  • Bushwick Bill Facing Deportation

    Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys is facing deportation after the rapper was seized by U.S. immigration officials.

    The rapper appeared in Atlanta Immigration Court Thursday for a deportation hearing and could be sent back to his homeland of Jamaica.

    Although the exact charges that prompted the deportation hearing are still unknown, news of his possible deportation hit the net in June after the emcee missed a dedication to Rap-A-Lot Records founder James Prince at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors.

    Bill recently released his debut gospel album The Testimony of Redemption in 2009.

  • Man jumps to his death from downtown parking garage

    By DALE LEZON Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle

    A man jumped to his death from a downtown parking garage this morning after he tried but failed to drive his car off the 12th floor, authorities said.

    The apparent suicide happened near the corner of Milam and Polk around 9 a.m., said Patrick Trahan, spokesman for the Houston Fire Department.

    No one else was injured.

    Authorities were summoned to the garage after onlookers spotted the front end of the man’s vehicle hanging over the parking garage’s ledge, stopped by steel wires. The man then got out of the vehicle and jumped, Trahan said.

    The incident remains under investigation and authorities have blocked traffic in the immediate area.

  • Mike Tyson visits Peterborough match, isn’t sure what that is

    By Brooks Peck

    Mike Tyson made a surprise appearance at halftime of League One side Peterborough’s preseason friendly against West Ham and if you find that premise confusing, don’t worry — Mike wasn’t so sure what was going on either.

    Looking slimmed down and healthier, Tyson, who became a vegan this year, has been hanging out in Peterborough, England, over the last few days. He made the news by dropping by a curry house and has been endearing himself to the locals. It just seems no one told him much about its football club before taking him around for a visit.

    From the Telegraph:

    Tyson, who was in Peterborough to appear at a special ‘Evening With Mike Tyson’ on Thursday, came on the pitch at halftime and spoke to the crowd.

    And the former heavyweight world champion did not exactly endear himself to the Peterborough supporters, by admitting that he had not heard of their club before.

    “I’ve never heard of Peterborough before but as soon as I heard it was West Ham I thought, we’ve got to really give it to them,” Tyson said.

    Well, at least he was honest. But don’t let his reference to the club as “we” get your hopes up. He did not, in fact, run out onto the pitch in the second half and lay out West Ham’s XI with a devastating series of uppercuts, even though he was wearing a personalized Posh shirt. And that might be why Peterborough lost 2-1.
