Restraining Orders

Speaking out about the restraining order against him

I focused on restraining orders, they are laws that prohibit certain people, or types of people, from doing certain things. Generally this happens in the entertainment industry when a celebrity has had enough of someone, from stalkers to ex-husbands the world of Hollywood has seen it all. Forming connections with people is the cause of these cases in most situations; why take a restraining order on an individual who has no connection to you in any way? Though these orders are not to be taken lightly, in the world of Hollywood everything comes with a air of carefreeness; these are generally dropped or settled for some dollar amount. Welcome to Hollywood.

DMX


Crazy Ass Motherfucker
Crazy Ass Motherfucker

Just The Facts

  1. DMX is scary
  2. DMX is scary because of his criminal record
  3. DMX's music is scary
  4. There is always the feeling of impending rape when speaking to DMX

Who He Be

Everyone learns about a musician in different ways. Some of us hear a particular artist on the radio and then illegally download their entire musical catalogue, while others are introduced to a musician or band by friends before engaging in the sort of internet piracy that is (apparently) destroying our beloved country. DMX is one of those rare stars, those shimmering beacons of celestial talent, that is more likely to be on the Channel 5 news at 11:00 than MTV. Unlike other shocking acts (like the opiate of the wigger masses, Insane Clown Posse), DMX actually backs up his bat-shit insanity with some ability-- according to the Wikipedia article that we are more or less plagiarising, he has sold over 28 million albums. How do we know this is accurate? Because anyone who disagrees with us doesn't have the typing speed to thwart our wiki-editing skills.

Craziest Rapper The'e Is

Supposedly Mr. X (Mr. D? Mr. MX?) started his career to escape from the harsh realities of being a huge black guy, and also as a chance to cause even more havoc with the money from his album sales. Because, trust us, nothing buys more blow than 28 million records sold...except of course maybe 29 million records sold. Regardless, D-to-the-M-to-the-X (or Earl, as we like to call him) has probably snorted more free blow off of a dead hooker's ass than you will ever be able to afford if you neglected food, shelter, and hentai and spent our entire paycheck for the rest of your life on yay.
As a younger, (perhaps) less-angry black man, D-mizzle-X-izzle was diagnosed with the dreaded bipolar disorder, which, while it is a real affliction that countless wacked-out crazies unfortunately suffer from each year, is also a really good excuse to take the Gary Busey train to Bat Country. His name reflects this "subtle" brooding behind his image (and also a secret love of comic books), since DMX stands for "Dark Man X". That's right, you heard it here first- DMX is a goddamn superhero. But a gritty one, like the Punisher. Not some whiney cunt like Superman.
DMX is so bat-shit, Freon-drinking crazy that God didn't want him. That's right- God...the biggest G the'e is. Rumour has it (and by rumour we mean Wikipedia) that DMX was trying to retire to break into the gospel/preaching racket, when he was told that he should wait for God to make perfectly clear that preaching is his calling. Religion couldn't even save this crazy bastard, so what hope do the rest of us have?
He also has an extensive criminal record (which by now only the mouthbreathing readers wouldn't have figured out) which includes such gems as animal cruelty, reckless driving, cocaine possession, marijuana possession, identity falsification, criminal impersonation, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, menacing (whatever the fuck that is), drunk driving, claiming to be a federal agent, car jacking, and (sweet Jesus!) driving without a license. While most of us call that a rap sheet, DMasterX calls that a Friday night.
No wonder that he implores God to "give [him] a sign" and that since the last time they talked "the walk has been hard". If we were jacked up on every drug we could find while speeding down the road pretending to be a fed while torturing animals, we would find walking to be less than exciting, too.

Music

There is more to the beast than simply his antics, however, dear readers, and you would do well to remember it. Whereas the random word (What! Ye-ah!) shouted in rap music or a shout-out here or there is nothing groundbreaking, DMX has taken it and transformed it into an artform. Now, you might be wondering why Robin Hood's esteemed bear friend Little John doesn't receive this title, and that would be because you should have gotten off your lazy dissenting ass and written this damn article yourself if you wanted to write about your rapper, you dirty bastard.
For instance, in the first minute and 45 seconds of his song about grammar, "Who We Be", Mistah DMX shouts random shit in the background a whopping 42 times...and the song is 4:25 seconds. We just couldn't keep going. This doesn't even include the incessant "duhDuhduhDuhduhDuh" that is heard during the chorus of the song as DMX, one must imagine, tries to sort through the powder and bong resin clogging his brain to remember what a time signature is.
Similarly, in the three and a half minute "Lord Give Me a Sign", Dr. MX manages to verbally ejaculate upwards of 50 times.
And let's face it, the intrigue of his music doesn't just derive from his love of random words, there is more operating under the surface. There is, firstly, the voice that could only be caused by years of screaming at ho's while smoking phat blunts, his intimidating personality, or his just-plain-scary song lyrics, which will inform the careful listener that if "Niggaz wanna lie" then said niggaz will subsequently "die", or that "bitches talkin paper, then how they wanna rape us". That's right-- not only did he rhyme "papers" with "rape us", but he throws that seemingly random fact out just to keep you off guard-- DMX doesn't want you getting comfortable.
So, the next time you are leaving the afterwork bar after a long day in the IT department and a beer or two with your fellow pencil-pushers and you get in the car to blast some of those mad beats that make you feel so gangsta, son, remember that DMX's actual life makes a rap video look like a day in the life of Jebediah P. Quaker.

Oprah's Sex Discrimination

Oprah winfrey has been hit with a sex discrimination lawsuit by a former employee. Former senior director Carolyn Hommel filed a lawsuit after taking time off to have her baby and lost her job. She claims her work performance was exemplary and she was on her way to becoming the Vice President. While on leave for being ill and maternity her responsibilities were taken over by a temporary employee and Hommel was told she would have to re apply for the Vice Presidents position, which she never got. The charges include sex and pregnancy discrimination, the networks failure to prevent discrimination, and willfull failure to pay wages on discharge of termination. So either they should not have fired her because of the pregnancy or maybe she really just wasn't that good at her job.

Online Gambling

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill legalizing internet gambling. They included a ten year trial period for online betting, and raising the taxes on the Atlantic City casinos online winnings from 10 to 15%. New Jersey is the third state to legalize gambling over the internet. Now I might be be wrong, but this seems like a very bad idea. First of all it makes it much easier for addicts to gamble, and with all the advertisements through the internet that can constantly show advertisement. Second of all, hacking. There will always be a hacker that will find a way on the internet.

Charlie Sheen Pulls A “Charlie Sheen”: Threatens His Associate With Shotgun

Back in 1990 Charlie Sheen accidentally shot his then-girlfriend Kelly Preston, and only 19 years later he threatened his wife Brook Mueller with a knife to her throat after a Christmas Ever fight in Coloradio. #Winning? Looks like Charlie may have found himself in a bit of more trouble

A former associate of Sheen  has recently filed a report with the LAPD claiming that Sheen threatened to shoot him to death with a Super 90 semi-automatic shotgun, reports TMZ.

The man claims he is deathly afraid that Charlie will murder him after the two had a recent falling out.

Sheen reportedly sent a text message to a mutual friend, stating: “I’ll blow his head off with my Super 90.”

But a source close to Sheen tells TMZ the accuser is “a dishonorably discharged military person with multiple probation violations who is trying to shake him down for money.”

The case is currently under investigation.


Now here we see that Charlie sheen keeps getting into trouble, 

now if this was anyone else being accused or even convicted of such things like these wouldnt stand a chance in court and would go directly to jail and/or prison. I honestly think that charlie sheen shouldn't b able to have a gun or any weapon tht cld cause any kind of distruction. but yet he still gets them. but does he buy them legally after these + many other charges tht he has picked up in the past 5yrs?(especially with weapon charges)?

Taylor Swift reportedly sued for keeping $2.5 million from canceled concert






Taylor Swift is allegedly being sued for $2.5 million funds that she collected in 2012 August from a concert that never took place.Not only the fans were hurt by her absence the pockets of many venders also took the blow.  TMZ reports state that The Capitol Hoedown in Ottawa, Canada was canceled due the producers inability to get everything organized before the date of the show which lost a ticket company quite a large sum of a money. Swift's actions are appalling and a bad example for the industry of entertainment. They emit a disengaged commitment to the laws that allow entertainers to do what they do.  The company is suing the country star for a $1.8 million refund. Swift's representative has said that she has yet to make a deal with the company or to even see the lawsuit.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested Again (2007)

Lohan's mug shot from July 2007 for driving under the influence.
Lindsay Lohan had another run in with the law (2007); she allegedly hit someone with her car while intoxicated. The law here falls under drunk driving (which is currently illegal) which is a state law, overseen by the federal system, which is backed by highway funding.
Why should Lindsay get away with multiple brushes with the law and still be allowed to roam free, while civilians elsewhere get their license pulled immediately?
Her income and name allows her to be exempt from the law and gives her the ability to not take responsibility for her actions and their repercussions. Even with her, then current, probation she is able to escape consequences and live an apparently extravagant lifestyle with minimal worries; the mugshots apparence seems to cause more problems than the actual committed crime.

Galliano's Hitler Rant

John Galliano has spent the last month working with Oscar De La Renta most likely trying to better his career after the hitler rant that went viral. Christian Dior fired Galliano after the video was released of him making racist and anti sematic comments while at a restaurant in France. Some of the comments that were made were about their mothers and forefathers would have been gassed and that he loves hitler. Galliano appeared at a police station shortly after for the accusations, apparantly making anti sematic remarks can get you up to 6 months in prison in France. Natalie Portman, who is the spokesperson for the Dior brand, is Jewish and said she would not be associated with him anymore. Galliano was brought on to De La Renta's team as a temporary employee. De La Renta believes that someone so talented deserves a second chance.

Gospel Music Heritage Month



So I guess some people want to make a bill to have a month to recognize gospel music. Even though I'm not particularly religious I think it would be a cool idea. I feel like here in America we don't have much background, because it's just a mix of other backgrounds from other places. Gospel music is a part of our culture and it'd be cool to recognize it a little.
