The Game booked on suspicion of threats
The Game was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats after police searched his home for more than three hours, authorities said.
The arrest Friday was related to an incident that occurred in February, said Officer Martha Garcia, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman. She declined to elaborate.
KABC-TV captured the 27-year-old rapper being driven off in the back of a patrol car as a bystander yelled, “We love you Game, we love you.”
The Game stuck his tongue out at the camera and said, “I want to say that I'm not guilty, and I love California.”
The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, was booked at the police station, and bail was set at $50,000, according to the county sheriff's department.
It was not immediately known whether The Game had hired an attorney.
He was arrested in November in New York City after authorities said he told a cab driver that he was an undercover police officer, persuading him to run a series of red lights.
Judge grants Bullock, hubby restraining order
Sandra Bullock won a restraining order against a fan she says repeatedly visited her home and tried to run down her husband, Jesse James.
The actress testified in court Friday that on five occasions, Marcia Valentine left in her yard palm fronds adorned with “weird signs” and “pieces of animal fur.”
Orange County Superior Court Judge Thomas Borris found “clear and convincing evidence” of stalking and issued a three-year order barring Valentine from contacting or coming within 500 yards of Bullock, James or his three children.
The judge also gave the couple permission to record phone calls or videotape Valentine if she violates the order.
Winfrey calls on Howard grads to live their dreams
Oprah Winfrey, whose show has remained the top-rated TV talk show for 20 consecutive seasons, says her success comes from maintaining her principles and serving others.
“My integrity is not for sale, and neither is yours,” Winfrey said at graduation ceremonies Saturday for Howard University, recalling times when she was under pressure to change course or avoid topics to boost ratings or appease advertisers. “Do not be a slave to any form of selling out.”
She called on the graduates to maintain their integrity and to “go forth and serve.”
- From wire reports
“I stand here as a symbol of what is possible when you believe in the dream of your own life,” Winfrey said. “Don't be afraid. All you need to do is know who you are.”
Winfrey said that while growing up her grandmother, a servant in 1950s Mississippi, hoped that Winfrey would “get some good white folks” to work for.
“I regret that she didn't live past 1963 and see that I did get some really good white folks - working for me,” said.
