That headline says it all, really, but in case you want more info: When the sheriff's department in Alameda County, California attempted to conduct a "probation compliance" check at a home in Castro Valley, they discovered 34 pounds of processed dried marijuana and a five-foot alligator, named "Mr. Teeth," guarding…

Imagine, if you will, the following scene tonight, during Mitt Romney's address to the Republican National Convention: the lights go out. The ominous sound of bells rings through the convention center. A spotlight appears in the center of the stage, where a puff of smoke barely conceals the sudden appearance of a…

It started out as a joke, but the company that pioneered the technology which made Tupac's Coachella hologram possible does actually have plans to bring back a bunch of dead celebs for a series of live concerts.

Coachella has been known to take its toll on attendees, and even offspring of the rich and famous aren't immune. Arnold Schwarzenegger's hunky son Patrick reports that he is "literally so dead" after the music festival this past weekend.

Tupac Shakur's singing blowjob sex tape (with a non-sexual Money B cameo!) is off the market, purchased by a "private collector," TMZ reports. This is mysterious and strange for at least six reasons. But first, a refresher on what the tape entails:

Internationally famous rap star Tupac Shakur was shot dead in an extremely public fashion in 1996. Internationally famous rap star Biggie Smalls was shot dead in an extremely public fashion in 1997. Still, no one has ever been charged with their murders. That is some bullshit. However! A new book from a former LAPD…

In November of 1994, a bunch of unknown guys ran up on Tupac at Quad Studios in Manhattan, shot him, and robbed him. (Not the shooting that killed him! That was two years later.) That 1994 shooting was the spark that set off the East Coast-West Coast hip hop wars. And the assailants have never been discovered. Until…

Geronimo Pratt, the former Black Panther and FBI target who spent 27 years in prison before his murder conviction was vacated, has died at his home in Tanzania the age of 63.

It's a mystery that has perplexed the world since the late '90s: Where are Biggie and Tupac? Last night for a short time, it appeared that PBS had found out when a story appeared on its homepage, "Tupac still alive in New Zealand." Sadly, it was hackers from a group called LulzSec who got into PBS' system and posted…

Colonel Sanders wasn't the only deceased celebrity to be menaced by shady figures. Newly released FBI files say that Tupac and Eazy-E were both the targets of an extortion attempt by the Jewish Defense League, a hardcore right-wing group.

One of the most successful upstarts in hip-hop is Atlanta's Waka Flocka Flame. Tupac's classic "Hit 'Em Up" famously bashed Biggie and his east-coast friends. So why not mash them up, and add a little Obama flavor?

Controversy: A magazine has published a list of "Overrated" things! Is their analysis correct? They certainly hope you will argue about it a lot! Blender's list of the most overrated things in music ends with a typically "provocative" #1: Deceased rapper Tupac. Former Gawker columnist Tionna Smalls has already started…

Chuck Philips, the LA Times reporter who wrote a huge front page story in March tying Puff Daddy to the shooting of Tupac Shakur-only to find out that this main source was a serial con man and the story was wrong-has been laid off from the paper, along with 150 colleagues. On one hand, Philips once won a Pulitzer; on…

Is America ready for a Real World cast member to serve in Congress? Don't worry, it's just Kevin, from season one! Back then Kevin Powell was sporting a high top and being the serious guy in the New York house with Heather B and the southern girl and the model guy and the other guy. Now, Powell has shaved his head and…

Despite retraction: "A spokeswoman for the newspaper said [Chuck] Philips, a Pulitzer Prize winner, would remain with the newspaper as an investigative reporter. She would not comment on whether any disciplinary measures had been taken." [Times]
