This is not Colorado....the Bawse is behind bars. Rick Ross was busted for weed on Wednesday. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the 39-year-old rap mogul was riding in his Bentley in Fayette County, Ga. when cops pulled him over for a tinted window violation. When they approached the car, they smelled weed and proceeded to search the vehicle. Ross, whose birth name is William Leonard Roberts II, was arrested after a deputy stopped his Bentley on Ga. 279.
They allegedly found five “marijuana cigarettes” and arrested him on a misdemeanor marijuana charge, reports TMZ. He is currently being taken to the Fayette County Jail and being booked.
Wednesday’s run-in with Fayette deputies is at least Ross’s fourth marijuana-related arrest. He was arrested on pot charges in Miami in 2008, in Louisiana in 2011 and in North Carolina in 2013.
Beyoncé is using her star power to bring awareness to a great cause. Last month, the global superstar visited Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital, the only children’s hospital in Haiti, as part of a United Nations humanitarian effort.
While there, she met with doctors, cancer patients, and newborns in a specialized intensive care unit. Sporting a “BeyGOOD” T-shirt, named after her charity, she held hands and laughed with the children. The hospital provides medical treatment for disadvantaged and sick children in Haiti, but has recently lost funding resulting in cutbacks of staff and a decrease in the number of children that can be treated.
With the help of BeyGOOD, the hospital hopes to re-open an abandoned wing and continue to aid the people of Haiti. All proceeds from BeyGOOD T-shirt sales go directly to Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital.

Anthony Mackie is officially off the market. The actor tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Sheletta Chapital last December, reports Page Six. The childhood sweethearts, who have two sons together, kept the news of the wedding impressively quiet. The Captain America star and his bride wed in a small ceremony in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic while Mackie was in the Caribbean filming Our Brand Is Crisis with Sandra Bullock. The couple tied the knot on the beach at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in front of 150 of their closest friends and family.
“It was low-key and super-relaxed,” says a source who attended the beach wedding. “They had a welcome dinner. We golfed and drank. They went on a honeymoon soon after.”
Mackie and Chapital have known each other since they were seven years old and, after years of on-off dating since elementary school, committed to each other in 2009 while Mackie was in his native New Orleans shooting The Hurt Locker. According to Page Six, the 36-year-old actor closed up shop in New York, where he had been living, last year and moved to New Orleans permanently. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Mackie!
Let's face sometimes money can buy you anything! Not to mention the Lakers don't need the stadium right now. Swish. Kanye West was ballin’ for his birthday thanks to his wife Kim Kardashian. Mrs. West rented out L.A.’s Staples Center, home to the Lakers and Clippers, in honor of her husband’s 38th birthday on Monday.
According to TMZ, Kim spent a whopping $110,000 on the surprise gift. Kanye was joined on the court for his own private basketball game with an all-star roster including Justin Bieber, Tyga, Pusha T, and NBA superstars Russell Westbrook and John Wall. Kim even had custom West and East uniforms made for each team. No word on how much she paid his so called friends to show up?
The birthday boy led the West team to a 75-72 victory against his East opponents. Bieber was named MVP, according to Virgil Abloh. 2 Chainz and James Harden held down coaching duties and John Salley played announcer. A-Trak provided the soundtrack, and John Legend performed the national anthem and “Happy Birthday” for his G.O.O.D. Music brother. Rap’s MVP posed with the Laker Girls and was presented with a cake in the shape of the NBA championship trophy. He thanked his wife with a big kiss on the lips.

Just days after wondering what Sanaa Lathan has been up to, we have our answer. She, Michael Ealy and Morris Chestnut have been low-key shooting a romantic thriller for Sony/Screen Gems titled The Perfect Guy. I actually gave a small synopsis of the film in my previous post, but had no idea the project had wrapped shooting until the trailer landed in my our inbox last night.
Just as reported, Sanaa plays a newly single woman (Leah Vaughn) who can’t seem to shake the guy she recently friend-zoned after discovering he was a few fries short of a happy meal. Morris Chestnut plays an old flame who re-emerges to help Leah, and from there we have a love triangle that probably won’t end well. The Perfect Guy hits theatres on September 21. You can check out the trailer below.
