Justin Timberlake's Bodyguard Goes to Jail


The guy who protects the singer may have gone too far.



Justin Timberlake may be beating folks down in his upcoming film In Time, but it's his bodyguard who gets in fisticuffs in real life.

The Sun reports that while the Friends with Benefits actor was on his way to have dinner at Nobu in London with his costar Mila Kunis, the man he pays to have his back was kicking the crap out of some sorry paparazzo, literally.

A big man in a suit is shown standing over a cowering man who's already down on the ground.

Around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, police were called to the scene for an alleged assault.

Although the cameraman didn't need medical attention, a spokesperson for Scotland Yard told The Sun, "Officers later arrested a 45-year-old man at a central London hotel on suspicion of common assault. He is being held at a central London police station. Enquiries are ongoing."

Justin Timberlake didn’t just make any old ordinary comeback to music last week, he made history. The pop star, who hasn’t released an album since 2006, saw his new single "Suit & Tie" climb the Billboard charts at a record pace.
On its way to debuting at No. 14 on the Billboard 100 chart, the Jay-Z-assisted song recorded the highest first-week plays total in the charts 20-year history. According to Nielsen BDS, which monitors mainstream Top 40 radio airplay, "Suit & Tie" garnered 6,045 spins for the week of Jan. 14 to 20. That mark eclipsed the previous high of 4,602 set by Lady Gaga’s "Born This Way."
JT also claimed the crown for the highest-debuting song by a male artist on the Pop Songs charts. Digital sales of the single came in just over 310,000 for the first week.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Rumors Won't Stop

From property to life insurance policies, the latest Kimye gossip.


Kanye West, Kim Kardashian
If the amount of gossip written about you is an indication of your popularity, then Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are flying high.

The couple has been grabbing headlines ever since announcing on December 30 that they are expecting their first child, and rumors about their relationship and future are in overdrive. Kardashian, who is still legally married to her estranged husband Kris Humphries, is said to be "furious" over his refusal to grant her a divorce and will likely still be married to him when she gives birth in the summer.

Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com reports that Kim's momager Kris Jenner is trying hard to get her hooks into Kimye by attempting to convince the couple to buy a house close to the family compound in posh Hidden Hills, California. “Kris is desperate to be close to Kim during her pregnancy, so she hand-picked a property for her daughter and Kanye."

However, the Kardashian family matriarch may find Kanye harder to persuade than her other sons-in-law. A source claims Yeezy's simple reponse was, "over my dead body." The parents-to-be have reportedly bought an $11 million mansion in Bel Air, California, about an hour away from the Kardashian compound.

The rapper and his baby mama's mama do, however, agree on one thing: life insurance. Once again, RadarOnline.com reports that Jenner insisted Kanye take out a $10 million policy, naming Baby Kimye as the primary beneficiary and Kim as secondary. "Kanye is absolutely on board," a source reveals, adding, "Kanye is in perfect health but travels a lot and performs all over the world, sometimes in not so safe locales."

The expecting couple have also reportedly decided to take a vow of privacy when it comes to their baby, refusing six-figure offers for exclusive pictures and claiming Baby Kimye will not be a part of Kim's many reality shows. This goes against E! Network's statement that the channel "looks forward to sharing the joy" of Kim's pregnancy and birth on-camera.

Thankfully, the constant rumors and gossip can't seem to wipe the pregnancy glow from Kim's face. While she describes pregnancy as "difficult," Kardashian says she is "so happy" to be expecting her first child with her boyfriend of nearly one year.

Future Gushes About Relationship With Ciara

Future

The rapper says, "She makes me happy, I make her smile."

For those who still questioned how true those rumors were, Future recently confirmed that he and Ciara are an item. From the sound of things, the man is definitely smitten by the singer. During an interview with Atlanta's Posterchild J1, Future talked about how incredible Ciara is and says that they've been making each other happy both in and out of the studio.

"She's a beautiful woman, amazing, incredible, everything that comes with those words, that's what she represents," Future said. "I can tell you, all the negativity that comes with me and her is not true. Our personal lives is our personal lives. Sometimes people present it like it's true and they think they have facts, but at the end of the day, we know what's true and we know what's not true and anything negative from that situation, we [are] not even representing that. What you see is what you get."

"We are at a time where, I am on Epic, she's on Epic, I love music, she loves music. And we love being in the studio with each other. We love being around each other and that's just what it is. The chemistry is there. It's amazing. She makes me happy, I make her smile."

Future also addressed the negativity in regards to rumors about an alleged ex-girlfriend/baby mama, but said that if they can move past that, then his relationship with Ciara will have a chance to grow into something special.

"I believe at the end of the day, once the media passes over and all of the foolishness goes past, we gon' be able to be good. And we gon' be good. It's only comments, rumors and certain speculations. As long as we have that understanding, no one can ever come between us."

Now that the child’s paternity is definite, Future has agreed to be legally recognized as the father and will pay $1,662 a month in child support. He will also foot the bill ($889) for the DNA test.
The "Same Damn Time" rapper has been in the news as of late due to a rumored romance with R&B singer Ciara.

Whitney Houston’s Brother Admits to Introducing Her to Crack


Michael Houston makes painful confession about his late sister’s drug use.



Michael Houston, Whitney Houston
For years Bobby Brown has been blamed by the public for causing Whitney Houston’s battle with drug addiction, but last night the person really responsible for introducing the singer to drugs came forward.
In his first televised interview since his sister’s passing almost a year ago, Michael Houston confessed to Oprah Winfrey that he played a major role in Whitney’s introduction to drugs. During his appearance on Oprah’s Next Chapter, Michael owned up to being the first person to do crack cocaine with his sister back in the 1980s.
Houston blamed their use of the drug on the free-wheeling Hollywood party scene that didn’t eschew such activities during that time.
"You gotta understand at the time…the '80s…it was acceptable," he explained as he sat next to his weeping mother, Cissy.
"It’s painful…I feel responsible for what I let go so far."
Michael admits he turned to drugs to help him cope with his sister’s death, but he has now been clean for the last three months.
Whitney Houston drowned to death in the bathtub of a Beverly Hills hotel on February 11, 2012. The coroner’s report revealed that heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors to her passing.

Frank Ocean Busted for Marijuana Possession, Speeding

Singer avoids arrest, but receives citations for infractions.



Frank Ocean
After a breakout year in 2012, Frank Ocean has gotten off to a shaky start in 2013. California police popped the Odd Future crooner on New Year's Eve for marijuana possession and speeding.
Ocean was pulled over for doing 90 in a 65. During the traffic stop police detected the scent of weed emanating from the luxury BMW. Upon searching the vehicle they found a small bag of marijuana in the car. They also discovered that the singer was driving with a suspended license.
Though he was not arrested on the scene Ocean was cited for marijuana possession, driving with a suspended license and for having tinted windows. Though the police took the "Bad Religion" singer's driver's license, they were kind enough to give him a ride home for his troubles.
