Before Lil Wayne is sentenced on felony gun charges this month, he talked with Rolling Stone about his impending jail time.
"I didn't know I was gonna be going to jail," Wayne told the magazine for its upcoming issue. "This happened at the height of my career! Nobody knows the future."
While Weezy couldn't foresee his future, he now knows that he has to do what has seemed unfathomable to him for more than a decade: take a break. The MC… Continue
The New York-born MC (real name: Juaquin Malphurs) was shot in the arm in what he said was an attempt on his life, not a random burglary as police initially said.

The cast of "Avatar" is feeling blue.
The box-office behemoth may have gotten nine Academy Award nominations this week, but none were for its actors - and "Avatar" director James Cameron thinks the Oscar snub is totally unfair.

T-Pain, who won an award in the rap category last night, said he was using his famous auto-tune effect for the very first time live at the show. And he wasn't thrilled about the result – at least compared to Jamie Foxx's use of it. (The two appeared together on "Blame It"). "Wow I sound terrible next to him," Pain admitted, "he was perfect."
Pain was just as blunt about which artist he wants to produce next. "I will not work with anyone until I… Continue
It was a classic tale of famous boy meets famous girl — they fell in love only to have the music industry come between them. Fantasia said her two-year relationship with Young Dro dissolved because she couldn't focus on her career and be in a relationship simultaneously.

Apparently the magazine talked to some friends of the two, who claim they got back together a few months ago.

FORT LAUDERDALE - It was an expensive bird.
Jets coach Rex Ryan, who flipped off rowdy Dolphins fans at a Mixed Martial Arts event Saturday night in nearby Sunrise, Fla., was fined $50,000 Tuesday by the team.
The NFL also is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy, but since Ryan already has been disciplined by the Jets, an additional fine by the league appears unlikely.
