THE FACTS
A gossip site claims one legendary rapper uses drugs.

THE SPIN
Before I continue, let the record show that I’m only the messenger. Personally, the only substance I believe James Todd Smith abuses is chapstick, but once a rumor spreads one can’t help but notice.

So, don’t shoot the messenger for the sniff rumors.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, via Gossip Jacker:

Seems like the Ladies (Young Hollywood Blondes) don’t Love Cool James so much anymore…especially one pair of ladies who ran into LL on the L.A. night club circuit, late last month.

“He was sooooooo coked-up.” says one source. “LL Cool J is so yesterday…he was hot in like 1995.”

Our source tells us LL was drunk and high on cocaine, while he was attempting to do a solo rendition of a Lil Wayne song to the pair, before following the girls into the ladies’ room and trying to making out with them. The ladies tell us they were so turned off, adding, “Only in his dreams.”

LL being on cocaine is not new news to us…know why? Because we’ve heard it before. One stripper tells us that after meeting LL at her club (in the mid 90’s), the two went to her home. That’s where our source says LL was doing countless fat rails of cocaine, after he took a shower (with his hat on). Again, the incident went down in the mid-nineties– before LL went under the knife to get plastic surgery on his head.

Word is the NCIS star keeps in shape through the use of human growth hormones.

Between the steroids and the street drugs, James (LL) Todd Smith’s liver must be begging for a breath of fresh air. Even though he may look healthy on the outside, LL’s insides are quite the opposite. Don’t you agree?

D.A.R.E. to correct the rumor or the problem.

THE FACTS
Lil Wayne plead guilty to felony gun possession in a Manhattan courtroom on October 22 stemming from a July 2007 arrest.

THE SPIN
Another day, another rapper headed for lock up over something avoidable.

Although the rapper initially plead not guilty to the illegal gun possession charge, once a judge allowed prosecution to use a controversial DNA profiling technique used to finger Lil’ Wayne to the gun in question, he’s since changed his tune.

If he had decided to move forward with the trail in January, he faced a minimum 3 ½ year possession sentence.

Lil’ Wayne will remain free on bail while he awaits his February sentencing. He’s expected to be sentenced to a year in prison.

Wayne is also scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, which stems from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.

THE FACTS
The Associated Press reports that Dexter King has made a deal with EMI publishing that will allow the music publisher to use Martin Luther King’s name, image, likeness, recorded voice, both in recordings and music and in online and digital media.

THE SPIN
Oh great, we can now all look forward to the I Have A Dream speech being used as a hook for a Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne track. We may even get a dance out of this. Thank you, Dexter, for giving new meaning to the phrase “must be the money.”

Dexter released a statement saying EMI was best positioned to “increase The King Estate’s ability to preserve, perpetuate and protect the great legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.”

I can hear it now. “Do the Martin Loofa, do the Martin Loofa.”

In a statement, Martin Luther King III said he and his sister didn’t have any information about the deal. Figures.
