			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/main-74.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10604" title="main-74" src="http://straightfromthea.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2009/02/main-74.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>Newsflash! <strong>Suge Knight</strong> has been knocked the f*ck out&#8230; AGAIN!  Last night during a party at the W Hotel in Phoenix two groups of men began arguing in the V.I.P. sections. Officers arrived and said they watched as a group of about six to eight guests exited the VIP area. Police said they saw one person, later identified as Robert Carnes Jr., punch Knight in the head two times.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The officers arrested Thomas Anderson (left) and Robert Carnes (right) and and booked them into Scottsdale City Jail last night. Carnes allegedly attempted to drop names to avoid arrest, as he told officers that he was Akon&#8217;s business manager. <em>*Akon&#8217;s publicist later corrected Carnes in a statement released below.*</em> Knight was transported to Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn Hospital, where he was treated for extensive facial injuries.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>ANDERSON is charged with 1 count of misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct. CARNES Jr. is charged with 1 count of Felony Aggravated Assault. (Felony charge is due to the severity of the victim&#8217;s injuries.)&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em></em><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Akon&#8217;s people tell us, &#8220;Akon had already left the party and was in his hotel room at The W when the incident occurred.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Akon&#8217;s publicist released the following statement about Robert Carnes Jr., the guy accused of beating Suge&#8217;s ass: &#8220;He is not Akon&#8217;s business manager, David Bolno is. He is with Akon&#8217;s camp.&#8221; (Source <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/16/suge-knight-beat-down-again/#continuedcontents" target="_blank">1</a> and <a href="http://www.kpho.com/news/18725234/detail.html#-" target="_blank">2</a> )</p></blockquote>
<p>Everybody wants to punch on Suge&#8230;I almost feel bad for him.</p>
<p><a href="http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/suge_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10601" title="suge_1" src="http://straightfromthea.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2009/02/suge_1-300x271.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="271" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Poor thang&#8230;he&#8217;ll never live this down.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Akon, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy celebrate the life of the rich and famous in the new video for &#8220;I&#8217;m So Paid&#8221;. The song is the first single from Akon&#8217;s upcoming, &#8220;Freedom&#8221; cd, which drops November 25th.  Honestly, I like the song and all jokes aside, I honestly feel that <a href="http://necolebitchie.com/2008/10/24/akon-responds-to-im-so-paid-controversy" target="_blank">Akon&#8217;s response to the controversy</a> surrounding the drop was heartfelt. Yes&#8230;we are in a recession and people are losing their jobs and homes everyday and No&#8230;it&#8217;s not his fault that he&#8217;s still rich as hell.  Get over it. Dance to the song and move on.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Check out this behind the scenes video of Akon, Lil Wayne and Jeezy during the &#8220;So Paid&#8221; video shoot. I think the song is braggadocios, especially when there are tons of people losing their jobs&#8230;but oh well. Akon says this is going to be one of his favorite videos cause he can &#8220;relate&#8221;.  I can see that.  Especially since White women, Lamborghini&#8217;s and blood diamonds seem to be a recurring theme in the vid&#8230; </p>
