DMX: No Friend Of The Courts

Following up on MX's arrest in June, Gothamist shook our head as we read about his court appearance. DMX and a friend had been arrested for impersonating federal agents and trying to carjack someone's car at JFK. They didn't manage to steal the car, but were arrested when they exited JFK parking without paying, and police found weapons and drugs in the car. Nice one, DMX. So, back to the present, yesterday when DMX was being screening by court officers in Queens, he "pointed to an expensive bracelet on his wrist and yelled at the lieutenant in charge, 'One year, right here. One year, right here,' clearly implying that it cost more than the lieutenant's salary." Classy. But Newsday does say that DMX was "warm to fans," saying, "God Bless," though no word on how he felt about the woman who showed up to slap him with a paternity suit.

Who is your favorite crazy celebrity these days? Macaulay? Britney? Courtney Love? Nick Nolte? Jacko? Or is it wrong to admit you have one. Hmm, we have to think about this.

I favor Britney Spears. C'mon! She served chicken fingers at her reception and made everyone buy their own drinks. And did you see the tracksuits at her wedding with "Mrs. Federline" and "Pimps"? Divorce is bad, but a three-ring circus divorce is entertaining. I can't wait.

Mine is Allison Janney! For her player hateing on Mariska Hargitay and forcing her to come on stage. She knows that Miriska is twice the actress that she could ever hope to be and she looked better in the green too!

There is clearly a correlation between lack of talent and level of craziness...if any of these wack jobs had a modicum of talent they would not have to resort to these antics to get press. Yeah, Courtney tops my list too...as the most likely to have driven her husband to suicide.

I almost feel bad for X. His music has faded from relevance, his live shows (I've heard) have become almost unwatchable, and his acting career -- well, let's say we prolly won't be seeing him doing anymore mediocre action flicks.

The money will run out, and soon he'll be liquidating all of that bling bling he's so proud of.

I lost respect for him upon learning that he was keeping bunches of pitbulls penned up in tiny cages for 20 hours a day.

Courtney Love tops my List too. DMX seems to want to self-destruct in a fairly predicatble way (Hey, jail time will probably help sell the "Gangsta" Image...).

Courtney Love continues to surprise with newer Stunts. Didn't she have a Child? Haven't heard anything about a Child for years.
