Say What! -- Ludacris on Bill O'Reilly: 'The Look on His Face was Priceless' + More

Ludacris rolled up on right-wing talk show host Bill O'Reilly, who cost him his Pepsi endorsement back in 2002, at a recent charity function, and the two allegedly came to a mutual understanding. "The first thing I said to him was, 'I want to meet the guy who has had so much to say about me, but knows absolutely nothing about me,' " Ludacris told Radar Online. "I identified that I wanted to speak to him when I saw his name on the guest list. I looked at what table he was on and I walked my a-s straight to that table...He wasn't expecting to see me at all. The look on his face when he saw me approaching ... priceless." Wish they caught that moment on tape. [RadarOnline]

Jessica Simpson can't seem to save face lately. The singer/actress talked with I Heart Radio about various things, including the fact that she doesn't feel the need to brush her teeth, ever. "I don't brush my teeth. No, really. I just use Listerine, and sometimes I'll use my sweater," said the sexy starlet. "But I still put on my face creams, they're next to my bed." Oh, to be that sweater. Just kidding, hey Jessica, I love you. Seriously. [CeleBuzz]

DMX to Appear on 'Celebrity Rehab?'

RapDMXper DMX might just get the help he needs for his alleged drug addiction, that is if the folks over at 'Celebrity Rehab' have anything to do with it. TMZ is reporting that the VH1 reality show -- aimed at helping fallen celebrities overcome drug addiction -- is looking to snag X for its next season.

Following his most recent arrest for probation violation, X's lawyer Gary Jenkins pleaded for the help of 'Celebrity Rehab' host and chief physician Dr. Drew Pinsky. "He's been battling addiction for some time and he's in need of treatment." Said Jenkins. "We're hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him."

Prison Officials Forebid Lil Wayne from Signing Autographs

Though he has only spent four days in jail, it has already become clear that rapper Lil Wayne doesn't fit in with the general population.

The incarcerated MC has already been forced to remove his $100,000 diamond and gold grill from his mouth and undergo eight root canals in order to avoid problems, and now he's being warned not to sign autographs for his fellow inmates.

According to reports, officials at New York City's Rikers island, where Wayne is currently serving a one-year sentence for a weapons violation, have enacted a strict no-autograph policy for the length of the rapper's stay.

"Lil Wayne is not a celebrity in here," said a representative for the correction officers.

The multi-platinum-selling MC began serving his sentence on Monday, March 8, but might see release in as little as eight months time, if he receives good behavior.

Michael Jackson's Furniture Goes Up for Auction

Michael Jackson's custom made furniture used to fill his London home during his ill-fated This Is It Tour is set to go up on the auction block June 25, one year after the music legend's death. Comprised of 22 pieces, the collection includes a red velvet sofa that seats nine, and a leopard print chair trimmed with ostrich feathers. The handmade Italian pieces will be sold by Julien's Auction auctions at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood.

The furniture auctions kicks off the first of a three-day sale to include 200 items from the life and career of Jackson and other music icons. The auction house, known for its sale of celebrity memorabilia, also sold Jackson's famed glittery glove, worn the night he debuted the moonwalk during the Motown 25th Anniversary Special in 1983.

E-40, Celly Cel and More Appear on Medical Marijuana Advocate's Debut Album

E-40Medical marijuana advocate Ken Estes is a controversial figure to some, but to members of the Bay Area rap scene, he is a hero.

The wheelchair-bound activist has worked to reform marijuana laws for more than 20 years, battling the U.S. Government and appearing in segments on CNN and FOX news programs, before attempting a new tactic; using music to get his message out to people.

In 2008, Estes and Cali rapper DJ Ignite collaborated on an 11-minute rap song and video entitled 'Leave Ken Alone,' a reference to the numerous raids on Estes' medical marijuana dispensaries, for which he had legal permits. The song was awarded Best Medical Song of 2008 by the American Marijuana Music Awards.

Death Row Suffers More Money Drama

Death RowThe mighty tend to fall, but this whole Death Row record label saga is getting a bit ridiculous. After Suge Knight got arrested too many times and had to give up stake in his former empire, it was snapped up by a company called WIDEawake Entertainment. The business received a loan from New Solutions Capital Group for the reported $18 million acquisition, but it hasn't been paid it back yet.

This comes as WIDEawake tries to re-release some of the labels classics to make money back without permission. In February, they put an expanded version of Dr. Dre's undeniably classic 'The Chronic' back on shelves and got sued by the good D.O.C. just as quickly for not paying royalties and neglecting to seek artist approval. With that lawsuit and the current debt -- which has jumped to between $23 million and $25 million since the loan -- things aren't looking so good for the West Coast powerhouse.
