Lil Wayne Faces One Year in Jail

Lil Wayne

Who knew ‘s Behind the Music special would become so dated…so quickly?

A fourth child isn’t the only thing the rapper is facing in the months to come. Come February, the 27-year-old may be sentenced to up to one year in jail.

Earlier today, the Grammy award winner pleaded guilty to an attempted weapons possession charge. The plea bargain - which reversed an earlier “not guilty” declaration - spared Lil Wayne (a.k.a. Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) from what could have been 3.5 years following a jury trial.

Thursday’s legal matter stemmed from a July 2007 police search of his tour bus. DNA tests conducted later linked Carter to a .40-caliber gun found on board. Unfortunately, today’s agreement with prosecutors won’t put an end to Dwayne’s troubles. He still faces drug and weapons possession charges from a January 2008 incident in Arizona.

John Mayer's Battle Studies cover

Note to Jennifer Anistion: If you really plan on reuniting with John Mayer, don’t ever tell him he can’t get stoned.

In “Who Says,” the first track from his upcoming album, the 32-year-old sings about his right to partake in a little drug and booty call action. “Who says I can’t get stoned?/ Call up a girl that I used to know/ Fake love for an hour or so/ Who says I can’t get stoned?” Well - it was just your birthday, John, so I guess you should be able to do what you want.

Battle Studies, Mayer’s fourth solo album, will come out on November 17.

Ozzy Osbourne Misdiagnosed as HIV Positive

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Rock

Ozzy Osbourne was once diagnosed as HIV positive - but later told the test results were wrong.

The Black Sabbath rocker was devastated to be told he had contracted the deadly virus, before further medical investigations revealed the results were due to the damage years of drug and alcohol abuse had caused to his immune system.

“I went to the doctor and had an AIDS test and he told me it was positive. That was one of the worst days of my life,” Ozzy explained in an interview with Glamour magazine. “When I used to get f***ing loaded I would get myself into all kinds of situations. It turns out that because I was drinking and using drugs so much, my immune system had dropped so that it was a borderline result. When I went back to be tested again it was negative.”

Barenaked Ladies' Steven Page

After two decades with the Barenaked Ladies, cofounder Steven Page is calling it quits. This news comes seven months after the singer/guitarist was arrested on drug charges.

The 38-year-old singer/guitarist, who was caught in possession in cocaine last July, could have faced over five years behind bars for the felony. But a deal struck late last year allowed Page to avoid jail time provided he seek treatment and avoid trouble.
