AP reports: The executive who succeeded Jay-Z as the head of hip-hop music label Def Jam Recordings died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound near Atlanta, police said Sunday.
Executive vice president Shakir Stewart, 34, died on Saturday, his New York-based label said in a statement.
Stewart was found Saturday afternoon in the bathroom of his home in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Cobb County police spokeswoman Cassie Reece said Sunday. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Hip Hop News shares the statement of the company: “L.A. Reid and all of us at Island Def Jam Music Group are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague Shakir Stewart,” the statement reads. “Shakir was an amazing man, in every sense of the word. A truly incredible friend and father who was an inspiration to not only our artists and employees, but to his family and the many people who had the privilege of counting him as a friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time.”
Stewart’s fiancée, Michelle Rivers, released a joint statement on behalf of his family and friends to thank everyone for their love and support. The statement also reveals that the high-ranking executive was “in deep pain and largely suffering in silence” prior to his death. Stewart’s friends and Def Jam co-workers also released a similar statement.
Prowresting.net: The following report of Kurt Angle’s appearance on the Howard Stern Sirius satellite radio show was filed by Dot Net reader Jagger K.
This was one of the better Stern episodes since he came to Sirius because of the first time visit of Eric The Midget in studio. The way Kurt Angle got on the show was he delivered American Idol’s Diana DeGarmo, who is now involved with TNA. DiGarmo was always the object of affection from Eric The Midget, including Eric being known to call her mother at home requesting dates. Diana said she cannot say what her involvement is with TNA, but she will be appearing with them.
Palin was pranked by a Canadian radio station last night. The matter was reported by credible sources such as the MSNBC (Associated Press report) and commented upon by several blogs.
The prank comes at a critical time, when we are all counting down the hours to the US election, costing the Republicans much needed votes at the last minute. The matter is expected to receive significant coverage in Monday’s papers, and effect undecided voters.
Another movie which loses points in style and content in the eternal sacrifice for cash. It’s absolutely notmal to have sex and sin featured in a move about the Story of Ted Binion, but it’s another thing to lose the ever-important charisma and soul of the city of Las Vegas.
C’est la vie….
Detroit News: The name of Lifetime’s new made-for-TV movie is “Sex and Lies in Sin City: The Ted Binion Scandal,” but there’s only one problem. There is too much sex and sin and not enough city.
Seriously, how can you have a movie based in Las Vegas and show very little of the lights and grit that make the city what it is? Not to mention the fact that Binion (Matthew Modine) is a casino-owning billionaire, and showing how and where he made his money would’ve been nice.
To be fair, the movie, which is based on a true story, is mostly about Binion’s possible murder/suicide case. That said, the man did have a life and a fast-paced, hard-partying reputation, and that is glossed over all too quickly.
With the double murder of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother, and Hudson’s niece missing, her estranged husband, William Balfour has been named a suspect.
Associated Content Article: The murder of Oscar winning singer Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother has shocked her fans and well wishers around the world. Even worse, Hudson’s nephew is still missing and was put on Amber Alert. In the police’s search for the killer/abductor, they have taken William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister, into custody.
…
On MySpace, Balfour calls himself “Flex” and describes himself in an entire paragraph of capital letters. Balfour/Flex typed on MySpace that “I HAVE A WIFE HER NAME IS JULIA, AND I ALSO HAVE A 6 YR OLD STEPSON, I DON’T TOLERATE BULLS**T, SO DON’T COME TO ME WITH IT” Balfour’s motto on MySpace is “FLEX A MILLION, THATS WHAT U BETTER CALL ME.”
So Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother have been murdered. Not trash. One really wonders what could have caused this double-murder. Perez Hilton has written extensively about it. According to him- “The shooting is believed to be domestic, police said.”
Reuters: The Chicago Tribune said one of the victims was Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donnerson. The entertainment website TMZ, citing a neighbor, said Hudson’s brother Jason also was found dead.
A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies, TMZ said. The Tribune, quoting police, said the killings may be linked to a domestic disturbance.
