APThe Steelers’ top two running backs were arrested together today.

Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount, Pittsburgh’s first- and second-string running backs, were in a car together and stopped by Ross Township Police this afternoon. Detective Brian Kohlhepp of the Ross Police Department tells PFT that a motorcycle officer smelled marijuana smoke coming from the car and pulled it over. Police found a baggy containing about 20 grams of marijuana in the car.

Both Bell and Blount are expected to be charged with possession of marijuana. Bell is also expected to be charged with driving under the influence. An unidentified female in the car is also expected to be charged with possession of marijuana. According to police, all three people in the car admitted that the marijuana belonged to all of them.

The Steelers took Bell in the second round of last year’s draft, and he won the starting job as a rookie. He carried 244 times for 860 yards and eight touchdowns last year.

Blount signed with the Steelers this offseason after spending last year in New England, where he had 772 yards and seven touchdowns on 153 carries.

Bell and Blount could both now be subject to league discipline, but likely not until the case is resolved.

MEMPHIS TN (IFS) --Why do the police spend so much time chasing a marijuana joint?  Here in Memphis, a police officer was killed over a dime bag of weed.  A total waste of resources and a person's life for nothing.  The only person that should be punished, is the driver for DUI.  

'Straight Outta Compton' -- Casting Agency Admits Mistake ... Not All Poor People Are Fat and Dark

'Straight Outta Compton' -- Casting Agency Admits Mistake ... Not All Poor People Are Fat and Dark 'STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON' CASTING AGENCY ADMITS MISTAKE Not All Poor People Are Fat & Dark
  July 17 2014, 2:40 PM ET Progress on long-awaited N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton marches ever forward, but the latest development in casting seems a bit backward to say the least.

Last month, we got a peak at the actors who will play the rap legends, with the support of original members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, and now the filmmakers are recruiting extras as they start shooting. Only problem is, for a story as racially charged as N.W.A's one might have hoped the casting call would be a little less tactless and offensive. As Gawker points out, Sande Allesi Casting posted this notice yesterday ranking potential incoming "girls" on an A-D scale that corresponds with descending "hotness."

What's problematic is that while the "A" category accepts drop-dead gorgeous "classy" people of all colors, the B through D designations are very explicitly linked with skin-tone: as the women get less attractive, their flesh gets darker, with the lowest listing calling for "African American girls. Poor, not in good shape. Medium to dark skin tone." SAG OR NON UNION CASTING NOTICE FOR FEMALES-ALL ETHNICITIES- from the late 80's. Shoots on "Straight Outta Compton". Shoot date TBD. We are pulling photos for the director of featured extras.

VERY IMPORTANT – You MUST live in the Los Angeles area (Orange County is fine too) to work on this show. DO NOT SUBMIT if you live out of the area. Nobody is going to be flying into LA to do extra work on this show - and don't tell me you are willing to fly in. SAG OR NON UNION FEMALES - PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR SPECIFIC BREAKDOWN. DO NOT EMAIL IN FOR MORE THAN ONE CATEGORY: A GIRLS: These are the hottest of the hottest. Models. MUST have real hair - no extensions, very classy looking, great bodies.

Please email a current color photo, your name, Union status, height/weight, age, city in which you live and phone number to: SandeAlessiCasting@gmail.com subject line should read: A GIRLS B GIRLS: These are fine girls, long natural hair, really nice bodies.

Please email a current color photo, your name, Union status, height/weight, age, city in which you live and phone number to: SandeAlessiCasting@gmail.comsubject line should read:

D GIRLS Defenders in the Gawker comments section online have said this sort of thing is typical of Hollywood castings (and certainly casting by skin tone is nothing new), but it's not clear whether that reasoning is an appropriate excuse or further explanation of a larger problem. And someone should've been a little more mindful considering the subject matter. After all, N.W.A had a few things to say about racism:

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Screen Gems Studio is offering weekend tours for guests to check out the entire studio including the set of Under the Dome.

Tour director Pamela Stilwell said the studio tours are also an opportunity to show guests an inside look at how film incentives benefit Wilmington.
"We're so excited to be able to offer these studio tours," said Stilwater, "we feel it's a great way to showcase all that we do here and gives our guests an opportunity to see firsthand the importance and the impact of the film incentive."



Tour-goers were excited at the prospect of getting a chance to see a set of their favorite show. Catherine Shottman looked forward to checking out the set of Under the Dome and hopes incentives will continue so she can see her favorite show come back to Wilmington.
"I was hoping Wilmington would offer more incentives so that more productions will come here" said Shottman, "its money for us and I think it would be a good solution because they are going other places and we are losing."

Erika Ramirez' Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart 25th Anniversary: Top 100 Songs - Really?

Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart 25th Anniversary: Top 100 Songs

Photofest; Dan Martensen; PRNewsFoto/Def Jam; John Keatleyk MEMPIS TH (IFS) -- Ms. Ramierz, no punt intended.  But what Planet did you say you come from?  I see that you have not been on Planet Earth too long and you are just starting to listen to recorded music.  Good luck to you in the future.  However, you will have a very short future when it comes to Rap artists.  You have little or no credibility.By Billboard Staff and Erika Ramirez

To honor the 25th anniversary of Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart, we’re counting down the tally's top 100 tracks ever.

Rap is a victorious genre. Having built its history on songs of overcoming the harshest of hard-knock lives, in addition to observances of all of life's nuances, rap is more than just dope beats and rhymes. Its lyrics tell stories with insights and uncommon honesty, traits that have ultimately taken the genre from niched inner-city beginnings to a longstanding place at the heart of pop culture.

So it was fitting for Billboard to create a chart, in 1989, dedicated to the then-rising genre, birthed out of hip-hop. At the time, MTV's influential "Yo! MTV Raps" was only a few months old, and acts like Ice-T and N.W.A were not only ruling rap but beginning to enter the mainstream music conversation.

While rap has evolved, there’s no denying its ever-growing power. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart, we’re counting down the top 100 songs in the tally’s quarter-century history. From Salt-N-Pepa to Macklemore, we've got the genre's past quarter-century covered.
