...ceremony in New York City. But even millionaires get wedding blues. Simmons missed a connecting flight and was briefly stranded in Puerto Rico. The wedding is expected to be quite an affair: MARTHA STEWART RSVPed; model TYRA BANKS is a bridesmaid; and Simmons' brother JOSEPH (a.k.a. Run of the rap group RUN-D.M.C.), a minister, is scheduled to perform the ceremony...
Anointed the next Tupac Shakur by the hip-hop press, the performer DMX has one of the better voices in rap: low, raw, charismatic.

He targeted Luciano, calling him "the czar of organized crime in this city," and charged him with multiple counts of compulsory prostitution. The trial was sensational. Tabloids went wild. Lucky vehemently denied being a pimp. "It's a bum rap," he said, a lament echoed down the years to modern Miami, where a few aging mobsters remember the man. "Nobody had anything bad to say about Charlie," one of them told me. "He's the one who put it all together. A gentleman. He'd give a girl a hundred...
