T.I, 29, and the 36 year-old former Xscape singer were booked at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station. Bail was set at $10,000.

T.I. was just released in March after serving a seven-month sentence in an Arkansas prison and three months in a Georgia halfway house on federal weapons charges.

Apple TV, ‘Ping’ and iTunes — what it means
Computerworld – There were a lot of rumors and expectations ahead of Apple’s much-hyped music event yesterday. As expected, Apple unveiled a new touch-based iPod nano and an iPod Touch sporting the company’s A4 processor; super-high-resolution retina display; and front and rear cameras offering HD video recording and video chat via FaceTime. There was also a new iPod Shuffle, which thankfully returns to the previous iteration’s design with on-device buttons and a clip to make it wearable. (Continue Reading…)

June 2011 trial set in Katrina shootings case
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A trial for six current or former New Orleans police officers charged in deadly shootings on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina is scheduled to start next June.

At the request of defense attorneys, U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt agreed Wednesday to postpone the start of the trial from Sept. 13 to June 13, 2011.

Two people were killed and four others wounded by police on the Danziger Bridge less than a week after the storm. (Continue Reading …)

The BVX - Ladies, after a break-up we can do some pretty irrational things. Of course, men aren’t immune to these pitfalls but due to our emotional nature we can be more susceptible to the crazy. However to avoid future humiliation, here are a few tips from theBVX to help you keep your sanity.

1. Baby I’m Begging
The whole ‘He broke up with me out of the blue’ speech is pure BS. Whether you noticed or not, chances are your ex saw the demise of your relationship well before you did. Therefore, groveling before him won’t change his mind. Despite what you think, desperation is never hot. Wipe the tears and snot off your face and walk away with some dignity!

2. LOL :)
Just because you can call, text, BBM, IM and email anyone at anytime these days doesn’t mean you’ve got the green light to do all of the above to your ex. Texting him to say ‘I was just thinking of you’ is no longer romantic or sweet, it’s annoying… and stalker-esque. Do yourself a solid and avoid using your phone or computer when thoughts of your ex start bubbling over — sober or drunk.

3. Computer Love
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the following: ‘So I was reading his status on Facebook today and he said ____ He’s so talking about to me.” There’s a really good chance you’re off the mark or simply paranoid. Reading too much into someone’s status will just make you crazy and monitoring someone’s every move can not only be exhausting, but torturous. If he’s having a good day, you’ll feel slighted, if you feel he’s referencing you, you’ll gain false hope. Either way you spin it, it’s not a good look.

4. Breakup Sex
We all know there’s a window time after a break-up where sex with your ex is acceptable (cue Ne-yo). It’s only natural for you to still want to be physical with someone you’ve established a bond with, however at some point the loving becomes a really, really bad idea. If it’s six months after your break-up and you’re still letting him hit that with no signs of a reunion, then you should probably cease and desist. I hate to tell to you, but your ‘long history’ does not make you immune to jump-off status.

According to popular gossip blog Sandra Rose, the actor received a series of angry tweets from fans alleging White is another example of a self-hating Black man. White married Paula Da Silva, a Latina woman.

In response to the negative reactions via Twitter, White retweeted some fans’ tweets who were supportive of White’s decision of marry who he wanted.

White was certain to tweet his disclaimer several times during the day, “NOTE: My RT’s of ur tweets do NOT = my opinion.” But some people are questioning the validity of White’s disclaimer, stating that if the RTs were not his opinion, why would he RT them in the first place.

White retweeted the following posts. One RT even suggested White’s angry fans will no longer have a problem once he and his Latina wife have “beautiful, flawless babies.”

What are your thoughts on the issue? Does it matter who Brian J. White married? Or are his retweets the problem? Sound off!

The issue surfaced Tuesday as word spread of a Nashville mosque’s decision to host two FBI agents at a prayer service last Saturday night. The agents discussed the investigation of a fire, suspected to be arson, at a planned mosque in nearby Murfreesboro, a project that has also triggered vehement opposition. The agents then silently observed prayers from the back row. (Continue Reading…)

Obama to commemorate Katrina on 5th anniversary
President Barack Obama will use the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina to reaffirm his commitment to the Gulf Coast amid lingering questions over his administration’s response to the BP oil spill.

Obama ends his Martha’s Vineyard vacation Sunday and heads to New Orleans, five years to the day from when Hurricane Katrina raged ashore, busting through crumbling levees and flooding 80 percent of the city, killing more than 1,600 people. Then-President George W. Bush was harshly criticized in many quarters for not responding aggressively enough to the disaster.

The unfinished business of helping make New Orleans whole is Obama’s responsibility now. On Sunday, he will have the delicate task of commemorating the ravaging storm while reassuring residents who may still believe the government has failed them _ both when it comes to Katrina and to the BP spill.

Product alignment isn’t just for the big dogs anymore, even Detroit producer Mr. Porter (Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent) has a custom keyboard with the music equipment company Open Labs. And let’s be honest, albums and ringtones aren’t selling like they used to so endorsements guarantee a rapper won’t end up on “Dancing With The Stars” (No shots Master P). We suggest jumping into the world of technology, so here are five gadgets that are customized for five MCs.

Showtime! PA System
Students nationwide are subjected to sleep-inducing pep rallies and colorless summons to the principal’s office. But a PA system from Swizz Beatz, aka the One Man Band Man, would take those mandatory school assemblies from zero to hero. Blasting at illegally loud volumes, the Showtime! PA System would feature automated voice-overs for all school events from games to bake sales. When a star basketball player slam dunks? “The monsta!” When the bell rings at the school day’s end? “Showtime!”

Find Your Forehead Eyebrow Trimmer
Diddy co-signed Proactive years ago; why can’t Drake preserve his sexy (and his bank account) by endorsing the Andis eyebrow trimmers? The deal would be worth it for the “before” and “after” photos alone. If he thinks the ladies love him now, wait until they can see the rest of his forehead. Oh you fancy, huh?
