Rappers Who Spent All Their Money Rappers love their money. And they love talking about it. But occasionally they love spending it a smidge too much. Sometimes when they spend all of their cash on fancy bling and cars they go absolutely broke. They have to take loans or deal with the IRS or find some way to get by. Here are some rappers that spent a bit too much cash.

Déjà vu or do you think POTUS could take a few tips from Pryor? Funny how most of the same damn issues 40 years ago are still what the candidates are talking about today. Images via youtube
But it’s mostly because… it’s become something he’s incorporated into his live show. BOSSIP was at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland Saturday for Virgin Mobile FreeFest and we were thrilled to hear the rapper introduce “Bye Baby” to the crowd by first dedicating the song to ex-wife Kelis and then admitting, “I texted her last night and asked, ‘Can we just make love just one last time?’ ” And even though we’d heard about him doing this before, we still kinda hoped it was true. Having been a Nas fan since his pre- Illmatic days it was great to watch him live as he performed many of his hits off Life Is Good as well as classics like “If I Ruled the World,” “I Know I Can,” “1 Mic” and many more… This was our second year attending Virgin Mobile’s Freefest as one of a select 25 Virgin Mobile Influencers and we had a blast walking back and forth between the main Pavilion stage where we watched Justin Jones and Jack White peform, and the West Stage where we saw Santigold and her adorable dancers do their thing. We rode the VirginMobile ferris wheel for a mere $5 donation (the concert is free, you just have to make a small donation to get in and a few more here and there and the money goes toward a great cause — youth homelessness!) We also got to witness Nas and a new favorite — Skrillex. Prior to Saturday’s show we hadn’t really caught onto the whole EDM movement, but Skrillex put on an amazing show complete with projected video and movie clips, fireworks, fire and literally ALL OF THE LIGHTS that you can ask for… and the music was actually great. Skrillex performed from a setup that was atop a giant spaceship that moved throughout his set. Really impressive production. Gotta love OG rockers ZZ Top! We highly recommend that if you haven’t attended one of these in the past that you start planning for next year now. Check out the VirginMobile Live website for more photos and streaming video from the festival and follow @virginmlive for more updates. It’s probably a good idea to like and friend them on Facebook too because they have lots of contests. All Photos Courtesy Virgin Mobile
TSA Agent Arrested For Stealing $100 From Passenger At LAX This muhfugga right here! According to LA Times: A federal Transportation Security Administration officer was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of stealing $100 from an airline passenger who was going through a security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said. Los Angeles airport police said Clyde Reese, 47, of Gardena was booked on a misdemeanor theft charge after the passenger complained to authorities that his money was taken from a plastic bin where he had placed his wallet and other personal possessions for screening. TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said the agency will remove Reese from his screening duties and help with the law enforcement investigation. He added that if wrongdoing is found, Reese could be fired. “TSA holds its employees to the highest ethical standards and has a zero tolerance for theft,” Melendez said.
Kelly Osbourne reminds me that if I was ever a pork farmer…I’d totally dress the pig up in a bikini before slaugtering it because it would be so comical and amusing in an otherwise shit filled world… I get that she’s lost a lot of weight…but that doesn’t mean seeing her half naked is something we need to celebrate…unless we were people who were forced to see her half naked before the fitness regime, like her boyfriend that is using her to get to her dad and his money, cuz when forced to chose fat Kelly or this Kelly, the choice is obvious….but the new Kelly is up against all the actual hot girls in bikinis….which happen to be something she is not…but the one thing she does have going for her…is a rockin’ trust fund…so I guess she’s not all bad…as long as she’s not in a bikini….

Celebrity Election Activists With one month left until election day, the 2012 presidential candidates need all the help that they can get to bring it home. While the majority of Money Mitt’s heavyweight endorsements are said to come from the banking industry and President Obama notorious for celebrity endorsers, both candidates have accumulated their fair share of A-listers who aren’t afraid to get involved and use their celebrity status for a good cause by getting as many people as possible registered and informed. Check out a few Hollyweirders who have been blazing the campaign trail right along with their candidate of choice.
Thanks to SNL, we finally know what threw Obama off his game during last week’s first Presidential Debate. LLS Blaming Michelle, POTUS forgetting their anniversary, and the high altitude, Jay Pharaoh helps show us exactly why Barack didn’t do as well as we’d all expected him to do. Images via hulu
