He was eventually was arrested in Cowetta County. The NYC rapper was reportedly a backseat passenger in a car cops pulled over Thursday night. The Sheriff’s department is reporting that instead of stopping, the car accelerated. During the chase, the car struck a deputy’s vehicle before stopping. Per TMZ : Jones and three others were reportedly in the car. Deputies allegedly found marijuana, oxycodone, Percocet, vape cartridges, THC oil, 2 loaded pistols and “petty” cash. One of the pistols was stolen, according to cops. Neither Jones nor his friends admitted possession of any of the items … but Jones said he had a prescription for the Oxy and Percocet pills. Jones also told cops he told the driver to pull over, but she was acting “incoherent.” Since no one claimed the paraphernalia … everyone was busted. Jones was charged for possession of the stolen gun, possession of a firearm during commission of a crime and possession of narcotics … all felonies. He also got a misdemeanor for the prescription pills not being in their original container. Yikes! Jimmy was released on $7,000 bail. Do you think he was (allegedly) popping all those pills recreationally???

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

(Photo Illustration by Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via Getty Images) Time Warner Scores Content Deal With Snapchat Just when we thought Insta Stories killed Snapchat , the platform is coming back strong with help from a mega media player. On Monday Variety reported that Time Warner has struck a $100 million two-year deal with Snap, the company behind Snapchat, to produce as many as ten original shows for Snapchat per year. As part of the agreement, Time Warner also committed to buy ads for HBO, Turner, and Warner Bros. on Snapchat. “This is an exciting and natural move as we bring together some of our leading video properties and brands with Snapchat’s dynamic platform,” Time Warner marketing EVP Gary Ginsberg said in a statement. “We’re confident this partnership will help drive larger audiences to our shows and to the new direct to consumer platforms we continue to rollout.” “This partnership is another exciting step as we continue to branch out into new genres, including scripted dramas, comedies, daily news Shows, documentaries, and beyond,” said Snap’s VP of content Nick Bell. The comedy and drama shows Time Warner plans to produce will be short, only 3-5 minutes each. In March Snap made a deal with MGM to produce original short-form video. The company also has deals with ABC, NBC, ESPN, the NFL, Turner, the BBC, Vice Media, A+E Networks, and Discovery Communications, among others. The deal with Time Warner will help the platform increase the amount of original content available on Snapchat. The company currently publishes around one new original episode per day but hopes to increase that to three new episodes by the end of 2017.

Exclusive: Memphitz Off The Hook In Armed Robbery Case

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Reality Star Accused Of Robbing Car Wash Employee Mickey “Memphitz” Wright has gotten off easy in a case where cops said he pulled a gun out on a car wash employee he believed had stolen weed from him. A judge Monday agreed to toss the producer and reality star’s felony armed robbery charges after prosecutors decided not to move forward with the case. As recently as April, prosecutors offered Memphitz a plea deal of 10 years behind bars and 15 years of probation. But the former husband of Lil Wayne’s ex-wife Toya Wright rejected a plea deal and decided to take his chances at trial. If he was convicted, he could have faced 20 years in prison. Following the dismissal, Memphitz took to Instagram to gloat about his win. “I’m Free!” he wrote on Instagram. Cops said Memphitz pulled a gun on a car wash employee and accused the man of stealing marijuana out of his Jeep after he took it there to have it cleaned. Memphitz was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, according to court papers. We reached out to Memphitz’s attorney for comment.

Prince Harry Wants to Make Princess Diana Proud With AIDS Charity Work

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Prince Harry spoke about his charity work Wednesday night in South Africa, and of his late mother, who instilled the passion in him for giving back. Princess Diana worked to help those with HIV/AIDS, and now Harry, 28, is doing the same in the tiny kingdom of Lesotho, where he’s visiting now. The younger Prince of Wales observed the work of the charity Sentebale that he set up with friend Prince Seeiso in memory of their late mothers. Harry said he hoped both mothers would be looking down with pride. “I hope she would be proud of what we are trying to achieve in her name,” Harry said of Queen Mamohato Bereng Seeiso. “I hope my mother will be proud, too.” “Maybe, just maybe, they are together somewhere up there, with blueprints and sketches already mapped out! I can only hope we put the swings in the right place.” “Talking about HIV and understanding it isn’t dangerous,” Harry said on a more serious note at the dinner. “Denying it, or not knowing about it, definitely is.” Harry, who made news earlier this week by being linked to socialite Cressida Bonas , sensed that their efforts were beginning to have an effect. “We are now seeing many of these children begin to fulfill their ambitions and realize dreams that once seemed completely impossible,” he said. “Our aim and hope is that we can influence a continued decline in the transmission of HIV and increase life expectancy, in a unique way for Lesotho.” “By addressing the psychological and social needs of the next generation, the future of this very small and beautiful country, and its magnificent people, could and should be very bright.” Whatever you think of the brother of Prince William and brother-in-law of Kate Middleton , it’s impossible to argue with those words – and his actions here.
