Kia Drayton, Playboy's Miss December '06 is facing serious drug trafficking charges after a kilo of cocaine was found in her hotel room!

Arrest warrants say that 24-year-old Kia Terrell Drayton and 33-year-old Otis Leon Story, both of Atlanta, were arrested as they left their room at the Residence Inn near North Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday morning.

Their bail was set at $2.2 million dollars each and they remained in jail Thursday night. Drayton identified herself as a Playboy employee during her hearing.

According to police reports, housekeeping staff started cleaning Drayton's room thinking she had checked out. They discovered a black gym bag left on top of a hotel safe and found a brick-shaped package wrapped in duct tape inside the safe. According to police reports, the staff called officers after unwrapping the package and finding a powdery white substance.

Police say when they searched the gold Cadillac Escalade Drayton was driving, they found two handguns. Police say they seized more than 11-hundred grams of cocaine.

Indeed, Beyoncé's team's paperwork — included in the copyright-infringement suit filed in New York's Manhattan Federal Court last week — depicts a rush to get permission to use the song, with letters sent back and forth up to and including the day of the deluxe edition's release. According to the suit, Beyoncé's team originally sought clearance on February 13 to use "interpolations" of the Des'ree song, which became a hit when it appeared in the Leonardo DiCaprio/ Claire Danes movie "Romeo + Juliet" in 1996. Lawyers for the two sides (Beyoncé and Des'ree's publishers the Royalty Network) started talking, and by March 3 — a month before Beyoncé re-released her album — Beyoncé's side had a "confirmation letter and license request" ready to submit.

On March 5, the Royalty Network's lawyers answered by submitting a counter proposal in which they granted permission — within certain limits. For one thing, they would allow use of the song, but not in video form. They would also allow use of the song only if the title were not changed. The Royalty Network's lawyers at Epstein Levinsohn Bodine & Weinstein said in the complaint that "despite follow-ups," they didn't hear back from Beyoncé's camp. And on March 27, according to the complaint, they discovered that Beyoncé and her record label planned to proceed with their plans to include the song on the re-release anyway. In a letter they wrote to Beyoncé's lawyer and her distribution group Sony, the Royalty Network called the move "completely unacceptable."

"First, no agreement has been reached in connection with [the song]," the letter read, "and Sony has no right to proceed ... absent an agreement. Second, the retitling of the composition puts TRN at risk for claims from more than one third party, and this is a risk that [Beyoncé] and Sony were or should have been aware of in light of the circumstances surrounding the discussions relating to this potential license."

On March 30, 2002, she decided to document her life, filing a mysterious spiritual retreat deep in the jungles of Honduras. On April 25, she died in a tragic accident, leaving behind her unedited tapes.

Revealing private scenes from Lisa's journals and home movies, along with highlights from her celebrated career, LAST DAYS OF LEFT EYE presents an intimate portrait of Lisa’s life, music and final spiritual journey.

Bizzy Bone was abducted by the biological father of one of his sisters in the early '80s.

Bizzy and his sisters were lied to for more than a year by their kidnapper and were led to believe that their mother was dead. Meanwhile, their mother was very much alive and working with "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh to search for her children. A picture of Bizzy, who was on a reservation in Oklahoma, was shown at the end of the 1983 TV movie "Adam" and led to his return.

"I was gone from 4 years old to 5 years old," said Bizzy, now 25. "A neighbor who used to baby-sit me for the fella who abducted my sisters and I saw the show. My name was changed, I had hair all over my face. And that's how we were found.

Bizzy was later returned to his mother's custody, but not unscathed.

"We were getting chased by the FBI and police. I remember hiding in vans and hiding under clothes. It was made to be a game, but it wasn't a f---ing game. To this day, I still find myself looking around the corner when the police come."

Deena Alleyne says she is sorry for her raunchy dancing with Senegal-born US artiste Akon at the Zen nightclub on Thursday.

"This whole hip hop thing is a guise and I don't want any part of it, I don't want to be any part of it," said Alleyne during an interview at Chaguanas yesterday.

"Look at what I have to go through with one mistake that I made. My dad warned me every time and I didn't listen. I am sorry. Every time he warned me. Everyday my dad would say 'it is not for you, it is not for you, you do not have to go this way', but I refused to listen. I don't want any part of it, not only Zen, everything. The whole hip hop thing, music and clubbing, I don't want to be part of it."

"I thought it was going to be normal," Alleyne said. "I got carried away, I started to dance as well but I never thought it was going to be like that. I was shocked, my head was hitting the floor. I got carried away in the spotlight, and with the crowd cheering. Everything was so fast, it was so quick."

Chris Brown is eyeing a September release for his sophomore Jive album, "Exclusive." Brown, who has also written several songs this time around, says recording has been like "a family reunion."

Among the songwriter/producers working on tracks are several from his self-titled first outing -- Bryan-Michael Cox, the Underdogs, Sean Garrett and Scott Storch -- as well as will.i.am.

"Being from Virginia, I've got to go back to my go-go roots," says Brown. "I'm not trying to go grown," he told Billboard in December. "I'll be 18, but I'm not trying to go overboard and lose my fans. I'm trying to have a bit more mature songs, about sexuality and stuff like that. I'm not trying to go deep into it."

There's a reason to crack open a bottle of Champagne in the Usher household. But maybe not the one you think.

Jonetta Patton, the crooner's mother and manager, is engaged - to a hot younger guy.

"His name is Eric," says a close source. "He is a former boxer from Houston, and he's 36."

Patton celebrated her 50th birthday in Atlanta last week with a party attended by Usher (who's 28) and his fiancee, Tameka Foster. Foster told friends at the event that she is not pregnant. However, this conflicts with two sources close to Usher's camp who independently told me that she is with child.

Some have even speculated that the pregnancy might be a holdover from her complicated relationship with former husband Ryan Glover.

According to a lawsuit filed yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court by music administators, Beyoncé allegedly never obtained proper clearance to cover a song called "I'm Kissing You," originally co-written by a singer named Des'ree -- famous for her 1994 smash hit, "You Gotta Be." Des'ree's version was used in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film "Romeo and Juliet," Beyoncé's version can be found on the re-release of her album, "B'Day."

In the lawsuit, Des'ree and her reps claim that Beyoncé, along with her record company people, originally tried to work out a deal to use the song. When they weren't satisfied with the proposed terms -- which included not being able to change the title or make a music video for the song -- Beyoncé allegedly blew off copyright law completely, and recorded the song and video without permission. The song was eventually released on Beyoncé's album, "B'Day - Deluxe Edition" on April 3, 2007, with the title "Still in Love (Kissing You)."

Des'ree is suing to halt distribution of the song, video and album and seeking at least $150,000 in damages.

Thirty-three people, including the gunman, were killed at a Virginia university Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. At least 15 other people were injured, some of them as they leaped to safety from the fourth floor of a classroom building.

The shootings, which took place in two locations on campus, came just four days before the eighth anniversary of the Columbine High School bloodbath near Littleton, Colo. They created panic and confusion at the college, where students and employees angrily asked why the first e-mail warning did not go out to them until the gunman had struck a second time.

Federal law enforcement officials said the gunman killed himself after he shot dozens of people at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, in southwest Virginia. Thirty-two people plus the shooter were confirmed dead.

In addition to the 33 dead, hospitals reported that 15 people were injured, some of whom had jumped from the fourth floor of the classroom building where the second wave of shootings took place. Five were in stable condition; the conditions of the others were not immediately reported.

The cast of the Grey's Anatomy spinoff starring Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs is really clicking, Diggs tells PEOPLE.

"They're great. We have really great chemistry," Diggs, 36, said of his castmates Thursday at the opening of the new club Runway in New York City.

The initial episode has "just finished" filming, he said, "and we're hoping people dig it."

ABC plans to test out the show with a "back-door pilot," an expanded two-hour episode of Grey's, Reuters reported in February. No air date for the episode has been set.

Diggs, who said he plays a "general practitioner" on the show, was coy when asked if he could reveal any key plot details.

"Plot what? Secrets?" he said. "I can't tell you! It's a secret."

Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes is writing the first episode, which, according to USA Today, will feature Kate Walsh's character, Dr. Addison Shepherd, mulling an out-of-town job offer.

Investigators say, Orlando Brown was pulled over for driving with his lights off.

An officer then reportedly found nine grams of marijuana in the vehicle.

Brown plays the sidekick Eddie on “That’s So Raven.”

He is now charged with possession.

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has listed Eddie Murphy's name on the birth certificate of her infant daughter, her publicist said Friday.

The 31-year-old Brown, known as Scary Spice when she was in the megahit group of the '90s, gave birth to the child April 3 in Santa Monica, Calif.

Brown's publicist, Nadine Bibi, didn't immediately respond Friday to an e-mail from The Associated Press asking for details.

Arnold Robinson, a spokesman for Murphy, declined comment.

Brown has said ex-boyfriend Murphy is the father. The 46-year-old "Dreamgirls" star has said he isn't sure, while Brown has said there is "absolutely no question that Eddie is the father."

Have you ever been bitten by an animal?

Yeah – actually I was one time. A very ravenous dog bit me when I was about seven years old. He bit me all over my face and had stitches above my eye, under my chin and on my hands. I was bitten very badly, so I have scars from that.

You apparently wrote a song called “Oh Shooter” after witnessing an armed robbery. Can you tell us more about what sounds like a very scary experience?

Yeah. I was 17 years old and I was in a bank when it got robbed. Years later I did end up writing a song about it called “Oh Shooter.” I was standing there about to get my money and I heard “Get Down on the Floor.” I turned around and there was a guy walking towards me with a gun pointing towards my head. I dropped to the floor. I was nervous for a second but then I saw these two kid guys and they were my age. They were about 18 years old and I wasn’t scared anymore because they looked like they couldn’t actually believe that it was working. (Laughs) But then this white lady walked in and she got all freaked out because the guy pointed the shotgun at her. She started screaming for her life, going “Oh God No!” I started chuckling a bit because by that point I had realised that these guys didn’t want to shoot anybody. They just wanted the money.

Your wife, the actress Paula Patton, has appeared in music videos with you and on the cover of your album though. What’s it like working with your real life spouse for projects -some artists don’t like mixing business with pleasure for fear of harming their relationships?

Yeah, my wife is in my music video for Lost Without U. We didn’t have any money and we couldn’t afford anyone else. (Laughs) So she was the only one who would do it for free. I didn’t even consider it to be work when I was with her though. To me, that was just me hanging out with my wife.

What other plans have you got coming up in the near future?

Well I’ve got a summer tour with Beyonce and I just did a record with 50 Cent this week for his new album.

I would like to work with Beyonce and maybe we will come up with something while we are on tour and I definitely want to work with Jay-Z some day.

I’m also working with Usher for his new album. Besides that I’m half -way done with my new album – I’m just so excited to be touring and being able to get my music out to people.

Bernie Mac has teamed with producer Ben Silverman for "Welcome to the Family," a reality pilot for NBC.

The project, from Mac's MacMan Entertainment and Silverman's Reveille, revolves around couples in love who are ready to take their relationship to the next level and get engaged. However, the spouses-to-be come from completely different religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

"Family," which Mac will narrate, will feature the couples meeting each other's families for the first time and breaking to them the news that they've gotten engaged.

Silverman called the concept "both intriguing and addictive."

"It's all about falling in love, family and learning how to accept someone despite cultural, economic or social differences," he said. "We are thrilled that NBC is once again taking the lead in supporting innovative programming, just as it did with our hit shows 'The Office' and 'The Biggest Loser.' "

Mac wasn't a stranger to the premise of "Family," having starred opposite Ashton Kutcher in "Guess Who," the 2005 comedy remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."

Word is Tango [aka Patrick the Ninja Turtle] has a girlfriend back home in Florida! And she is none-too-pleased with New York!

MediaTakeOut.com located a woman claiming to be Tango's girlfriend - and she had a lot to say. The young lady, who is a student at Florida A&M University, told us, "The show was just a big game ... you know, for his rap career. But that psycho New York doesn't seem to get it. The crazy [EXPLETIVE] texts [Tango] at least 100 times a day and sends him all kinds of naked pictures of herself."

And according to the woman, she's beginning to fear for her safety. She explains, "I'm not really worried about Tango leaving me for her. But I'm worried that [New York] may spazz out one day and come and get us." The young lady continues, "If you read some of the things she sends [Tango], you'd be worried too. In one message she said that she's not afraid to murder someone for [Tango]. ... Most of the times me and [Tango] read what she writes, we laugh at her. But there's nothing funny about murder."

And there may some truth to what the woman is saying. A key source at VH1 told MediaTakeOut.com that during the taping of the reunion show, Tango was very cold towards New York.

Pressure from advertisers and politicians have mounted on the radio host since he referred to the Rutgers female basketball players as “nappy-headed hos” last week.

MSNBC dropped its simulcast of the “Imus in the Morning” radio program and aired news instead Thursday. The decision did not affect Imus’ nationally syndicated radio show.

His ultimate fate depends on the CBS Corp., which owns both the radio station WFAN-AM that is the host’s broadcast home, and the syndicator Westwood One, which distributes “Imus in the Morning” to stations across the country.

CBS Radio, which has suspended Imus for two weeks without pay beginning next week, said it would “continue to speak with all concerned parties and monitor the situation closely.”

While rappers who sport the prefix Lil' might be a dozen, there is nothing common about 17-year-old Lil' Mama. The teenaged rap phenomenon's first commercial hit "Lip Gloss" is fastly becoming a celebratory anthem for girls of all ages. But unlike kiddie rappers who rely heavily on short-sited gimmicks, Lil' Mama is a multi-faceted artist who boasts the ability to sing, rap and write her own material. Her Jive Records debut, Voice of The Young People explores the mindset of a young woman who is truly wise beyond her years.

Growing up between Brooklyn's rough East New York section and Harlem, Lil' Mama was forced to overcome both personal and financial struggles at an early age. As one of eight brothers and sisters, the rapper born Niatia Kirkland started to express herself artistically as a little girl through poetry and dance. When she was just 10-years-old, Lil' Mama decided to try and put a rhythm behind her poems.

“Here’s what I’ve learned: that you can’t make fun of everybody, because some people don’t deserve it,” he said on his nationally syndicated radio show Monday morning. “And because the climate on this program has been what it’s been for 30 years doesn’t mean it’s going to be what it’s been for the next five years or whatever.”

Imus said he was “embarrassed” by the remarks, in which he referred to the mostly black team as “nappy-headed hos.” He said he had made the comments in the course of “trying to be funny,” but he was not trying to excuse them.

The actress says, “For a long time, my figure was like my badge of honour...I tried everything, but nothing got rid of the stretch marks.”

She adds, “I feel sexy and amazing. I’m looking forward to wearing two-piece swimsuits this year. The last time I wore a bikini was when I was 16.”

Justin on awards: “I used to care about those awards and trophies - maybe when I was younger. Come on, it’s all a load of bullshit, right? I view the Grammys the same way I as I see my deal with McDonald’s. I regret the McDonald’s deal. I don’t regret doing the Grammys entirely but I wish I hadn’t put so much of myself into it. It’s kind of interesting. Just like the McDonald’s deal, whose market share went up 25 percent when I walked into those offices and changed their image. When I did the Grammys, the viewing figures went up by 25 percent. Funny, isn’t it?”

Justin on Christina Ricci: “I’m infatuated with her talent. She’s immensely talented and an amazing woman. The sex scene was pretty hot. I’m not going to say it doesn’t feel weird pretending to f**k someone in front of a man with a sound boom, though.”

Justin on having his butt edited out of ‘Black Snake Moan’: “One of the first conversations I had with the director was about nudity. In the first cut you could see my ass but, thankfully, that’s now out.”

Robin Thicke stopped by FUSEs "The Sauce"

When I have some downtime I normally get really high and I dance all night; I get drunk and I party until I can’t party anymore and I surround myself with close friends and great food.

"I plan to be as close to death as possible. Whatever kind of drugs I'm offered, I'm taking it."

Christina Milian, 25, snagged the role of Olivia in new CW pilot Eight Days a Week. On May 17 the network plans to announce whether the show will make it to your TV screens.

According to the official description of the un-shot comedy, Eight Days "centers on four twenty-somethings who work under the top movers and shakers in New York City. And even though they’ll sacrifice any semblance of a personal life to get ahead, these four friends quickly realize that even that philosophy may not be enough, and they will need to rely on one another to succeed."

Kelly Rowland is repping the ladies with Eve in her new video "Like This," but on her album Ms. Kelly, plenty of fellas show her love — from Polow Da Don and Robin Thicke to Lil Wayne and Mr. International Incident himself, Snoop Dogg. The latter MC appears on "Ghetto."

"It might possibly be the second single, I'm not sure. I love Snoop," Rowland said. "I've been wanting to work with Snoop forever. I remember sneaking [out] to buy his Doggystyle album. My mom was a little mad. But he was so dope. He's the king of cool. ... He got on 'Ghetto' once I finished recording the song, and I was like, 'He sounds so dope.' 'Ghetto' is basically saying what you like in a guy. I like a guy with a little bit of edge. [But] not too much, where you scare me away."
