Police Say McNair Death is Murder-Suicide
At a news conference this afternoon, Nashville, Tennessee Police Chief Ronal Serpas told reporters that Steve McNair was murdered by his 20-year old girlfriend, who then turned the gun on herself. All the evidence clearly points to a murder-suicide – including the entry and exit wounds and the positions of both bodies. As tragic as it is and as much as friends, family and fans don’t want to believe it, Steve McNair was actually murdered.
McNair’s girlfriend, 20-year old Sahel Kazemi, likely shot and killed McNair while he was asleep on the couch. She shot him once in the head, twice in the chest, then again in the temple. She then positioned herself so that she would fall onto his lap after she pulled the trigger, which is how police found her body.

In recent weeks, we learned that Carrie Prejan was allowed to keep her title of Miss California, despite supposedly breaking the rules of the contest. However, Donald Trump changed all that today. Miss California Carrie Prejan was stripped of her crown, due to “contract violations”.
She came under fire after topless photos of her surfaced last month, as well as due to her missed appearances and statements on same-sex marriage. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before she was dethroned, but when nothing happened immediately, people started to think she was going to be allowed to keep the crown.
Trump stated that “Carrie is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests…”. Clearly, those interests will not include her keeping the Miss California crown. She’ll likely have difficulty entering another beauty contest on the same level, but with all the press surrounding her, I’m sure she’ll be able to squeeze a living out of something.

Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, the fans got quite a show from Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Bruno’ character. Bruno is a very in-your-face homosexual who gets his laughs in by making straight guys feel really, really uncomfortable. Eminem was his latest victim, and he was not happy about it.
Bruno came down from cable attached to the ceiling, dressed as some sort of angel/fairy and landed right on Eminem’s face – bare-assed! Eminem looked completely surprised and appalled – his entourage immediately threw Bruno off of him and started to push him around, while Eminem repeatedly cursed Bruno. The act did not appear to be staged at all, and Eminem certainly looked surprised. After Bruno flew away, Em and his crew immediately got up from their seats and stormed out of the show.
Check out the video of Eminem getting teabagged by Bruno:

She passed away at 11:45 AM on May 26th, 2009. Iron Mike was away in Vegas at the time of the accident, but immediately flew into Phoenix to the hospital.

Up-and-coming rapper ‘Dolla Bill’ was murdered late Monday afternoon after he was shot in the head at a posh Los Angeles shopping center known as the Beverly Center. His real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II and he was first discovered at just 12 years old by the famous rapper Akon.
Akon worked with Dolla Bill to release his first single called “Who the F*** is that?”; Rapper T-Pain was also featured on the track. What makes this story even worse is that Dolla Bill had just arrived in LA from Atlanta to begin recording his debut album.
Police have a suspect in custody, who is being held at $1 million bail for pending murder charges, reports CNN. The suspect’s name is Aubrey Louis Berry and he is 23 years old. Police caught up with him at Los Angeles International Airport, where he was likely on his way out of the city. The motive in the killing isn’t yet apparent, but I’ll keep you updated as I learn more about this story.

Infamous mafia princess, Victoria Gotti, has been trying to sell her Old Westbury, NY mansion since 2005. Since then, the price has dropped from $4.4 million down to $3.2 million. She first put the home up for sale after it was used in the filming of her tv show, “Growing Up Gotti”. The show followed the sometimes-exciting lives of Victoria and her three Gotti sons.
JP Morgan Chase put the Old Wetbury mansion up for foreclosure after Ms. Gotti missed a series of mortgage payments, which were a whopping $25K a month. They report that she still owes around $650,000 on the home, and obviously cannot pay.
The New York Post goes into more depth on Gotti’s foreclosure. For those of you who don’t know the mafia princess, she is the daughter of the late (and great?) mafia don, John Gotti, nicknamed the “Dapper Don”. The 46 year old Victoria stopped making payments for two years straight starting in September of 2006, which eventually led to JP Morgan Chase announcing the foreclosure.
Continue ReadingEminem vs Nick Cannon – 2009 Rap Battle
Eminem disses Nick Cannon on his new album, Relapse; Nick Cannon responds with some disses of his own.
Eminem or Nick Cannon? Personally, I’m a much bigger fan of Eminem and have been very much looking for to the debut of Relapse (even though I’ve heard most of the tracks on his Sirius radio station, Shade45). The rap battle started with one of Eminem’s tracks from the new album, entitled “Bagpipes from Baghdad”. Let’s just say Em tears up Nick Cannon and his wife, Mariah Carey – and not in a good way.
The long-awaited album from the long-dormant white rapper is slated to hit stores on May 19th. I’m sure the backlash from “Bagpipes from Baghdad” will only get worse from there. So, anyway, Nick Cannon did not take lightly to Eminem’s diss of him and his wife. He responded to media outlets all over, and even made a scathing post on his own blog.
