Smooth criminals
What a week for the rap world. Lil Wayne was released from prison on Thursday after serving eight months for weapon possession. T.I. went back behind bars on Monday for violating his probation after being arrested for possessing ecstasy in L.A. His wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, could spend a year a prison for the same crime. Can you say birds of the same feather flock together? It is a shame to see a talented person like him continually fall through the cracks. Man, forget the crocodile tears. Learn some responsibility. You don’t have to be Dr. Charles Drew to know if you make dumb choices and violate your probation, you will see cell blocks again.
Tuck ‘em, Miss Janet
Janet Jackson recently admitted the “painful” price of becoming a superstar. Jackson said during an interview with ABC News the insecurities about her body began when she played Penny on “Good Times.”
