MyFoxDetroit.com: DETROIT – Two women and a bus driver mix it up while a passenger records the entire incident. The fight started after one woman missed the bus. When she finally boarded, she wasn’t happy. Police are watching the video deciding who to charge with what.

“She knocked on the door. Bus driver opened up the door,” the aforementioned passenger said.

According to him, she was heated, mad and furious, and she had more than a few foul words for the bus driver. That’s when he grabbed his camera and pushed record.

Chad Ocho Cinco Buys Dancing w/ The Stars Partner Cheryl Burke $10,000 “Friend” Ring



Cincinatti Bengals star wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco is obviously fond of his Dancing With The Stars partner Cheryl Burke.

So much so, he put a $10,000 ring designed by Jason The Jeweler on her finger as a show of appreciation for all the hard work she’s put in.

Known for his eccentric ways and elaborate touchdown celebrations, Chad gave the ring to Cheryl on one knee.

He told UsMagazine, “she has to deal with me nine hours a day. It’s like a marriage, so why not give marriage gifts? I don’t spend time with anyone like this — ever!

For her part, Cheryl seems to be in shock.

She Told ETOnline, “I fainted a little. A little concussion. [He] gave it to me in the trailer on one knee. And it’s on my ring finger.”

Not even any of my boyfriends have given me anything like this!

When asked if there was a future romance in the making Cheryl says, “You never know.”

Kanye West’s Next Album To Drop In June


Kanye West is finishing up his long-awaited follow-up to 808s and Heartbreaks, reports Billboard.com.

The album, which has been referred to titled Good Ass Job, will reportedly feature production from artists such as Q-Tip, RZA and Pete Rock. “I just try to work with people who I admire or whom I think has got it,” said Tip in an interview with Brooklyn Bodega. “So right now I’m working on Nas’ shit, about to work with Kanye on his shit.”

According to Roc4Life.com, RZA and Pete Rock were in Hawaii recording with Kanye, though Pete Rock refuted the claim via his Twitter page, and said the trip was “just a vacation.” Pete Rock did, however, allude to a secret project he was working on, which would fall in line with previous West collaborators.

Good Ass Job is set to hit stores in June, according to G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean.

Lil Wayne’s Prison Job Revealed


RollingStone Reports:

Lil Wayne makes his living as the bestselling rapper on the planet, but while serving his year-long jail sentence at New York’s Rikers Island, Weezy has entirely new job: keeping watch over suicidal inmates.

Antonia “Toya” Johnson, the mother of one of Wayne’s children, tells Us Weekly, “Wayne has a job. They got him on suicide watch for other prisoners. He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don’t kill themselves.”

Finding himself in a 9-to-5, albeit in prison, Weezy shares a similar complaint with much of the working population. “He likes the job even though they don’t pay him much,” Toya says of the Young Money multimillionaire.
