Tulisa’s PA Threatens To Kill Reporter Over Drugs Scandal

ay_111410123-e1371203860553

From Metro:

Tulisa’s best pal Gareth Varey has allegedly been quizzed by police after threatening to kill a reporter who exposed the singer’s reported involvement in a drug deal.

Tulisa was allegedly caught aiding an £800 cocaine deal at the start of this month by an undercover reporter who also filmed the meeting.

And in an early morning email, Gareth allegedly sent a vicious message to the undercover reporter, writing: ‘I’m going to kill you bitch.’

But when police were called, Gareth 27, admitted sending the email and apologised for it before he was formally cautioned, according to The Sun.

Last night Scotland Yard’s Major Crimes Unit said of his email threat: ‘Mr Varey was issued with a police caution over this allegation. He apologised.’

Chief Keef’s Camp Speaks Out On Recent Arrest

Earlier today, Chief Keef was arrested (again) after leaving Skokie, IL where he was in traffic court. Courtesy of FSD, Chief Keef’s camp explains what happened this afternoon below.

CHICAGO POLICE USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ARRESTING CHIEF KEEF

Keith Cozart was arrested this afternoon around 12:30 P.M. after leaving traffic court. The 17 year old rap phenom, Chief Keef, road about 4 blocks from the Skokie Courthouse when his vehicle was pulled over. His manager Rovaun “Dro” Manuel was driving when two unmarked cars cut the vehicle off. Present were Chief Keef, Dro, Mike Starkman, and Ballout. Mike Starkman says six officers armed with AK47’s hopped out of the cars to extract a compliant Cozart. Keith Cozart was arrested on charges of misdemeanor trespassing and taken from Skokie back to the south side to be processed. It is not normal practice for police to come from the south side armed with AK47’s to arrest a person on misdemeanor trespassing charges, but clearly Chief Keef is a special young man that garners special treatment from the Chicago Police Department. Hours later, amidst jovial officers with no sense of urgency, Chief Keef is still being held waiting to be processed. So special they just wanted to keep him around for a little while longer.

Rumors: Lil Boosie Facing Another Murder Charge?

AHH Reports:

I got a bombshell of a rumor. Remember last month, I told you how Boosie was on his way home soon. And then I got rumors that said he’d be home sometime in the summer. Well, I have some new insider info on how they are moving on Boosie. First of all, people thought the boy Boosie was in the clear because he was acquitted of murder in one case. But, I am hearing there are two others on deck that they have not charged him for yet. But, they have witnesses and prosecutors on deck to bring Boosie right back into the legal gumbo he’s found himself in. From what I heard, they are simply going to charge Boosie with one charge at a time. This one still has him in jail. Soon as he is about to get out on his one, that he was acquitted for, boom! Another one. They get that guap from him and really stick it to him every step of the way in every way. One of the witnesses has turned his life over to God and says that God told him to tell the truth in these cases. That includes telling on Boosie.

FSD Reports:

We just received word from Keef’s camp that the rapper has been arrested yet again. Keef was in traffic court in Skokie, IL this morning, and was given probation, community service and a hefty fine for last month’s speeding charge. But upon leaving the courtroom, Keef was arrested by Chicago city police on unknown charges. He is currently being detained on the southside.

This story is developing, and we’ll keep you posted with further details when they become available to us.

Allen Iverson Accused Of Kidnapping His Kids?

Bobcats_76ers_Basketball_06f65-8658

Reports TMZ:

Tawanna Iverson just filed legal docs, claiming Allen recently asked for permission to take their five kids on a short vacation to Charlotte, NC from May 22nd-May 26th (and Tawanna agreed) but when May 26th rolled around, the children hadn’t been returned.

The kids range in age from 3 to 16 years old.

In the docs, Tawanna says she tried to set up an exchange on June 4th at a neutral location — a nearby Target store — but A.I. never showed up.

Tawanna — who has sole legal and primary physical custody of their children — now believes Allen never took their kids to Charlotte at all … and is currently keeping them at a Sheraton hotel in Georgia.

Tawanna claims she’s especially concerned because Allen’s an alcoholic who drinks around their kids.

She now wants the court to force him to return the kids … and punish him as well, even suggesting the judge throw his ass in jail.

It’s not the first time she’s tried to get Iverson locked up … she had previously begged the court to send him to the pokey for allegedly not paying more than $40,000 in child support.
