Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves has a baby girl

The genius who jailbroke (read: hacked) Apple’s coveted iPhone has done it again. George Hotz, aka Geohot, set his sights on the PlayStation 3 and took only five weeks to “crack” the Sony gaming console.

This feat is remarkable due to the fact that the PS3 is the last remaining box that can’t be modified for pirated games, unlike the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Geohot has remained tight-lipped on the sort of exploits he can achieve with his utterly disfigured PS3 pictured above, but we suspect loading unsanctioned programs to tap on the powerful Cell processor is one of the possibilities.

Bad times could be looming for American rapper Li´l Wayne. The 27-year old hiphopper from New Orleans could be facing up to a year in jail for illegal possesion of a weapon. He is not the first rap-artistwho lately had the threat of being 365 days confined dangling above his head. Strangely enough fellow hiphop-artists T.I. and Li´l Kim were his predecessors with the same amount of jailtime. What´s up with that anyway?

Suddenly people seem to be doing four whole seasons behind bars. Of course being in jail period, is already bad enough. Unfortunately there are more than a few in the hiphop-world who can say they´ve had this experience. New Yorker from Jamaican descent,  Busta Rhymes, had had regular run-ins with the law; Baltimore-born DMX had to explain his actions of abusing his dogs to the police. Then there is Coolio (who had hit Gangsta´s paradise more than a decade ago) and fairly recently the man who oozes lots of personality, Snoop Dogg,  had trouble coming into the UK due to an earlier arrest.

It´s striking that only in the rap-scene these sort of things seem to occur. It´s virtually non-existent in other music-genres. Death-metal artists, for example, may be scary in some people´s eyes, but that´s maybe all they are. ´Scary-looking´. But it´s known that in the United States a high percentage of specifically, black men, is in jail. And rap-start, have we find, aren´t obviously, exempt from that. I actually like, for instance, Li´l Wayne. I liked how he celebrated ladies who have a bigger size in his video from last year ´Lollipop´.

So is this going to jail from rap-artists ´simply´ a ´comes with the territory´- thing in this branch of music? Maybe a strange kind of ´rites of ´rites of passage´ ? Do they view that as such? I hope not. ´Weezie´ and all the others are too fantastic to be such a terrible self-fulfilling prophecy.
