Lil Wayne Being Investigated For Assault


Lil Wayne is being investigated for assault for the second time in a month.
According to TMZ, Weezy was reportedly skateboarding with his crew when a fan named Alfredo Marino approached the rapper and asked to take a photograph. After Wayne declined, he returned to his car and tried to slyly snap a picture. Only shortly after, Wayne approached the vehicle with his crew and said, "Don’t you know all it takes is a word and these motherf**kers are going to f**k you up?"
Marino claims that he was then hit in the back of the head with a skateboard, knocking him down and drawing blood. He says that he suffered a concussion and vertigo.
"My client will enforce all of his rights under the law and all individuals responsible for this outrageous incident will be blamed for the damages that my client has suffered and continues to suffer," said his lawyer, Craig Chisvin.
Last month, a photographer filed a police report in Miami, Florida for a similar incident. Police are currently investigating Marino's claims.

10 Best Movies Since 2000!


What are the 10 best movies since the year 2000? Richard Corliss at Time rounds up the greatest film achievements of the millennium so far. Here’s a sampling:

  • 10. The Artist, 2011: A “delightfully inventive comedy” and “sustained cinematic inspiration” that rightfully deserved its best-picture Oscar.
  • 6. The Hurt Locker, 2009: This “acutely nonpartisan” war flick had a “fresh, revisionist vision” and was helmed by Kathryn Bigelow, “a smart director of gritty action films.”
  • 4. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000: Ang Lee assembled three stars from three eras to create “a movie of gravity and buoyancy, of high art and higher spirits. It’s contemplative, and it kicks ass.”
  • 2. The Lord of the Rings, 2001-2003: Hugely and riskily expensive epics that employed “vision and daring” to make them “among the most satisfying achievements of the new millennium.”
  • 1. WALL-E, 2008: Pixar’s animated feature has “technical wizardry,” “digital sheen,” plus a “love story as pure as any in the cinema’s first 100 years.”
