Chicago prosecutors certainly think so, accusing the R&B superstar of intentionally misleading the judge in his child pornography case by asking to be allowed to leave town this weekend for a radio station-sponsored concert in New York City in which he's not even on the bill.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Kelly told Judge Vincent Gaughan that he was "one of the featured performers" for the show, which would've required him to be in the Big Apple on June 7 and 8. But, prosecutors say, they placed a call to the radio station hosting the concert and discovered that Kelly was not scheduled to appear.
"At the time [Kelly] presented his motion to the court, he was not scheduled to perform," Special Assistant State's Attorney Ellen Mandeltort tells the Sun-Times.
Prosecutors have routinely tried to ground Kelly, repeatedly asking that he be barred from leaving the state of Illinois since his indictment last year on 21 charges of child pornography stemming from an alleged videotaped sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl. |

Hip Hop diva Lil' Kim is giving her fans the opportunity to get freaky with her - sort of.
"I am going to make a life-size Kim doll that will be anatomically correct in ever way," the rap star told the British tabloid The Daily Sport.
Kim explained the doll is in tune with her sexual mantra.
"Being dirty is good. It is what made me what I am today. It's what people love," she continued.
On June 3, Lil Kim performed Hot 97's Summer Jam and accidentally revealed her assets to the crowd of over 50,000. On the same day, her animation debut, "Those Who Walk in Darkness," was released in stores. Kim lends her voice to the lead character, Soledad.

He's a personality," Meth said. "He's like ODB. Even though he keeps fu#king up somebody still wants to see him."
In the movie "Soul Plane" Method Man will play Snoop's best friend, but in order to make it believable, he might want to keep his relationship cool with Snoop, especially on the media. Instead he rips into him by saying "Honestly, I think he's one of the worst rap actors in the game right now. There's a bunch of us and he's one of the worst ones," Meth said, "and Snoops knows that, but Snoop's a hustler. He's gonna keep his face out there."
That's a bold statement for Meth considering he hasn't been in a movie of high quality like "Training Day," which featured Snoop as a drug dealer in a wheel chair. Although, Meth says he might reconsider his thoughts after the two work together on the film "Soul Plane," that is soon to be filmed this summer. So be on the look out next year for a remake of "Airplane" that is sure to bust some laughs!

MTV reports the man whom federal prosecutors claim laundered money through the Murder Inc. rap label was sentenced Monday in Maryland to 37 months in prison on a federal gun charge.
Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon in April when he was found shooting at a Maryland-based firing range. According to his lawyer, Robert Simels, McGriff's sentence was a result of a negotiated plea.
McGriff has been the target of a wide-ranging federal investigation that alleges the onetime convicted drug lord laundered money through the Murder Inc. rap label, and that he was involved in the 2000 shooting of rap star 50 Cent and a 2001 double-murder outside Baltimore.
In 1987, McGriff was convicted on drug conspiracy charges. Prosecutors believed he was the head of a drug cartel known as the "Supreme Team" in Queens, New York, and that he ran a crack-selling ring between New York and Baltimore.
In handing down the sentence on Monday, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz told McGriff, 42, that there was no reason at all for him to be at a firing range. "There is no reason to keep your skills up," he said. |
