3 Men Caught In Alleged Plot To Attack Obama’s Campaign Headquarters

My president can’t catch as brake!!!

Three activists who traveled to Chicago for a NATO summit were accused Saturday of manufacturing Molotov cocktails in a plot to attack President Barack Obama‘s campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home and other targets.
But defense lawyers shot back that Chicago police had trumped up the charges to frighten peaceful protesters away, telling a judge it was undercover officers known by the activists as “Mo” and “Gloves” who brought the firebombs to a South Side apartment where the men were arrested.

“This is just propaganda to create a climate of fear,” Michael Duetsch said. “My clients came to peacefully protest.

On the eve of the summit, the dramatic allegations were reminiscent of previous police actions ahead of major political events, when authorities moved quickly to prevent suspected plots but sometimes quietly dropped the charges later.

According to authorities, the label is a front for a nationwide drug ring, specializing in the club drug Ecstasy. Members of the label, including several rappers, were charged with conspiracy to distribute ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, heroin and codeine cough syrup after a raid uncovered 45,000 e-pills, four pounds of crack cocaine, eight ounces of heroin and $200,000 in cash.

Sucka Free Records

In December 2011, former Houston independent record label owner Duane “Big Hump” Hobbs was arrested and allegedly exposed as being a key player in a large-scale drug network. Prosecutors claimed Lil Flip's former boss regularly distributed kilos of cocaine dating back to 1995. In late March 2012, Hump pled guilty to cocaine distribution charges. Hobbs faces a minimum of 10 years without the possibility of parole when sentenced.

NY Jets star Antonio Cromartie’s Wife Hospitalized After Sending Suicidal Text Messages….But wait there’s a TWIST!

The wife of New York Jets star Antonio Cromartie is in hospital after sending her hospital a string of suicidal text messages.
Terricka Cason Cromartie wrote in the messages to the footballer: ‘God forgive me, I don’t want to die. What have I done?’ and ‘I cut my wrists. I took those pills.’

But when police turned up at the couple’s Randolph Township, New Jersey address they found her alive and well in bed with her two daughters. A panicked Mr Cromartie had called cops from where he was staying in Miami immediately after receiving the desperate texts at around 3am on Sunday morning.

Terricka Cason Cromartie wrote in the message to the footballer: “God forgive me, I don’t to die. What have I done? and ‘I cut my wrists. I tool those pill.’ But when police turned up at the couple’s Randolph township, New Jersey address they found her alive well in bed with her two daughters.
The police were forced to break down two doors to get inside to Mrs. Cromartie using an axe and sledgehammer because there was no response when they rang the doorbell.
Mrs. Cromartie admitted that the texts had been a hoax, saying that she had sent them to her husband because she thought he was cheating on her, and that she never had any intentions of committing suicide.

In her jealousy Mrs Cromartie also messaged the woman she thought the pro footballer was sleeping with, trying to scare her off.
Mr Cromartie has ten kids, eight of them with seven other women, and the brood is set to get bigger – last month 31-year-old Mrs Cromartie tweeted that the couple are expecting twins.
Right now thought their daughters are in the custody of the child protection agency after their mother was forcibly taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Chico DeBarge Files for Divorce

Jonathan Arthur “Chico” DeBarge (from DeBarge) has filed for divorce … TMZ has learned.
Chico filed the papers in L.A. County Superior Court against his wife Andrea DeBarge, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to the docs, the couple was married in 1996 and separated in 2005. It’s unclear why the divorce took so long.

They have four children — but here’s the interesting part … Chico wants NO custody whatsoever, simply asking for visitation rights.
Two of the children were born before the marriage, and by the looks of the papers, Chico’s not convinced they’re all his — because he’s also asking to take a paternity test to prove he’s the daddy … that is, before he starts shelling out child support.

Calls to Andrea weren’t returned

Booby Made Keyshia Fire Manny?

Word around these Internets is that Keyshia Cole and husband Booby Gibson are going through a rough patch because Keyshia is pissed off at how things have turned out ever since Booby made Keyshia fire Manny Halley...
Last January Keyshia Cole announced via Twitter that she and long time manager Manny Halley were parting ways and quoted some anonymous source who told her, 'if the people around you won't change, change the people around you.

Now we know that someone was Booby.
According to Mouth to Ears Booby was jealous of Keyshia and Manny's close relationship and insisted she get rid of him. Keyshia is said to have gone through 8 managers since then.

With her career flailing Keyshia is headed back to reality TV in a desperate bid to revive her brand.

Ashanti’s ‘BraveHeart’ Delayed Again

Ashanti’ isn’t so BRAVE these days. Her ‘BraveHeart’ album has been pushed back yet again. The record, which had already been delayed once this year, will now be released in late August; more than two months from its previous June 19th due date.

‘BraveHeart’ will arrive in stores on August 28th. The album, which is preceded by the failed single ‘The Woman You Love’ featuring Busta Rhymes, was initially set for release on April 17th but it was pushed back to June 19th. However, with mounting competition from Justin Bieber, who will also put forward his ‘Believe’ LP on that day, Ashanti has opted for a change of schedule.

‘The Woman You Love’ has yet to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, despite numerous live performances of the tune by Ashanti. She has yet to announce a followup single for ‘BraveHeart’ or any plans for further promotion of the project.
Perhaps Ashanti is hoping to score a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 with ‘BraveHeart’ or simply needs more time to plan the promotional strategy for record, but these multiple delays will damage consumer confidence in the project. Indeed, each push back lessens people’s interest in the record and weakens her chances of landing the comeback that she needs.

Is running her own label drawing Ashanti too thin? If that is the case then she needs to decide if she wants to be a business leader or a recording artist because she is clearly having trouble doing both.

Lil Wayne Accused Of Assaulting Fan For Trying To Take A Picture

Lil Wayne might find himself back in legal trouble, all because he doesn't like to take pictures. The Young Money head is no stranger to lawsuits, and may have to open his wallet yet again, since he and his crew are under investigation for assaulting a fan who asked to take a photo.

According to TMZ, the alleged victim, Alfred Marino, approached Wayne while he was skateboarding with friends, a few weeks ago. After asking to take a picture, Marino was met with threats, that were later carried out. "Don't you know all it takes is a word and these motherf**kers are going to f**k you up?" he claims to have been told.
Marino says that he was hit from behind, and knocked to the ground. His lawyer, Craig Chisvin, promised that his client "will enforce all of his rights under the law and all individuals responsible."

While Weezy has yet to profess his innocence, or admit guilt, this isn't the first time he's gone at someone for taking a photo. In April he and his skateboard crew attacked a photographer for snapping flicks of the rapper in Miami.

John Travolta Suing The National Enquirer

John Travolta is suing the National Enquirer for claiming he tried to have oral sex with his deceased Grease co-star Jeff Conaway.

For almost two years, the National Enquirer has done cover stories on John Travolta and his alleged dalliances with men, but now Travolta’s attorney is going on the attack!
In the May 26, 2012 issue of the tabloid, Travolta is accused of targeting several male celebrities for sex including his Grease co-star Jeff Conaway.
Jeff’s former fiancee tells the Enquirer — that in a note written in 2006 for a failed suicide attempt — Conaway allegedly revealed that he awoke one day in the 90s to Travolta giving him oral sex.

Travolta’s pit bull attorney Marty Singer — who has helped Charlie Sheen and Arnold Schwarzenegger get out of tight squeezes– is attacking the tabloid and their sources. In a statement to RumorFix, Singer claims:
• National Enquirer, Star and Globe — all American Media Inc tabloids — “completely fabricated a false story with [John] Doe #1“ • “Vikki Lizzi, the late Jeff Conaway’s estranged girlfriend, has been a regular paid source for the AMI’s tabloids”
• “Why did this story surface only now, after the AMI tabloids sparked a frenzy with its bogus Doe #1 story, and a year after Mr. Conaway’s death when he is no longer around to refute it?”
• “The Enquirer’s sister publication Radar has said that Vikki Lizzi and Jeff Conaway were estranged and had a ‘roller-coaster relationship’ that was ‘on and off for years’ with assorted accusations, police reports, domestic violence allegations and restraining orders. Significantly, AMI’s Radar reported that Mr. Conaway’s family obtained a restraining order to legally bar Vikki Lizzi from his hospital room.

Despite this, AMI continues to recklessly go back to the same well to pay for more negative stories about my client.”
