Today marks a sad day in the music industry: the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah’s tragic death.
10 years ago today, Aaliyah Dana Haughton, the young R&B singer known worldwide as Aaliyah, was tragically killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas, putting a sad end to a promising career.
The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards are scheduled to go down this Sunday night (Aug 28) in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theater.
And while we know who will be performing and presenting, the network has yet to announce an official host for the ceremony.
Until now.
This dude will NEVER learn. (SMH!)
For what seems like the thousandth time, DMX has, once again, been arrested for some dumb sh*t!
Law enforcement tells TMZ … the rapper was arrested again, after being pulled over last night in Arizona for driving 102 mph in a 65 zone. And for good measure, Mr. X was driving on a suspended license … so cops arrested him.
He was booked for speeding, reckless driving, and the suspended license — and has since been released on bond.
This makes DMX’s 10th time being busted in Arizona.
He was just released from jail last month after serving time in prison for violating his probation last year.
When is this guy gonna clean himself up and get his sh*t together???

Who’s that girl? Eve‘s that girl! And she’s back with a brand new album titled “Lip Lock.”
But with Nicki Minaj killing the game as the only female rapper worth listening to right now, does Eve have room to shine like she did back in the day?

Usually when celebs are faced with break-up rumors, they deny, deny, deny, and them BAM … they part ways, just as everyone suspected. But we sure do hope this isn’t the case with favourite Hollywood heavyweight couple Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
According to reports, the couple are on the verge of a split as Jada allegedly had an affair with singer/actor Marc Anthony after they met during his short stint on her show “Hawthorne.” However, Jada’s rep has since quickly denied the rumors via a brief statement which said, “Everything about the Marc Anthony story is completely false.”
J. Cole kicked off his “Cole World Tour” this week in Vancouver, Canada, and after he invited a young lady on stage, he noticed that his phone had gone missing. (Swiper no swiping! lol)
Fortunately for the Roc Nation rapper, he had a film crew shooting his entire performance, and they have the footage of the thief as she swipes the cell phone from Cole’s pocket.
So Cole took to Twitter and blasted the thieving woman, threatening to release the footage if she doesn’t hand his celly over.
