Over the weekend, Aubrey, who now raps under the stage name 'Drake' had to cut short his Chicago House of Blues concert because of a shooting. Fortunately no one ended up in a wheelchair, but one guy was shot in the ass.

The Lawsuit Will Go On
The lawsuit to stop Micheal Jackson's London concert series is moving full steam ahead. AllGood Entertainment had a meeting with Michael and Joe Jackson and several others at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday and tried to work out the issue. If you'll recall, Mike signed an agreement to perform with his brothers and sister Janet last year [click here] and the contract forbade Mike to sign any contract for 18 months. After backing out and signing on to do the London series AllGood objected. Anyway, the sticking point is the concert was supposed to be pay-per-view and Michael hates that format and refuses to do it.
