DMX got into a screaming match with security when he arrived to Colorado Springs charity concert nearly one and a half hours late after security was told that he was scheduled to perform. The rapper, his bodyguards and fans eventually got into a shoving match with security in front of the stage, while the crowd, who had already been told that DMX wasn’t going to show up, began chanting for the rapper. DMX eventually got on stage but the sound system was reportedly turned off so he couldn’t perform. I think that he’s the only guy who could make a charity event into a melee.

I don’t think that it’s a good idea to wear any bling resembling bullets at the airport but apparently, Snoop Dogg thinks otherwise. While going thru Beirut International Airport, the rapper had to give up his necklace which had a diamond studded bullet. I know that security was just doing their job but I don’t think they could have done anything with that. The irony in it all was that the necklace is actually an anti-war message supporting the Bullets 4 Peace charity. At least the bling is for a good cause but Snoop may need to think about what he wears before going thru any airport again.

If you ever decide to toss some money is rapper Pitbull’s face, be prepared to get your teeth knocked out. During one of his shows in Aspen, Colorado, a fan was tossing money around in the crowd and was pulled on stage by Pitbull. The guy thought it would be a good idea to make it rain in the rapper’s face. Unfortunately for him, the rapper levels the guy with a devastating right hand then follows it up with a kick once the dude was on the ground. The best part of it was that Pitbull never even missed a beat when he was knocking the dude out. Sources say that the fan was tossed out of the venue after getting socked but was let back in once he convinced security that he meant no harm. No cops were even called to the scene.

According to the London Paper, Beyonce recently had a bit of a scare during the after-party for the London stop of her ‘I Am…’ tour when a fan managed to infiltrate security and get backstage. A witness said “A man barged through the backstage door just as Beyonce was walking past. He cried out her name with his arms outstretched before security bundled him back out again. He said he wanted [just] to see Jay-Z to give him a demo tape.” The crazy things people do when they want to get famous. Oh well, the guy just got his few minutes of fame with this one.

Britney Spears is being sued by her former bodyguard. Kerry Vine has decided to file a lawsuit against the recovered pop star, claiming to have sustained physical injuries while working for the singer. Court documents filed recently state that Britney “negligently operated her home and business thereby causing injuries to” the bodyguard. He also claims that the security firm he used to work for was responsible for forcing him to “perform duties that put him in harm’s way.” I smell something fishy about this suit. If you really thought you were going to get hurt, you can quit – or at the very least speak out about it and ask for things to change.
