Juvenile Arrested For Marijuana Possession In Louisiana

Rapper was pulled over for speeding on Saturday. By Shawn Adler Juvenile Photo: Gershoff/ Getty Images Rapper Terius Gray, better known as Juvenile, was arrested on Saturday night in Louisiana for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, according to The Associated Press. The former member of the Hot Boys was reportedly pulled over for going 75 mph in a 65 mph zone. Subsequent to his arrest, Juvenile was released after posting a $750 bond. He has a court date on April 1. The arrest is the latest in a string of legal troubles for the “Drop That Thang” MC, who was arrested twice before on drug charges, once in January 2003 and again in February 2010, both times in Louisiana. Juvenile was also arrested in summer 2002 for assaulting his barber. Juvenile was the focus of unwanted attention in the aftermath of the sudden and violent deaths of his 4-year-old daughter, the girl’s mother, Joy Deleston, and another child at the hands of Deleston’s then 17-year-old son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. in 2008. The rapper was criticized for choosing not to attend his daughter’s funeral. “You don’t get over things like that. That’s something that goes with you for the rest of your life I’m not even comfortable talking about it. I stayed away from the press, everybody had a million questions,” Juvenile said of his daughter’s death in a 2009 interview. “I’m not even comfortable talking about it.” Related Artists Juvenile

Liam Neeson As Hollywood’s Newest Badass: ‘Unknown’ Co-Stars Explain

Diane Kruger and January Jones say actor’s ‘body of work and gravitas as an actor’ add a new layer to action films. By Shawn Adler, with reporting by Kara Warner Diane Kruger and January Jones Photo: MTV News He may have broken in with roles in sword-and-sorcery flicks like “Excalibur” and “Krull,” but how in the world did the Oscar-nominated man best known for his quiet, dramatic work in films like “Schindler’s List,” “Nell” and “Kinsey” suddenly become film’s most believable, in-demand 60-year-old badass? It’s precisely because of his previous work, “Unknown” co-stars Diane Kruger and January Jones insisted to MTV News. “I wanted to be in this movie because of Liam really,” Kruger said. “Especially this kind of film. … I think because of his age and because of his body of work and his gravitas as an actor, I think it brings a whole other layer of depth to this kind of film. It feels fresh. It feels like, yes, it’s entertaining and it’s light, but there’s a whole other layer of emotions and character work going on.” Two years after Neeson rocked audiences as a super-talented assassin out to save his daughter in “Taken,” the Irish thesp is back to kick butt and take names in “Unknown,” a neo-Hitchcockian thriller about a man bereft of an identity after a car accident leaves him unsure of who he really is. While unquestionably dangerous and capable, here Neeson also has to play fragile and flustered. It’s a dichotomy that doesn’t just show up in his film roles, January Jones argued, but in the man himself. “He’s such a perfect casting choice for this movie, because you could be intimidated by him physically because he is fit and could cause you harm,” the future Emma Frost told MTV News. “But at the same time there’s something so vulnerable about him in certain things he says and certain things he does that makes you want to take care of him, there’s both sides of that. You could believe that he could be a bad guy, but you could also want him to succeed.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Unknown.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
