This Amanda Bynes flight was grounded before takeover. The embattled actress, who has been a tabloid staple for months, was apparently rejected from boarding a private plane due to lack of identification. That's when this "Amanda Bynes Flight" took a nosedive. Bynes apparently told the pilot, in lieu of producing a drivers license, to Google her. Bynes' drivers license was suspended a few months back for some driving violations, so the starlet tried to weasel her way on via her web notoriety. Find out more about the Amanda Bynes flight in the video. "amanda bynes flight"

via noisey.vice.com The Source was first to report, in a post by a guy named Sha Be Allah (no, really), that Tim Dog died from diabeetus this past February, and it spread to other media outlets from there. That post has since disappeared from the Internets. Drew "My First Rap Concert" Millard from Noisey contacted Sha Be Allah to find out TF is going on here. She Be Allah, for his part, claims that (a) he doesn't know Tim Dog; and (b) he had two, erm, sources for his post, a close friend and and a relative of Tim Dog, but of course he can't say who they are. #integrity He was very adamant about the fact that he doesn't know Tim Dog. After hours of trying to get hold of Sha Be Allah, we finally spoke on the phone late last night. Despite being the one to break the report, he stresses that he’s a neutral party in this whole whirlwind. “I don’t know that motherfucker,” he says. “Make sure you print that.” But it sounds like he might be lying about how the post disappeared from the website. As for why his post disappeared, he said, “We launched a new site probably a week or two after Tim’s death. The article’s not actually down, it was just cleared when we started the new site.” However, a search for “Tim Dog” on the Source’s website yields results from January 14, February 28, and March 22, none of which are the Tim Dog death report (view a screenshot here). Furthermore, a perusal of Sha Be Allah’s Source author page (he posts under the author name "pologod") yields no Tim Dog announcement either, despite other articles dated to February 14th that came from him (screenshot here). (Note that the first screenshot is of posts that don't seem to have anything to do with Tim Dog and the second screenshot is from February of last year, not this past February.) I couldn't make out the grammar of the following passage well enough to know what it meant. Speaking under the condition of anonymity, a Source staff member who claims to be in the office when Sha Be Allah filed the piece said to me, “After several weeks of things going on, he went back to the office and told us that the guy was hiding or something. I don’t know what happened—some financial or legal issues. From there, you know. They’re looking for him.” Hardly definitive proof of Tim Dog’s life or death, and when I asked him why that post in particular was deleted, the staffer said, “I couldn’t tell you that.” Related: Noisey: Nerdy white guys are the best hip-hop journalists

Chicago rapper Chief Keef has lashed out at pop singer Katy Perry just a couple days after she posted a tweet about his song "Hate Being Sober."

We came to love his music while he was a Cool Kid, but as Chuck Inglish continues to evolve his catalogue with the release of an EP that serves as the pace car for Convertibles. Travi$ Scott, Asher Roth, Buddy, and a few others show up throughout the 9 tracks.

Chief Keef needs guidance. Yesterday, Katy Perry tweeted about being dismayed at hearing Sosa's "Hate Bein' Sober" on the radio. The 17-year-old Chicago rapper has responded in kind today (May 23) by telling her to "s-ck his d-ck."  Actually, it was bit more gratuitous than that. "Dat b-tch Katy Perry Can Suck Skin Off Of my D-ck," read his tweet. But the "I Don't Like" rapper wasn't done.  "Ill Smack The Sh-t out her\," he added. Yesterday, Perry tweeted, "Just heard a new song on the radio called "I hate being sober" I now have serious doubt for the world." Definitely not cool if you're a Chief Keef acolyte, but certainly not worthy of physical threats. We would could act like we're shocked at such behavior, but who are we kidding? This is the same guy that posted a pic of a chick giving him sloppy toppy on his Instagram and was just arrested for puffing kush in his hotel room. So at this point, what's it going to take to get Keef to adjust his behavior? If the feminists rally behind this (he threatened a Pop star, that's not going to go over well) and say, start pressuring his label to drop him, maybe he'll realize the err of his ways. Rappers always switch up when something starts affecting their cash flow, ask Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. The fact that soon enough we will see a rap song with the words "Katy Perry Dis" shows how coontastic this all is. Check out the tweets in the gallery. Someone get this guy a real father figure, if it's not too late. -- Phots, Instagram, Twitter

“The Hangover 3 is the ultimate backward engineering,” says its director Todd Phillips. Hip-Hop Wired got some interesting and sometimes rap-related intel about the creation of the latest (and allegedly last) film from the comedy franchise via its stars and behind the scenes players. While in Las Vegas, we got some insight from actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and even Ken Jeong aka Mr. Chow. We also got word from Phillips that a certain Detroit rapper inspired the name of one of the film's new characters. Also, did you know Alan (Galifianakis) is a big time Hip-Hop fan? The Hangover Part III is in theaters today (May 23). But before you check out the film, get a look at 7 Interesting Things To Know About The Hangover Part III on the following pages. -- Photos: Warner Bros.
