Cops Slap Ike Turner Behind Bars


TMZ has learned that Ike Turner, ex-husband of Tina Turner, was arrested and locked up late last night on drug-related charges in Los Angeles.
LAPD officers clocked Ike (real name is Izear Luster Turner) at 80 mph in his 2002 Mercedes S-50 on the 405 Freeway. After they pulled him over, cops ran a check and discovered Ike had an outstanding felony narcotics warrant.


TURNER 'DRUG CHARGE' A COMPUTER ERROR


LATEST: Soul star IKE TURNER was arrested on Tuesday (15May07) night on an outstanding drugs charge due to a computer glitch - the warrant was actually recalled in 1989.


Ike and Tina Turner


There was a time when the Ike and Tina Turner Revue was one of the hottest, most durable, and potentially most explosive of all R&B ensembles. Fronted by Tina, with one of the rawest, most sensual and impossibly dynamic voices in Black music, the Ike And Tina Revue was an ensemble that dripped musical discipline while manifesting nearly unbearable tension, eventually giving way to wave upon wave of catharsis. The Ike and Tina Turner Revue were rivaled only by James Brown and The Fabulous Flames in terms of musical spectacle.

Medical Marijuana Advocate Ed Rosenthal Back In Federal Court / US Marijuana Laws Go Against The People

Ganja guru back in federal court for retrial, doesn't face prison


SAN FRANCISCO – Ganja guru Ed Rosenthal returned to court Tuesday for opening arguments in a case federal prosecutors are retrying even though the pot advocate will face no prison time if convicted of growing marijuana.
Assistant U.S. Attorney George Bevan told jurors that Rosenthal, 62, grew and distributed thousands of plants out of an Oakland warehouse to supply Bay Area medical marijuana dispensaries.


'Ganja Guru's' trial up in smoke


SAN FRANCISCO — Ed Rosenthal grew and sold thousands of marijuana plants in Oakland more than five and a half years in violation of federal law, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday as the "Guru of Ganja's" retrial began.
Assistant U.S. Attorney George Bevan even specified that the marijuana was supplied to "so-called marijuana clubs throughout the Bay Area" — a reference to medical marijuana organizations where patients obtained the drug for use as permitted under state law, but unprotected under federal law.

Jerry Falwell Dead / Falwell Is Up There With Jesus In His Big Purple Chair

TV Evangelist Jerry Falwell Dies at 73


LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell collapsed at his campus office and died Tuesday after a career in which the evangelist used the power of television to transform the religious right into a mighty force in American politics. He was 73.

The founder of the Moral Majority was discovered without a pulse at Liberty University and pronounced dead at a hospital an hour later. Dr. Carl Moore, Falwell's physician, said he had a heart condition and presumably died of a heart rhythm abnormality.


Falwell no fan of Hollywood



The late Jerry Falwell was no fan of what he saw in show business.

The former spokesman for America's Moral Majority once criticized the popular children's show Teletubbies because he believed one of the characters, Tinky Winky, is gay.

Falwell "outed" Tinky Winky in the National Liberty Journal in February 1999.


Hustler Magazine and Larry C. Flynt, Petitioners v. Jerry Falwell


REHNQUIST, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BRENNAN, MARSHALL, BLACKMUN, STEVENS, O'CONNOR, and SCALIA, JJ., joined. WHITE, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. KENNEDY, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
CHIEF JUSTICE REHNQUIST delivered the opinion of the Court.



The rumors and so-called "proof" are LIES!
The Rev. Jerry Falwell was NOT A HOMOSEXUAL!!!

Will Opie And Anthony Be The Next To Go ? / So Much For The Freedom Of Satellite Radio

XM reaches X-rated limit


Apparently, you can go too far on satellite radio. But whether crude comments about the secretary of state will get two radio hosts fired remains to be seen.

In a situation that led to an on-air apology Friday morning, shock jocks Opie & Anthony were scolded by their employer, XM Satellite Radio, which called the offending sketch deplorable.

That kind of defensive move by XM wasn't supposed to be required in the satellite programming business, because it operates beyond the purview of the Federal Communications Commission. Indeed, a good part of the original lure of XM and its rival, Sirius Satellite Radio, was the way hosts like Howard Stern could finally say whatever they wanted.

Turns out, for a variety of reasons, that isn't necessarily so.


Radio Hosts Lose a Sponsor After a Routine About Rape


A representative for Trojan condoms said yesterday that the company would no longer advertise on the “Opie & Anthony” show on a CBS-owned FM station in New York after a guest on another version of the show, on XM satellite radio, mused about sexually assaulting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, leading to a vulgar discussion.


Sirius: Will Programming Train Wreck Hurt Merger?


XM Satellite Radio (XMSR) favorites Opie and Anthony made some sexual remarks about Queen Elizabeth and Condoleezza Rice. The show hosts made an obligatory apology and XM said it was embarrassed and ashamed. The duo will be back on the air as scheduled. Sirius (SIRI) has its own version of shock radio in Howard Stern.

All of this may be a problem as the two satellite radio operators try to merge. Congress and the FCC are looking hard at the deal. Their biggest problem so far is that they think the combination could form a monopoly. Not good for the consumers and all. The fact that the two companies are close to financial failure doesn't seem to matter.




CBS Radio Pulls Show After D.J.’s Prank Call to Chinese Restaurant

One month after the firing of radio host Don Imus, a pair of suspended New York shock jocks have been permanently pulled from the air by CBS Radio for a prank phone call rife with Asian stereotypes.

“The Dog House with JV and Elvis,” featuring Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay, “will no longer be broadcast,” CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo said yesterday.

CBS Radio dismissed Mr. Imus in April for a comment he made about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. He plans a $120 million breach of contract lawsuit.
