Houston based rapper Bun B recently held his album release party at The Barrio Nightclub in Houston, TX.
As you can clearly see in the photo to the right, Lil’ Wayne is definitely enjoying the night with his triple stacked styrofoam cups. We have a hunch that he’s sippin’ on a little bit of alcohol and syrup to get keep him on that “lean” status.
To spark a discussion, sources confirm that the lady to Lil’ Wayne’s left is indeed the mother of the late rapper and former UGK member Pimp C….

Things are were looking bad for R. Kelly’s child pedophilia trial…
Check out these news snippets from yesterdays rocky trial:
“Courthouse observers are expecting fireworks today, as the trial’s most controversial witness is set to take the stand for the prosecution.
The woman, who lives in Georgia, is slated to testify about a three-way sexual encounter she had with both the R&B superstar and his alleged victim. She also is expected to identify the girl in the tape and tell the jury she was a minor at the time of the recording.â€

But as we all know… Whenever something bad happens, there is always room for the good.
“The R. Kelly child pornography trial abruptly adjourned for the day because of a last-minute defense witness who could undermine the testimony of a woman expected to detail a threesome she allegedly had with Kelly and an underage girl.
The prosecution witness, a single mother from Atlanta, had been scheduled to testify this afternoon. But at about 1 p.m., Judge Vincent Gaughan adjourned the proceedings for the day.
With jurors out of the courtroom, Gaughan said defense lawyer Sam Adam Sr. had told him that morning of a new witness — not on the defense witness list — who had just come to light.
‘I have no idea whats going on. But it might be impeachment of this witness’ scheduled for the afternoon, Gaughan said, apparently referring to the Atlanta woman.â€

Donda West’s death has led to a change in law for plastic surgery, making it safer for patients.
In California, the death of Donda West, 58, in November prompted two lawmakers to push for additional patient safety protections.
A bill, AB 2968, by Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter (D-Rialto) calls for a patient to receive a physical examination before undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Yolanda Anderson, West’s niece, said her aunt did not receive a physical exam by her surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams, before undergoing surgery.
A spokesman for Adams has previously said it was his understanding that both Adams and the anesthesiologist thoroughly questioned West before her surgery.
“It’s not like she was 90 or terminally ill with cancer,†Anderson said. “It was something that did not have to happen.â€
Another doctor whom West had previously seen declined to operate on her, saying that she was at risk of having a heart attack if she were to undergo the cosmetic surgery.
A coroner’s report cited West’s heart disease and clogged coronary arteries as a factor in her death. According to the coroner, there was no evidence that her death was caused by a mistake in surgery.
