Trouble finds DMX again. He's arrested for failing to appear in court, after recent arrests for a drug and having no valid driver's license. He was also arrested twice in May and awaits trial on animal cruelty charges.

The rapper's real name is Warren Griffin III. Both he and the driver were booked on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance.

They each posted $20,000 bail and were released. A phone message left for Griffin's agent, Al Hassas, was not immediately returned Sunday.

Warren G was nominated for a Grammy in 1995. He was arrested in 1996 for carrying a loaded assault weapon in his truck.

Why do people keep blaming the oil companies??? The oil companies receive 8 cents per gallon. The government receives 16.5 cents per gallon. The government is constantly yelling about the oil companies..but they forget to tell us that they take double the profit for each gallon in taxes.

Furthermore, the liberal government...refuses to let us drill or build new refineries. It is time to simply ignore the foolish environmentalists...and DRILL NOW for our own oil. Even China is now drilling 70 miles off our southern border..for oil..how ridiculous is that?

Liberalism=Socialism=Communism=Dictatorship....we need to end liberalism if America is to survive.

NO OBAMANATION..THE MAN IS A FARCE..A SHARLATAN..THE "PRINCE WITH THE GOLDEN TONGUE" HE IS NOT TO BE BELIEVED. OBAMA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RABID SOCIALIST...LISTEN CAREFULLY TO HIM AND YOU WILL SEE.

I'd like to see weed legalized, till then, I'd like to see celebs get into just as much trouble for it as I would if I got caught. Liberty and Justiice for All, All men are created equal, etc. Why don't "Mandatory" drug sentencing laws apply to celebs if we are all equal and it is "Mandatory".

Perhaps you need to work on the definition of the word "star" which you used to pull us into this bit of news. A "star" he is not.
