Andrea Sanderlin of uber-ritzy Scarsdale, N.Y., is facing up to 10 years in prison for allegedly running what feds call a "sophisticated operation to grow and process marijuana," or in less formal terms, a multimillion-dollar pot growhouse in Queens. Authorities say they seized about 2,800 pot plants from the venue. "She seemed like every other mom," said a man who knew Sanderlin through their daughters' love of horseback riding. "I did find it odd that she hadn't been around for a couple of weeks." Sanderlin was caught when another pot farmer ratted her out. Man, this would be a great idea for a TV show. Oh wait, it already is — thanks, "Weeds." TO READ MORE CLICK LINK -[Source]

Inside 50 Cent's Incredible Collection Of Vehicles [Pics]
Written by Zack O. Greenburg @zogblog for Forbes
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s love affair with automobiles got off to an inauspicious start. His first car nearly got him killed, and not because he was driving too fast. In the summer of 1994, at the age of 19, Jackson plunked down $53,000 in cash made from peddling drugs on the streets of New York for a charcoal gray Toyota Land Cruiser. He tricked it out with a rooftop bike rack, new wheels and a sound system with a bass that thumped so hard it rattled the license plate against the back hatch.
A few months later, Jackson was driving his car through a rough neighborhood when a stranger pulled up next to him, flashed a menacing look and asked, “Yo, where Black at?” “Black” was the street name of a notorious–and violent–gangster. Jackson quickly put it all together: Black had a similar-looking car. Jackson shrugged at his questioner and, luckily for him, the man drove off into the night.
A few months later, Jackson was driving his car through a rough neighborhood when a stranger pulled up next to him, flashed a menacing look and asked, “Yo, where Black at?” “Black” was the street name of a notorious–and violent–gangster. Jackson quickly put it all together: Black had a similar-looking car. Jackson shrugged at his questioner and, luckily for him, the man drove off into the night.
The next day, Jackson returned to the dealership. “Why the f**k did you sell [Black] the same color truck as me?” he demanded. “I almost got killed last night.”
He traded in the Land Cruiser for a white Mercedes-Benz 400 SEL with bulletproof windows and a 6.0 liter V-12 engine. But the second car turned out to be no better than the first. The Mercedes was conspicuous, an easy target for thieves. A pair of armed robbers ambushed him outside his grandmother’s house in Queens. Jackson barely escaped through a back alley and soon sold the vehicle.
Then came more car trouble, but this time only his ego was bruised. In the late 1990s, Jackson decided to leave the drug-dealing days behind to commit himself fully to his music, in part to please his grandmother, who’d raised him from age 8 after his mother was killed (an attempt on Jackson’s own life and the birth of his son provided the main impetus for his career change). The more virtuous life had its own problems: He was left with significantly less money. Which meant he was stuck driving a homely 1992 burgundy Dodge Caravan. “The a/c didn’t work,” he recalls glumly.
But his fortunes–and car collection–soon changed for the better. After linking up with Eminem and Dr. Dre, Jackson recorded the album that would make him a star, 2003′s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. It would go on to sell more than 8 million copies in the U.S. alone, becoming one of the most successful rap albums of all time. Buying and customizing uberluxury cars soon became the means by which he celebrated his musical triumphs.
With money from his first album, Jackson first rewarded his grandmother, leasing a Mercedes-Benz C240 for her. Next he bought himself a Rolls-Royce Phantom. He initially wanted to customize it, covering it entirely in chrome. Then he met with the president of Rolls-Royce, who showed him what a door slathered in the shiny substance looked like. “I didn’t realize how big the car was,” says Jackson, reclining on a sofa in his Midtown Manhattan office. “It would have looked like a silver bus. You know what I’m saying? So I changed my mind.”
Since then Jackson has released three more solo albums, pushing his worldwide sales total past 30 million; his next is due out later this year. He’s also created a business empire that includes his own clothing and shoe lines, videogames and films, headphones and energy shots, even his own flavor of VitaminWater. Jackson now has a net worth of $125 million. “You learn a lot about yourself when you have success for a while,” he says. “Like, a lot of things that you think are really important aren’t. But you need that process.”
One thing that has remained important to Jackson is the cars. He owns two bulletproof Chevrolet Suburbans that feature bombproof undercarriages. The $200,000 vehicles were built for the Iraq war. He bought a Lamborghini Murcielago to celebrate the launch of his second album. The $300,000 car was painted charcoal gray, just like his ill-fated Land Cruiser. Perhaps to erase the ghosts of his youth–and satisfy the urge he had with his Rolls–Jackson decked the Lamborghini out in an all-chrome finish.
Over the years, Jackson added a Ferrari convertible and a Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle, along with a Bentley Mulsanne with beige leather seats (to match his coat, as he explains in one song). He recently painted his West Coast fleet a metallic blue and added matching ceramic brakes to his Lamborghini, being more interested in freshening up his existing rides than trading them for newer models–which, he says, “are starting to turn a little space-agey to me.” He’s no stranger to futuristic rides: Last year he designed a few concept cars of his own.
These days, Jackson isn’t worried about drug dealers and gangsters. It’s the taxman who merits concern.
“If you’re familiar with my man Uncle Sam, you understand the only way you can actually feel better about what he’s gonna take, come the end of the year, is lifestyle,” says Jackson. “Only thing you can do is spend some of it.”

Is Jay-Z's agency closing in on another star athlete in the tri-state area?
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Sunday that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has fired agent Drew Rosenhaus, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, CSNPhilly.com and USA Today allreported that Jackson might sign with Roc Nation Sports

It’s no secret that Jay-Z is filthy rich. In addition to his successful rap career, he has his hands in several aspects of the industry. Earlier this year he was named by Forbes as the world’s second richest rapper, only missing out on the number one spot by $105 million. And now, according to Page Six, he’s about to get a whole lot richer because he’s preparing to ink a pretty huge deal
with Samsung.
We hear that the deal is worth $20 million and will involve some sort of music streaming app that allows the hip-hop mogul to promote and distribute the music of his artists.
Heidi Pratt
I was a fan of “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills,” I liked Heidi when she appeared on both shows (she made her debut on “Laguna Beach” as Lauren Conrad’s supportive friend after Jason kissed his ex-girlfriend while dating LC). Heidi was more in the forefront when she became Costello to Conrad’s Abbott and the duo attempted to figure out life in the big city of Hollywood.
Their friendship began to deteriorate when there was a mixture of Heidi getting involved with Spencer Pratt, and when Heidi began to allegedly start feeling herself a little too much. Allegations that Heidi would do whatever she could to capitalize on her fame, calling the paparazzi on herself was fictionalized in Lauren Conrad’s “L.A. Candy” book series, along with “The Fame Game.”

Soul Tempo’s first single “Trust In God” made a huge impact at radio for the group and set the stage for the release of their new single “Almost Home”. “Almost Home” is penned by Soul Tempo group members who wanted to let the world know if you keep your hands in God's hand he will bring you through any circumstance. For the group, “Almost Home” is a very special song because of how it was birthed and the impact it made on their individual lives. One of the most exciting moments during the development of “Almost Home” happened when Soul Tempo first heard the music track. The group described the experience as, “An overwhelming since of emotion that went through us like a bolt of lightning and during our writing session our pens started to flow like a river.” The song is inspired by their personal experiences with losing loved ones and the testimony of God keeping them emotionally and spiritually. When listeners experience “Almost Home”, they will hear a very emotional heartfelt musical story for anyone who has lost a loved one and how God has kept us to enjoy His blessings. Through the song, Soul Tempo is encouraging everyone to enjoy the awesome life God has given us and do it one day at a time.
