Michael Duncan Hospitalized For Cardiac Arrest

“The Green Mile” star and Academy Award-nominated Michael Clarke Duncan is in the intensive care unit (ICU), after going in to cardiac arrest Friday morning, and his girlfriend, reality show villainess Omarosa Stallworth, actually saved his life.

Stallworth reportedly discovered that Duncan was unconscious and barely breathing at around 2:00 a.m. Acting quickly, Stallworth reportedly began to perform emergency CPR, which resuscitated him.

The 54-year-old Duncan, who is 6’5 and more than 315 pounds, was transported to the ICU of a nearby hospital, and according to sources, his heart is stable. In addition, Omarosa, his girlfriend of two years, has not left his side throughout the entire episode.

Doctors are now working to find out why Duncan’s heart failed in the first place.

In 2009, Duncan stopped eating meat, became a staunch vegetarian, and began touting the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.

Florida DJ Sues Usher Over ‘Hey Daddy’ Single

Florida DJ Sues Usher Over ‘Hey Daddy’ Single

A Florida DJ filed a lawsuit against Usher claiming that he created the original beat for the singer’s “Hey Daddy” single.

Aubrey Davis, also known as DJ Mixx, claims that back in 2008 he made a beat titled “Let’s Go,” and shopped it around for songwriters. Usher was given the track by a mutual contact, and the song allegedly became “Hey Daddy,” the lead single off his Raymond vs. Raymond album. The 33-year-old also copyrighted the record. Now, Davis and his lawyers–Singh, Singh & Trauben– are firing back, seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Released in December of 2009, the song peaked in the No. 2 spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, giving Usher his third consecutive top five R&B hit.

Beanie Sigel Gets Two Years In Prison For Stiffing The Feds On Back Taxes

Beanie Sigel Gets Two Years In Prison For Stiffing The Feds On Back Taxes

It must be en vogue to not pay the feds, particularly if you’re a celebrity. Rapper Beanie Sigel apparently joined the elite club of artists who dodge tax bills, but Uncle Sam has now put the cuffs on him.

The Philly rapper was just sentenced to spend two years in prison for stiffing the government out of more than $700,000 in back taxes for the years 1999 to 2005.

Sigel, whose actual name is Dwight Grant, pleaded guilty to tax charges in August of last year. A judge imposed a year of supervised release after the sentence which was supposed to give Sigel enough time to pay his debt to the feds. He failed to do so and told the judge he accepted full responsibility for not satisfying the whopping debt.

He has until September 12 to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons. Sigel reportedly earned more than $3 million between 1999 and 2005, but only paid $10,000 in taxes.

Target Stores Refuse To Carry Frank Ocean's Channel Orange Debut

Target Stores Refuse To Carry Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange Debut

Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange debut quickly topped iTunes charts when it was released earlier in the week, but when the physical album is available one place you won’t find it at is Target. Ocean confirmed via Twitter that the project will not be sold by the retail giant. “Album won’t be available at target,” he wrote Wednesday. “Blame it on a generational gap. best buy on deck though.”

Target explained that their choice not to carry the release was fueled by Ocean’s decision to prematurely drop the digital version. “At Target, we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, so our selection of new releases is dedicated to physical CDs rather than titles that are realized digitally in advance of the street date,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

The 24-year-old’s musical reign is evident, as his album is expected to push between 110,000-125,000 units its first week. Given the fact that the project  had little promotion, and was also streamed on his Tumblr page, the aforementioned numbers are no small feat.

Channel Orange hits stores July 17.
