Master P’s brother C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, was sentenced to ten years in prison for second degree attempted murder charges in 2001.

Miller pleaded no contest to the charges on Wednesday, May 21, 2009. Miller’s trial began today where he was accused of trying to shoot the owner of Club Raggs in Baton Rouge, LA., along with a bouncer at Plank Road Nightclub in 2001.

Check out the video of the shooting incident below:

You may not have heard of Dolla before today, but he was an aspiring rapper out of Atlanta, Georgia. Dolla was murdered Monday afternoon, after the perpetrator brandished a gun at The Beverly Center in L.A. and shot him in the head.

That was the only photo that I could locate of the victim, from a 2008 CD, titled, “I’m Tore Up”.

TMZ has found out the identity of the suspect, who was trying to board a plane at LAX, with a gun. The perp, Aubery Berry, who was sitting there at the airport:

LAX police spotted a man who matched the description, sitting in the lobby area of Terminal 1. Cops approached Berry and almost immediately he said he knew why cops were there and then raised his hands and told them he had a 9 millimeter handgun in his waistband.

R.I.P. Dolla, he was only 21.

Rapper T.I. will be heading to Arkansas on May 26th to serve his one-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges.

He will be credited for 305 days of home detention and will likely serve only 60 days, as opposed to the full year’s sentence.

T.I. will be on probation for three years, following his release, and he has also been ordered to pay a $100,000 fine.

Before heading to the prison, it was rumored that he would be releasing a new video for “Never Forget”.

Pearl Jam’s bass player, Jeff Ament was arriving at the studio in his SUV when three guys jumped out of the bushes and busted his windows. Jeff tried to run, but was caught by one of the guys who hit him in the head and left him with a gash.

The thieves made off with $3,000 in cash in addition to $4,000 in computers and equipment. This is just awful and we can only hope that the thieves can be identified and brought to justice.

Get well soon Jeff!

For all of who you love me to death or can’t stand the crap that I spew about Miley Cyrus, feel free to talk with me in real time on my Twitter.

Click here to follow Earsucker and maybe you can suggest a better icon than that fairy chick I’m usin’.

Courtney Love thinks she’s rock royalty and that she can try to hook her 16-year-old daughter with anyone she wants. And that includes Twilight star Robert Pattinson.

That’s Rob, pre-haircut days. Think he’s interested in being Frances’ first date? And if you thought it was creepy that Miley Cyrus was dating a 20-year-old, then this is super creepy. I mean, sure he’s a new breakout “heartthrob” and everything, but isn’t it illegal?

A source says, “Courtney thinks he’s charming and handsome and absolutely has to be Frances’ first date. She’s doing everything she can to engineer another meeting.”

What would Kurt Cobain do?

This had to be the best birthday present ever. A special thank you to all of the Miley Cyrus nutjobs for giving me something to laugh at today.

I’ll update some more when my hungover self wakes up in the morning! Nite!

I know this has nothing really to do with music. But I wanted to give a shout out in rememberance to Bernie Mac, who passed away today.

He suffered from complications due to pneumonia. He was expected to make a full recovery. He was only 50 years old.

Rest in peace, Bernie Mac.

Usually I do a Musical Tidbits piece, but today, I’m gonna do whatever I want. It’s Joe Elliott’s birthday, in case you haven’t noticed, so it gives me free reign to do whatever the heck I want. And today, I feel like spreading the link love around. So please feel free to enjoy the posts below:

Now usually I don’t use this blog to peddle my wares at all, cuz you know I don’t endorse CRAP. (Except for endless amounts of Def Leppard concerts).
