Rapper DMX has been arrested on suspicion he gave a false name to get out of paying for hospital medical expenses, it has been reported.

County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the star told Mayo Clinic in Arizona that his name was Troy Jones and failed to pay a $7,500 bill in April.

The star- whose real name is Earl Simmons - was arrested at a shopping centre in Phoenix on Saturday. The 37-year-old’s lawyer Cameron Morgan declined to comment.

In May he was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and drug possession after 12 apparently neglected dogs were found. Several weapons and unspecified illegal drugs were also seized by police.

Earlier this month the musician and actor was arrested in Arizona after failing to appear in court, pay outstanding fines and for driving without a licence.

The musician has sold over 20m albums as one of the most popular stars of hip-hop in the US. The cover of his last album, Year of the Dog… Again, which came out in 2006, featured him with a pit bull straining at the leash.

He also launched his own range of dog clothing, including caps, scarves and raincoats for canines. It was named Boomer 129 after one of his pit bulls.

Apart from being a part-time singer and a full-time ho, Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day does know how to work. The singer has been temporarily pulled out of her skankiness for her role in Broadway’s ‘Hairspray’. Aubrey plays Amber Von Tussle beginning today until the end of August. She may not look like a skank on the outside but she still is one on the inside. I wouldn’t be surprised if news came out that she hooked up with co-star Ashley Parker Angel before her run is over. She should actually. He’s pretty hot. A has-been but still hot nonetheless.

Nate Dogg was recently in a Compton courthouse on a slew of charges where the judge remanded him to custody pending bail. The rapper, whose real name is Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, remained in a wheelchair for the entire proceeding. Bail was set at $100,000 and he’ll remain in custody until bond has been posted. Nate pleaded not guilty to felony charges. On top of that, a protective order was issued against the rapper where he was ordered to stay 100 yards away from his ex LaToya who claimed that he was following her dangerously down a highway. Not long after the hearing, Nate posted bail and is now out of custody.

The British media has reported that Amy Winehouse chose to ditch a Nelson Mandela photo call on Thursday so she could hang out with her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil. While we wait for actual reviews of how she was on the actual show, sources who were present during Wino’s rehearsal for the concert in London’s Hyde Park say that she sang the song ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ and sounded quite good. If that’s the case, then I guess there’s still some room left for us to keep hoping that she’s going to get better. But like I always say when it comes to Wino, don’t hold your breath.

Yeah, I wish this pic was from some bedroom fiasco gone wrong. Instead, this is what Naomi Campbell wore to Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday bash.

I thought she was banned from the whole shindig, but apparently she just couldn’t go to the concert. So, she thought she’d bring a little class…class A ghetto…to the party. This getup looks like a nightie with Morticia Adams’ slip over it.

Well, Naomi, for once you look like the witch you are.

Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil recently suffered a drug overdose in prison and I’m stuck wondering how he got heroin in jail. And here’s my answer. It’s being said that the inmate has been exchanging pictures of his wife for drugs. In return for the pictures, he is given a ‘Joey’ – slang for a hit of heroin worth a few pounds. “He’ll take orders from other inmates then ask Amy to bring in signed photos of herself during visits. He usually gets her to write a little personalized note to make it look authentic. Once he’s back on the wing he’ll swap these for Joeys.” It seems he has no trouble in cashing in on his wife’s fame.

Rihanna was spotted playing a game of ten-pin bowling with friends at the Bloomsbury Lanes recently. During her night out bowling, Rihanna dished that she’s a big art collector saying “I’m not a big spender, but I do like to buy art. My favorite canvas is a Ronnie Wood one. He painted a portrait of Bob Marley and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted it. It’s very rare that you get a painting of a legend painted by a legend, so I had to get it.” I guess now we know where buying 6 pieces of artworks from one gallery stems from.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly spent $70,000 on fake tan.

The ‘Mean Girls’ star avoids sunbathing because of her pale skin and freckles, but is now worried about the vast amount of money she has splashed out on spray tans and home tanning products.

A source close to the actress said: “Lindsay has had a reality check - she’s not getting offers like she used to. She’s definitely thinking she needs a big blockbuster just so she can go back to living comfortably.”

Among Lindsay’s other expenses are a reported $1 million on hotels - in particular a $2,700-a-night suite at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont hotel where she lived for over a year - and more than $315,000 on her two visits to rehab last year to seek help for drink and drug addictions.

Actress-and-singer Lindsay is now considering releasing her own range of leggings, after her most recent movies ‘I Know Who Killed Me’ and ‘Georgia Rule’ flopped.

She said: “It will be a while before it comes out, but I’m going to do it. Some of them will have prints and some will have patterns. I just love leggings.”

Exciting…

You know, it’s sad, but she’s gonna have to be reinvented for anyone to take her seriously. Britney Spears is just so far gone….forget past comparisons to Madonna.

Producer Rodney Jerkins says, “I’m trying some new things….I’m trying to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project.” He maintains that Brit is very professional and is able to record very quickly. He says she is always “working on the positive side.”

Maybe being around sons Jayden and Preston is helping the girl get it together. Jerkins goes on to say, “It’s about to be her time again.”

Sisqo can’t even get arrested these days and have anyone take notice. It turns out that the rapper, whose real name is Mark Althavan Andrews, was arrested for DUI way back in December. According to court records, no one was hurt and he was wearing his seatbelt. He was sentenced to probation and was fined $1700. His arrest was leaked out by a caller to Mix 106.5 in Baltimore earlier this week. You know it’s bad when over half a year passes before anyone even starts to care. And that’s just one person. If I hadn’t found the piece of news funny, I would have just ignored it too.

Umm, he’s just gross.  Maybe cops will lock Andy Dick up for a while.

Seems Andy was arrested at a Buffalo Wild Wings for being drunk and causing a disturbance.  When cops arrived, a 17 year old in a truck, along with witnesses, also told them that he has sexually assaulted her.

Seems when he walked out of the restaurant, Andy grabbed the girl, pulling down her tank top and bra, and exposed her breasts.  Friends then took him to a truck which cops pulled over moments later in a Sam’s Club parking lot.  He was extremely intoxicated and also had marijuana and Xanax on him.

He’s in a mess of trouble.

As scary as it is for me to say, Hulk Hogan just can’t get enough of his daughter’s scantily clad body. The retired wrestler already had the chance of putting lotion up her inner thighs and eve supervised a Maxim photo shoot for his daughter. He continued the creepy trend by watching Brooke shake her money maker with a burlesque troupe this past weekend in South Beach. Hulk’s Brooke-alike girlfriend was also there. I wonder if the Brooke-alike is just with him because Hulk can’t have his daughter. Sick thoughts, please get out of my mind. I’m going to have nightmares because of that.

Ronnie Wood’s wife has reportedly told him their marriage is over.

The Rolling Stones guitarist received a furious voicemail message from Jo Wood, his wife of 23 years, saying she no longer wants to be with the rocker following his alleged affair with 19-year-old Russian Ekaterina Ivanova.

A source said: “It has sunk in he has had an affair and she feels betrayed. They had such a strong marriage. He’s thrown it all away with his stupid behaviour.”

Ronnie and Ekaterina - who fled to the 61-year-old musician’s retreat in County Kildare, Ireland 10 days ago - are believed to have become close after partying in London. During drinking sessions, the young waitress is said to have posed naked for keen artist Ronnie.

The source added: “Jo has been through the mill. She thought he was only drinking buddies with the girl and she was hanging around him for free drinks. Now everything has surfaced about how they met and Jo has hit rock bottom.”

Jo, 53, had previously branded Ekaterina “mad” and claimed the pair were not having an affair. Ekaterina’s mother Irina has denied the pair are romantically involved,
saying: “There is nothing between them.”

Ronnie is due to return to London from Ireland today. The alcoholic musician, who has reportedly been drinking two bottles of vodka a day, is said to have vowed to check into rehab on his return.

New controversial photos of Miley Cyrus have made it onto the web. They’re supposedly from someone who hacked into one of her email accounts. One photo shows a then 14-year old Miley dressed in a wet shirt in what looks like a public shower stall. Another photo shows her taking a picture of herself blowing a kiss into the camera with her shirt rolled up showing her stomach. The last photo shows the Disney star wearing a ‘Nick J’ necklace. I guess that should be proof enough that she did date Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. And she wonders why people think badly of her.

Phil Spector made a lot of singers famous back in his golden days but it seems like those singers are turning to bite the hand that fed them as some of them have lost that paid feeling. Members of The Ronettes, The Crystals and Bobbie Soxx and the Blue Jeans want their royalties from Phil. They are claiming that he’s supposed to shell out their share twice a year but he hasn’t done so recently. Like mos of Phil’s tunes, the lawsuit is short, sweet and tight. Considering he’s had a lot of lawyer’s fees to pay, you can guess where his money, and probably theirs, went.

Courtney Love wants everyone to know about her multiple personalities. She’s gone to her blog about it and guess what? Her alter ego has a name! She says “just want to hank allyou supportive lovely people and thank you for putting up with my kookoo bananas alter ego should; we give her a name?

With hubby Blake locked up, I guess Amy Winehouse needs some love, too. So, she hit the streets without her wedding ring.

Sources say she shopped and hit the bakery. Then she took her purchases home and headed out again around 12 a.m. She headed back home around 1:30 a.m., accompanied by a male companion who she hugged and loved on as she walked.

Hmm…

Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy was arrested on Tuesday night in St. Louis on one charge of third-degree assault. Much like Amy Winehouse did in Glastonbury, Travis beat up a concertgoer. The band just finished their first song of their Warped Tour set when an audience member near the front row called Travis a “fucking ignorant n—-r.” As security was removing him from the crowd, Travis reached down and hit the heckler on the head with is mic. He apologized for his reaction saying “I’m sorry. But when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone.” He was released early Wednesday morning on $500 bond.

I had just about forgotten about Ashley Dupre and her governor bangin’ self.  But now she’s making headlines again.

If you remember, she was at the center of the Eliot Spitzer drama a while back.  Then Ashley decided to sue Joe Francis, founder of Girls Gone Wild, for using her name and image illegally for profit.  Ashley said she had been tricked into bearing her breasts at age 17.  Now she’s dropping that suit.

Her attorney Richard C. Wolfe says, “Ms. Dupre wants to eliminate all negativity from her life and focus on the positive.  She has prospects for many exciting new projects and is looking forward to starting a new chapter.”

After her initial claims, Francis showed proof of identification Ashley had provided them, showing she was 18.
