12-Year-Old Detroit Boy Kills 9-Year-Old Playmate
A 12-Year-Old Detroit Boy is being tried as an adult after alledgedly stabbing his 9-year-old playmate.
Check out the details below.
Jamarion Lawhorn a 12-year-old boy allegedly stabbed his 9-year-old playmate, Michael Verkerke, on a Michigan playground two days ago. According to Detroit Free Press, four children—including the young suspect—were playing at the Pinebrook Village mobile home park in Grand Rapids, Michigan when the preteen pulled out a knife and allegedly stabbed Michael several times in the back. A stunned Michael ran home screaming and collapsed on his porch, where his hysterical mother, waited for paramedics to arrive. A neighbor reported the following,
“We were sitting on our deck. We heard the kids run across the front … screaming. He (Michael) ran with the kids that were with him.”
“She (Michael’s mother) was screaming, ‘Where is the ambulance?’ while her boy was laying on the porch bleeding. The kids, I thought they were just playing.”
Another neighbor says she approached the 12-year-old who asked to use his cell phone. The boy was very calm as he called 911.
“I gave him my phone, and I heard him tell the 911 operator, ‘I just stabbed someone. Come and get me. I want to die.’ It was just a sad situation.”
“The only time he raised his voice was when the police came.”
When officers arrived on the scene, they first went to help a wounded Michael while the 12-year-old tried to get their attention by reportedly yelling, “Hello. I’m right here. You’re going the wrong way.”
Officers took the preteen to a hospital to be evaluated. He was later transported to a juvenile detention center. Investigators are still searching for a motive for the crime. The child pleaded not guilty to the open murder charge being brought against him in court yesterday. He is currently being held without bond and will be tried for the crime in the same manner as an adult, says Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Laura Clifton.
“This charging route was taken because if a juvenile is charged as a juvenile in juvenile court, the judge would have no option but to discharge at the age of 21,” she said.
Because he has been charged with open murder, if he is convicted, he will be eligible for a blended sentence.
“For example, a juvenile can have a juvenile disposition, the term used for a juvenile sentence, but also have an adult sentence that is delayed — basically held in abeyance,” Laura explained.
Wow! Story to develop!
Zoe Saldana in Cosmo for Latinas September 2014: My Kids Will Speak Spanish & English
She’s been all over the place with “Guardians of the Galaxy” promotions and her pregnancy news, and now Zoe Saldana is gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan for Latinas September 2014 issue.
After posing in a Julien MacDonald dress, the “Avatar” babe opened up about her children speaking Spanish and what she finds sexy in a man.
Check out highlights from Zoe’s interview below and for more, head over to Cosmo for Latinas!
On whether her children with husband Marco Perego will learn to speak Spanish:
“Of course [our children] will speak the languages that we speak; my sisters and I grew up learning French and speaking English and Spanish, and because of that, we’re able to understand Italian and Portuguese. But I’m going to have to make a conscious effort to speak Spanish to my children, because I speak Spanglish.”
On loving her age:
“At 35, you make better choices in men or partners, divorce people and situations that are not right for you, and learn to say ‘no’ with a smile.”
On what makes a man sexy:
“A man who has a natural respect for women – I don’t want a man who worships me: Stay away from those. Worshipping doesn’t count as really seeing me. I like men who work with women, are challenged by women, learn from women.”
On the most essential quality for a good sex life:
“To be uninhibited. I’m not talking about bringing in a third person or watching porn all night: That’s what leads people to believe they are amazing in bed when they’re the worst ever. Pornography is not sex education – it’s the opposite! Don’t allow insecurities to close you off. Be creative.”
On how being Latina affects her relationships:
“It’s one of the biggest factors about me: the fire, the passion, the “in your face” quality. I’m not going to say, ‘Whatever you want, whatever you say.’ I’ll say, ‘You know what I think? I feel this.’”
On debating whether or not to accept her now famous role in Avatar:
“When you’re younger and offered a part like that, you will have a moment of vanity, like, ‘Nobody’s gonna see my face.’ And at that moment you have to ask yourself, am I a celebrity? Or am I an artist?”

You Mad or Nah? New Music: Lil Kim “Identity Theft” More Shots at Nicki Minaj
Yeah, Kimberly Jones is trying to come for Nicki’s jugular with another single called “Identity Theft” and let’s just say Kim is taking it back Old school on us! How can you be beefin and breast feeding at the sametime.. Nicki has the #1 and #2 song on iTunes right now. I doubt she cares. I think the fact that Beyonce co-signed that verse and whatever was said about her got her stinging.
Bottomline if Kim wants to get Nicki in check, she needs to put out some quality music., stop with the BS shade and come out with a hit single, she simply looks like a bitter jealous older woman who’s mad that Nicki took her spot. Foxy couldn’t have said this about lil kim any better
“When you’re a boss bitch, you give it up. Send her a Chanel bag or something. If you’re winning, you’re winning. That’s just how I see it.”
- Foxy Brown on Lil Kim!
WHOA!

Lil Wayne sued by private jet company for nonpayment of more than $1 million in outstanding fees
Lil Wayne owes more than $1 Million to Signature Group for jet-setting lifestyle
According to a press release to media, Signature Group LLC, of Miami, Florida, has filed a lawsuit for more than a million dollars against popular rapper, entrepreneur and budding sports management agent, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., better known as Lil Wayne. The complaint states that Young Money Entertainment LLC and Dwayne Carter, president of Young Money Entertainment, owe more than $1 million in missed payments, fees and charges for leasing a Gulfstream private jet operated by Signature Group.
According to the complaint filed by Mrachek, Fitzgerald, Rose, Konopka, Thomas & Weiss P.A., on behalf of Signature Group, Young Money Entertainment and Lil Wayne have not paid their bills under their current lease agreement or otherwise for the greater part of 2014.
The complaint shows how Carter and his entourage used the aircraft throughout 2013 and 2014 for domestic and international flights for the purposes of business, including a European tour, and leisure, and in 2014 Young Money Entertainment, guided by manager, Cortez Bryant, and at the direction of their new business manager, started missing payments under the lease agreement and failed to pay in full the operating expenses relating to flights on the aircraft.
Lil Wayne and his management team requested several costly custom improvements to the aircraft to accommodate his unique lifestyle preferences consisting of satellite telephones, a custom bed and sophisticated medical equipment.
Right now, Dwayne Carter and Young Money Entertainment owe Signature Group more than $1,066,751.67 for fees and late charges under the lease agreement and the amount continues to increase until payment is remitted.
“We provided Lil Wayne and his Young Money organization with the service they desired and expected since 2006. We’ve mutually benefited from our longstanding working relationship and have had the pleasure of flying several artists under the Young Money Entertainment umbrella,” stated Kevin Parrott, owner of Signature Group LLC. “This suit could have been avoided if Young Money Entertainment paid Signature Group, as promised, before the upcoming 2014 Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour.
“We have multiple text messages from his management team, to Mr. Parrott, stating that they have ‘no money’ to pay the bills currently, contrary to the earlier and repeated promises to pay,” said attorney Scott Konopka, who represents Signature Group.
Signature Group has repeatedly attempted to communicate with Young Money Entertainment, by phone, in writing and even text message, but Young Money Entertainment will not communicate and that has necessitated this lawsuit.
Signature Group is seeking a trial by jury and damages against Young Money Entertainment and Carter, as well as interest and attorney’s fees.
Nicole Murphy SPOTTED On Vacay With Former NBA Star Jim Jackson…Amid Michael Strahan breakup
A new twist has been added to the on-going drama between “Live With Kelly & Michael” host Michael Strahan and “Hollywood Exes” star Nicole Murphy.
New pictures of the reality star have surfaced of her snuggling up with ex-NBA star Jim Jackson on vacay in the Caribbean LAST month. Yep…one month before the former couple announced their split. We can't post them here, but...
The twosome enjoyed a 3-day getaway at the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton in Puerto Rico on July 7th-July 10th. A source told TMZ that they were really affectionate with each other, hugging up on one another and KISSING. Chick sure moves fast.
We hear Nicole and Michael actually called off their engagement several weeks before the official announcement. Reportedly, back in July, she had a hunch that there was another woman. But it seems the relationship may have been over even before then, because last month Nicole was spending her free time cup-caking with this handsome baller. Hmmm... So who was cheating on who?
Other sources claim Nicole went to Puerto Rico with some girlfriends and just so happened to have bumped into Jim. Sources also allege Nicole and Michael were on a break during her trip, but claims she didn't think the relationship was completely over. Messy boots.
Guess we will see all of this play out on the next season of "Hollywood Exes."

Our intimate interview with Rita reveals a devoted artist, and the vulnerabilities she’s learned to expose.

Jay Z, Rick Ross & Dr. Dre – Win Legal Battle Against Gospel Group
Earlier this year, Jay-Z, Rick Ross & Dr. Dre were sued by gospel singers Clara Shepherd Warrick and Jimmy Lee Weary. The singers claimed the rappers infringed on their copyright by using their 1976 song “I’m So Grateful (Keep in Touch)” in the rappers song “3 Kings”. They even alleged that their song had been forever defaced by “unsavory language”.
The rappers fired back claiming the duo didn’t own the copyright to the 1976 song and that they signed over all rights to Universal Music, who gave them permission to use the song in their song.
The legal battle has been going on ever since, until the federal court judge came back with his decision on August 5th.
The judge stated in the order that neither Universal Music, Jay-Z, Rick Ross or Dr. Dre can be held liable for copyright infringement because the gospel group signed away their rights to the song back in 1976.
Further, the judge says that while Shepherd and Weary may have wrote the song with the intention to create spiritually uplifting music and hoped their music would continue to be used in that context, the agreement they signed doesn’t state anything about it not being able to be sampled in songs like “3 Kings”.
The order says that the rappers used the sample with full permission by the true copyright owner, Universal Music, and thus the lawsuit is dismissed forever and the gospel group is awarded NOTHING from their legal action. Take a listen to both 3 Kings and “I’m So Grateful (Keep in Touch)”.
