2004: Out in the Bay Area, Mac Dre was something approaching a folk hero to resident hip-hop fanatics of the region. Thus, his tragic murder, on November 1, 2004, was a crushing blow to the growing hyphy scene that was sprouting up from the Bay during the time period.

Real name Andre Hicks, Mac Dre was killed in a shooting while riding as the passenger in a white van on a Kansas City freeway during a concert stop on a tour. As his van traveled north on Highway 71 in the city, a second vehicle pulled up aside the car and fired shots into the van. The van veered out of control across four lanes of southbound traffic and crashed in a ditch. As paramedics arrived on the scene, Mac Dre was found dead of a gunshot wound. The murder remains unsolved.

Nine years later, Mac Dre remains one of the most venerated Bay Area rappers ever. He was a pioneering father of the scene’s popular hyphy movement and respected for his independent hustle starting the seminal record label, Thizz Entertainment, to release his own music along with several other popular rappers in the Bay.

RIP Mac Dre.

As Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage is rumoured to be over, we grabbed a few tissues and decided to take a look back at what we thought was one of Hollywood’s greatest couples.

The Hollywood pair have not been photographed together since August and US websites said they were living separate lives.

It comes after Jada raised eyebrows at a charity event when an audience member claimed she told the crowd: “When you are going through a storm with your spouse… stop thinking about what you ‘believe’ a husband or wife should be.”

The pair have been married for 15 years. A source close to the actors said: “They were considered to have one of the most solid marriages in Hollywood, but lately it hasn’t seemed that way. Things seemed tense for months.”

DIVORCE?

According to Radar Online, Jada, 42, has now moved into brother Caleeb’s LA home. It said Will, 45, is living in New Orleans while he films movie Focus.

Speculation has been mounting since Jada said in an interview in April that Will “can do ­whatever” he wants. She later said on Facebook: “There are more important things to talk about than whether I have an open marriage.”

She also took children Willow, 12, and Jaden, 15, to Paris without Will and it was reported they had put their home on the market, but a rep denied it.

In 2011, Men in Black star Will and Jada had to defend their marriage over claims she was having a fling with J-Lo’s ex Marc Anthony. The couple’s agents declined to comment.

To the mom who thought it was cool for her kids to dress up like Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman for Halloween, we’re glad karma has come to bite you in the butt.
According to reports, Caitlin Cimeno has been fired from her job for posting racially-insensitive photos of her sons, William Filene and Greg Cimeno, with the caption: “Happy Halloween from Zimmerman & trayvon (insert smiley face emoji here.)”
The Massachusetts woman failed to realize that you can be easily tracked down if you post your full name, photos of your children at school, shots of your car with the license plate and selfies at work (duh!). After one Instagram user wrote, “You ruined your life by posting those pics,” Caitlin quickly changed her profile name and deleted the racist shots. But sadly for her, it was too late.
According to the Facebook page Stop Blackface For Halloween, “Earlier this morning Caitlin Cimeno had her employer listed on her Facebook page, but recently deleted it. Members of the Tumblr community took note of this employer before the deletion and contacted them to report the incident. Around 12:54 pm, I called the employer to report the incident and they stated that she has been fired.”
Welp. As Kevin Hart would say, she learned today.

Charlie Sheen — My Kids Are in Danger … My Ex is an Evil Whore

Charlie Sheen says his ex-wife Brooke Mueller is a dangerous, EVIL whore who’s putting their twin boys in SERIOUS DANGER … and now, Charlie says he’s on a mission to stop her before it’s too late.

Sheen just called TMZ and told us … his 4-and-a-half year old twin boys Bob and Max have already suffered physical and emotional damage from the time they’ve spent in Brooke’s care.

Charlie says the boys are deathly afraid of Brooke’s house — which is covered in pet lizards, various insects and other critters — and they suffer night terrors after spending time at the home.

Charlie also says Bob suffered a bad rash on his face after recently spending time with Brooke — a rash that “looked like somebody burned him.”

Charlie says he’s complained to L.A. Child Services — but they refuse to help. Instead, Charlie claims, Brooke is getting MORE custody … and he doesn’t understand why.

Sheen ripped Child Services on a Twitter rant last night — calling them “douche bags” who have done nothing to protect his children. He also called Brooke an “evil and pathetic über loser” and a “whore.”

Sheen says Brooke is supposed to get her first unsupervised overnight visit with the twins tonight — and Charlie says he’s very afraid of what could happen.

Charlie says he’s not sure if Brooke is back on drugs, but he is sure about one thing — “She’s as awful a parent and a person as you can possibly draw up.”

Fat Joe Begins Prison Sentence

Lamar Odom has a hardcore drug abuse problem and it’s threatening to derail his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, according to TMZ.

TMZ reported on Wednesday (August 23) that Odom has had a substance abuse problem for at least 2 years. Today another report surfaced that his drug of choice is crack cocaine. Odom, who played for the Los Angeles Clippers last season, was forced into rehab by Khloe last August. She was so concerned that he would bolt the facility that she hired private investigators to keep an eye on it 24 hours a day to make sure he wouldn’t leave.

Odom stayed for 3 weeks before leaving. He was clean throughout the last basketball season before relapsing.

Things got so bad that the entire Kardashian family staged an intervention last week to convince the NBA player to get clean, but he refused.

After the failed intervention, Khloe booted him from their home. No divorce papers have been filed by either one of them as of yet, but the marriage is definitely in trouble.

Odom’s future in the NBA is unknown. The league does offer a drug rehabilitation program for players who admit to a substance abuse problem or test positive for a banned substance.
