Diana Ross Just Wanted a Video
Troubled singing legend Diana Ross told police offers she was trying to rent a video and got lost, after she was stopped for allegedly drunk-driving.
Officer Scott Sullivan of the Tucson police in Arizona stopped Ross on Monday after reports a vehicle was driving on the wrong side of the road.
Ross, 58, was stopped at a video store, where she had pulled into a disabled parking space.
The report says she twice denied she had been drinking, and said she had been lost and was "just trying to get here to rent a video."
The report also says Ross consented to a breath test, but fell down and laughed while trying to stand on one leg and count to 10.
In another test, the report says she skipped a couple of letters and doubled up on others when asked to write the alphabet.
Police say breath tests showed she had a blood-alcohol level of at least .20 percent, more than twice Arizona's legal driving limit of .08 percent.
J. Lo is Most Admired Woman
Jennifer Lopez has beaten Hillary Clinton and a string of politicians and sports stars to claim poll firm Gallup's annual Most Admired Woman in the World honor.
(Afrochic's sidenote: How in the hell do you compare Jennifer Lopez to Hillary Clinton in admiration? That's like comparing Ashanti to Maxine Waters.)
Ten percent of those polled thought the "Jenny From The Block" diva should receive the honor.
President George W. Bush was named the Most Admired Man. (Afrochic's sidenote: NO COMMENT.
Admiring a man that stole an election.....right
)
Suge: "I'm Innocent"
Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight has insisted he is an innocent man - after spending Christmas in jail for alleged parole violations.
The Death Row Records founder was remanded in custody last week after police alleged he was associating with LA gang members - in direct violation of his parole requirements.
However, Knight protests, "I ain't no gangster. I'm too damn old. I'm a grown man trying to run a business. The guys who work for me ain't out wearing rags and gang banging in the streets. We got families. We got bills. Why don't they just leave us alone?
"I told parole that if I had to stop dealing with people from the 'hood, I might as well shut down my business. I can't just turn my back on the people I came up with. Rap comes from the same place that I did - the ghetto. I've had the same employees since I got out of prison and the parole office never said nothing. Why, all of a sudden, on Christmas Eve, do they decide to violate me and haul me away?"
"My parole officer asked me to stop by before the holidays, but as I opened the door to his office, this gang investigator was standing there who tells me they plan to put me away for a real long time if I don't start talking. I told him, 'You better handcuff me right now. Because I don't know a thing about it.'"
Knight is expected to remain incarcerated until an upcoming hearing on the matter.
I'm told ALL the time...
