HTTP:: Chaos Breaks Out at DMX Charity Performance
--------
Rapper DMX was recently involved in an altercation with security guards at a charity concert in Colorado Springs, where he was supposed to perform but was barred from getting up on the stage when he arrived one hour and a half late. The rapper and his posse were so vocal and determined to get up in front of the impatient audience, they even fought with security guards who were trying to prevent them from doing so. Unfortunately, when they did get up there, the sound had been cut off, MTV informs. Video of the incident has already surfaced on the Internet and, as expected, it’s getting people confused as to what to think. On the one hand, there are those who stand up for the rapper, who insist that, although he was late, he still wanted to fulfill his contractual obligations by performing. Fans in the audience can also be heard chanting his name, which can only mean X doing his bit would have been the most advantageous solution to the problem. On the other hand, though, !
there are those who say security guards were right in blocking his access on the stage, as his obligations had already not been met by showing up so late. Either way, regardless of who is right and who is not, the truth is a “mini-riot†broke out, as DMX continued in his attempts of clearing the path to the stage. At one ...

HTTP:: Apple Competition Still Playing Catch with Our First iPhone
--------
During Apple’s FY '09 Fourth Quarter Results Conference Call with analysts, the company’s COO, Tim Cook, revealed that iPhone competitors were still years behind the latest version of its popular smartphone. "Frankly I think people are trying to catch up with the first iPhone two years ago," Cook said. "We've long since moved beyond that."Cook’s statements undoubtedly come in light of the competition’s various attempts to replicate the functionality (and sometimes, even the look) of Apple's elusive iPhone. The Android operating system is one such attempt to take a bite out of the iPhone’s market-share, but, according to AppleInsider, Google’s smartphone OS has been largely unsuccessful so far. Another example is the Motorola Droid, leaked in pictures earlier this week, and known to be running Android. Still, Peter Oppenheimer, Apple CFO, said his company was not concerned by anything rolled out by its competitors."I think it shows there is an intense appetite fo!

The show, for which no deal has been signed yet, will also include David’s two teenage daughters, but not his ex-wife, Pamela Bach, with whom the actor has been battling it out in court for about three years.

A new study seems to indicate the fact that, in the 19th century, Irish emigrants to England renounced baptizing their children with Catholic names such as Patrick and Bridget, our of fear that the English would discriminate against them. The research team, based at the Durham and Northumbria universities, says that this trend of altering traditional baby names for fear of prejudice and discrimination can also be seen in other parts of the world today, in growing immigrant communities in large cities. More than 30,000 records from 17 counties were studied, and the researchers noticed that the trend of giving Irish emigrant babies Catholic names went down considerably in the second-generation Irish, whereas the incidence of English Protestant names in the same category went up significantly.

Producer and rapper Timbaland is one step closer to doing the unthinkable: getting Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to appear in the upcoming video for “Morning After Dark†as the two beloved characters in the “Twilight†films, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Moreover, the video will also try to add a twist to the familiar story, while also including other stars that appear in the films, Timbaland himself confirms for MTV. Fans of the beautiful vampire story (or “fanpires,†as they’re called) and especially those who don’t like seeing it go in different directions than those outlined by author Stephenie Meyer need not despair, though.
