Last year, the stunning news came that Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch was stricken with cancer. The discovery was made when doctors found a tumor on one of his salivary glands. After catching the tumor early, though, and engaging in rounds of preliminary treatments, it seems that Yauch is in full remission, and more than anxious to get back to work with the rest of the group. Yauch posted a message on the Beastie Boys’ website, saying that they were now ready to resume working on “Hot Sauce Committee, Part 1,” a project that was put on indefinite hiatus after Yauch’s tragic diagnosis. “It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor’s orders,” Adam said. “We may or may not [release the album] depending on how my health is come September. Yauch has admitted to, understandably, lacking the energy necessary to meet the demands of a touring schedule, but says that he is slowly and surely regaining strength and hopes to return to normal sooner than later.<---This is great news. I've never seen The Beastie Boys in concert, but i would love to! Hoping for a full recovery for one of hip hop's pioneers.
Lil Wayne finally made it to the big house. The rapper was sentenced to criminal court for a year yesterday after being caught with a loaded gun on his tour bus back in 2007. His time will be reduced to eight months, pending good behavior. His lawyer says that he’ll continue to make music while behind bars.<---It's like he's allergic to jail lol. Damn he got lucky a few times. Well atleast we have TI back to keep us occupied until Weezy gets out.
Marie Osmond said goodbye to her son, Michael Bryan, at his funeral yesterday. Marie said at the ceremony, “I’m proud of my son and I honor his birth mother who’s here today who gave me the greatest gift. Thank you for those beautiful 18 years.” (Michael’s biological mother was reportedly in attendance.) Marie’s son took his own life just a couple of weeks ago by jumping out of his 8th story apartment in L.A.<---This is so tragic. Praying for the Osmond family.
The weekend box office was ruled by “Alice in Wonderland,” which we all knew it would be. The new Tim Burton film, starring Johnny Depp, took in $116.1 million. The film is an updated, bizarre and twisted take on the Lewis Carroll classic.<--- I've heard the movie is a little creepy but I will have to see for myself. Can't wait to check this one out.
