“King Tut” allegedly knifed woman seven times. New Jersey cops are still after a Dipset-affiliated rapper almost a week after he allegedly stabbed a woman seven times. Darnell “King Tut” Brittingham is accused of attacking the woman in an apartment just a day after he was reportedly caught with a cocaine-stuffed teddy bear in a vehicle during a traffic stop. He was released on $25,000 bail last week, and a day later, police say Brittingham committed the knife attack. She’s expected to survive. But Brittingham, 23, could be charged with attempted murder when he’s found. The rapper is said to be associated with Freaky Zeekey’s 730 Dips.

Berry named second sexiest movie character. Does Halle Berry in a superhero suit turn you on? If so, you’re not the only one.

Actually, the title was more like “sci-fi babe,” but you get the point. The MSN Movies poll awarded Megan Fox the top spot for her role in the film Transformers, barely ahead of Berry. Conceived in the X-Men comic books, the character Storm is an African princess whose super-powers include controlling weather elements.
