Larry Bird’s Son Arrested For Trying To Hit Girlfriend With Car
From TMZ:
According to campus police, the alleged victim told cops Bird chucked a cell phone at her during an argument at Bird’s apartment … and it struck her in the wrist.
Later that night, the woman says she got into Bird’s car to head to the stadium when they started arguing AGAIN — and she got out of the car to walk home.
But according to the woman, Bird began to chase her through the parking lot in his car — trying to run her over.
The woman says she got help from another person who happened to be in the parking lot — and they flagged down a cop.
Campus police quickly located Bird — and he was arrested for intimidation with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief, battery with injury, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia.
It’s not Bird’s first run-in with the law — he was reportedly arrested in 2011 for underage drinking and disorderly conduct.

In addition, Chris Brown still has to verify his hours or face the wrong end of a probation violation. From TMZ:
Bryan Norwood, Chief of the PD in Richmond, Virginia, was intimately involved in certifying Brown’s community service hours — hours the L.A. County D.A. claims were never performed. Norwood was instrumental in removing Brown’s case from the Richmond Probation Dept. and placing it squarely in his hands. Norwood also wrote a letter to the court vouching for Chris … claiming all of his community service had been performed.

Wale Speaks On Kelly Clarkson’s Back-Handed Comments To Miguel
Wale didn’t like Kelly Clarkson’s statements about Miguel on Sunday at the Grammys. At a post-Grammy dinner, Wale gave his thoughts on the red carpet, Katy Perry, folks showing the gas face when they didn’t win and much more. In addition, Wale came to Miguel’s defense (below).
“I didn’t like the Kelly Clarkson back-handed comments to Miguel. I didn’t like that at all. I just feel like our urban music is belittled, a little bit. Not trying to offend nobody on the committee, but for a record as big as ‘Adorn,’ and it to not be presented as a real performance onstage; it was almost like a segue to an award. Again, I don’t want to offend anybody on the committee, but that wasn’t a very good representation of our music because ‘Adorn’ is gonna be around for the next 30 years.”

J. Cole – Truly Yours (EP)
J. Cole just blessed us folks with some new music as he continues to ready his 2nd official effort. Very necessary:
It’s time. I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album. And I have. Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) .
Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul.. The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born Sinner
PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.
