Times must really be tough if even the conscious rappers is slanging. Ok, to be fair, Lupe Fiasco wasn't actually charged with anything, but his business partner, Charles Patton, just pulled a 44 year bid on drug charges. During the trial Fed had taped phone calls of Lupe and dude discussing splitting whole "red ones" and "yellow ones." A witness for the prosecution, who was directly involved in Patton's drug operation, testified that the colors referred to the mixing and prepping of $10 heroin packets. Lupe said they were talking about mixing music tracks.

Steven Spielburg wanted Patti LaBelle to play Shug Avery in The Color Purple but she turned it down because of the same sex kiss between Shug and Miss Celie. Patti says, "I told Steven Spielberg I couldn't be in his film... I wasn't kissing a woman. I regret it because it was just acting. She (Shug) was in the tub, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. So after I saw the movie, I said, 'Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so nervous about doing something that's acting.' I should have shut up and just done the screen test and maybe I would have been Shug Avery."
Whoever said Tracy Morgan was drinking in Las Vegas is a dirty liar. Tracy's alcohol monitoring device hasn't detected any alcohol in his system. So while he may have been acting a fool in Vegas last week, it wasn't because he was drunk. Do those things detect weed?
