Rick Ross Sued for Doggie Death

Neighbor files suit against the rapper for vicious attack on her pooch.


Michael Vick and DMX have a new friend in the doghouse. According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Miami rapper Rick Ross is in hot water for the death of a three-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Banks.

The heavyweight hip hop star, one of the performers at the 2011 BET Awards, ran afoul of a neighbor after three of his pitbulls escaped his Atlanta home and entered the neighbor's property. The pitbulls reportedly attacked the terrier, who suffered four large bite wounds on the back and neck. The dog's owner was eventually forced to euthanize it.

Ross received a ticket from the police as a result of the incident, but the woman who lost her dog still wants justice. She is seeking $15,000 in damages and court costs.

Jay-Z and Adele Make Plans for the Future

Hov talks to the UK star about possible collaboration. 


Adele, Jay-ZJay-Z was in England last week to support Beyoncé during her headlining set at the Glastonbury Music Festival, but Bey wasn't the only lady on the hip hop mogul's mind. Jigga reportedly took time out to meet with Adele, the chart-smashing, British blue-eyed soul singer whose sophomore album, 21, is so far the best-selling album of the year.

According to The Sun, Adele charmed Jay over lunch, and the two discussed collaborating musically and professionally.

"She talked him under the table. He was chuckling all the way through their chat," says the UK paper's source.

The 21-year-old "Rolling in the Deep" singer also happens to be a big fan of Mrs. Jay-Z, who paid her a massive compliment earlier this year by saying hearing Adele's voice is "like listening to God." Bey, who performed live from the UK during the 2011 BET Awards, invited Adele to sing with her during the Glastonbury set, but the young artist had to decline due to an unfortunate bout of laryngitis.

Though she isn't doing any singing now, Adele has rescheduled her US tour for August.
