Rap legend Gil Scott-Heron



American funk and Godfather of rap legend, Gil Scott-Heron, has died age 62.

Having just returned from Europe, he became ill and passed away on Friday in a NYC hospital.

Famous for his mix of funk, blues and jazz style… with such hits as ‘The Bottle’ and ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’, he was regarded as a major influence of generations of hip-hop, soul and rap artists. He was 62. Scott-Heron mixed minimalistic percussion and spoken-word performances tinged with politics in a style he sometimes referred to as bluesology.

Charlie Sheen is selling Beverly Hills Mansion

Charlie Sheen has put his infamous Beverly Hills mega-mansion up for sale -- so if you've got a spare $7.2 MILLION to blow ... you could own a pad with your very own private porno theater.
Sheen listed the 7,924 square foot estate in the last few days -- touting the place as a "Celebrity Home" complete with 5 bedrooms and 7 baths. Charlie has listed the pad at $7.2 mil. I don't think this is "winning".
