Last week, Vanilla Ice finished yet another B-list celebrity reality show, "Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge." While it seems that Mr. Van Winkle will perpetually show up on these types of shows from now on, the memories of the good ol' days still lurk in our collective early-90s unconsciousness. Today, we take a look back at his life and career via video.

The Killah was planning on releasing another solo LP, The Big Dough Rehab, on December 4th, but then the Wu-Tang Clan delayed their upcoming release, The 8 Diagrams, to that date.

That's not all he's pissed off about. Somebody had better get this man his cash money.

During Maroon 5's concert in New York City Wednesday night, Kanye West came out for a special version of his song "Heard 'Em Say" (which uses the hook from M5's "Nothing Lasts Forever").

If Scarface had never been made, Rocky would definitely be the poster most frequently found in rappers' houses, right?

The nominees for the American Music Awards have been announced.



Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Daughtry and Linkin Park lead the way with 3 nods each. Here is the full list, along with some predictions.

It's time to take the Louisville Slugger back from Carrie Underwood, the duo of Capitol/Priority Records is about to release a new Eazy E compilation featuring some of the dudes best collaborative work.

Featuring ... Eazy E will include collaborations between E and Ice Cube, MC Ren, Dr. Dre, Mack 10, Ice-T, Bone Thugs and DJ Quik.

According to the Pop Song Handbook, any song that reaches a certain level of success get its own Lil Mama rap remix. Britney's "Gimme More" just hit #3 on the Billboard Charts, so this was pretty much inevitable.

Surprise, surprise, it looks like Lil Wayne's drug-related imprisonment was nothing more than "a little mix-up." Funny, seems like celebrities always find their way into these little mix-ups.

 

Wayne's lawyer, Stacey Richman, blamed the incident on his previous lawyer, who had apparently told the New Orleans-based rapper that the charges were dismissed. Somehow I feel like this means there wasn't a follow-up call. You'd think if you had Atlanta cops on your tail you'd make damn sure to resolve whatever issues remained, especially after that DJ Drama incident.

"At first, I wasn't sure if this was my child. Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."



This is what Diddy told the New York Daily News about his now-confirmed 6th child, a 15-month old daughter named Chance. Diddy had the baby with an Atlanta woman named Sarah Chapman. Isn't it funny this kid's name is Chance? As in, there was a Chance the dad could've been Diddy, or there was a Chance the father could've been a waiter at the Atlanta Waffle House...

When I heard Beanie Sigel was going to surrender to police for not returning a rental car for more than a month, I was confused. Last I checked, dude was riding high on a deal from Roc-A-Fella.

Beanie, whose license is suspended, was charged with theft and unauthorized use of an automobile after renting a Nissan Altima from Payless Rental Car in Philadelphia during late-July. It was due back on August 13 but never returned. Not gangster.

I guess Lil Wayne's constant reminders that he loves drugs have finally paid off, but probably not how he intended. Weezy was arrested Friday after a concert in Idaho and charged with drug possession after Georgia police accused him of possessing a controlled substance.

Wayne was not eligible for bail, due to the "nature of the charges" - whatever that means - but he's supposed to show up next week at BET's Hip Hop Awards. In the immediate future, I'm more concerned that Weezy might start tweaking if he's not let out of there soon. Somebody do something.

Most people in jail seek out some clean underwear, an occasional visit from friends and family, and an escape path from anal rapists.



James Sabatino, however, has bigger aspirations. The currently-incarcerated Sabatino, a former consultant for Diddy's Bad Boy Records, has filed a lawsuit against Diddy. Sabatino claims that he recorded 17 minutes of vocals and 90 minutes of video footage with Notorious B.I.G. in 1994. After Biggie's death in 1997, Diddy purchased the recordings from Sabatino for $200,000. However, according to the lawsuit, Diddy only paid $25,000 of that.

So this lawsuit should be for around $175,000, right?
