (Jay-Z & Beyonce) hit up the Houston Rockets Game in Houston Friday (Apr. 11th). As usual, the two have the blog world talking because they’re not rocking any kind of wedding bands. You just wait. After a while, it’s gonna be hard for them trying to remember to take those things off when they go out in public. Lol!

The beautiful and talented Alicia Keys is currently featured on the cover of the May 2008 issue of Blender Magazine. The magazine isn’t scheduled to hit stands until this Tuesday, but a snippet of the article has been making its rounds online and causing a lot of controversy in the process. She believes that the government was involved in the shooting deaths of slain rappers 2-Pac and Biggie, and she also expressed her feelings about “gangsta rap.”

There’s a knock on the hotel-room door, and a minder enters with a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich: lunch. We’ve been talking about Keys’s early jones for the Notorious B.I.G. “My favorite Biggie song is ‘Me & My Bitch,’” she says, licking a stray globule of jam off her finger. “That title doesn’t make you think he’s speaking about the love of his life, but he is. She throws his shit out the window, she flushes his drugs down the toilet—she’s crazy! But if you grew up like that, then you understood, that was love in that world.”

We ask what other gangsta rappers she liked. And that’s when Keys drives a steamroller through the wall.

“‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other,” she says, putting down the sandwich. “‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”

Come again? A ploy by whom?

She looks at us like it’s the dumbest question in the world. “The government.”
