Big Boi: Charged

According to HuffPost Celebrity, rapper Big Boi of Outkast was booked on 3 counts of drug posession charges in Miami yesterday around 1:35pm ET. The 36 year old rap star, whose real name is Antwan Patton, illegally possessed ecstasy and viagra pills, allegedly. Now released, his bond was set at $16,000.

His attorney released this statement: “While Big Boi was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage I am confident when the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated.’

Big Boi tweeted this upon his release: "Fresh Out Baby!" He later tweeted, "Shiiiiit they said it was the Love Boat."

Considering the whole viagra thing (ALLEGEDLY) and being locked up (if only for a little while)... we're not understanding the "Love Boat" reference in his tweet. Perhaps not the right choice of words.

Amy Winehouse (1983-2011)

An unbelievable talent, who rant and roast wished would have found the strength to get it together, died Saturday, July 23, 2011 at her London home. She was 27.

This is a great loss to the music industry and pop culture. Voices like that are rare finds.

Lohan Saved Once Again

(Update: see previous post for initial story)
Lindsay will not have to serve jail time because she only had to do alcohol and drug testing from January 3rd to February 25th of this year. Since the test she took and tested positive for happened after that time period, Lohan is free to live in her Venice home and not a jail cell.

However Judge Sautner did lay down some more rules while Lindsay is serving her house arrest sentence and they are as follows:

No parties at her home
Members of her family can hang at her house but only 1 friend at a time is allowed to

So it seems this girl is free to do some druggin and drinkin whenever she feels like it...

Lohan Is Back...

Yes, Lindsay Lohan is due back in court today for a possible violation of her probation. What did she do this time? Lindsay failed to pass an alcohol test earlier this month according to TMZ.

After given the test twice, she passed one of two for alcohol and past both tests for drugs. Lindsay is due back in LA County Superior Court this morning. Stay tuned for more details.

Winehouse Cancels The Rest Of Tour After Performance In Belgrade

Check out last Sunday's post of Miss Amy's first stop on her tour in Serbia here: http://rantandroast.blogspot.com/2011/06/oh-amy.html

The entire video is sad, however it gets worse starting around the 2:13 mark. The chick singing in the audience does not make this fiasco any better by the way.
