Boxing Champion Mike Tyson Banned From Entering The UK

From the Independent:

The former heavyweight world champion and convicted rapist Mike Tyson has been banned from entering the UK, forcing the last-minute cancellation of a promotional tour.

The boxer was due to arrive this week for London appearances including a book signing for his new autobiography Undisputed Truth, and a question-and-answer session set to take place in a boxing ring.

Yet under new UK immigration rules, anyone with a previous conviction resulting in a jail sentence of more than four years is barred from entering the country.

Tyson, 47, served three years of a six-year term in the 1990s after he was convicted of raping a teenage beauty queen.

The controversial former boxing star also has convictions for assault, cocaine possession and driving under the influence.

While at the peak of his powers he famously bit opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear, went bankrupt, lost his four-year-old daughter in a tragic domestic accident, and was jailed.

Tyson’s publishers had been promoting the tour as recently as Friday, when his official Twitter account posted the challenge: “So, UK fans, who is brave enough to get in the ring and ask me a question?”

A spokesman for HarperCollins said: “There was a change in the UK immigration law in December 2012 of which we were unaware. For this reason Mike had to change location to Paris to salvage his press obligations for the UK.”

The boxer also has a number of dates booked in Britain for next year which could now be jeopardy. He had been set to bring his one-man Broadway show, directed by Spike Lee, for eight nights across the country in March.

Tyson had been the subject of a Change.org petition calling for him to be banned from entering the UK ahead of the theatre tour in light of his rape conviction.

Yet some Twitter users said they disagreed with the Home Office policy in the boxer’s case. The British broadcaster and CNN talk show host Piers Morgan wrote: “Can’t believe @MikeTyson has been barred from entering Britain. He’s a changed man, with a powerful message. Ridiculous decision.”

A Home Office spokeswoman said: “We would not comment on the details of an individual case.

“We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone who is convicted of serious criminal offences.

“In December 2012 we toughened up the rules on entering the UK, replacing the previous discretionary approach with a clearer, stronger framework including mandatory refusals based on the length of, and time since, sentence.”

VIDEO/PICS: Meek Mill’s Delaware Concert Ends In Gunfire, 4 People Shot

December 11, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  


Vibe Reports:

Over the weekend (Dec 8.), Meek Mill held a concert in Wilmington, Delaware, and everything was going smoothly until the concert ended and gunshots rang out.

It’s widely believed that there was more than one shooter, but police have yet to arrest anybody or identify suspects. Fortunately, nobody lost their life but four people were injured, though none critically.

“State police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack says that when troopers arrived at the Moodswing Niteclub in Wilmington just before 2 a.m. Saturday, about 600 to 700 people were in the parking lot trying to get away from the shooting. They were running and in their cars.

Troopers said they could hear multiple gunshots by more than one shooter being fired within the crowd that was there to see the popular rapper. Shavack says two victims were treated at the scene and taken to hospitals and friends took two others for treatment. “

The FBI Can Activate Built-In Laptop Cameras Without Users Even Knowing

December 11, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

According to an allegation in a Washington Post article about the search for a bomb suspect, the FBI has found the ability of turning on your built-in computer cameras, without triggering the camera light that let’s you know it’s recording.

Complex Reports:

According to Marcus Thomas, the former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division, this kind of stealth spying is restricted to investigations that involve terrorism and/or the “most serious” criminal cases. But even if innocent civilians aren’t being targeted, just knowing that the agency has the technology to carry out this kind of spying is a terrifying prospect.

The newspaper also claims that the FBI uses malware to introduce surveillance software to targets’ computers. The practice was given the OK in at least one case by a federal magistrate. The same judge, however, nixed the use of sneaky camera spying on the grounds that it was “extremely intrusive” and could represent a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Mac Miller & Pharrell’s ‘Pink Slime’ EP Is Still Happening

December 10, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

kendrick-pharrell-mac-miller-busta-rhymes

Last year, we heard the announcement of a collaboration project between Mac Miller and Pharrell Williams titled Pink Slime (we even heard a track from the project)….and then everything kind of went cold (this is only speaking in terms of their collab; both artists have been pretty hot as of late).

Now, Mac Miller has rekindled the fire in a recent Rolling Stone interview:

Miller now reveals the Mac-Pharrell project is back on. “We actually just talked a couple days ago,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I’m going to go see him [in Miami] and we’re going to finish it and put it out. Because the shit’s ill and people want it. We both had pretty wild years. We gotta do it!”

The rapper anticipates Pink Slime will drop by the end of 2014. “All we gotta do it sit down for a few days and knock out songs,” he says. Recording at Williams’ studio in Miami, he adds, is a reward in itself. “It’s refreshing,” Miller explains. “[In L.A.] I’m in this dungeon, my little cave that’s this weird-ass looking place that I just live in. And then to go to Miami, it’s just so nice to see natural light and a pool and happy things. It’s good.”

Tulisa & Mike GLC Charged With Class A Drugs Offence

December 10, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 1 Comment

From BBC News:

Singer Tulisa Contostavlos is to be charged “with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs”, the Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed.

“We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction,” Baljit Ubhey, London chief crown prosecutor, said.

The 25-year-old was arrested in June after the Sun claimed she introduced a journalist to a drug supplier.

In a statement, her lawyer said she would plead not guilty.

“In due course Tulisa will give a full answer to these allegations in court,” said Ben Rose, claiming the case had been “manufactured” by a “greedy” newspaper.

“This case is not simply about drug supply,” he went on. “It is about the limits which we set on the conduct of journalists.”

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has also charged Michael Coombs with supply of class A drugs.

The 35-year-old, known as rapper Mike GLC, was arrested along with Ms Contostavlos on 4 June.

“A man and a woman have today, 9 December, been charged in relation to an investigation into the supply of class A drugs,” the MPS said.

“They have been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on the 19 December.”

In its original report, The Sun claimed that half an ounce of cocaine changed hands as a result of the alleged deal.

The Sun said its investigation into the singer was “entirely justified in the public interest”.

A spokeswoman for the newspaper said: “Ms Contostavlos is a self-described role model for young people and therefore has certain responsibilities. Throughout our investigation, our team followed the Press Complaints Commission Code and then handed over our dossier of evidence to the police.

“Allegations about the conduct of this newspaper made by Ms Contostavlos’ lawyers are entirely without foundation.”

Sharkeisha Arrested (Details)

4umf reports:

The Harris County sheriff’s office said the foulmouthed bully was arrested last Thursday on charges of assault with bodily injury.

They didn’t identify her because she’s a minor.

The Nov. 19 attack allegedly started because of a dispute over a boy, ShaMichael’s family told Houston’s KHOU-TV. The sickening footage has since gone viral, inspiring snarky, shark-themed memes and a popular Twitter hashtag.

“The video’s just going and going,” ShaMichael ‘s mother, Olevia Henderson, told KHOU-TV.

“They’re making jokes, and they’re taunting. They’re glorifying the girl Sharkeisha, but they’re taunting my daughter at the same time.”

On the day of the attack, ShaMichael, a senior at Cypress Creek High School, said, she was lured to an apartment complex thinking she was going to pick up some of her stuff from friends.

She told KHOU-TV she had no idea Sharkeisha was upset with her.

“I was just in shock. I was like, ‘Oh my God. Did she really do this?’ You’re supposed to be my close friend,” she told the station.

“We were talking in school earlier that day,” she said. “She made it seem like there was nothing wrong with her. The vicious beating left her with a black eye and a split lip. Her mother told KHOU-TV she’s had trouble seeing out of one eye.

Video of the attack, meanwhile, has reportedly been viewed nearly 12 million times, according to KHOU-TV and other sources. ShaMichael and her mother said they are humiliated and wish the video would disappear.

“I’m going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life. How would you feel if that was your daughter or your son and it happened to them, how would you feel?” Henderson said.

After the death of Nelson Mandela, Kanye West logged onto his Twitter to address the rumor of him dishonoring the former South African president (in a recent interview, Kanye West said ‘I am Nelson Mandela”).

Respect to Mandela, his family and his legacy. Despite recent media reports, I’ve never said anything to dishonor or trivialize the life or transition of one of the most inspiring leaders. I’d like to address the false stories and noise that have been engineered by the media. At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind. Thank you, Mandela, for your life’s work and may it serve as a guiding light to illuminate our future.

U.S. Military Aircraft To Aid Central African Republic Mission

December 9, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

From CNN:

American military aircraft will begin flying African and European peacekeepers into the Central African Republic, which is in the midst of a bloody internal war between various proclaimed Christian and Muslim militias and other rebel factions, a U.S. official tells CNN.

Defense Department officials expect to announce the decision on Monday. The action is in response to a request from French and African Union peacekeepers.

Troops will be flown from Burundi to the Central African Republic capital of Bangui, which has been wracked with violence.

The American military also expects to fly in some French troops, which are working to secure the airport and disarm some militia members.

The United States will provide security for its planes, but there is no indication on the number of troops involved. The operations is expected to be relatively small.

Violence on the ground, which has included machetes, knives, rifles and grenades, will be a “big factor” in any U.S. operation, the official said.

“It’s a concern,” the official said.

The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a resolution last week authorizing military intervention by an African Union-led force backed by French troops to protect civilians, restore humanitarian access and stabilize the country.

Mexican Teen Destroys Her Genitals After Repeatedly Injecting The Drug Krokodil Into Her Vagina

December 9, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

I’m not going to mess up your lunches, so if you care to know more of the Russian drug Krokodil, we posted on that here. From Huffington Post:

Public authorities in Mexico shared details of a gruesome case of the flesh-eating drug krokodil, the first to be officially reported in the state of Jalisco.

According to José Sotero Ruiz Hernández, an official with Mexico’s National Institute of Migration, a 17-year-old girl in Puerto Vallarta presented lacerations to her genitals that she said were caused by her addiction to krokodil.

“The young woman who used this drug had an infection that had rotted her genitals. It wasn’t sexually transmitted. She said she’d been using krokodil for the last two months,” Hernandez said, according to a Huffington Post translation of Mexican newspaper El Periodico Correo.

The woman told authorities that the drug was readily available on street corners. Hernandez added that the drug has also been reported in Mexico City.

Krokodil is a street drug with effects similar to heroin that is made by cooking crushed codeine pills with household chemicals. It is significantly cheaper than heroin, and reportedly ten times as potent. However, the impurities in the drug damage vascular tissue, which causes the flesh to rot.

Uncle Sam Hits MC Hammer For Back Taxes — To The Tune Of $800K

You would have thought that we would never hear about MC Hammer in money troubles again….but here we are. From TMZ:

MC Hammer just got touched in a big way by Uncle Sam … for failing to pay almost $800K in back taxes … according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The Feds sued Hammer, née Stanley K. Burrell, and his wife Stephanie … accusing them of stiffing the IRS to the tune of $798,033.48 on his ’96 and ’97 income taxes.

Mind you, Hammer’s heyday was in the rear view mirror at that point — he released a greatest hits album in ’96, and after that … well, let’s just say there were zero pumps or bumps.

And get this … according to the docs, every red cent Hammer’s LLC earns from now on has to go directly to the U.S. treasury to pay down his tab.

A safe and effective male birth control pill may be inching closer to reality, according to researchers.

Vlad TV Reports:

This pill apparently prevents sperm from leaving a man’s body during intercourse, but doesn’t damage his remaining sperm, nor does it alter his hormones which has been an issue regarding past attempts as male birth control.

So far, tests have only been conducted on male mice apparently, however all tests have come back positive. According to reports the mice became 100% infertile for a temporary period of time after taking the pill, but were later able to still mate and create healthy mice offspring.

Fantasia’s Married Lover Baby Daddy Goes Back To His Wife

Eurweb Reports:

The split from Barrino, which happened earlier this year, is said to have happened so that Antwaun Cook could go and work on his marriage to estranged wife, Paula, according to RadarOnline.

Wow! Wonder if Fantasia feels like a fool yet?

According to a source close to the situation, the only reason Fantasia had the baby, whose name is Dallas, was as insurance to keep Antwaun in check.

Didn’t work.

RadarOnline spoke with the source who said, “Antwaun’s father passed away the week of Father’s Day and they were really close, so since then he’s been wanting to work on his marriage.”

But the thing is, the couple never divorced.

“Technically he’s still married to Paula and they’re back together now. The only tie he still has to Fantasia is his son, Dallas.”

In November 2011, Fantasia testified during a separation hearing between Antwaun and Paula that she had previously been pregnant by him and had an abortion.

“She kept this one to keep him,” the source told Radar. “Antwaun and Paula spent Thanksgiving together at his mother’s house in Wilmington,” the insider revealed, solidifying that they’re back together…And in November they went on a trip together with a bunch of friends to the Bahamas for a birthday. Antwaun doesn’t really talk to Fantasia much anymore except about their son.”
