Dmx - Dmx To Lose A House Over Dog Clothing Deal

Rapper DMX is set to lose a New York building he owns because of a longrunning battle with a dog clothing company.

The star was ordered to pay Amusing Diversions $281,000 (GBP140,500) after the company filed suit in 2004, alleging DMX - real name Earl Simmons - reneged on an agreement to promote its canine wear range.

The firm has spent the past four years attempting to get DMX to pay up, and authorities are finally stepping in and forcing the sale of a $1 million (GBP500,000) townhouse in Harlem.

The sale is slated for 13 August (08), reports the New York Post.

Ministry Of Sound - Striptease Schoolgirl Advert Broadcast Rapped

An advert showing a woman dressed as a schoolgirl conducting a striptease for two men should not have been shown when children were watching.

The UK's advertising watchdog criticised broadcaster Box Television after it showed an advert for a mobile download of a controversial music video on its The Hits channel.

In the advert, which had no time restrictions, clips of HTwoO and Platnum's video for their What's It Gonna Be single were shown.

The video provoked controversy after showing a group of men and women wearing school uniforms dancing in front of a school.

In another section a woman performs a striptease in a classroom for one of the men, revealing a lacy red bra and pants under the uniform.

Two viewers who saw the advert on Sunday morning and Thursday afternoon complained to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) that it was inappropriate to broadcast the clip when children could have been watching.

Producer Ministry of Sound Recordings said it had no plans to show the advert again while Box Television insisted it had not intended to cause offence.

The broadcaster added the music video itself had already been cleared by Ofcom over its "sexually provocative content".

In its adjudication the ASA warned The Hits of failing to apply scheduling restrictions to adverts inappropriate for children.

Earlier this year the watchdog criticised long-time foe Ryanair for depicting a young woman dressed as a schoolgirl with the strap-line "hottest back to school fares".

The King is dead, long live the King

TWILIGHT OF THE GODS: Well, I�m glad to read that CNN is at least contemplating the possibility of a day without Larry King on their network. You know it�s summer when most of the news you get arrives in the form of rumour � in this case, speculation that the news network will be offering King�s chair and red suspenders to Jay Leno when the time finally comes for the 74-year-old host of Larry King Live to retire.

Leno, as we know, is leaving The Tonight Show next year, his bosses at NBC having decided to transplant Conan O�Brien from the east to west coast and into an earlier time slot in the search for younger demographics. Leno isn�t exactly happy about it, and he�s been quietly � but not too quietly, as this is Hollywood � shopping around for a new gig with the potential to make his soon-to-be-former bosses realize their mistake.

According to Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times, ABC and Fox have been talking to Leno, but it�s CNN who want to offer him �a late-night chatfest that could morph into Leno replacing Larry King.� It�s all in the realm of fantasy right now, apparently, and Leno could find himself growing old in his holding pattern CNN show waiting to replace King -- who was, after all -- the first journalist to interview Marconi after his landmark first wireless broadcast between England and Newfoundland�s Signal Hill in 1901, a seminal moment in the young journalist�s career, albeit one that was captured for posterity on a zoetrope, as Marconi was just inventing broadcasting at the time.

I�ve never made a secret of my mystification at King�s longevity at hosting soft-soap, often befuddled interviews with guests who are either friends and therefore very forgiving, or just openly bemused at the kindly but clueless old man on the other side of the table. The best King shows are inevitably the ones where some wary zookeeper brings a bunch of animals on the show, most of which � badgers, raccoons, even squirrels - King claims never to have heard of before. Leno, for all of his shortcomings, would be an improvement on an exponential scale.
