The woman was not stabbed, but was treated at a nearby hospital. Police also discovered the drugs Ecstasy and hydrocodone in Knight’s possession. Knight surrendered without incident.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eDuring the nineties, Knight was arguably the hottest rap promoter in music with this label Death Row Records. The label specialized in gangsta rap records by such pioneering west coast rappers as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and the late Tupac Shakur. Knight also became just as well known for his violent reputation, which over the years has included rumored gang affiliations and several brushes with the law.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eKnight was in fact present the night that Shakur was gunned down gangland style in 1996, also in Las Vegas. Shakur’s murder was never completely solved, and less than a year later Christopher Wallace, a rival East coast rapper better known as Notorious B.I.G., was gunned down in similar fashion. Conspiracy theories connecting the two murders have proliferated on the internet and in music circles in the many years that have passed since, and in fact continue to this day. \u003c/span\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003ca href \u003d \"http://www.syko.org/?source\u003dfeed\"\u003eSykoNews\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.syko.org/feeds/4806830490584263647/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.syko.org/2008/08/suge-knight-slapped-with-assault-in.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://draft.blogger.com/feeds/6761410/posts/default/4806830490584263647"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.syko.org/feeds/posts/default/4806830490584263647"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.syko.org/2008/08/suge-knight-slapped-with-assault-in.html","title":"Suge Knight Slapped with Assault In Vegas"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"joshed"},"uri":{"$t":"https://draft.blogger.com/profile/00992076529300299403"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TPKFF67Bj4/VtlT1HfY2LI/AAAAAAAAhG0/Ae6XwNSW1ug/s32/joshed.info_icon_576.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H6_DVpa2eWU/SLZaiHMnR1I/AAAAAAAAAjk/61PqpheykYQ/s72-c/sugeknight.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761410.post-1995573868380160773"},"published":{"$t":"2008-08-16T03:35:00.003-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-06-17T15:19:04.706-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Music"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Celebrities"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Record Producer Jerry Wexler Dead At 91"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H6_DVpa2eWU/SKatpbS6HcI/AAAAAAAAAeY/rj7cGF3fe2A/s1600-h/iwexler.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" src\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H6_DVpa2eWU/SKatpbS6HcI/AAAAAAAAAeY/rj7cGF3fe2A/s400/iwexler.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235062544078085570\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003eJerry Wexler, the legendary producer who along with Ahmet Ertegun built Atlantic Records from the ground up to become the dominant rhythm and blues label of its time has died of congestive heart failure.

That’s a damn shame, because Freeman’s career will survive his problems. The other won’t - Bernie Mac is dead at age 50.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI didn’t even realize Mac had been hospitalized for pnemonia in a Chicago area hospital. Since his hospitalization, various reports had come out about his health, ranging from prematurely announcing his death to reports just yesterday that the comedian was in stable condition and would be released soon. Mac’s reps announced his death this morning; stunning news to awaken to.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI’m probably not the right person to write a long-winded memorial of Mac, but I’m the only one awake and online this early on a Saturday morning to find this tragic news. I didn’t watch \u003ci\u003eThe Bernie Mac\u003c/i\u003e show during its run on Fox, a lot of which used events from Mac’s own life for source material. I originally overlooked \u003ci\u003eThe Original Kings of Comedy\u003c/i\u003e, so I wasn’t even on the Bernie Mac bandwagon for very long.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIn fact, I pretty much dismissed Bernie Mac’s early career, thinking he was just another in a long line of comedians attempting to jump onto the screen. Lots of them have tried but few have been successful. Sure, he was entertaining in \u003ci\u003eOceans 11\u003c/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBad Santa\u003c/i\u003e, but it was a pretty flat level of entertainment. Then, much to my surprise, Bernie Mac stole the show in \u003ci\u003ePride\u003c/i\u003e. The comedian shared the screen with Oscar recognized Terrence Howard, and owned every scene he was in, showing quite the penchant for serious drama.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAfter \u003ci\u003ePride\u003c/i\u003e I was looking forward to seeing what else Mac could do, but his career hadn’t reached the potential he showed in that one movie before his death this week. The actor had only appeared in a bit role in \u003ci\u003eTransformers\u003c/i\u003e and reprised his \u003ci\u003eOcean’s\u003c/i\u003e character for the third film - both entertaining, but not living up to what Mac showed he could accomplish.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAccording to IMDb, Mac had four projects in post-production at the time of his death, including \u003ci\u003eSoul Men\u003c/i\u003e (with Samuel L. Jackson) and \u003ci\u003eOld Dogs\u003c/i\u003e (from the team behind \u003ci\u003eWild Hogs\u003c/i\u003e). Let’s hope one of those provides the perfect send-off for Mac, a talented comedian and actor.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cdiv_prefs\u003e\u003c/div_prefs\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\";font-family:verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:black;\"   \u003e\u003cb\u003eSource: CinemaBlend.com\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003ca href \u003d \"http://www.syko.org/?source\u003dfeed\"\u003eSykoNews\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.syko.org/feeds/9044922501697170823/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.syko.org/2008/08/comedian-bernie-mac-dead-at-50.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://draft.blogger.com/feeds/6761410/posts/default/9044922501697170823"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.syko.org/feeds/posts/default/9044922501697170823"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.syko.org/2008/08/comedian-bernie-mac-dead-at-50.html","title":"Comedian Bernie Mac Dead at 50"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"joshed"},"uri":{"$t":"https://draft.blogger.com/profile/00992076529300299403"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TPKFF67Bj4/VtlT1HfY2LI/AAAAAAAAhG0/Ae6XwNSW1ug/s32/joshed.info_icon_576.png"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761410.post-5036219175154734960"},"published":{"$t":"2008-07-03T02:17:00.006-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-06-17T15:44:14.260-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Stargate"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Celebrities"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Sci-Fi"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Don S.

By the same token, you can't afford to lose one. Rumours are that Sienna Miller is poised to step in adn pick up the slack. It's great the way she's willing to help out like that.
