Rapper Cassidy is wanted in Philadelphia for the murder of a 22-year-old man during an April 15 shooting. A warrant for his arrest was issued on June 8.

Michael Giampietro, Cassidy’s attorney, said he expects his client will surrender himself to authorities on Friday morning. A police spokesperson said when he does, Cassidy will be charged with conspiracy, weapons possession and homicide.

According to police, Cassidy (real name Barry Reese) and two other men, armed with .45 and .40 caliber handguns, 9 mm pistols, AK47 assault rifles and 7.62 mm rifles, fired on three other men during an argument that unfolded behind a house in the rapper’s northwest Philadelphia neighborhood just before 1 a.m. on April 15.

One of the men who was shot, Desmond Hawkins, 22, of Philadelphia, died from a gunshot wound to the back. The two other men were treated at area hospitals for gunshot wounds and subsequently released.

Police said a second warrant was also issued for 23-year-old Abdul West, also of Philadelphia, who, along with Cassidy, was one of the three shooters involved in the incident. Homicide detectives have been unable to identify the third shooter. Police were not immediately clear as to what Cassidy’s connection might have been to the two other shooters. But according to a spokesperson for the department, all of the men involved “knew each other.”

The three victims were reportedly unarmed at the time.

Cassidy, the first MC of significance to be supported by Swizz Beatz’s J-affiliated Full Service label, will release his sophomore album, I’m a Hustla, on June 28.

Comic Dave Chappelle has met with executives at Comedy Central for the first time since his unscheduled “spiritual retreat” in South Africa forced the suspension of the third season of his show.

Comedy Central President Doug Herzog met with Chappelle Friday in Los Angeles, network spokesman Tony Fox said.

Fox would not talk about what was discussed and when — or if — Chappelle would return to the network. A spokesman for Chappelle did not immediately return a call for comment.

Chappelle had two unannounced performances at a comedy club in Los Angeles last week. He has said he left for South Africa because he was unhappy with the direction of his show, which had been scheduled to start a third season on May 31, and denied reports of drug or mental problems.

Meanwhile, Comedy Central sold another 400,000 copies last week of its DVD of the show’s second season, for a total of 1.4 million so far. The first season’s DVD has sold 2.9 million copies, the biggest-selling DVD of a TV series of all time.

So while Im down in Miami I was listening to the radio and I heard this track from Jacki O absolutely murdering Foxy Brown. Once I got back in the office I just HAD to find this track! This stems from the incident that occured a few months back when Jacki O slap the taste out of Foxy’s mouth for getting slick with her at a Miami music studio. She breaks down into some creole in the song too – I didnt know she was Haitian. Foxy lets hear your rebuttal…

Take a listen: Jacki O – TKO (Foxy Brown Diss)

Jacki O – TKO lyrics:

sometimes you don’t ask for trouble
sometimes, trouble just comes to you
this is how i feel about trouble

just prepare for your departure cos i aint squashin shit
we could get it on the flow or ho we could empty clips
how you comin’ down south, tryn’a check me
you aint gotta like me but you gon’ respect me

ho motherfucker fox, wack bitch im a hunter
set 5 to minute tracks and bitch you just a runner
I didn’t wanna deck ya, but how your man let ya
come to 305 and run up on the chin checker
I damn near gave your classless ass an asthma attack
smacked ya down and kicked ya in your assless ass

how you got another deal when your lyrics aint real
whoever ghostwritin for ya need to write your will
confidant lies on what, i didnt want to contend with you
honest inga i dont think nobody remembers ya
fox bozo, foxy clown, foxy cotton or jello
shit i wanna see who the hell is the gepetto

how y’all bought that, wack ass throw back
BROOKLYYYYYYYN! you deserve better than a bitch on prozac
fastass tell your ghostwriter to turn down them ad-libs
(sung) you already know / what the god-damn track is

just prepare for your departure cos i aint squashin shit
we could get it on the flow or ho we could empty clips
how you comin’ down south, tryn’a check me
you aint gotta like me but you gon’ respect me (x2)

and if Kurupt gave a **** about a bitch you wouldn’t hate him
you walk around frusterated ho cos you AINT KIM
the fight is on, and i didn’t ignite the bomb
but i’m warning you it’s suicide if you try to respond

(sung) I fight long, and write strong, Lyrical Python
you’re probably mad, cos you can’t get your dyke on
so hike on, face it you intimidated in the interviews
check this before you even start rappin reckless
next time take a second, check what the set is

just prepare for your departure cos i aint squashin shit
we could get it on the flow or ho we could empty clips
how you comin’ down south, tryn’a check me
you aint gotta like me but you gon’ respect me (x2)

*CREOLE breakdown – spoke in different language*
creole words are said loud and violently, threatening words
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey (in backround)

Hit Her, Hurt Her, Smack Her Round
Queen Of The South I Dont Back Down
Insecure to the point it aint even funny

just prepare for your departure cos i aint squashin shit
we could get it on the flow or ho we could empty clips
how you comin’ down south, tryn’a check me

This aint south beach baby
see you done got off on the wrong exit
you was on the other side of the bridge
see you zigged when you should have zagged
mm-hmm

*Sentence said in Creole*
And I Dare You To Respond

Lionel Tate, the youngest person in modern U.S. history to be sentenced to life in prison, has been arrested after a pizza delivery man said the teenager pointed a gun at him.

Tate, now 18, was being held early Tuesday at the Broward County Jail on charges of armed robbery and armed burglary with battery.

He was serving probation following his release on a guilty plea to second-degree murder in the beating death of a 6-year-old family friend when he was 12. Tate was being held without bond on the probation violation charge and was expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday.

Tate called in a pizza order Monday from a friend’s apartment and pointed a gun at the delivery man when he arrived, said Broward sheriff’s spokeswoman Elizabeth Calzadilla-Fiallo. The man dropped the pizzas and called police after returning to the restaurant.

The man returned to the apartment complex with deputies, saw Tate in the area and identified him as the suspect, said Calzadilla-Fiallo. No gun was recovered.

‘Shocked and appalled’

Attorney Richard Rosenbaum, who has represented Tate, told The Associated Press that Tate and his mother called him as he was being arrested. “I heard he jacked a pizza delivery guy, which I can’t believe happened,” Rosenbaum said. “I’m shocked and appalled.”

Tate made headlines when he was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Tiffany Eunick. He was convicted in 1999 and sent to prison for life without chance of parole. He won a new trial on appeal and went free in January 2004 under a deal that placed him under house arrest for a year followed by probation for 10 years.

Tate first claimed Tiffany was injured when he imitated wrestling moves that he saw on television. He changed his story years later and said he accidentally killed Tiffany when he jumped on her from a staircase while his mother was baby-sitting the girl. Tate weighed 160 pounds; Tiffany weighed about 50.

He was arrested in September for violating probation by being out of his home overnight after an argument with his mother. A judge added another five years to the 10 years Tate had left on the original probation.

Whitney Houston, who checked into a rehab center on March 23 and was released late last month, is due to begin recording a new studio album next week, says her producer, Clive Davis.

The veteran music mogul tells TV’s Access Hollywood that Houston, 41, will be finishing an album that she had previously started.

This visit to rehab was the second time the singer had sought treatment in just over a year. In March 2004, Houston entered a facility for substance abuse – only to check out just five days later to begin private care.

According to a source close to the troubled diva, it was her mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, who petitioned a Georgia court to order her famous daughter to seek help in a rehab facility this year, PEOPLE reported.

Whitney eventually entered the Crossroads treatment center (founded by musician Eric Clapton) in Antigua, West Indies, leaving in late April after almost a month. She rejoined the family in an undisclosed Caribbean spot, an insider told PEOPLE.

Her rep confirmed that Houston is “entering the second phase of her treatment.” Cissy’s rep had no comment.

Meanwhile, plans for a reality show featuring Houston’s husband of 13 years, Bobby Brown, moved forward with the announcement that eight 30-minute episodes of Being Bobby Brown will air on Bravo starting June 30. The cable network promises that “the series will demystify Brown’s relationships with Houston” and their daughter Bobbi Kristina, among other things.

“It’s so amazing, if I can use that word,” Joyce told The Associated Press while grinning and giggling at the CBS season finale party.

Uchenna, 40, and Joyce, 44, from Houston, lugged boats in London, balanced water jugs on their heads in Africa and weighed complete strangers in Turkey — among other silly and strenuous tasks — in order to reach the finish line. Unlike previous seasons of “Amazing Race,” the racers didn’t travel around the globe, instead they semi-circled from Long Beach, California, through South America, Africa, India, Europe and the Caribbean to their final destination in Miami.

Because the Agus arrived last during a non-elimination leg before the home stretch, the couple was stripped of all their belongings and cash per the reality show’s nefarious rules. The Agus begged their way to the finish line but didn’t have enough money to pay their cab driver. Although they were only steps away the finish line and the $1 million prize, the Agus continued to beg from nearby strangers until they paid their cab fare.

“It was all about honor,” said Uchenna. “That cab driver was going to get his money.”

During an earlier stretch of the race in Jodhpur, India, Joyce agreed to shave her head as part of a Fast Forward challenge, allowing the Agus to skip to end of the leg. Uchenna cites that bold “sacrifice” as one of the turning points in the race.

“Once you shave it off, you have nothing to hide behind,” said Joyce. “People can actually see your soul. It’s so bizarre. I’m glad I did it.”

Much of the seventh season of “Amazing Race” was dominated by recently wed former “Survivor” contestants Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, 29, and Amber Brkich, 26, who placed second in the race. Dating couple Ron Young, 28, from Villa Rica, Georgia, and Kelly McCorkle, 26, from Greenville, South Carolina, placed third.

“We thought they were regular people like us,” said Joyce of Mariano and Brkich. “Really, it was an eye-opening experience when we got on the race and saw that their notoriety was so amazing and people all over the world recognized them. We tried to ignore all that and do our own race just to spite what was happening with them and obviously it still paid off.”

Uchenna, an energy broker who once worked for Enron, and Joyce, a sales manager who once worked for WorldCom, plan to use their earnings for “bills, bills, bills” and to take their family on their own amazing trip. The Agus, who’ve tried unsuccessfully to have a child in the past, also said they would use their $1 million prize toward a baby.

“My doctors offered us a free round of in vitro (fertilization),” said Joyce. “So after all this is over, if it doesn’t work out, we have the money. We can adopt.”

In a surprise announcement Wednesday, Comedy Central announced that the highly anticipated third season of Dave Chappelle’s will not make its May 31 premiere date.

“Comedy Central has suspended production on the third season of Chappelle’s Show until further notice,” network spokesman Tony Fox said in a brief statement. “All parties are optimistic that production will resume in the near future.”

No official reason was given for the shutdown, but sources told E! News that Chappelle has been MIA from the set for weeks.

In December, the network said that Chappelle’s Show was behind schedule after Chappelle fell ill, forcing the network to postpone the expected February debut of new episodes.

“Dave–and his entire production crew for that matter–got a bit of a late start on writing season three,” Fox told the New York Post. Production was slated to resume in January.

Last August, Chappelle, 31, reupped with Comedy Central in a massive two-year deal, valued at $50 million by the Hollywood Reporter. The deal also set a new Industry precedent–reportedly giving the funnyman a large cut of backend DVD sales.

Featuring Chappelle’s often raunchy standup, offbeat sketches and killer parodies of Prince and Rick James, Chappelle’s Show has steadily built a huge following since its January 2003. By the end of season two, the half-hour show was often pulling in more than 3 million viewers, a substantial number for basic cable. The first season currently ranks as the all-time top-selling TV show on DVD. (Paramount has indefinitely pushed back the release of the second season–the studio hopes to time the DVD to the start of season three.)

In addition to his gig at Comedy Central, Chappelle had been working on a book for Hyperion. No word on the book’s status; there’s also no word on the reported Rick James biopic for Paramount in which Chappelle would portray the late R&B wild man.

Miami rapper Jacki O confirmed that an altercation took place between her and Foxy Brown yesterday (April 24th) at Circle House studios in Miami, Florida.

According to Jacki O’s account, the altercation ensued after she invited the Brooklyn rapper into the studio, known for its amenities and opulence.

I was all for the idea of having her join us in the studio,” Jacki O said. “That shows how much respect I had for her.

Jacki O said Brown entered the studio and had some words for Jacki O, which she overheard.

According to Jacki O, Brown returned to the studio, words were exchanged and a physical altercation broke out between the two women.

This was not the way I wanted it to go down,” Jacki O stated. “I was looking forward to working with her on a song. We are two women in hip-hop and should be able to come to the table together. She forced me to show her who is the madam of Miami.

Representatives for Brown were not available to comment as of press time.

Comedian Chris Tucker was arrested in April 2005 and charged with reckless driving and fleeing to elude after he did not immediately pull over his speeding 2005 Bentley.

Tucker, 33, spent about 30 minutes in a McDuffie County lockup before posting cash bond and being released. According to cops, the “Rush Hour” star, an Atlanta native, was doing 109 mph on Interstate 20 when clocked by state troopers.
