A record company with clients like Lady Gaga and U2 has reportedly been used by
a drug-trafficking ring that involved shipments of equipment cases stuffed with
cocaine and vacuum-packed $20 bills. After a year-long Drug Enforcement
Administration investigation, James Rosemond was indicted on 18 felony charges
that could mean he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted.  
According to The Smoking Gun, Federal prosecutors say it's possible that the
employees of Interscope Records, were unaware that their company was being used
as a way station.  Details of how members of the narcotics ring were able to
access Interscope's office are still unclear, but Rosemond's biggest client,
rapper The Game, records for the label, and the site reports that the
road manager for The Game has been implicated in the drug-trafficking ring.

Brad Pitt, who will be featured in next Sunday's Parade Magazine, says he does
not regret his five year marriage to Jennifer Aniston, but rather views it
with a sense of boredom. "...I was intent on trying to find a movie about an
interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself...I think that
my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was
something that it wasn't."  Pitt then goes on to say that the smartest thing he
ever did was give his kids Angelina Jolie as their mother.  When the news that
Brad was bored in his marriage hit the internet, he was forced to release a
statement saying: "It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an
incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an
important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not
that Jen was dull, but I was becoming dull to myself -- and that, I am
responsible for."

The sitcom, "30 Rock" has just put out a casting call for a man ages 36-40 for a
role as play Liz Lemon’s next love interest. The official description is as
follows: "California-bred with liberal values and a youthful innocence.
Easy-going but confident with a strong sense of self." The show is looking for
stars as well as lesser-known names.

Neil Patrick Harris received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday
afternoon. All of his "How I Met Your Mother" co-stars were on hand at the
ceremony to help him celebrate.

Mad Men star, January Jones, gave birth to her first child on Tuesday.  She had
a boy that has been named,  Xander Dane Jones.  Jones, 33, has not named the man
who fathered the child and is reportedly looking forward to being a single mom.

Snoop Dogg has signed a deal to star in his own family sitcom. Beyond the idea
that Snoop will be playing a dad, not much is yet known about the show. Snoop
previously starred in his own E! reality show called, "Snoop Dogg's Father
Hood," which gave viewers a peek at his surprisingly normal family life.

It turns out that Michaele Salahi and Journey guitarist Neal Schon have known
each other for 13 years, but their relationship reportedly only became intimate
in the last two years.  The two tried to keep their affair secret until they
realized they were both ready to leave their spouses for each other. Neal is
said to have texted Michaela that he would never have married his now ex-wife in
2001 if he had known the full extent of Michaele's feelings for him at the time.

The pharmacist who testified he shipped large amounts of Propofol to Dr. Conrad
Murray in the weeks leading to Michael Jackson's death has disappeared.
According to prosecutors, Tim Lopez, a former pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy
Services in Las Vegas, has reportedly moved to Thailand and cannot be found.  
Prosecutors have asked the judge to let them use a previous testimony given by
Lopez back in January. He claimed Dr. Murray ordered several large quantities of
Propofol, beginning on April 6, 2009.  The judge will rule on the question next
week.

The British rapper who paid $37,500 on the very first pair of those "Back to the
Future" shoes says he will never put them on his feet. 22-year-old Tinie Tempah

paid for the shoes goes towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's
Research.

The state Economic Development Authority of New Jersey on Wednesday approved
covering $420,000 of the production costs for the MTV show, "Jersey Shore".
Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon said he can't believe taxpayers are paying "for
fake tanning for `Snooki' and `The Situation."' Seaside Heights Mayor P. Kenneth
Hershey says the local economy gets a boost when the cast is in the town. Gov.
Chris Christie suspended the film tax credit program in 2010 to close a budget
deficit.
