Baltimore Mayor Hospitalized for Starbucks Habit

BALTIMORE — Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who was taken to a hospital early Thursday after she complained of numbness and chest pain, has been released after a series of tests.

Rawlings-Blake said her trip to the hospital was precautionary, and she was given a “100 percent clean bill of health.” She said the symptoms were triggered by a gastrointestinal problem and were not stress-related.

“I just need to slow down my Starbucks habit,” the mayor said. “I will learn to follow my own advice and not have four shots of espresso after 6 o’clock at night.”

I really enjoyed Iron Man. Hopefully the second will be just as good.

As a huge Antique Roadshow fan I was excited to see this next video. I posted the previous record item on the site many months back (Navajo chief’s blanket). Today we have a new record.

Break.com stated it best, “This chick is told her goofy looking bowls are valued at nearly a million dollars and she has set a new record value for the show and she responds as if you just complemented her on her nice shoes.”

I am not sure if I should be embarrassed or not, but I really enjoyed the Handsome Men’s Club bit on Jimmy Kimmel.

Lil' Wayne has started his term.

New York (CNN) — Lil’ Wayne was sentenced Monday to a year in prison.

The rapper, whose legal name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to felony gun charges as part of a deal with prosecutors.

The charges stem from his arrest in 2007 outside New York City’s Beacon Theater. According to police, Carter had a .40-caliber pistol on his tour bus. His attorney said it belonged to someone else.

His sentencing was delayed twice — first so he could get dental work done, including removal of his diamond-studded braces, then because of a fire at a Manhattan courthouse.

At Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, the room was packed with onlookers, while more people crowded outside.

Carter was offered the chance to make a statement but declined, shaking his head.

His attorney requested that Carter have protective custody while he is incarcerated. The attorney also requested medical attention because of his recent dental surgery.

As Carter was leaving the courtroom, a fan said to him, “Keep your head up, Weezy,” using the rapper’s nickname.

Another man wore a T-shirt that said “Free Weezy.”

Carter also faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona.

Lil’ Wayne is a multiplatinum-selling and Grammy-winning rap artist. His hits include “The Block is Hot” and “Lollipop.” His album “Tha Carter III” was the top selling disc of 2008. His latest album, “Rebirth,” was released last month.
