A jury was chosen on Monday in the case against one of two brothers allegedly responsible for Johnson’s death.

 

Tuesday the jury visited the crime scene and opening statements were given in court for the murder of Johnson back in May 2006.

 

Murder and hip-hop…always a sad combination. 

 

 

 

During a recent press conference 50 Cent took time out to address why his new album was pushed back to 2009.

 

“I decided to push the record back because I have so much more that I want to offer the public as a part of my presentation before I get to actually releasing it,” 50 said.

 

For those of you who don’t speak “bull sh*t”, let me translate.

See how easy that is.

And just as fast as it started, the last episode of MTV’s TRL music show became history.

 

All of the stars were saying how much they are gonna’ miss the show.  Let’s be honest…when was the last time any of us even watched an entire episode of TRL….exactly!

 

Snoop, Kid Rock, Puffy…who smoked more weed before taking this picture?

Beyonce…we know already!

Ya’ll know Diddy had to be there.

The company considered removing the actress-singer’s image after her mother, brother and nephew were killed in late October.But Hudson indicated she would like to go on with the campaign.

The prostitute behind one of the greatest scandals in the history of New York politics - specifically Eliot Spitzer’s - has conducted her first TV interview with ABC News.

Ashley Dupré’s interview with Diane Sawyer will air this Friday on “20/20″ as part of a series on prostitution.
