Lil Wayne Loses QD3 Lawsuit

According to TMZ, a LA jury ordered Lil Wayne to pay Quincy Jones III 2.1 million dollars for blocking the release of The Carter documentary.

Lil Wayne never showed up in court for his trial.  The day he was supposed to testify he was a no-show because he had suffered several seizure-like episodes and was prohibited from flying.  As a result, his lawyer was left to show the jury Wayne’s deposition, in which he refuses to answer questions and mocks the proceeding.

Alt-J (@alt_J) Wins Mercury Prize (@MercuryPrize)

Really? From New Statesmen:

Last night, Alt-J was awarded the most prestigious prize in music for their debut album ‘An Awesome Wave’. The 2012 Mercury Music Prize was scooped by the Leeds-based foursome who had, ironically, become the bookies favourite to win in the run-up to the event.

The ceremony marked a revamp for the iconic prize on its twentieth birthday. There was a change of venue – Camden’s Roadhouse, change of presenter – Lauren Laverne, and broadcaster, as the event was shown on Channel 4 for the first time after the BBC lost its long-term partnership.

As well as the prestige of being awarded the distinguished prize, the band received £20,000 in prize money and will be able to anticipate a boost in sales, even as much as “five or sixfold” according to HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo.

The woman claims Mr. Green slipped a drug in her drink at a LA restaurant back in July prior to finding herself naked in bed with him the next morning.

Sources involved in the case represent to TMZ  … Cee Lo is on tape, repeatedly apologizing and referencing MDMA (Ecstasy) — though he does not specifically say he put it in her drink.  Sources say Cee Lo told her he thought the drug would help them have an exciting time together.  For the record, MDMA generally does not render people unconscious.

Sources connected to Cee Lo tell us … the accuser went to a civil lawyer BEFORE going to police and demanded money from the singer to make the whole thing go away. Other sources tell us a different story — that her lawyer called Cee Lo’s manager to find out if the singer had any communicable diseases and never made any money demands.
