“I got that white girl, that Lindsay Lohan/
And all you gotta do is ask Lindsay Lohan”

– Lil’ Wayne on USDA’s “White Girl (Remix)” [To all the hip hop purists out there -- yes, Wayne did just rhyme Lohan with Lohan. I don't approve of it, either, but that's besides the point right now.]

Guess you actually don’t have to ask Lindsay — she’s pretty open about it. Although, she is now claiming that the cocaine in her pocket was not hers, and actually belonged to a “friend”. However, from my understanding of celebrity, famous people have less-famous people carry their drugs, so the person that has Lindsay fucking Lohan carrying their drugs must be pretty damn famous. President Bush, perhaps?

If there’s anything positive to take out of this, I’d say that Lindsay’s mugshot is the cutest picture of her I’ve seen in a while. See, Lindsay — everything happens for a reason!

For you old school ML readers you may remember one of our more popular posts from the early days. It’s funny if you go back on our old blogger site entry there are still ignorant people commentating! Now I came across this today:

That’s some old Hollywood hag portraying Lionel Ritchie…WTF? His daughter thinks this is a cool/cute idea? What does he think of this? What do YOU think of this?

In hip-hop when you are called a biter it usually means you are biting someones style. Well this doesn’t seem to be the case when Suge Knight is involved. He physically bit Kevin Connolly (who plays Eric Murphy on HBO’s Entourage) at a post ESPY’s party while they were “horsing” around. Maybe this is just his way of showing that he isn’t going soft. Where is Mills Lane when you need him?

After over a month of rumors, speculation, and allegation, Atlanta Falcons’ QB Michael “Ron ‘Ookie’ Mexico” Vick — that’s right, now his nickname has a nickname — has been indicted for his role in a dogfighting ring that’s stretched throughout much of the eastern United States. The Smoking Gun has the court documents available for reading, because, well, that’s what they do. The most gruesome of details includes Vick’s alleged involvement in the execution of dogs, by methods such as hanging, drowning, and electrocution, on the Virginia property that he claimed to have never been at. Hopefully, Vick performs better in court than he does in the pocket.

When asked for a comment on Vick’s situation, ML’s legal analyst (who shall remain anonymous, in part because he hasn’t actually been informed of his position as ML’s legal analyst), had this to say:

“He’ll do more time than Paris Hilton.”

Hopefully, he won’t cry as much.

The next time you go out magazine shopping, or you find yourself near a newsstand with time to kill, be sure to check out the latest issue of Complex for a joint interview with Wu-Tang mastermind The RZA and all-around funny guy Seth Rogen. Complex’s website offers a preview of the article, which is unfortunately short, but just long enough to compare Method Man’s “torture” skit from Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers to Seth and Paul Rudd’s “Know how I know you’re gay?” schtick from 40 Year Old Virgin.

Looking at it now, getting these guys together seems like a no-brainer. For those who watched 40 Year Old Virgin with a keen eye, you may have noticed Seth’s character “Cal” sporting a t-shirt with the cover to The GZA’s classic album Liquid Swords screened on the front, and if you’ve gotten around to seeing Knocked Up as well (which I suggest you do if you haven’t yet), then you surely recall what song was playing during the opening credits — something about liking things “raw” or something. Meanwhile, the Wu have often flexed their skills in the realm of comedic acting, with real-life cousins RZA and GZA proving to be quite the formidable tag-team. Below, check out their classic “Wu-Tang Financial” sketch from Chappelle’s Show, as well as their scene with Bill Murray in Coffee & Cigarettes.

You already know we love our Washington post readings. Today they ran a profile of Suge Knight, it is filled with gems. First he is sticking up for Britney Spears; now Suge is making a reality show ( this has to be on HBO or Showtime for maximum enjoyment), but one of the baffling things is that he’s shifting focus of his music business to an R&B? Looks like Petey Pablo’s Death Row official album discography will be as extensive as Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes aka a big fat goose egg. The whole story is a good read, especially if you don’t know your Suge Knight biography. My favorite parts were when asked about his affiliation with the Bloods Suge says:

  ”Am I a Blood? I’ve got blood in my veins.”

 

If I’m ever questioned about being a crip member (highly likely) I will simply go “Am I a Crip? I have a crippled leg”. Towards the end there is an anecdote about Suge not helping his own nephew get into a Las Vegas nightclub, while taking the posse of his Nephew’s girls in. Classic.

WaPo will have an interview with Suge at noon on Monday, check it.

It’s been a while since we’ve written anything about Dave Chappelle, an ML all-time favorite. Seems he is contempt on just staying on the (relative) low-low.

Something that feeds into ML being cool with him staying out of the spotlight (don’t get it twisted, we would still pay a pretty penny for some fresh Chappelle material) is exemplified in the comments of the tmz entry where the same people that were saying YEAAAHHHH!! and in their Lil Jon voice a few years back have turned on Dave for… what exactly? 

Apparently, before you get to stand under Rihanna’s umbrella (ella, ella, ay, ay), you need Poppa Hova’s approval. According to People magazine, Jay-Z “screens” all of Rihanna’s potential dates:

“I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me… He’s very protective. Jay has my best interests in mind. If it’s a good guy I know Jay won’t shut him down. But if he’s not, Jay will be like, ‘No, no, no.’”

So young, so naive. Myself previously having been a potential suitor of Rihanna (… oh, just play along …) who has been through this so-called screening process, I’m calling “bullshit” here. I spoke to Jay about trying to set up a date, and I found out the real reason why he’s keeping tabs on the young star. And also, don’t think for a minute that Jay’s really spending time trying to “screen” dudes for Rihanna — I never even got to see Jay in person, only speaking to him through an intercom (on some Charlie’s Angels shit) and honestly, I don’t even think Jay was on the other end, it was just someone playing lyrics of his. Peep the transcript and see for yourself…

That’s what Eminem did… and to Michael Jackson, no less. [Pause for the customary "no homo"]

XXL reports that the “King of Pop” just purchased a portion of Eminem’s catalog, and now controls the publishing rights to some of Em’s most popular records. Jackson was first put on to purchasing publishing rights to music back in the ’80s by his buddy Paul McCartney, and he showed his appreciation to Paul by soon after purchasing much of the Beatles’ catalog, and later refusing to sell them back to Paul, greatly damaging their friendship. Last I heard, there might have been some negotiations between Jackson and McCartney to work something out, in the wake of some “legal fees” that Jackson has incurred in recent memory.

There’s lots of money to be had in publishing — money that Eminem might not need at the moment, but may be interested in several years from now. If Jackson wouldn’t mind losing a good friend over keeping his valuable Beatles’ publishing rights, I doubt that he’ll have much sympathy for Eminem — a man who dedicated an entire music video to mocking Jackson’s legacy, legal woes and lack of a certain facial feature used for smelling. [And if Jackson's purchase means that the planet will forever be rid of that godawful song, then I applaud Michael for his actions.]

First this, now we have Snoop hanging out courtside with young kids rocking thick ol’ gold ropes. If the Warriors made it to the next round Snoop was probably going to bring out Don Bishop for the games, it’s a shame.  PS looks like Snoop is quite the cali sports fan. Stanley Cup Prediction: Anaheim in 7.
