...Winners KRS-ONE Rapper organizes U.N. Hip-Hop Conference for Peace, proves that despite sluggish record sales, he can still get in the news for something AHMED AL-ABBADI Jordanian M.P. bites off part of rival politician's ear in a parliamentary brawl. MORGAN PRESSEL Twelve-year-old golfer is youngest ever to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. Maybe this will impress that totally hot guy in pre-algebra
...have much else in common with Eminem, but Helmuth Rilling, like the raunchy rapper, won a Grammy this year. Rilling, artistic director for the Oregon Bach Festival, got his for conducting the festival orchestra and chorus in a recording of Krzysztof Penderecki's Credo, an original work co-commissioned by the festival.

Why? Partly because he was one heck of an artist and partly because of the secrets that...
...only use his waist to keep my Glock in," hip-hop star JAY-Z declared on his last album. That claim sounded eminently plausible last week, when police allegedly found a loaded Glock in the waistband of Jay-Z's bodyguard Hamza Hewitt after stopping a car containing the rapper, Hewitt and two other men. All four were arrested and charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Jay-Z's lawyer stated that his client was not guilty, helpfully adding that "other celebrities have often used armed security guards." Jay-Z's arrest came shortly before...
