Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick exchanged romantic text messages with a top aide, contradicting their denials in court that they had romantic ties, a newspaper reported.
The county prosecutor's office declined to comment on the legal implications of the report, posted Wednesday on the Detroit Free Press' Web site. A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment.
Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty testified last summer in a police whistle-blower lawsuit and denied any sexual or romantic ties in 2002 and 2003. But the Free Press said it examined about 14,000 text messages on Beatty's city-issued pager [My people, my people. When will we learn? - - Fresh] from those years and found many examples of such ties. [SOURCE]
This would all make for a lovely Tyler Perry stage play.
Come on people! You knew sooner or later you we're going to get caught. I'm personally pissed that the text messages weren't more interesting. No "girl, I'm going to put that pussy in a full nelson tonight" or anything! Check out excerpts under the cut.

Incarcerated rapper Foxy Brown has asked a New York judge for an early release from the Rikers Island correctional facility so that she can travel to Hollywood to receive treatment for her hearing problems.
According to the New York Daily News, Fox attached a handwritten note to a motion filed by her lawyer requesting that sent Judge Melissa Jackson grant the release in time for a January 30 appointment.
“I am terrified of not hearing a fire alarm go off, or being locked in a cell, and someone not being kind enough to let me out, since not everyone understands the severity of my condition,” she explained in the letter. Foxy underwent special surgery in 2006 to treat her sudden and sever hearing loss.
Now, the battery on a hearing device she uses has malfunctioned. Her attorney, Laura Dilimetin, noted in her motion that there may be “one or two places” in New York that can fix the cochlear implant, but the Los Angeles based House Clinic is the only place that can properly repair the device.

Even Shakespeare couldn't help Marion Jones stay out of jail. Her attorney quoted the bard in asking a judge to be merciful, but the former Olympic track gold medalist was sentenced Friday to six months in prison for lying to investigators about using performance-enhancing drugs and about her role in a check-fraud scam.
Federal Judge Kenneth Karas imposed the maximum sentence suggested in Jones' plea deal, despite entreaties for a probation-only sentence from her and her lawyers.
"I don't think the criminal conduct can be written off as a momentary lapse of judgment or a one-time mistake," Karas said.
Upon learning she was going to prison, Jones leaned over the courtroom railing and softly cried on her husband's shoulder.
The check-fraud scheme was a major crime, and the wide use of steroids "affects the integrity of athletic competition," the judge said. If Jones had told the truth from the start, he said, it would have been a great help to the ongoing investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the lab at the center of the steroids scandal in professional sports.
The use of performance-enhancing drugs "sends all the wrong messages to all who follow the athlete's every move," Karas said, apparently referring to children. "Athletes in society have an elevated status. They entertain, they inspire and, perhaps most important, they serve as role models."
Jones, after saying she was scared, nervous and "deeply sorry," had implored the judge "to be as merciful as a human being can be." With a catch in her voice, she asked him not to take her away from her two young sons, the younger of whom is still nursing. [source]

A judge has denied a request by Remy Ma, accused of shooting an acquaintance in July over missing money, to travel to Europe for a five-country concert tour.
Ivan Fisher, lawyer for the 26-year-old rapper, told the judge his client, whose real name is Remy Smith, needs the tour to earn money. Since her arrest, Fisher said, Smith has been unable to get sufficient U.S. bookings, and a proposed recording contract has been put on hold.
Fisher told the judge the tour, which was to begin in Paris on Dec. 31, would net Smith up to $40,000, "which she very much needs."
Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller said Thursday she wouldn't allow Smith to leave the U.S. because of the serious charges facing her. [source]

Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years by District Judge Henry E. Hudson. Vick was dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit and apologized to the court and his family.
Hudson responded, "You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you."
"Yes, sir," Vick said.
Vick acknowledged he used "poor judgment" and added, "I'm willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for my actions."
Before the hearing started, Michael Vick's brother, Marcus Vick, sat with his right arm around their mother, comforting her as she buried her head in her hands and wept.
Vick pleaded guilty in August, admitting he bankrolled the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting operation and helped kill six to eight dogs. [source]

"Seven time felon / what I care about a case man." - - T.I., Rubberband ManRapper T.I. will remain in jail on weapons charges for at least another week, after a federal judge on Friday denied any immediate release on bond.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman said he will hold another hearing next Friday to further consider conditions proposed by the rap star's lawyers that may prompt him to release their client pending trial.
Baverman also said that if he does grant bond, he wants to be comfortable with an entire "package" of conditions that assure that T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., will not flee or pose a danger to others.
The judge also told Harris's defense attorneys he does not have time to monitor Harris. "I'm not going to get involved in essentially being the warden for Mr. Harris," Baverman said.
Harris also was arraigned at the hearing, and he entered a plea of not guilty to the weapons charges.
After Harris entered his plea, assistant U.S. Attorney Francey Hakes disclosed that the case is part of "an ongoing investigation" and indicated more charges may be coming. Harris's trial would take less than a week, Hakes said, "as the indictment stands now."
Lawyers for Harris proposed that he be released on a $2.2 million bond, which included separate bonds backed by his record company, record company executives. Harris also agreed to post the equity of his two homes, which his lawyer, Ed Garland, estimated are worth about $1.5 million.
Garland also said Harris would agree to stay in his home with 24-hour-a-day electronic and human monitoring.
But Baverman said he wants more information about who will be chosen as Harris's monitor, who would live inside Harris's home and how they would search visitors and alert authorities if Harris violated any conditions. The judge said he wants to consider a list of companies that do such monitoring and hear details about them.
Baverman also set these tentative conditions if he does grant bond: Harris must post a $2 million cash bond plus the equity in all properties he owns. He must be locked down in his house 24/7; have an electronic monitoring device; consent to any searches; be screened for unlawful drug use; remove any safes in the home; and be allowed to live with only his girlfriend and children.

Sources tells Sandra Rose that Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is pregnant again with T.I.P.'s seed. Here's the skinny:Meanwhile, T.I., real name Clifford Harris, was denied bond in a federal magistrate court today. In attendance at the proceedings were Tiny, two of T.I.'s other baby mamas and all of T.I.'s children except for King who remained at home. Tiny, who was arrested on marijuana and Ecstasy possession on Saturday, took King to visit his father in jail yesterday. I'm told the first thing T.I.P. did was apologize to Tiny.
My source informed me that King is still traumatized from the raid which took place at T.I.'s home in College Park on Saturday. ATF agents simultaneously broke down the front door while smashing out windows in the back of the house and tossing stun grenades into the house. King, 3, was in a downstairs room playing at the time of the raid. The other children had just left the home to go to acting class. I'm told T.I.'s 15-year-old nephew ran out the back door and was tackled and stomped by ATF agents.

The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was busted in the parking lot of a shopping center not far from the award show's Atlanta venue, collared by agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after picking up three machine guns, two silencers and a pistol from an undercover ATF officer, which, per the feds, his bodyguard had purchased on his behalf.
T.I. was previously convicted on drug violations back in 1998 and given seven years' probation, and he later was busted on gun-related charges. It's a federal offense for a convicted felon to have someone purchase firearms on their behalf.
"The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm," David E. Nahmias, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, said. "This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns.

Rapper Beanie Sigel will surrender next week to face charges in a dispute over a rental car, his attorney said.
Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, rented a 2007 Nissan Altima from Payless Car Rental in southwest Philadelphia in July, investigators said. The car was due back on Aug. 13, but Sigel did not return it in time or contact the rental company, police said.
Payless, which continued to charge the rapper's credit card, reported the car stolen on Sept. 6.
Someone returned the car to Payless on Friday, just as detectives went to Sigel's home in the suburb of Lansdale to arrest him, police said. It had accumulated $5,000 in late fees.
"We've learned that a warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to return a vehicle," said Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri. "Apparently there was some misunderstanding over when it was to be returned or whether or not payment was continuing to be made." (source)

A jury decided Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also said he does not have to pay punitive damages.
After an ugly, three-week trial, the verdict gives Thomas a partial victory in the $10 million lawsuit filed by Anucha Browne Sanders.
The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and decided that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.
U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch called it an "eminently reasonable" verdict and said the jury will be asked to return later Tuesday to hear brief arguments on punitive damages.
"I'm innocent, very innocent, and I did not do the things she has accused me in this courtroom of doing," Thomas said. "I'm extremely disappointed that the jury did not see the facts in this case. I will appeal this, and I remain confident in the man that I am and what I stand for and the family that I have." Madison Square Garden also said it would appeal. (source)
