Kate Middleton Hospital Prank By Australian DJs Backfires; Nurse Commits Suicide

December 7, 2012 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

You can read even more on the situation here and check out the audio of the prank here. We also previously reported news of Kate Middleton’s pregnancy. From TMZ:

The two Australian DJs at the center of the Kate Middleton hospital prank have gone RADIO SILENT since news broke that the nurse at the hospital committed suicide … TMZ has learned.

The DJs are under serious fire after pulling off a stunt where they pretended to be the Queen of England (fake voice and all) and duped nurse Jacintha Saldanha into connecting them to the people treating Middleton, who revealed details about Kate’s condition.

Saldanha’s body was discovered early this morning … and cops believe it’s an obvious suicide.

TMZ called the Australian radio station where the DJs work … and were told by the executive producer that the DJs will NOT be taking any calls, period.

The E.P. explained … the DJs have been “ordered” not to speak to the media. It’s unclear who issued the order.

The producer added, “I advise you to stop trying to call them.”

December 6, 2012 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

Report From HipHopenquirer

After beating a 1st. degree murder case and then pleading guilty to smuggling drugs into a prison sources close to his camp have confirmed that Torrence Hatch better known as Lil Boosie, a chart topping Baton Rouge recording artist will in fact be released from prison in less than 60 days because as they classified it, he was setup on the drug charge. His legal team immediately jumped into high gear once he accepted the plea after realizing that his plea was made under duress.

Investigators said he tried to smuggle drugs into Dixon Correctional Center once and into Angola State Penitentiary twice. However according to the source, the rapper admitted earlier that he had a substance abuse problem and that a police informant offered to provide him with “syrup” and of course if you offer a drug addict drugs he’s going to accept it, especially in a controlled environment like prison.”

He is expected to walk out of prison in mid-February of 2013.

Well-Known Publicist Max Clifford Arrested For Sexual Offences?

December 6, 2012 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 1 Comment  

I thought this was interesting. From The Guardian:

Max Clifford, one of the best known publicists in Britain, has been arrested by officers investigating sexual abuse claims against Jimmy Savile and others.

The Metropolitan police said on Thursday morning that officers working on Operation Yewtree arrested “a man in his sixties” at his Surrey home at 7.04am “on suspicion of sexual offences”.

Clifford, 69, is the arrestee. He has been taken to a central London police station for questioning.

He is the fifth person to be arrested since the investigation was launched following revelations that Savile had abused underage girls both at the BBC and several hospitals including Stoke Mandeville and Leeds General Infirmary.

Scotland Yard refused to comment on the identity of the arrestee, but in a statement said: “The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed ‘others’.”

From Bossip, so take it with a grain of salt….still some spicy hot news, though:

Kelis is keeping a secret. The father of her son is former football player Wale Ogunleye not Nasir Jones. After adult freaky tape allegations leaked featuring Kelis and a man other than her husband she decided to become pregnant to save her failing marriage. She though it would take a few months for her to conceive but she was pregnant within a month. She and Ogunleye were having an affair and things happened so quick she was uncertain of the child’s paternity. That’s why she refused to allow Nas into the delivery room and refuses to allow him to visit her son without her or the nanny. Her son has striking features he inherited from his biological father who is of Nigerian decent. She just recently purchased a foreclosure in Glendale California, and is desperately seeking a sponsor. She fears losing another property she has had two foreclosures and two evictions since her divorce. Ogunleye has since upgraded and is now dating Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child.

Katt Williams Slaps Target Employee In The Face

December 2, 2012 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

Reports TMZ:

Katt wasn’t done after leading cops on a crazy three-wheeled chase through Sacramento on Sunday — because moments later, he hit up a Target … where he belted an employee IN THE FACE … and TMZ has footage of the face-to-hand contact.

There’s no audio, so we can’t tell what the argument is about — but by the looks of the employee’s body language before the wallop (placing his hand on his chest) the guy wasn’t looking for a fight.

Then out of nowhere Katt winds up and slaps him in the face — at which point the employee pulls out his phone and, according to an eye witness, he calls police.

Video of the aftermath surfaced on the Internet this week, showing Katt making his getaway in an electric cart … before police arrive. We hate to say it, but it’s hilarious.

According to sources at the store, Katt then ditched the electric cart and got back on his three-wheeled motorcycle. He was not arrested.

We spoke to a rep for the Yolo County DA’s office, who tells TMZ, the case is currently under review … and charges have not yet been filed against the comedian.
