DMX is back in jail! The rapper started serving a 90 day sentence on Monday after violating probation for several offenses. The 39-year-old turned himself in this afternoon at a Los Angeles courthouse  from where he was  transported to county lockup.

Earl Simmons, better known as rapper DMX, has been in and out of jail several times in the last couple of years. Back in 2002 he plead no contest to reckless driving. More recently he spent 90 days in jail after drug possession and animal cruelty.

Reportedly the judge asked for a psychological evaluation and it was made clear that he could not serve his time on house arrest or work release.

Dallas Cowboy’s rookie Dez Bryant has caused a stir already. He hasn’t even spent a week in training camp and already he has started a bit of a controversy. Apparently the no.1 draft pick has refused to carry teammate Roy Williams’ shoulder pads in a little rookie hazing. Bryant recently signed a five year deal worth $11.8 million with the Cowboy’s.

When asked why he wouldn’t participate he said, “I’m not doing it,” he explained, ” I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads.”

Roy Williams didn’t agree with Bryant and says that he had to go through similar hazing as a rookie. He said ” Everybody has to go through it,” he added “I had to go through it. No matter if you’re a no.1 pick ot the 7,000th, you’ve still got to do something when you’re a rookie.”

*SN* Shoe and Clothing Apparel company ‘Under Armour’  has dropped Bryant. According to CNBC It has everything to do with the fact that Bryant — less than a month after being drafted 24th overall — hit Cowboys OTAs in Nike shoes and gloves, and has been wearing the brand ever since. However, Nike spokesman Kejuan Wilkins has confirmed that the Cowboy’s rookie is not at all endorsed by Nike.

Dawn Richard is featured in the latest issue of Kontrol Magazine looking absolutely beautiful. In her feature,  appropriately titled “Nine Lives of a Feline Fatale,” the ‘Dirty Money’ singer speaks out about everything from her love for shoes to becoming a member of ‘Dirty Money’ after ‘Danity Kane.’

Here is an excerpt:

“It was a bittersweet thing; I wanted to be a part of something like that, so it was exciting to still be a part of a group, yet, scary knowing that I had to learn to like and to rely on a new set of people, one of them being my boss! The same guy who fired my previous group. I also wanted to kind of prove that the things being said, like the solo stuff weren’t true, because they really weren’t. I was battling to prove people wrong, to prove myself right, and then be a part of what I really wanted. I’ve always wanted to be a part of a movement with a group of people who share the same passion, which I thought was Danity Kane, but when it disappeared and when the opportunity arouse itself I thought about making the right decision of joining another group because of my differences that people would not have understood.”

Below are some of the pictures from her amazing photo shoot:
