‘It is time to let the Dog out of the kennel,’ rapper’s manager says in a statement announcing the release. By Gil Kaufman DMX (file) Photo: Getty Images It took a week longer than he anticipated, thanks to some jailhouse violations, but DMX was released from an Arizona state jail in Yuma on Tuesday morning (July 19) after serving nearly eight months of a one-year sentence for probation violations . A spokesperson for the rapper (born Earl Simmons) confirmed his release to MTV News and hinted that the end of X’s latest stint behind bars will hopefully mark a new beginning for the troubled MC. “Earl has so much more to offer the world,” manager Nakia Walker said in a statement announcing X’s release. “His latest project has been on hold for so long! It is now time for X to redefine the world of Hip-Hop with his highly anticipated album of inspirational, painful & street accredited rhymes. It is time to let the Dog out of the kennel.” “I spoke to my daughter, I just got off the phone with my wife,” DMX told AllHipHop.com following his release. “I’m going to go see my daughter while the sun is up, then I’m going to be in the studio, man.” Though the Yonkers, New York, native’s music career has been stalled out for much of the past eight years due to legal and drug issues, he has signed a label deal with UMMG (United Music & Media Group), and Walker has promised “extraordinary things happening from rapper DMX over the next couple months that include collaborations with major names in the music industry.” DMX was slated for release last week after serving seven months of his one-year sentence — including credit for 100 days behind bars while awaiting trial — but was held over for an extra week due to several minor infractions, including refusal to submit to a drug test and smoking in unauthorized areas.

Co-stars Bryan Greenberg, Patricia Clarkson aren’t so sure. By Amy Wilkinson Mila Kunis Photo: MTV News In spite of the rather raunchy, nearly naked ad campaign for “Friends With Benefits,” the movie’s all-star cast, including Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, turned up fully clothed at the romantic comedy’s world premiere Monday night at New York City’s Ziegfeld Theatre. But on a hot, sweltering night devoted to celebrating no-strings-attached relationships, the topic of sex came up early and often. So, of course, we had to ask the film’s stars if they thought a friends-with-benefits relationship like the one depicted in writer/director Will Gluck’s July 22 release could really work long-term. “Not in my life because I’ve tried it and failed miserably,” laughed Bryan Greenberg, who plays one of Kunis’ suitors. For the most part, Greenberg’s co-stars were of the same opinion. Jenna Elfman, who plays Timberlake’s sister, said, “I’ve been with my husband for 20 years, so I haven’t first-hand attempted a friends-with-benefits lifestyle.” But she still had her reservations: “I really, frankly, don’t think it’s workable.” “For some people, yes; for me, not so much,” Patricia Clarkson agreed. Even Gluck, the film’s writer/director, admitted he thinks it’s an impossible undertaking. “I think the scenario works very briefly and in college — everyone else is kidding themselves.” The sole dissenter was Kunis, who said it all depends on your definition of “works.” “Sure! I mean, you get upgraded or downgraded; it switches and takes different positions. You get promoted, or you get fired.” Do you think a friends-with-benefits relationship can work?
