Suge Knight arrested in Las Vegas for possession of marijuana

Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was recently arrested in Las Vegas and charged with possession of a "controlled non-medical substance.
Police said officers pulled over the 46-year-old, who was driving a black Bentley with California license plates, in the city on Wednesday afternoon after he made an unsafe lane change, OnTheRedCarpet.com has learned.
They discovered Knight had three outstanding warrants and found him to be in possession of less than an ounce of "a controlled non-medical substance," which CNN reported to be marijuana. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has not confirmed this. Knight was taken into custody and released without bail because his charges were considered minor.
In Nevada, possession of one ounce of marijuana or less for medicinal use is legal. If a person cannot prove a doctor prescribed it, they could face fines or even jail time, which could be given if they have been charged with a similar offense twice before.
In California, a person is legally allowed to possess up to eight ounces of marijuana if they can prove it is for medicinal use, and could face jail time if they cannot and are facing a second charge.
Knight is the former CEO of Death Row Records and has helped launch the careers of rappers Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Knight has produced albums such as Dre Dre's 1992 debut solo record "The Chronic," a slang term for marijuana.
Knight is on unsupervised probation for driving on a suspended license. In December 2010, he was arrested on an outstanding minor traffic warrant as he left a restaurant near Universal Studios outside Los Angeles. In August 2008, Knight was detained and accused of beating his girlfriend and possessing illegal narcotics. The case was dismissed.
He was also jailed in 2003 for several months for violating parole by punching a parking valet at a nightclub in Hollywood. He has served time in prison for violating probation on assault charges stemming from a fight at a Las Vegas hotel in 1996. Hours after the fight, Shakur was shot and later died.

Paul McCartney's ex-wife says Piers Morgan heard hacked phone call

 

Heather Mills, a former wife of Paul McCartney, on Thursday described to a British inquiry into media ethics how journalists had listened to unauthorized phone recordings of her conversations with the former Beatle and how paparazzi photographers had hounded her and her daughter.
Giving evidence to a panel formed after the phone hacking scandal linked to tabloid reporters working for Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Mills told how her relationship to McCartney was closely reported after the couple met in 1999.
Suggesting that phone hacking was not exclusively used by Murdoch's reporters, Mills recounted how a former employee of the Trinity Mirror group — owner of the Daily Mirror tabloid, which was edited by Piers Morgan, now a CNN host, between 1995 and 2004 — told her he had heard recorded phone conversations of pleading messages left on her phone by McCartney at a difficult time in their relationship.
Mills said she knew the reporter from stories he had written about her before her relationship with McCartney.
"He said, 'Look Heather, we've heard that you and Paul have had an argument and I've just heard a message of him singing on the phone to you asking for forgiveness.' And I said, 'There is no way you can have heard that unless you've been listening to my messages,' and he laughed."
Mills said she threatened "to do something about it" if he reported the story and never heard any more until last year when she discovered a reference to it in an article on her broken marriage. The piece, titled "I'm sorry Macca for introducing you to this monster," was written by Piers Morgan in 2006 chronicling his claim that he introduced the couple.
Mills said he did not introduce the couple at an event he hosted.
"Did you authorize Mr. Morgan to access your voice mail?" asked the panel's lawyer, Robert Jay. "Never," Mills answered.
Morgan was asked about the recordings by the panel in December and he said he could not reveal their source but denied he had ever knowingly listened to illegally obtained voice messages. He added that during the divorce between Mills and McCartney in 2006, Mills "stated as a fact that she had recorded their conversations and given them to the media."
The inquiry also watched a clip from 64 hours of film Mills had made of evidence of constant pursuit by photographers stationed outside her house, including sounds of screeching tires and a crash and snatches of dialogue. "We don't just turn up; we do it because we're being asked to do it," says one voice.
The allegations of phone hacking linked to Murdoch's now-defunct tabloid News of the World have become the focus of police and civil inquiries as well as legal hearings. News International, the British branch of News Corp., has agreed to several compensation packages for victims in efforts to stave off costly lawsuits.
So far this year, a London High Court has awarded several million dollars' worth of damage settlements to claimants, including such high-profile celebrities as actor Jude Law.
The latest hearing on Wednesday awarded damages to 15 people, including Alastair Campbell, one-time press secretary to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and former soccer star Paul Gascoigne.
News Corp. faces more than 50 additional claims for settlement. Police say they have collected names of more than 800 potential victims of phone hacking and media surveillance who also might sue.

Lady GaGa on bulimia struggle: "I used to throw up all the time"

Recommend 1

Lady GaGa has opened up about her battle with bulimia.

The 'You and I' singer revealed that she always struggled with her weight, confessing that she used to throw up in high school.

"I used to throw up all the time in high school," GaGa said during a recent interview with Maria Shriver. "So I'm not that confident."

She explained: "I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night."

The 25-year-old went on to reveal that it was thanks to music that she was forced to stop the harmful practice.

"It made my voice bad, so I had to stop," GaGa said. "The acid on your vocal chords - it's very bad."

The singer admitted that she still has body image issues.

"Weight is still a struggle," GaGa confessed. "Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you - they make you perfect. It's not real life."

GaGa recently claimed that she is looking for an Italian sperm donor to father her child via in vitro fertilisation.

Goodwin shaming tawdry: Darling

• Former RBS chief executive Fred Goodwin has been stripped of his knighthood

Alistair Darling has criticised the "tawdry" treatment meted out to Fred Goodwin after the banker was humiliatingly stripped of his knighthood.

The former chancellor voiced distaste at the way Mr Goodwin had been singled out by the Government, while other senior figures escaped punishment.
The award was "cancelled and annulled" by the Queen on Tuesday after a key committee found the ex-Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) boss had brought the honours system into "disrepute".
Politicians from across parties hailed the move, which brackets him with notorious figures such as Soviet spy Anthony Blunt and Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe.
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was the "right decision", while Chancellor George Osborne insisted Mr Goodwin represented "everything that went wrong in the British economy over the last decade".
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the punishment was "only the start of the change we need" in boardrooms, but some Tory MPs expressed concern about the extent of political influence on the City.
Writing in The Times, Mr Darling, who as chancellor led negotiations over the RBS bailout, insisted: "There is something tawdry about the Government directing its fire at Fred Goodwin alone; if it's right to annul his knighthood, what about the honours of others who were involved in RBS and HBoS?"
Mr Goodwin received his knighthood for services to banking under the Labour government, before guiding RBS to the brink of collapse in 2008.
Honours are usually only removed from individuals who have been convicted and jailed, but the Cabinet Office said the scale of the RBS disaster - necessitating a £45 billion bailout from the taxpayer - made the case "exceptional".
The Forfeiture Committee, made up of senior civil servants, met last week to consider the issue. Its recommendation to strip Mr Goodwin of the honour was conveyed to the Queen by the Prime Minister.

Cheryl in Twitter spat with Harvey

Cheryl Cole is involved in an online row with former So Solid Crew star Harvey after he claimed the pair had a relationship.

The singer took to Twitter after Harvey told Now magazine that the pair had got together after her marriage to footballer Ashley Cole collapsed.
She tweeted "Was this 'relationship' happening in your head @harveyofficial?! Are you smoking something?.." and added that she had met Harvey "once maybe twice at public events and with your wife!!".
Harvey, whose marriage to former Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon collapsed when he had an affair with singer Javine Hylton, said he had "massive respect" for Cole but hit back on Twitter.
He said: "Do you actually want me to tweet some of the messages you emailed me @cherylcole pipe down and stop playing the saint in front of your fans."
Harvey told the magazine the pair shared "an attraction to each other's aura" but the relationship stopped when Cole moved to America for her ill-fated appearance on the US X Factor.

Sofia Vergara Wore "Almost No Underwear" to SAGs, Globes.

 

Thoroughly modern Sofia!
Modern Family bombshell Sofia Vergara has been omnipresent on the awards show circuit this season. Her undergarments, however, have been more elusive.
At Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Colombian actress, 39, told reporters she was misquoted when it was reported she went sans panties to the Golden Globes two weeks ago.

"I never said that!" she protested in the press room at the Shrine Auditorium. Her Modern Family costars barked back: "Yes you did!"
Explained Vergara, wearing a raspberry Marchesa fishtail silk satin crepe gown paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry: "I said they were Kmart underwear. No, I always wear underwear."
She clarified: "It is just that they are very tiny, and you could say there is almost no underwear, but they are underwear. But they are there!"
