Rapper Tyler the Creator was charged with vandalism after he allegedly trashed sound equipment inside the world famous Roxy on Sunset Blvd.

The 20-year-old “Best New Artist” winner had performed at the venue earlier in the evening.

The police were called by Roxy staff around 11:30 p.m. Tyler was taken into custody in front of his mother who was visibly upset.

LOS ANGELES — Robert De Niro is a father again.

Stan Rosenfield, the 68-year-old actor’s spokesman, says De Niro and his 56-year-old wife, Grace Hightower, welcomed a healthy 7-pound, 2-ounce baby girl named Helen Grace Hightower through a surrogate mother.

She is the couple’s second child. Their son, Elliot, is 13. No other details were provided.

The “New Year’s Eve” and “Limitless” star has four other children from previous relationships.

LOS ANGELES — Melanie Amaro has “The X Factor.”

The powerful 19-year-old vocalist from Sunrise, Fla., won the Fox talent competition last Thursday over soulful 30-year-old singer Josh Krajcik of Wooster, Ohio.

Amaro, who was mentored by judge Simon Cowell and was at one point eliminated then reinstated to the contest, was awarded the grand prize: a $5 million recording contract and a starring role in a Pepsi commercial.

“Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God,” Amaro repeated after host Steve Jones announced her as the champion.

Despite continued prodding from Jones, an overly emotional Amaro couldn’t quite formulate words when she was revealed to have captured the most viewer votes, and she struggled through tears to reprise Beyonce’s “Listen,” the soaring ballad that Amaro crooned at her audition and on Wednesday’s final performance round.

Vinson Hardimon, 28, an Atlanta rapper known professionally as Young Vito, turned himself in to police just days after he was fingered as the prime suspect in the December 16 murder of another Atlanta MC, Slim Dunkin.

Atlanta police put out a lookout for Hardimon, and through the media advised Hardimon to turn himself in, warning that his life might be in danger.

“I got a call today from his attorney,” Atlanta police homicide Det. David Quinn told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. “He said he wished to turn himself in.”

Sometime after 2 p.m., attorney Derrick Wright brought Hardimon to Atlanta Police headquarters, Quinn said. From there, Hardimon was taken to the Fulton jail.

Quinn pointed out that Hardimon’s appearance had changed significantly after the shooting, comparing his picture in the wanted poster to the man who showed up Monday.

“He cut off those dreadlocks and was clean-shaven,” Quinn said, pointing out a previous photo showed Hardimon with a dark goatee and mustache and long hair.

After things hit the head with Matthew fathering a child outside his marriage in 2009 , Beyonce’s parents are officially divorced.

The couple had been separated for the last two years.

Tina stated that their marriage was “insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities” and it “prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation”.

Atlanta native, Yung Joc, fell victim to a robbery over the weekend. Joc himself wasn’t present at the time of the robbery of his recording studio located in a home on Boyd Avenue, in the Northwest Section of Atlanta.

The suspects got away with an estimated $50,000 in equipment.  Two men allegedly hid in the bushes nearby the home, and then surprised two caretakers of the studio (a man and a woman), and tied them up in a bathroom inside the studio.  Luckily the two were able to break free and go to a nearby location to call the police.

SACRAMENTO, CA — A self-described Los Angeles entertainment entrepreneur is charged in a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday with bilking $7 million from Nicole Murphy, ex-wife of actor-comedian Eddie Murphy.

Troy David Stratos faces 14 charges of fraud, money laundering and obstructing justice. Stratos, 45, was arrested Tuesday and made his first appearance in Los Angeles federal court.

Court records show Nicole Murphy sued Stratos and others last year in Los Angeles federal court and refiled the lawsuit in May in Florida state court. She filed for divorce from Eddie Murphy in August 2005. The indictment charges that Stratos persuaded his victim to invest the proceeds of her divorce overseas, where they would earn a high rate of return. She put the proceeds into a revocable trust with Stratos in Fair Oaks, a Sacramento suburb, according to the federal indictment. Prosecutors say Stratos never invested the money, but spent it on himself. He also opened a bank account in Florida, they say, and used portions of the money to pay the victim’s expenses while leading her to believe he was paying her expenses out of his own pocket.

Nicole Murphy’s federal lawsuit alleges she put $11 million into a trust with Stratos.

Eva Hoeke, Editor-In-Chief of Dutch magazine “Jackie,” resigned and issued an apology for a controversial article about Rihanna, in which she referred to the artist as a “Niggabitch.”

Rihanna responded directly to Hoeke via Twitter, expressing her anger about the editorial.  The Dutch editor decided to call it quits over the ordeal, claiming that people misunderstood her “joke.”

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — The contents of the home where Michael Jackson lived with his three children just before his death have sold for nearly $1 million at auction.

Darren Julien, president of Julien’s Auctions, was unable to provide a more specific figure as he continued to tally the totals Saturday after the daylong auction, which brought in nearly triple the company’s pre-auction estimate of $200,000 to $400,000.
