2 Chainz JAILED For Obstruction Of Justice After 8-Hour STANDOFF With The Cops 

2 Chainz and 10-members of his entourage were booked into the Oklahoma County Jail after they refused to allow the police to search their tour bus.

Wednesday, 2 Chainz performed alongside Lil Wayne, T.I. and Future for their America’s Most Wanted Tour and apparently they "celebrated" on the bus.

Initially, cops pulled 2 Chainz's tour bus over for a busted taillight, but once cops made contact with the driver, they realized some illegal activities had been going on. But cops weren't allowed to confirm their suspicions because 2 Chainz and the crew LOCKED the doors and refused to allow them to search the bus. The cops towed the bus to their parking lot and began a search once they obtained a search warrant. Mind you....all of this took 8 hours!

Oklahoma City Police Department Sergeant Jennifer Wardlow told Radio.com,

“We stopped the bus about midnight and it was near I-40 and Meridian,”while the investigation was still underway. The reason for traffic stop was it looks like there was a broken taillight. When officers went up to bus and made contact with the driver, there was evidence of drug usage going on the bus. We’re not getting into specifics of what it was, but it was apparent to the officers that there was drug use going on the bus. The driver was taken into custody without any problem. When he got out and shut the door, it locked so the officers couldn’t get into the tour bus.

“The decision was made to tow the bus to our police training facility and obtain a warrant. It was about 8 a.m. Oklahoma time when they were able to get a warrant, and it was at that time that all the people who were on the bus came off.”

According to the AP, investigators DID find narcotics on the bus but they could not determine who they belonged to. But over on Twitter, Titty Boi/2 Chainz claims they didn't find anything!

FYI.....the officers took the following persons into custody:

Tauhed Epps (2 Chainz)

Cedric Brooks

Abdullah Mujahid

Rory Smith

Jermaine Simister

Stethen Boykin

Jack Brown

Marshall Sudderth

Robert Jordan

Leon Smith

Bryan Gathii

Yep, all the government names on blast.  We'll keep you posted on future charges.....

Scott Storch Robbed At Gunpoint In NYC

Scott Storch is having a bad day. The renowned producer, and alleged coke fiend, was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday outside of his hotel in New York City.

TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned ... 39-year-old Storch just filed a police report in NYC, claiming he was leaving the New York Palace hotel on Madison Ave. when he was approached by two men with guns while he was inside a waiting SUV who said, "Give us all your jewelry and cash or you're dead."

Law enforcement sources tell us Storch handed over a briefcase which contained $4k to $5k in cash ... along with several pieces of jewelry.

The men also demanded the driver of the SUV hand over the keys to the ride so they couldn't drive away ... and the driver complied.

Eventually, we're told the bad guys ran off without opening fire. Storch says he tried to chase after the guys to see where they were headed, but they got away.

Storch -- who's in town for the MTV VMAs -- went to a nearby police station and filed a report.

This story definitely sounds like a set up.

Toddler Shoots Himself In The Face

A Michigan father mourning his 3-year-old is urging gun owners to store their firearms safely – so they do not suffer the same fate.

Brian Holbrook’s baby boy Damon found a loaded handgun on the floor of a bedroom closet in their Dundee home.

He accidentally shot himself in the face late Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

“We r all hoping to wake up from this nightmare,” Holbrook wrote on Facebook. “Though we know that it is now a living nightmare. My baby boy is gone & I will never get to hold him again.”

Damon was declared dead in an emergency room in Joseph Hospital in Ann Arbor at 5 p.m., according to police.

The gun belonged to Joshua Michael Greenhill, 30, a close friend who lived with the family, police said.

Greenhill was charged with careless discharge of a firearm causing injury or death, a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison, according to local station WXYZ.

He was released on a $1,000 bond and had to forfeit his concealed pistol license identification. A pretrial conference is slated for Sept. 4, reported The Detroit News.

The tragedy does not diminished Holbrook’s support for the Second Amendment but it does reaffirm his belief in the need for a magnitude of proper safety precautions.

“All I ask is that everyone please, please safety first lock it up and put it out of reach of anyone that has no business being around a gun especially kids,” he said.

Three other children were home at the time.

The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with further information is asked to call the Dundee Police Department at 734-529-3430.

Kanye West Passed On American Idol Judge Gig Because It Would Ruin His Rep

Kanye West is one interesting character. Word is that Yeezy was offered the final judge position for the forthcoming season of American Idol. However, the “New Slaves” rapper passed on the gig because it was too “mainstream” and would ruin his reputation.

Reports via US Weekly:

A source tells Us Weekly exclusively that the hip hop star was offered the third and final spot on Idol’s judging panel for the upcoming 13th season. After thinking it over, however, he decided to pass, in part because he worried it would hurt his reputation.

“He didn’t want to go that mainstream,” the source tells Us of the “Black Skinhead” rapper, 36, who has a 2-month-old daughter, North, with Kardashian, 32. “He didn’t want to lose any street cred. So he turned it down.”

Forgive us for stating the obvious, but Kanye West is all things mainstream and has pretty much never had to worry about “street cred.”

To his credit, these aren’t Yeezy’s own words. So who is this source and how did Yeezy wrong them? Just saying.

American Idol producers seemed to be thirsty for a Black judge because they reportedly interviewed Will.i.am, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Rodney Jerkins for judging spot that ended up going to producer Dr. Luke.

Kanye West will be appearing on Kris Jenner’s Kris talk show for a lengthy interview this TODAY!

Beyonce Refuses to Allow V Fest Telecast

According to reports Beyonce's V Fest performance was supposed to be simulcast on TV but Beyonce refused to clear her performance for broadcast at the last minute.

Channel 4 V Fest hosts Edith Bowman and Steve Jones didn't fudge facts when explaining why the performance wasn't being shown on TV placing the blame squarely on Beyonce's refusal to sign off on the footage.

CALL HER CRAZY: Amanda Bynes Parents Granted Temporary Conservatorship

It’s Official… Amanda Bynes Has Been Declared As Out Of Her Mind!!!

After appearing in court Friday morning, Amanda Bynes parents are now in charge of her finances and her well-being because the doctor has confirmed in a court of law that Amanda Bynes is “Gravely Disabled” with mental illness.

Unfortunately, Bynes swears she still ain’t crazy though! How much proof do you need Amanda?

The docs are saying it, the judge is saying, you’re parents and we ALL are saying it!

The judge in the Amanda Bynes case just granted a temporary conservatorship to her parents.

The judge based his decision in no small part on the findings of an investigator he appointed to evaluate Amanda’s mental health.

As we first reported … Amanda was not in court, because doctors at the psychiatric hospital got a 1-month extension on her psych hold … because she’s “gravely disabled” with mental illness.

Amanda’s lawyer told the judge … she’s spoken with the actress several times and Amanda opposes the conservatorship, believing it’s not necessary.

The conservatorship not only covers Amanda’s personal well-being, it gives her mom the ability to manage her finances. Amanda’s $4 million savings have been rapidly depleted, though it’s unclear what she’s been spending money on. The judge cautioned the parents not to make any significant deals without consulting with Amanda’s lawyer.

The judge said he’d like to have some face-to-face time with Amanda, so he can make a firsthand evaluation.

The temporary conservatorship will last until Sept. 30. At that time the judge will hold a formal hearing on whether to make it permanent.

You know you’re having a bad day when someone calls you “gravely disabled

Nas Helps Raise Over $30,000 For A Homeless Single Father With 8 Kids

For many, Nas is just a rapper but to the Young family, he is a hero.

This week, Nas came across the story of Stanley Young, a single father of 8 children who had lost his home to a fire, on the news and he decided to start a campaign to help the family find a new home.

In a message submitted to the fundraising site Crowdtilt, Nas wrote:

Stanley Young is an unemployed construction worker and single father. Two weeks ago, a fire destroyed his home. His family is stuck in a hotel, but time is running out. I could barely watch his tragic story on the news…– they will be kicked out by August 13th if we don’t do something to help now.I am also a single father, and we don’t get enough credit in this country. I’m committed to helping Stanley and his eight (yes 8!) kids. Moreover, I believe and hope that we should all, as a community, come together to help our fellow American men and women when they need us in desperate situations like this. See if you can’t find a few dollars to help the Youngs get back on their feet with me. We need to raise enough to extend their stay, and maybe even afford a down payment on a new house or something.

This is real. It is me. I’m putting in $5,000 myself. Never done something like this, but I have faith that our American community can pull together a miracle for this strong family who needs our help right now. If we can get to the $20,000 goal, I’ll put in another $5,000 too.

Thanks and God bless.

Nas has helped raise almost $35,000, and is looking to raise at least $50,000 by August 15, which is the date that Stanley and his family will be required to vacate the hotel they are living in.

Meanwhile, Stanley was taken aback by all the support. He told ABC 7:

So many people just came out of nowhere and put out money and we were blown away. It’s been surprising how much they did within a couple of hours. That is so amazing to me. It’s overwhelming. He don’t have to do what he had to do. People, strangers I don’t even know, never met before in my life, are helping and that’s amazing.

And Nas added:

Thank you to ABC for putting this on our radar so we know about this. We just knew we had to do something. I’m grateful to Stanley. He’s the true American dream. A man who would do whatever it takes to take care of his kids. I’m the same way and I just think he’s great.

Nas is in direct contact with Stanley and his family, and they are hoping that the $50,000 will help the Youngs find a permanent place to live versus a temporary solution.

If you are wondering about the kids’ mom, she passed away last year, which makes the story even more heartbreaking.

Nicki Minaj Gets In The Myx At Story Nightclub In Miami + Shoots “I Wanna Be With You” Video With Future & DJ Khaled; Ciara Stops Through

After stepping out to Supperclub in L.A., Nicki Minaj took the party to Story nightclub in Miami, This time around she was joined by SB, Birdman, Cam’ron, and DJ Clue, as she promoted her new venture – Myx Fusions moscato.

Rockin’ a silk Marilyn Monroe print Dolce & Gabbana tank, the rap star was snapped with Birdman as they pulled up in a new Bugatti.

Nicki was back to business, catching up with DJ Khaled and Future to shoot the video for their “I Wanna Be With You” collaboration (also featuring Rick Ross). She served some major leg in a sexy 

Nicki pulled her hair back, and changed into an all black look. “Khaled talkin mad cocky s–t. As always. @djkhaled lmao,” she wrote while spotted alongside the rapper.dj khaled i wanna be with you video shoot 

Ciara stopped through the shoot. She rock’d her curly locks as she kicked it with Nicki, SB, DJ Khaled, and her boo Future. And she and CiCi were snapped in a close-up.

But that WIG though CiCi!

What a McRipoff McDonalds Testing Prepaid Visa cards instead of Paper Checks!

I’m not even an employee and I’m McPissed! When I think of the fees and things associated with the employee’s being paid in PrePaid Visa Debit Cards they end up being cheated out of money. Some of the money may sound like a small amount but those fees add up fast. Its hard enough to survive already. As lined out in the video posted below the fee policy is:

$1.75 for Withdrawls

$2.00 for Transfers to your own bank

$5.00 for Inactivity

This is justified by pointing out that people don’t have to go through a credit check!? What?? You mean to get your own paycheck?? How generous. As well as avoiding the hassle & check cashing fees. I fully understand some will love it and have no issue but I wouldn’t be one of them. Sure, some will argue well its just a few dollars but the thing is McDonalds is a Multi-Million Dollar Corp. why don’t they cover the fee’s for them so the employee doesn’t lose those “few dollars”? Typically wealthy people watch close to every penny they own hence them remaining wealthy. Fee’s can suck a pocket or purse dry as the desert, ok?  I may not have everything but I love each & every dark, dingy, kinda sticky, black-edged, used-to-be-copper penny I own.

There are currently a few lawsuits going on behind this issue. McDonalds is not the only one. More businesses are following suit or are already using this method. Keep an eye on your money. You work hard for it! If you aren’t a fan there is a petition. Go to www.lowpayisnotok.org

Kris Jenner Says That “Kanye is Manipulating Kim Kardashian”

Kris Jenner is pissed right now that she is not in “CONTROL” of Kim . According to Kris Kanye is making life very miserable for his baby momma, Kim is being controlled and manipulated by the man she used to think was the love of her life, and it looks as though she sees little alternative to his cruelty. I’ve always said all grown parties involved knew exactly what they were doing being in that relationship. NONE of them are victims I’m just here for all of this… It shall be epic.

According to INTOUCH , “She has to do what he says — or else,” says a friend. ”She knows the littlest thing can set him off. She knows not to push Kanye too far … she’s doing her best to keep him happy”

The friend reveals that Kim is living as though she’s been “trapped by a madman,” with Kanye making all of her choices for her.

“When the time comes for her to step out into public, he wants her to be wearing outfits he picked out for her,” reveals another confidante. “He’s telling her sisters, mom — everyone — what they can and cannot post on Twitter.”

As for the real reason Kim hasn’t made her big post-baby reveal yet, friends say Kanye wants to control that, too. Since baby Nori was born, friends say the star has “brought in more security around the house and won’t let Kim leave.”

Kim needs to get some damn self-esteem and stop letting people run her life. Her mother, Kanye, her ex-boyfriends, her ex-husbands… this girl has never thought for herself in her damn life.

Good grief, the minute a man involves himself in a relationship with a weak woman is the minute i know for a fact that he is a weak man. Just a bunch of weak people who all need help. For a person that grew up with both parents, she has TERRIBLE taste in men. I wonder what that stems from?

Obama Bodyguard Found Dead After Having an Affair With a Foreign National

A Bodyguard of Obama was found dead in his car, ruled a suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning from the car exhaust. Before he died, he was under investigation for an extra marital affair with a foreign national.

Employees for the government sometimes are required to inform the agency about relationships with foreign people, allegedly to confirm that the person is not a threat to ‘national security.’ Apparently, one of Obama’s bodyguards, Rafael Prieto, had an affair, and killed himself for some reason while under investigation. His secret was revealed by other agents during their investigation for another sex scandal.

Maybe the reason he killed himself was his marriage failing, or maybe it was something more complicated, such as what he saw working for the government, or what he learned. Maybe he was murdered, but that is not likely because it is difficult to force someone to sit in a car filling up with carbon dioxide. Maybe he was knocked unconscious first.

This may be noteworthy to provide insight into the behavior and mental complex of these employees of government; bodyguards, agents, officers. In some cases, the track record of these people is to be filled with prostitution, indulgence in alcohol and criminal behavior, etc. Earlier this year, 13 Secret Service agents were implicated in a prostitution scandal in Colombia.

This was what was under investigation, when the bodyguard who killed himself has his secret revealed. Officers and agents led prostitutes to their hotel after a long night of drinking and partying, possibly doing other drugs. An apparently self righteous and inconsiderate agent refused to pay a prostitute he used for sex, and he yelled at her in a hallway. The incident went public, and someone connected to Rafael essentially told on him

VAVA BOOM! Christina Aguilera shows off her hot new figure after shedding the pounds ahead of her return to The Voice

It's no wonder Christina Aguilera treated herself to a spot of retail therapy on Thursday.

Having recently lost as much as a reported 30lbs, the singer was no doubt in need of plenty of new slimline clothes to restock her wardrobe.

However, snapped leaving upscale department store Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, California, the star and her blonde-haired pal appeared not to have gone overboard, with each carrying just one shopping bag.

Perfectly displaying her new downsized curves in skintight light blue jeans, a white T-shirt and clingy grey jumper, the happy star smiled and waved to fans as she made her way back to her car.

Her new shorter shoulder-length blonde hair was partially covered with a black baseball cap emblazoned with a yellow P for the outing, while the songstress made sure she was ready for her close-up with a face full of heavy, tanned make-up.

The 32-year-old shed her excess weight thanks to the 1600-calorie Fresh Diet premium meal-delivery plan.

She also credits yoga and regular sessions with trainer Tee Sorge for the dramatic transformation.

'She did it all on her own,' an insider told Us Weekly last month, adding that public pressure got to the usually body-confident star.

'A lot of people were on her about her weight and it depressed her. She went through a bad time because of the criticism.'

A source close to the Beautiful singer continued that she found just the right workout that made slogging away in the gym less of a chore.

'It's more of a mind-body thing for her. She believes in exercise that she enjoys: doing strength work as opposed to intense cardio.'

Well whatever she's doing, it's definitely working, and the Voice judge and mentor looks to be thrilled with the results.

Christina will return to The Voice's red swivel chair after a season's absence when the fifth season of the popular singing contest returns to NBC on September 23.
