Ice T's Son Arrested For Flashing Private Parts At Strip Club + Flavor Flav Fries Up The Wings (Video)

Ice T's son was arrested recently for exposing his private parts outside of a strip club in California Monday morning and we have the deets.  Also, watch video of Flavor Flav frying up his chicken wings inside...

Tracy “Little Ice” Marrow Jr., the 19-year-old son of Ice-T, was arrested Monday morning outside a Van Nuys, Calif strip club for public indecency.  Don't you have to be 21 to get into a strip club anyway?
The line for the bathroom must have been long because Little Ice took a wee wee outside the club.  When cops saw him "letting it flow," they arrested him.  He was booked and taken to a Van Nuys police station, but was released on a $5,000 bail.  Perhaps we will see the arrest on Little Ice's new reality show, “The Real Teens of Hollywood.”  Sigh.

We reported yesterday that the line was out the door and around the block for Flavor Flav's new fried chicken and rib joint in Clinton, Iowa.  Now, we have video of Flav talking abut his special recipe and what makes his chicken so good.
Get out your paprika and ground pepper and find out how to spice up your own recipe here:

Jennifer Hudson On Illuminati Rumors: That's The Most Ignorant Thing I've Heard!

Jennifer Hudson took to her UStream this week to talk about her brand new song "Where U At?"  And she diverted to a question from one of her fans about the Illuminati rumors.

Read on for what she had to say about folks saying she's part of the sub-Hollywood cult of alleged devil-worshiping where folks supposedly trade their soul for fame and riches....
Here's what the newly svelte Jenny Hud had to say to her fans about those pesky Illuminati rumors:

“I’m so glad someone brought this Illuminati mess up because only a child of God would address it. That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard in my life. And it’s offensive because basically what? The people that are here today don’t deserve to be where they are? What, we didn’t work for it? So I find—and I hate to go there—but I find it’s those that can’t make it that would probably join Illuminati, or whoever that is, to get somewhere.”
“Don’t listen to that type of stuff, don’t follow that stuff because those people are only luring you in to become a part of some mess like that, so know that you’re only falling victim. That’s their way of gaining followers. I’d advise you to stay away from it. Those who are reading it are falling into it. It could not be more untrue.”

So there you go.  Not only does Jenny claim she's not down with that foolery, but she also, on the sly, admits there is an Illuminati world out there and folks who can't make it on their own are more susceptible to join. Here's the actual clip. Skip to the 47:00 mark:

By the way, she's shooting her video for "Where U At?" next week.

Mike Tyson And Wife Lakiha Welcome Baby Boy!

Mike Tyson is a father again.  Get the deets on Mike's new little heavweight inside...


Former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson are the proud parents of a bouncing baby boy.  The new "little Tyson" was born at a Las Vegas hospital on Tuesday.  This is Mike's eighth child.
"Mike and Lakiha are very happy and everyone is doing great," a source close to the fighter told  RadarOnline.com.  Mike and Lakiha have not yet decided on a name for the little one.
Last year when Mike was a guest on "The View," he revealed his money woes saying,

"I'm totally destitute and broke. But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me. I'm totally broke. I had a lot of fun. It (going broke) just happened. I don't deserve to have the wife that I have; I don't deserve the kids that I have, but I do, and I'm very grateful."

And now he has another reason to be grateful. Congrats to Mike and Lakiha.

FLOTUS & POTUS Show Out For The State Of The Union Address

Michelle Obama looked every bit the President's wife at tonight's State of the Union address on Capitol Hill.  In her classic fit Rachel Roy dress, she showed off her curves and did so effortlessly.  Tuesday was one of the biggest nights in politics, and President Obama and Mrs. O looked fantastic for the occasion.

Pics of the First Couple on their big night, plus a clip from the President's speech, when you read on...
Mr. and Mrs. Obama put on a show of solidarity for Pres. O's second State of the Union address as they both rocked different shades of grey and lavender accents--FLOTUS with hot lavender gloves and POTUS with a dapper lavender tie:

Swagger's on a trillion.  Loves it.

First Lady Michelle rocked this light grey 3/4 sleeved Rachel Roy knee length sheath dress with a set of bangles and a dark grey jacket.  Very Jackie O-esque and stunning as usual.  And now that she's worn an American designer--again--maybe the fashion critics can back up off her for a minute.
Mrs. O welcomed several VIPs in her box to watch her hubby give his address--all regular citizens who have done extraordinary acts of service in some way to their communities.  She sat next to the family of the 9-year-old girl, Christine-Taylor Green, who was shot and killed in the Arizona attack on Rep. Giffords.

Nice.

 

Here's a clip from the beginning of President Obama's State of the Union address where he stresses the importance of working together in conquering future challenges.
