D’Angelo Issues Statement On Arrest

Singer ‘has pled not guilty — and is contesting the allegations made against him,’ statement reads, regarding arrest for soliciting a prostitute. By MTV News staff D’Angelo Photo: MTV A rep for R&B singer D’Angelo (real name: Michael Archer), who was arrested and charged with soliciting a prostitute Saturday in New York, issued a statement about the incident Monday (March 8). “We know there is a lot of speculation in regard to the arrest of D’Angelo in New York City this past weekend,” the statement, from Lindsay Guion of D’Angelo Management, reads. “We would like his fans and the public at large to know that D’Angelo has pled not guilty — and is contesting the allegations made against him. Also know that he is in good health and extremely excited about his forthcoming new album. “D’Angelo would like to personally thank all of his fans for the outpouring of concern, and appreciates if all would allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions,” the statement concludes. While a police spokesperson declined to provide further details on the incident when contacted by MTV News, according to The New York Post, the singer allegedly offered an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex. D’Angelo was driving alone in his Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m. when he saw a woman he believed to be a prostitute, unnamed sources told the Post. He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, according to the sources, who added that the singer had $12,000 in his car. Powered by his 1995 debut LP, Brown Sugar, D’Angelo was one of the leading lights of R&B during the 1990s, but he has released little music since his 2000 sophomore effort, Voodoo, and has been plagued by legal difficulties in the years since.

Kids Directing Air Traffic At JFK

BUSINESS BUZZ : Today's FAA scandal involves an air traffic controller who not only Took His Kid To Work but then allowed his kid to actually direct planes. If you listen to the audio, you will discover the kid did a pretty good job! Why is everyone being so AGEIST? The Best Links: “Pending the outcome of our investigation, the employees involved in this incident are not controlling air traffic,” the FAA said in a statement. “This behavior is not acceptable and does not demonstrate the kind of professionalism expected from all FAA employees.” The agency declined to comment beyond the statement. Listen here. It’s fun to watch the reporters try to gin up outrage over the potential peril this situation put passengers in. I mean, it’s much easier to talk about that than about the woefully inadequate system of child care we have in this country, right? Read

By Josh Wigler Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB The family of “Growing Pains” actor Andrew Koenig is thanking the fans and friends who have expressed sympathy following the discovery of Andrew’s body in Vancouver Thursday . According to an issued statement, the many e-mails and letters of support will be collected in tribute to the late actor. “The Koenig family thanks you for your kind thoughts at this difficult time,” read the statement. “It means a lot to them and they are very appreciative of the support they are receiving. Each of these e-mails will be printed and bound in a remembrance book.” In the days leading up to the discovery of Andrew’s body, the actor’s parents, Walter and Judith, attempted to reach out to their missing son through multiple public appearances . “I just want to know that you’re OK,” said Walter, best known for his iconic role as Pavel Chekov on “Star Trek,” during a Wednesday press conference. “If it means you just want to stay here, that’s OK. You don’t have to come back. Just let us know your intention.” But during a televised conference held Thursday night, the family confirmed reports of Andrew’s tragic death, urging other families not to ignore signs of depression . “My son took his own life,” stated the visibly distraught Walter. “The only thing I want to say is we’ve already said what a good guy he was and a good human being, and he was obviously in a lot of pain. … For those families who have members they fear are susceptible to this kind of behavior, don’t ignore it, don’t rationalize it.”
