It seems like The Game may have not been in a fight with Brandon Jennings. It may have been somebody in the club and Game was just there. I guess that explains why they were both allowed to stay in the club. Jennings says he was sucker punched, but didn’t say it was The Game that hit him.

THE DRAKE…

Looks like Drake is getting ready to blow it out of the water with his first week. 725,000 copies. I guess he was kind of right about some of the stuff he was saying to Kendrick.

ITS JIMMYYYYYY!

Did you see the Kanye West interview with the BBC? I just left it alone. There was a lot of talk about his vernacular and how bleached it sounded. But I just left it alone. Jimmy Kimmel did not. Below he did a kid version of the weird interview.

Fail of the Day: Chinese Man Grows Nose on His Forehead

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A man in Fuzhou, China had to have a new nose grown on his face, says Reuters. The man neglected an injury to his biological nose after a traffic accident in August 2012, so doctors had to grow a new nose on his face to replace the damaged cartilage in the old one.

The nose was grown by replacing a skin tissue expander on the man’s forehead, cutting it into the shape of a nose and planting a cartilage taken from his ribs. Doctors say the surgery to transplant it will take place soon.

So, once the surgery is over does this mean they’ll cut the new nose off? Will he then have a scar on his forehead?

This all sounds extremely painful. This is why people should just go to the doctor right away.

Meloney Selleneit of Centerville, Utah admitted to convincing her husband to shoot the man she says telepathically raped her. Yeah, you read that right. Her husband, Michael Selleneit, shot their neighbor after believing her claims.

Via the Huffington Post:
Court documents obtained by both papers show that Meloney Selleneit convinced her husband that Pierce had ‘telepathically raped’ her on several occasions.

“She told Mr. Selleneit to ‘go ahead’ and shoot Mr. Pierce,” according to Meloney Selleneit’s arrest warrant, obtained by KSL. “Defendant also admitted that immediately before the shooting, as Mr. Selleneit stood at the door of his trailer preparing to shoot Mr. Pierce, defendant told Mr. Selleneit to ‘go for it.'”

Meloney is accused of illegally obtaining the gun used in the crime and her husband apparently believed that the neighbor in question was having sex parties with her and using crack cocaine to control her mind.

As far as the “telepathic rapist,” he was shot once in the back and survived though he complains about back pain.

I’ve got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careerson a record.

Busta’s sequel to his 1998 Extinction Level Event will also include collaborations with Kanye West, Q-Tip, Lil Wayne and Mary J Blige who will appear on the next single, “You Will Never Find Another Me”.

(AllHipHop News) DMX is one of the most prolific rappers of all time and equally as prolific in procreation. During his upcoming interview with Dr. Phil, the Yonkers native spoke on father 11 children(with another on the way) and his missed child support payments.

When Dr. Phil asked if DMX was $1.23 million in child support debt, X reasoned his debt stems from his dwindling yearly income:

Yes I am [behind in child support]. The reason being, at the time I was making $13 million a year. So if I’m making $13 million a year then I can pay that. I haven’t made that in about 10 years so of course I’m behind in payments. But the children are taken care of.

DMX’s 2003 Grand Champ album was his last album to be certified platinum by the RIAA.

The full Dr. Phil interview premiers today (September 24th).  A clip from the interview can be viewed here.

There’s also some beef afoot, of course. Word on the street is that  Ramona Rizzo, Carla Facciolo and Karen Gravano won’t be returning to the show. Renee has love for Karen but she seems to be insinuated that Rizzo and Facciolo are money hungry.

At least there’s no love lost for Karen on Renee’s part but it’s kinda thick for the other  two.

Rihanna innocently posted the photo you see to her instagram page during her recent trip to Thailand, and now folks might be going to jail. Bad Gyal Ri Ri stopped in Phuket where she got a hold of a slow loris, a primate that is native to Southeast Asia and listed as a protected species.

AP says that Thai authorities were alerted to the photo and launched an investigation that led to a 20-year-old man and a 16-year old boy. Two lorises were confiscated from the pair who could also face charges of possession of protected animals. The charge carries a punishment of up to four years in jail and a 40,000 baht ($1,300) fine.

Authorities in Thailand have been working for years to crack down on vendors exploiting wildlife in popular tourist areas. So, if you’re headed to Thailand any time soon, you might want to think twice about taking photos with the animals. Just go to the zoo instead.

Artistic FreeDoom: Two Tunisian Rappers Are On The Run From Police For Dissing Them In A Song

(AllHipHop News) In January 2011, the people of Tunisia successfuly revolted against dictator, former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his oppressive rule. Two years later and two rappers have been sentenced to 21 months in prison for performing a song critical of Tunisian police.

Tunisian rappers Ahmed Ben Ahmed (Klay BBJ) nd Ala Yaakoubi  (Weld El 15) were arrested at an August 22nd concert after police stormed the stage following their performance of a song which compares police to dogs. The rappers are being charged with insulting the police and harming public morality.

NPR spoke with Ahmed’s mother, Um Ahmed about her son being on the run and she revealed that the two rappers were beaten while in custody and were never informed of their trial date which resulted in them being sentenced to a year and nine months in prison.  “Why did we have a revolution? For freedom of speech, for dignity,” says Um Ahmed.

The non-governmental research and advocacy organization, Human Rights Watch’s Tunisia researcher Amna Guellali spoke on the change in artistic freedom following the Tunisian revolution:

Slowly and increasingly, we see a restriction and shrinking of the space for media and for freedom of expression through the prosecution of artists, bloggers, journalists, et cetera under the penal code,
