Paula , come get your man! Singer Robin Thicke was arrested in Manhattan for marijuana possession, the Daily News has learned. The award-winning R&B crooner was arrested at 12:25 p.m. by patrol officers who saw him smoking a joint while sitting in a Cadillac Escalade near 3rd Ave. and E. 21st St. “He wasn’t driving,” a police source said. “He was sitting in the car. He was arrested and a small amount of marijuana was recovered on him.” Thicke, 34, was in the Escalade with another person, the source said, but Thicke was the only one arrested and then charged with posession of marijuana. It wasn’t clear where Thicke was heading, though he did provide police with a lower East Side address. SMH. Is somebody stressed about that new baby on the way? Source More On Bossip!

Even with the NBA lockout, this young lady’s dad wrapped up the best year of his career in 2011. But while he was on the court winning, she was off doing hoodrat isht with her friends and developing a drug habit. Can you guess whose child this is? This is Jason Kidd ‘s eldest daughter Cheyenne, who checked herself into rehab this week for the second time this year. She had previously been in rehab from the summer all the way up to Thanksgiving. It’s pretty disturbing to think that a girl who can’t legally vote has been to rehab twice, but that’s where Kidd’s daughter is currently at. She has accused her father of being a “deadbeat dad” in the past, and it makes you wonder just how closely Kidd is watching his daughter. It’s hard for a single dad to keep an eye on a young and impressionable daughter when you essentially are on the road for half the year. Who knows if she even lives in the state of Texas considering Kidd has played with the Phoenix Suns and New Jersey Nets in the past. In addition to doing unspecified drugs, Cheyenne also find pleasure in tweeting rap-inspired pictures of herself, like this one: With the caption “Soowoo to the beehive.” Thanks Weezy. But she wasn’t always a little wanna be bad-a$$ in need of a “Scared Straight” intervention. Hit the flip to see Cheyenne as her daddy probably hopes she could have stayed forever.
RihRih’s been smokin’ that reefer eh? The singer was snapped by photographers entering and leaving Amsterdam’s famed Green House coffee shop this weekend where she reportedly spent 5 hours “relaxing.” Uh huh… It was light when she got there but dark when she left. She was sposedly smokin’ something called Amnesia so that should explain things some. More shots when you continue.
Folks need to be more careful with their narcotics…especially with babies in the house: Three people were charged after police said a toddler ingested some marijuana at their Goshen home. Officers said Joshua Smallwood and his parents, William and Kimberly Smallwood, brought the 2-year-old boy to Children’s Hospital because they said he was acting abnormally. They said the boy kept falling asleep and could not stay awake. The child tested positive for marijuana, doctors said, and a nurse called police. Tests showed the boy had eaten the marijuana, doctors said. Police said William Smallwood and his son admitted to occasionally smoking marijuana, but they said they did not smoke in the house.Officer said they found a small amount of marijuana at their Country Lake Apartments home, which police said was filthy and not fit for a child to live in. William and Joshua Smallwood were charged with drug possession and child endangering, and Kimberly Smallwood was charged with child endangering. The elder Smallwood was convicted last year of aggravated drug trafficking. The boy was hospitalized for several days but recovered, and he’s staying with other relatives. Police said other children were in the home at the time, and two other people may be charged. Source
Well, would you look at that. The war on drugs does exist and sometimes even work. U.S. authorities have arrested more than 70 people in a series of Arizona narcotics raids, dismantling a major smuggling network linked to a Mexican drug cartel that generated nearly $2 billion in illicit proceeds, officials said on Monday. The law enforcement effort, which included three sweeps conducted jointly by local, state and federal authorities, capped a 17-month investigation dubbed “Operation Pipeline Express.” The bust, ranked as one of the largest ever in Arizona, was announced at a news conference in Phoenix by officials of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office and the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department. A total of 76 suspects — a mix of U.S. and Mexican nationals — were arrested in raids carried out last week, earlier this month and in mid-September throughout southern and central Arizona, officials said. Those rounded up ranged from organizational “bosses” to stash house guards, scouts and drivers, they said. To date, the case has resulted in the seizure of over 60,000 pounds of marijuana, more than 200 pounds of cocaine and about 160 pounds of heroin, along with $750,000 in cash and more than 100 weapons. Intelligence gathered as part of probe found the drug-smuggling ring operated as a major U.S. hub for Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa cartel during at least the past five years, authorities said. During that time, the network is estimated to have smuggled more than 3.3 million pounds of marijuana, 20,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of heroin into the United States, generating illicit proceeds of nearly $2 billion. Authorities said the network richly profited by gaining a virtual monopoly over smuggling routes along an 80-mile stretch of Arizona’s southwestern desert. Operating from cells based in the Arizona cities of Chandler, Stanfield and Maricopa, the smugglers ferried narcotics by foot and vehicle from the border to a network of “stash” houses in the Phoenix area, where the drugs were then sold to distributors from other states. “We have dealt a significant blow to a Mexican criminal enterprise that has been responsible for poisoning our communities,” Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said. “I find it completely unacceptable that Arizona neighborhoods are treated as a trading floor for narcotics.” Or at least that’s what they’d like us to think… Source
This s*** here must stop! The “destroyed” mother of a 2-year-old Bronx girl hit by a stray bullet remained by the child’s side Tuesday night as cops arrested the suspected triggerman. Patience Boyd was shot in the head and 6-year-old Jayla Rodriguez was wounded when Luis Moore, 23, opened fire on a crowd filled with children about 7:45 p.m. on Monday, cops and witnesses said. Jayla suffered a graze wound to her neck, cops said. Police say Moore was aiming for Ricky Rodriguez, 20, who was shot in his lower back in the spray of gunfire on E. 181st St. The shooting capped an argument the two men had a couple of hours earlier, sources said. “She’s destroyed right now,” Edward Garcia said of his sister Lizandra, the mother of little Patience. “It’s your worst nightmare,” said Garcia, 30. “They are stupid young people. They don’t care who they hurt. The innocent pay.” Moments before the hellish shooting in Bronx Park South, Garcia stepped outside from his building to a placid scene of children playing and neighbors chatting on the sun-filled sidewalk, he said. Suddenly, Moore emerged from a crowd at the corner of Daly Ave., about 50 feet away, and started squeezing shots down the block, cops and witnesses said. The crowd scrambled for cover as bullets flew. The bleeding Jayla, who is not related to Ricky Rodriguez, was scooped up by her mother and carried down the street, witnesses said. Then Garcia spotted Patience. “I see my sister holding my niece in her arms on the ground and [Patience is] bleeding from her head,” said Garcia, the rims of his eyes red from tears. Rodriguez, who has at least two prior arrests for criminal possession of a weapon and menacing, was also on the ground. His family said he was hit by a bullet when he tried to shield a friend from the gunfire. “He pushed his friend out of the way when he saw the man with the gun,” said his aunt Jaqueline Recio, 45. “He took a bullet to his spine.” Rodriguez and Jayla were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and were in stable condition yesterday. Patience was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia, where she remains in critical condition. “[The bullet] went through everything important,” a source said. “She’s alive, but covered in tubes,” Garcia said. At least the a**hole responsible turned himself in. Poor little Patience… Source
Like father, like son: D.C. Council member Marion Barry’s son pled guilty Wednesday to felony possession of PCP and marijuana before a D.C. Superior Court judge. Resembling his late mother Effi, the tall, lean Marion Christopher Barry, 31, stood next to his attorney Frederick Cooke Jr. as his father watched from a seat in the courtroom. In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors said they would not file additional charges and would not seek a prison sentence longer than six months, the low end of charging guidelines for Barry’s offenses. The high end of the sentencing guidance is three-and-a-half years. Barry had been charged with one count of unlawful possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Barry, his father and Cooke all declined comment after Wednesday’s hearing. Cooke said Barry has been testing negative since his arrest. The younger Barry was arrested May 28 after neighbors reported yelling and sounds of fighting inside his apartment in the 4300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SW, according to police charging documents. When police arrived, according to the documents, Barry refused to open the door, jumped out of his first-floor apartment window and ran, leaving blood on the floor. Inside the apartment, the charging documents said, police found five sandwich bags determined to contain marijuana, as well as a vial three-quarters full of a liquid later determined to be PCP. Barry later returned to the apartment, where he was arrested, the documents said.

SMH at these folks trying to throw Della Reese under the bus for burning a lil something!! “Touched by an Angel” star DELLA REESE is a pot-smoking preacher who covered up for employees after they swindled her church out of a small fortune. That’s the shocking accusation of the TV legend’s former executive assistant Billie Hall, who claims Della and her husband Franklin Lett basically “looked the other way” while employees mismanaged funds at their Understanding Principles for Better Living Church. Even worse, Hall accused the 79- year-old actress – who’s an ordained minister – of using marijuana and asking a church employee to score dope! “I worked for Della and her husband for nine years, and I’ve seen her smoke pot on a daily basis. She was stoned when she went to the ‘Touched by an Angel’ set,” Hall told The ENQUIRER. While Della says she’s not “addicted” to pot, she admitted to The ENQUIRER: “I smoke a joint or two every now and then to relax.” A few years after the drug fiasco,Della discovered $1.5 million was missing from the church coffers. She and her husband said they traced the loss to former employees who had been cashing church checks and using church credit cards. The ENQUIRER also obtained court documents concerning allegations of misappropriation of funds, and they show that another former employee was asked to put money from the church into what the employee believed were personal accounts. Della said she informed her congregation about the missing money, but chose not to prosecute the employees. “I’m not that type of person, and I decided not to drag the church through all that,” she explained.

SMH… just because a white guy gets nominated for an NAACP award, quotes Bill Withers, rocks cornrows and blazes trees doesn’t mean — nevermind. So Playboy had an extensive interview with Justin Timberlake and he managed not to pull a John Mayer . Read the interview to find out how JT answers the “Black” question, and a lot of other ones. Check out the interview below: PLAYBOY: Let’s start with sex. Your new movie, Friends With Benefits, has lots of it. What was it like letting it all hang out? TIMBERLAKE: I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t completely awkward. I couldn’t tell you the number of people in the crew watching me and my bare ass, but it was a lot. The producers and I agreed we would shoot a big chunk of the movie before we got down to the sex scenes, which was a good idea. That allowed Mila and me time to get comfortable. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go all out for this. In fact, when they first gave me the script, this was a PG-13 movie. I didn’t think it was funny enough. I said I didn’t know how you could have a movie called Friends With Benefits without embracing the “benefits” part. PLAYBOY: You and Mila certainly look as though you’re enjoying each other’s company. TIMBERLAKE: You have to, and we did. We just wanted it to be funny, but we wanted it to look real, too. Most of the sex scenes are actually played for laughs, and she’s such a gifted comedian. There’s a whole scene in which I have to pee during sex, and it gets into how tough that is and how women just don’t understand the completely different parts men have. That was a lot of fun to shoot, but a lot of the time it was just me making a fool of myself. You can’t be shy with comedy even when you’re standing there naked. PLAYBOY: Was there a penis sock involved? TIMBERLAKE: You wear the proper ornaments, yeah. But I’m used to it. I shot a pretty explicit sex scene with Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan. It’s totally weird, but you just jump in and do these things. You rock out. PLAYBOY: The big question Friends With Benefits raises is whether men and women can have sex without getting emotionally involved. Is that possible? TIMBERLAKE: God, I’m the worst person to ask about that. I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever had that type of relationship. I get hooked on every level when I get close to someone. If you build enough chemistry to want to be intimate like that, someone’s going to catch feelings, and usually it happens quickly. PLAYBOY: Your other big summer movie, Bad Teacher, co-stars your ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz. What were the feelings there? TIMBERLAKE: It sounds complicated to everybody else, but it wasn’t to us. Honestly, the only thing I was worried about before I said yes to that movie was being asked that question. I knew at some point we’d have to promote the film and people would say, “Oh my God, that’s so weird that you two dated for four years.” I don’t know what else to say except the truth, which is that we’re friends. We don’t talk to each other all the time, but we respect each other, and on some level we’ll always love each other—but in our new capacity as friends . I think the world of her. We did have one very funny scene in Bad Teacher. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t say too much about it. I’ll go out on a limb and say it is the most unique dry humping you’ll ever see in a film. PLAYBOY: If you do a quick Google search on the women in your life, you come upon a litany of grand theories. A fling with Johansson was supposedly the reason you broke up with Cameron Diaz. Mila Kunis was supposedly the reason you broke up with Jessica Biel. Others insist it was Olivia Wilde. Care to set the record straight? TIMBERLAKE: None of it’s true, so I shouldn’t even dignify it with an answer. The thing is, I’m not going to sacrifice my friendships with people who are my co-stars I meet in the business. I’m not going to avoid spending time with people because someone who doesn’t know me makes assumptions about what’s going on. That’s bullsh*t. I don’t know who sits around behind a computer screen making the shit up, but at a certain point you just have to shut it off. I can’t look at the stuff anymore. My life is not on the internet. My life is right here, right now. PLAYBOY: But it’s no secret you’ve had a string of high-profile relationships. Wouldn’t it just be easier sometimes to have a relationship with, like, the girl from the dry cleaners or something? TIMBERLAKE: Technically, I guess. But you can’t help who you have feelings for. If you turn it off because someone is famous, then you’re being unfair to yourself. You could walk down each of those roads and find pros and cons. The girl from the dry cleaners is not going to understand how I feel about the work schedule and pressures I have. You probably gravitate toward people who understand your scenario. At the end of the day you just want someone who gets you, who can be a friend. That’s kind of the point of Friends With Benefits. As corny as it sounds, the “friends” part counts just as much as the “benefits” part, if not more. PLAYBOY: By the way, how many sit-ups does a guy have to do a day to look like you do in those Friends With Benefits nude scenes? TIMBERLAKE: I did go on a diet for that movie, which mostly came down to not drinking as much beer. And you know, beer is good, so that was hard. I’m pretty thin anyway, but I didn’t want to look like a meathead. I was like, I’m about to be 30, and I’m going to be naked on camera. If I’m going to do this, I’m going to train pretty hard. In the end, I just did more cardio, and I pumped up the stuff I already do throughout the year, such as playing sports. I like basketball and golf and snowboarding, and I do them pretty fu*king intensely. Keep reading for Justin on music, movies, N’Sync and why he relates to Bill Withers…
