NEW YORK — Lil’ Kim says she’ll be celebrating Independence Day early this year. The rapper, who was sentenced in September to a year and a day in prison for lying about a shootout outside a hip-hop radio station, is being released Monday, the day before July Fourth.
“I am thrilled to be coming home,” Lil’ Kim said Thursday in a statement issued by her publicist, Tracy Nguyen. “I thank all my fans for all their letters, as well as my family and friends for all their support throughout the past 10 months.”
Okay, first, before we get to the episode, a couple of things about names.
Last week on TRL, the Making the Band 3 ladies announced their group’s name: Danity Kane. Why? There better be a good reason for it! Well, Danity Kane is apparently the name of a female anime superhero Dawn draws. Once again why? Drop the Kane, Big Daddy would probably appreciate it too…plus it’s a little better by itself.
With their return to Orlando, Diddy gives them the task of mastering the art of a live performance. So he gets Doc Holliday (their voice coach) and Laurie Ann (a.k.a. Fatima wannabe a.k.a BoomKat) to prepare them for their performance at the NBA All-Star after party.
The premiere of the new season gave us more insight into who these lucky ladies are and, more specifically, what they’re like at home.
First up was the tan-tastic Aubrey, who hails from Palm Springs, Calif. Was I the only one surprised by the fact that Aubrey had a boyfriend? The girl doesn’t exactly carry herself like she’s a kept woman. She also co-hosts a radio show, what’s up with that?
A judge in White Plains, New York issued an arrest warrant for DMX Wednesday after he missed a court date to face a multitude of driving charges.
The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was already granted two postponements by City Court Judge Barbara Leak. DMX’s lawyer, Stacey Murray, promised that he would come to court Thursday. But the judge had run out of patience.
“We have granted him a number of courtesies,” the judge said. “It ends now.”

Backstage at the 2006 BET Awards in Los Angeles, Andre 3000 and Big Boi of OutKast continued doing what they started on stage – promoting their new album and film, “Idlewild,” due Aug. 22 and Aug. 25 respectively.
It’s “not a typical musical and features two stories going on at the same time,” explained Big Boi of the film. Asked about the album, Andre 3000 described it as a “new OutKast album and not a traditional soundtrack.”
Compton rapper DJ Quik surrendered to authorities in Fontana, Calif. last week to begin serving a five month jail sentence for assaulting his sister.
In 2003, Quik, whose real name is David Marvin Blake, pulled a gun on his sibling while in the midst of a family argument, reports Allhiphop.com. Last year, he plead guilty to the assault and was ordered to spend 45 days in jail on weekends, but the artist failed to show up at all, according to the Web site. That’s called a violation probation.
According to the New York Post’s Hasani Gittens, the rapper has just ended “one of the nastiest four-year custody battles in hip-hop history – rife with allegations she had lesbian sex in front of their children, that she does drugs in the house and that she’s an absentee mom.”
The woman in question, Rhymes’ ex-girlfriend Joanne Wood, was Busta’s high school sweetheart and had a roller-coaster romance for 10 years, a relationship that bore three children. Then, Wood decided to come out of the closet and all hell broke loose.
