R.I.P. Malcolm Shabazz Killed In Mexico According to The Huffington Post Malcolm Shabazz, the grandson of civil rights icon Malcolm X, has been killed in Mexico according to The Amsterdam News. Shabazz’s death was also confirmed on Twitter and Facebook by Terrie Williams, a friend of the Shabazz family. While details of his death are still unclear, there are unconfirmed reports that Shabazz died of injuries sustained during a robbery. Shabazz is the son of Qubilah Shabazz, who was the second daughter of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz. In his youth, he set a fire that caused the death of his grandmother. For that crime, he plead plead guilty to manslaughter, was found guilty of arson, and was sentenced to 18 months in a juvenile detention facility. As an adult, Shabazz continued to have trouble with the law, The New York Times reported. He plead guilty to attempted robbery in 2002 and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.

SMH. According to ABC News: A woman who allegedly told New York City police she pushed a man onto the subway tracks because she hated Hindus and Muslims has been charged with murder as a hate crime. Erica Menendez, 31, allegedly told police that she “pushed a Muslim off the train tracks because I hate Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down the twin towers I’ve been beating them up.” Menendez was taken into custody this morning after a two-day search, and when detectives were interviewing her she allegedly made the statements implicating herself in Thursday night’s subway-platform death. “The defendant is accused of committing what is every subway commuter’s worst nightmare — being suddenly and senselessly pushed into the path of an oncoming train,” Queen District Attorney Richard A. Brown said. “The victim was allegedly shoved from behind and had no chance to defend himself. Beyond that, the hateful remarks allegedly made by the defendant and which precipitated the defendant’s actions can never be tolerated by a civilized society.” Menendez was due to be arraigned this evening. She could face 25 years to life in prison if convicted of the second degree murder charge. On Thursday night, a woman shoved a man from a subway platform at Queens Boulevard, and the man was crushed beneath an oncoming train. Police had searched the area for her after the incident. The victim was Sunando Sen, identified by several media outlets as a graphic designer and Indian immigrant who opened a print shop, Amsterdam Copy, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Sen was struck by the No. 7 train after the unidentified woman allegedly pushed him from the northbound platform at 40th Street and Queens Boulevard at 8:04 p.m. on Thursday. Witnesses told police they had seen the woman mubling to herself, pacing along the platform. She gave Sen little time to react, witnesses said. “Witnesses said she was walking back and forth on the platform, talking to herself, before taking a seat alone on a wooden bench near the north end of the platform. When the train pulled into the station, the suspect rose from the bench and pushed the man, who was standing with his back to her, onto the tracks into the path of the train,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne said earlier today. “The victim appeared not to notice her, according to witnesses.” Wow. What’s with people and these subway killings these days ?!

Chris Brown Apologizes For Amsterdam Pics But Defends His Choice To Smoke Chris Brown and his Roc Nation ride-or-die Rih-Rih seem to be racing towards the goal of becoming the poster child for piff-puffin….and Breezy says he should be able to do so without being judged. More than a few of his fans and critics slammed the former bottle blonde Breezy after he posted a slew of pics on Instagram where he was seen rolling up and blowing out with his fellow friends of the haze, so he responded with this “apology” while still defending his decision to puff puff pass and put on blast: It seems like more people are annoyed that Breezy continues to constantly flaunt his extracurricular kush-tivities for the world than they are with the fact that he stays blazin’ up. Do you think Chris should be able to get his mary jane on as he pleases? Or is he setting a poor example for the fans that he has left?
After more than a week of Twitter silence following his vulgar exchange with Jenny Johnson , Chris Brown returned to the social media site on a positive note last night. As he reintroduced himself to his 11 million followers, there wasn’t a negative word to be found. “#CarpeDiem,” Brown tweeted, then posted again later, “Time to start fresh. #newchapter.” A positive message and one we hope sticks. Of course, he still knows how to generate buzz, as evidenced by the Chris Brown smoking three joints on Instagram. For “medicinal” purposes, he wrote from Amsterdam, where marijuana is legal. From his NSFW Instagram handle (@F–kyopictures) to posting photos of himself with a half- nude Rihanna , you never know when Chris will spark controversy next. All we know is that Team Breezy will have his back every step of the way. Are you on Chris Brown’s team? Yes! Team Breezy! No! He’s not very nice. View Poll »

The happy couple have been celebrating in Italy along with close friends Andy Samberg, former #39;N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick, Timbaland and 7th Heaven#39;s Beverly Mitchell in advance of their weekend wedding.

Holly Madison is pregnant with her first child. And, thanks to baby daddy Pasquale Rotella , we now know the gender of the little tyke who will soon be having lunch from the same snack trays once enjoyed by Hugh Hefner. Madison is having… … A GIRL! We know this because Rotella Tweeted a sonogram of the impending baby today, telling followers: “Off to Amsterdam and I already miss my girls.” THG sends the expecting couple the best and everything, but we can’t help but wonder: Tweeting a sonogram? Is that where we’ve fallen to as a nation? What do you think of this act? An Instagram-ed sonogram is… Cool! Creepy! View Poll »
