Last week, just a day after Shakur's arrest, Flavor Flav, 34, court jester of the otherwise unsmiling rap group Public Enemy, was arrested for attempted murder. On Tuesday morning Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, accused a neighbor, Thelouizs English, of fooling with his girlfriend. After Drayton pulled a gun, English fled to the lobby, where Drayton allegedly caught up with him, took a shot and missed. Released on $15,000 bail, Drayton, who once served 20 days in jail for punching his girlfriend, checked into the Betty Ford Center. His record company says he is seeking treatment...
