Rick Ross and Young Jeezy Brawl at BET Awards; Shots Possibly Fired

Rick Ross and Young Jeezy got seriously into it at the BET Hip Hop Awards last night, with sources even telling TMZ shots were fired between the parties in the parking lot after the ceremony. Here is what reportedly went down: The rappers verbally and then physically assaulted each other backstage, forcing BET security and bodyguards for both to step in and separate the rivals. The altercation then spilled into the parking lot, though reports differ on what went down from there. A spokes person for the Atlanta Police Department confirms that “shortly after 7:15 pm Saturday, a fight broke out in the parking lot at the Atlanta Civic Center between two groups. “Atlanta Police Department officers on scene responded to break up the fight and used OC spray in the process. Individuals fled the scene. There were no arrests or reports of serious injuries. Reports of shots fired appear to be untrue.” HOWEVER, a TMZ insider maintains that a member of Ross’ entourage did, indeed, pull out a gun and fire it at least once. 50 Cent also allegedly didn’t get along well weigh some rapper named Gunplay at the event. Says a BET rep, vaguely, about the various incidents: “Due to some misjudgment of select attendees, it is unfortunate that certain incidents took place. BET Networks does not condone any type of violence. Local authorities are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.”

Take It To The Head: Doctors Believe That A Cure For Baldness That Actually Regenerates Hair Could Be Developed Very Soon

Listen up Naomi ! Scientists Believe A Cure For Baldness Will Be Developed Soon They are already talking with pharmaceutical firms about making the product, which would work by stopping the effects of a single guilty enzyme. US-based dermatologists announced earlier this year that they had found that an enzyme, called prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), instructed follicles to stop producing hair. They identified it by screening 250 genes implicated in hair loss. George Cotsarelis, head of dermatology at Pennsylvania University, said the one responsible for levels of PGD2 played “the major role”. He said he was now talking with several drugs firms about creating the anti-baldness product. Hope you’re listening too Shaffer ! Drugs are already available that reduce PGD2 levels, as it has been implicated in asthma, holding out the hope that developing a related product for baldness could be speedy. About four in five men will experience some degree of baldness by the age of 70. In bald patches follicles are still making hairs, but less well than before. The hairs get shorter and shorter until they are either barely visible or do not even break the skin’s surface. Cotsarelis and colleagues found that in 17 men with hair loss, PGD2 levels were three times higher in bald spots than in hairy areas. When the original study was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine in March, he said: “We really do think if you remove the inhibition [caused by PGD2}, you get longer hair.” He said the finding raised the possibility of not only stopping hair loss, but of bald men also being able to regrow full heads of hair. Des Tobin, director of the centre for skin sciences at Bradford University, described the advance as “a big step forward”. He said: “I can’t see why we won’t soon be able to intervene to prevent hair loss.” This is the best news Lebron James has heard all day!

Another Day, Another Arrest: Atlanta Hawks Player Popped For Refusing To Move His Car

What the hell?? Atlanta Hawks reserve forward Josh Powell was arrested before Saturday night’s game at Philips Arena after police say he repeatedly refused to move his car that was blocking an ambulance. The Riverdale High School graduate was charged with failure to obey an authorized officer directing traffic, failure to yield to emergency equipment and obstruction, Atlanta Police spokesman Curtis Davenport told the AJC. According to police, Powell was attempting to turn onto Park Avenue West from Marietta Street late Saturday afternoon but was unable to do so because of heavy traffic caused by this weekend’s SEC basketball tournament. Powell’s car was blocking the clogged intersection, making it impossible for the ambulance to proceed, Davenport said. “The officer approached Mr. Powell’s vehicle and told him numerous times to go straight through the intersection … [he] refused and was placed under arrest,” Davenport said. Powell, 28, was not in uniform as the Hawks took the court early Saturday evening against the Portland Trail Blazers . The seven-year NBA veteran signed with Atlanta last summer after winning two championship rings as a back-up forward/center for the Los Angeles Lakers. Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche said the organization was made aware charges had been filed against Powell but declined additional comment. Wow. SMH. Was it really even that serious??? Source
