Busta is busted on an assault charge
Rapper Busta Rhymes was arraigned Sunday on an assault charge after he was reportedly accused of attacking a man for spitting on his car.
The New York Police Department released few details about the arrest, saying only that the incident occurred Aug. 12. Rhymes was arraigned on a charge of third-degree assault and was released on his own recognizance, said Barbara Thompson, spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney's office. He is due back in court Oct. 24.
A lawyer for Rhymes, Scott Leemon, said the charge should have merited only a desk appearance ticket.
“This is payback by the NYPD,” he said.
Police have wanted to interview Rhymes since the February shooting death of one of his bodyguards, Israel Ramirez.
Ramirez, 29, was killed outside a Brooklyn studio where Rhymes was recording a music video.
Police arrested Rhymes Saturday evening after he performed at the AmsterJam Music Festival on Randall's Island. The New York Post said police believe Rhymes beat a man who spat on his car near Gramercy Park.
Denton knows why show wasn't nominated
James Denton has a theory why “Desperate Housewives” didn't get an Emmy nomination for best comedy. Denton, who plays plumber Mike Delfino on the ABC series, said he thinks “Housewives” falls “between the cracks” when it comes to Emmy categories.
“I don't think the show is a pure comedy or pure drama and last year, particularly, it was very dark,” Denton said. “So, when you're nominating yourself or presenting yourself as a comedy, there's certainly funnier shows on television, as a pure comedy.”
Now you can ‘Smell it like David Beckham'
Soccer star David Beckham and his pop-star wife Victoria are set to get intimate with the unveiling of a new fragrance for men and women next month. Dubbed “intimately Beckham for Him” and “for Her,” the fragrances will be sold starting next month across Britain.
The couple, who married in 1999, have spent almost a decade in the perpetual glare of celebrity photographers' flashbulbs, but their appeal is waning.
Beckham, the world's most recognized soccer player, quit as England soccer captain after the team's lackluster performance in the summer's World Cup tournament. He has since been ditched from the England squad.
Victoria, once a singer with the multimillion-selling Spice Girls, made a poorly received solo album, but recently switched her attention to developing a line of designer jeans.
