It was reported last week that fallen rapper (yes, sad we know) DMX, who is currently serving a 90-day prison sentence in Maricopa, Arizona, had allegedly assaulted a prison guard following a verbal dispute. Apparently, the correctional officer said some things DMX didn’t like and the rapper allegedly threw a tray of food at the officer, which subsequently resulted in DMX being rebooked on suspicion of aggravated assault with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. But the rapper denied the allegations saying that they were just another attempt to destroy his credibility.

“Many of you know me as DMX but right now I am speaking to you as Earl Simmons,” he told TMZ. “For the record, I want to state I did not physically touch or hit an officer. This is just another attempt to destroy my credibility.”

So what say you, GOT? Do we believe him or does he need more people? We’re going to go with him needing more people. That negroid has gone off the deep end. He couldn’t even keep his cool for 90 days, SMH…

CHARLES BARKLEY ARRESTED FOR SUSPICION OF DUI » Your boy Charles Barkley was busted by the cops because they suspected he was driving under the influence of alcohol a couple of weeks ago in Phoenix, Arizona. An officer spotted Sir Charles as he ran a stop sign at about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, December 23, 2008 in Scottsdale’s Old Town area, a reportedly trendy spot in the Phoenix area. But anyway, when the news hit the web, the former NBA star immediately released a statement to the press:

“I am disappointed that I put myself in that situation,” Barkley said in a statement to The Associated Press. “The Scottsdale police were fantastic. Now it is a legal matter and I will not comment any further as it is a legal matter.”

According to reports, 45-year-old Barkley failed field sobriety tests after the officer who pulled him over smelled alcohol on his breath. He was subsequently arrested, but refused to submit to a breath test. He was instead given a blood test, of which the results aren’t available yet. After a short time in jail, Barkley was cited and released. Police described Barkley as cooperative, and to make sure people didn’t give them the “side-eye,” they mentioned that it was customary to release people after a DUI arrest.

And what about Barkley’s reason for being in the area? You know that whole, “You have the right to remain silent” mumbo jumbo? Charles apprently didn’t give a f**k because he told police he was on the way to receive a favor from a friend of his, or as he so eloquently put it, to go “get a bl** job.” He said he had been there a week before, but she gave him “the beset one he ever had in his life,” and he was looking to for a second round that night.

No word on if the police actually asked Barkley where he was going or if Barkley just decided he wanted to tell the po-po of his whereabouts. We’ll let you know as soon as we do!

Your boy DMX didn’t really have a good 2008. On December 30th 2008, in a Maricopa, Arizona courthouse, he plead guilty, guilty, guilty and guilty! And no, that is NOT a typo. He really did have a court hearing for four different charges in one day, and plead guilty to all of them, in true DMX fashion. According to Associated Press, the rapper reached a plea deal agreement that will allow him to accept a guilty plea on one count of animal cruelty, one count of theft and one count of felony possession of marijuana and a narcotic drug.

He isn’t due for sentencing until January 30th 2009, but the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office says X is expected to receive a minimum 90 days in jail and will receive no credit for time served. Once he gets out, he will be on probation, and if he violates his probation, he could get more than 10 years behind bars. In addition to staying off of drugs while on probation, he’s not allowed to own pets or firearms. The pets and firearms thing sounds pretty plausible, but staying clean? Unless he gets some serious help, home boy just might be serving that 10-year sentence VERY soon.

Guess who’s in the news once again for being arrested? Our friend in the head DMX! Yesterday, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Phoenix, Arizona put out a message offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with any information that may lead to DMX’s arrest. And today, after hearing about the award worth 5 G’s, a Georgia woman tipped off Florida authorities about the rapper’s whereabouts, and he was apprehended by FBI agents at Scott Storch’s Palm Island mansion in Miami, Florida, that was foreclosed and taken way from the broke producer back in July of this year.

He’s wanted for animal abuse, drug possession and theft of services charges for defrauding a local clinic of $7,500 in services back in April when he used a fake name to escape medical bills. His friends say he’s in rehab right now trying to kick his long-time drug habit.

If he doesn’t post a $120,000 cash bond by tomorrow, he’ll be extradited back to Arizona and they’ll handle him there.

Now, our question: What the hell was he doing at Scott Storch’s house?

Reports are saying that DMX was admitted to a Miami hospital yesterday for “fear of stroke,” but the coke head’s lawyer wouldn’t confirm whether or not those reports are factual.

Rapper DMX was admitted to an Aventura, Fla., hospital yesterday (Sept. 22), according to his laywer Bradford Cohen, a day before he was scheduled to appear in an Arizona court. While Bradford wouldn’t confirm media reports alleging his admittance was due to “fear of stroke,” he did say, “It was serious enough at the time but ultimately he should be OK.”

“It was serious enough for him to be brought and taken into a treatment facility. He spent the night there last night and he will probably spend tonight there as well,” Cohen told Billboard.biz. “I don’t think it’s going to be an ongoing thing or a life-threatening situation. He’s going to be alright.”

This dude is ruthless. How convenient of him to pick the day before his court date to “fear a stroke.” We can’t get too mad at the dude though. At least he didn’t pull no sh*t like this, lol!

NAOMI CAMPBELL TRIES TO SKIP OUT ON HOTEL BILL » The Ritz Carlton hotel in Moscow, Russia wants supermodel Naomi Campbell to pay up to the tune of $400 for allegedly ruining some silk sheets in a room she was staying in last week. According to SF Gate, when Nay-Nay and her “billionaire lover” Vladislav Doronin left, cleaning staff went through the room and found holes burned into its silk bed sheets. But of course her rep came to her defense claiming that the allegations were not true.

“She didn’t have candles on the sheets. She did not smoke in the hotel room. It is completely untrue,” said her spokesperson.

C’mon, $400 bucks? That may seem a bit much to folks like me and you, but to a millionaire supermodel that’s chump change! Just pay the people so they can shut up… More headlines from your favorite celebrities when you continue reading.

RICK ROSS WAS A CORRECTIONS OFFICER BACK IN THE DAY » Over the past couple of days, rumors began to spread about rapper Rick Ross‘ past employment as a corrections officer in Dade County, FL, and it all started with a comment made by fellow Miami rapper Trick Daddy. Of course, in true hip-hop fashion, Ricky Ross denied the allegations stating that his life was “100% real,” and accused his “haters” of photoshopping his face onto someone else’s body.

The site matched the rapper’s Social Security number with that of William Roberts who graduated from the Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) training academy and was assigned to Dade County’s South Florida Reception Center in December of 1995. He was 19 years old at the time. He left the job in 1997.

DMX is fucking ignorant. No wait, he’s way past ignorant. I’m not sure if there’s a word to describe this type of stupidity and bafoonery. Yes, I just made up a word because this dude is just … wow. I was reading Necole Bitchie and I came across this interview he had with XXL. This is what he had to say about the state of our country:

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

Rapper DMX has been forced to pay out $1.5 million to the mother of his child, after he failed to turn up to a Maryland court on Friday to defend himself against allegations of defamation. The MC, real name Earl Simmons, was sued by Monique Wayne for defamation of character in 2006 after the star claimed he was raped by the woman during a hotel stay in Baltimore in 2003.

He told the magazine Sister 2 Sister, “She raped me. DNA says it is (my child). I don’t know. If I did (have sex with her), I would remember. It ain’t like she’s a pretty girl.” Wayne responded to the comments by filing a $6 million lawsuit against Simmons in Prince George’s County Circuit Court in Upper Marlboro, Md., in October 2006. Judge Thomas Smith ruled in Wayne’s favor on Friday when Simmons skipped the scheduled court hearing, ordering the rapper to pay her $518,400 in compensation, plus a further $1 million in punitive penalties, reports the New York Post.

Following the ruling, Wayne told the newspaper, “It’s not so much the price, it’s the point I wanted to get across. Let him think about what he’s going to say before he says it.”

Does he even have $1,500,000 ???
