A man has been charged with posing as an FBI agent and luring a young woman to a hotel room with free concert tickets to see rapper Lil Wayne. James B. Faircloth, 53, has been charged with a felony charge of impersonating a public servant. According to Houston's Fox 26, Faircloth posed as an FBI agent and exploited the young girl's interest in criminal justice. Faircloth is accused of showing the woman her mother official business cards that indicated he was with the federal agency. He then took the girl on several phony stakeouts. When she refused to help Faircloth any further, he offered her five front row tickets and backstage access at a Lil Wayne concert. Once the girl got to the hotel room, Faircloth attempted to make the girl spread her legs, while showing her a pornographic movie. The student was eventually released from the hotel room unharmed.

FBI Says Eazy-E, Tupac Victims of Jewish Defense League Extortion Attempts

New documents released by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) confirm longtime allegations that the Jewish Defense League (JDL) attempted to extort rappers Eazy-E and Tupac Shakur.


The FBI released the documents in response to various Freedom of Information requests for the documents, which until this point had been unreleased.

The new documents claim that members associated with the JDL, which has been labeled a right-wing hate organization, targeted Eazy-E, Tupac Shakur and others with an unsophisticated scheme to dupe the rappers out of cash.

According to the FBI documents, unnamed members of the group would call the rappers and make death threats.

"Subjects then intercede by contacting the victims and offering protection for a fee," the notes read. "The victim and their family are taken to a 'safe haven,' usually a private estate, and are protected by gun-toting body guards associated with the Jewish Defense League."

Former Ruthless Records executive Jerry Heller implied that Eazy-E had respect for JDL in his autobiography, "Ruthless."

According to Heller, Ruthless Records hired Israeli bodyguards to protect the business from Marion "Suge" Knight, who was also allegedly threatening Eazy-E with violence, after Dr. Dre left the record label around 1990.

In "Ruthless," Jerry Heller claimed that Eazy-E liked the JDL so much, that he planned on doing a movie on the organization.

During one office visit Suge Knight allegedly paid to Ruthless Records in the Fall of 1990, Knight warned Heller and Eazy-E to get new bodyguards.

Heller said he hired an Israeli named Mike Klein to head up Ruthless Records' security, since he had a "background in the Israeli security forces."

"The effect was immediate and extreme," according to Jerry Heller. "Somehow, the Suge Knight camp had Klein checked out and realized they were now dealing with a Mossad motherf**ker who didn't fool around. Suge vanished. His crew vanished. An uneasy calm descended."

According to the FBI, after Eazy-E died from complications related to being infected with the AIDS virus, the death threats continued until at least 1996, against Eazy-E's wife and family.

The JDL, which has been labeled a domestic terrorist organization, tried the same tactics with Tupac Shakur, but their efforts allegedly failed.

RIHANNA SAYS SHE IS NOT JOINING X-FACTOR

Rihanna is setting the record straight regarding rumors that she may be the next big name to score a judging position on Simon Cowell’s ‘The X Factor.’

The singer, who’s one of many celebrities that have been thrown in the pot to possibly join the show, explained that scheduling conflicts prevented her from heading to the singing competition.

“I just heard about it actually, but, yes,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show regarding the rumor. “It’s something that I would have loved to do, actually. But our schedule doesn’t allow and it’s a demanding schedule to be on that show. You have to be around months at a time, which is impossible for me.”

JAY-Z EXPLAINS WHY HE LAUNCHED LIFE TIMES

Jay-Z recently spoke about the main motivation behind his newly launched website called “Life + Times,” and what goals he has for the new online venture. Talking with Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Jigga detailed his latest techy move.


“I started working on it in its various incarnations over a year ago,” Hov revealed. “I’ve thought about it forever. You know how it works, seeing other sites and being either inspired or saying, ‘That’s sh*t. I would do it like …’ [How do we post content?] Well there is a basic metric for what we cover but, more importantly, I believe it’s how we cover it. The DNA is to basically let the subject speak for itself. We don’t want to tell you what to think. As far as how personal? I would say it has to pique my interest…I think it’s every human’s job to inspire others, to feed one another’s senses. Inspiration begets inspiration times infinity. Imagine if the person that was inspired to create the phonograph didn’t share it with the world.”

LOLLIPOP PRODUCER WHO WANTS 20 MIL FROM LIL WAYNE STILL TALKING!

Last month, producer Darius “Deezle” Harrison filed a whopping $20 million lawsuit against Lil Wayne, Young Money Records and Cash Money Records, claiming that he never received compensation for producing the rapper’s 2008 hit ‘Lollipop.’ After letting news of the suit simmer, Deezle is finally speaking on the conflict, putting out a press release that addresses his actions.

The beatsmith revealed that his entourage prompted him to release the statement. “After consultation with my team I have decided to make a statement as it relates to the litigation pending against Cash Money and Young Money,” he said. “At this time I am owed a sufficient amount of money and will protect the rights afforded me by the State of New York. My team is of the opinion that the matter will be resolved in a timely fashion.”

In addition to suing for ‘Lollipop,’ Deezle filed a suit over the 2008 song ‘Mrs. Officer,’ for which he is seeking $2.5 million in unpaid royalties. Shortly after filing his suits, the three-time Grammy-winning producer distanced himself from associate Rasheed “Ralo Wonder” Harrison, who he claimed would come after other labels who hadn’t ponied up what they were owed.
