90's rapper Coolio caught a lucky break this week, avoiding jail time for his recent crack possession and battery charges.

The California entertainer, famous for living in a 'Gangsta's Paradise,' faced three years in prison if found guilty on the charges, stemming from a March 6 bust at LAX, where officials found crack cocaine and smoking paraphernalia in the rapper's luggage.

Coolio attempted to avoid the search and seizure by physically fighting off authorities at the airport, tacking a misdemeanor battery charge on top of his felony possession.

90's rapper Coolio made headlines again for his involvement in some hi jinx that occurred at a Milan fashion party last week.

The MC, best known for his 1995 hit 'Gangsta's Paradise,' was in attendance at the Paul & Betty fashion brand party at the Sheraton Diana Majestic Hotel, in Milan, Italy where he was seen partying with an Italian model/TV personality, Rosy Dilettuso.

The model sat on Coolio's lap, when suddenly her hand "slipped" onto the rapper's crotch. While the papparazzi snapped shot after shot, Dilettuso appeared to massage Coolio's "privates," while laughing and sipping champagne.

Lil Wayne was in Yuma, Arizona on Tuesday (June 23), attending a pre-trial update for a January 2008 arrest in the surrounding area.

The multi-platinum rapper who has a serious history of legal troubles, was arrested along with two members of his entourage at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint just east of Yuma. A search of his tour bus turned up cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun.

Weezy was ordered to appear at a preliminary hearing for the investigation into the drug & weapons charges, after pleading not guilty to possession of dangerous drugs, drug paraphernalia and weapons misconduct.

New York rapper Tru Life turned himself in to authorities on June 23. He reportedly faces a first degree murder charge. While the early accounts are somewhat sketchy, the charge appears to be related to a stabbing that occurred in a Manhattan apartment building last week, leaving one man critically injured and an unnamed teen dead.

Police were allegedly investigating the infamous Lower East Side rapper's brother in regards to the stabbing, a retaliation for an earlier non-fatal shooting of an alleged drug dealer named Michael Slater, who was shot last week, outside of club Pacha in NYC.

R&B singer Usher's soon-to-be ex-wife Tameka Foster-Raymond has had it with her divorce lawyer Randy Kessler. The only problem is, she let her Twitter followers know before she told him.

The 38-year-old mother of five "mistakenly" posted a response to friend and attorney Star Jones asking if she knew of a good lawyer. "My lawyer = horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta," she wrote.

After recognizing her mistake, Foster-Raymond posted a comment on her page. "Please delete this...it was a mistake. Not for [people] to see. I'm sorry."

Kessler, a prominent Atlanta divorce attorney is known for his celebrity clientele. Per his firm's website, representing high profile clients is "twice as challenging as rewarding as it is challenging." In the days following news of her split, Foster-Raymond appeared to be in good spirits. She attended a movie premiere in Atlanta with her three of her five children, and was recently snapped wearing her wedding ring.

Their day in court finally arrived but it wasn't nearly as interesting as you might think. Pop/R&B diva Rihanna made an appearance in court and was expected to take the stand against ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but a plea deal put the whole thing to rest rather quickly.

The 30-minute hearing, which was closed off to the media, resulted in Brown pleading guilty to felony assault. The judge slapped him with a 180-day sentence in a labor diversion program plus five years probation for allegedly assaulting Rihanna. He was also ordered to stay away from the singer, born Robyn Fenty, and complete a domestic violence counseling program.

"My understanding is that the deal was put on the table today," Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra explained. "Rihanna was advised of the deal earlier today and she has no objections to the agreement." Etra also stated that although his client was "fully prepared to testify" she did not do so because prior to the hearing Brown plead guilty to the assault charge. Rihanna never actually entered the courtroom but did meet with the judge inside the courthouse.

"The specifics of the stay away order is that Chris cannot come within 50 yards of Rihanna" Etra said. However, the five-year order will be reduced to 10 yards if the two are attending the same event. The judge also informed Rihanna that she is not to contact Chris either, as it will be a violation on his part. Etra went on to say that Rihanna felt that a stay away order was not necessary. The judge decided to keep it in place but will re-consider the terms of the order following Brown's next court date in August.

Geto Boys rapper Willie D was arrested in May for running an iPhone scam operation on eBay. The 42-year-old Houston MC, born William James Dennis, allegedly posed as an electronics salesman for a phone company called Texas One Wireless, directing buyers away from the popular internet auction site to conduct iPhone sales via email.

Once the funds were sent, Dennis would cease communication, failing to send the product for which he was paid. Since the transactions were conducted outside of eBay, the buyers had no official recourse, so they were forced to contact the authorities.

On June 9th, Dennis was indicted on 15 counts of wire fraud. He faces up 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
