No one injured at The Boss’ “Be Out Day.”

One man was arrested and another was being sought by police after gunshots disrupted a Florida charity event hosted by rapper Rick Ross. The Boss held his annual “Be Out Day” celebration this week, an event where he distributes food and school supplies, and encourages voter registration. Flo-Rida had performed and Ross had just taken the stage when the suspects began shooting and sending participants diving for cover. “The shots happened near the event … across the street, but it was close enough that it seemed as if it happened in the park (where the show was taking place),” says Elora Mason, publicist for Rick Ross Charities, Inc. “It’s not clear what brought it on, but police said the person shooting appeared to be shooting in the air.” The investigation is ongoing. Police cleared the stage, but Ross later returned to do a short performance and then sign autographs for some of those who remained. Ross says 2,000 backpacks were distributed.

Morgan Freeman reportedly “resting comfortably.”

Having undergone surgery for injuries connected to a weekend car crash, actor Morgan Freeman is back at home. A spokesman for the veteran actor says he left Memphis’ Regional Medical Center on Thursday. “He was released today at noon local time and is now resting comfortably,” Ken Sunshine says. Freeman and his passenger Demaris Meyer, who reportedly gave the hospital a phony name to hide her relationship with the married-but-separated star, were traveling in Mississippi when he lost control of the vehicle. Both occupants had to be cut out of the Nissan. Freeman later revealed that he and his long-time wife Myrna have been separated since December, apparently to quell speculation about Meyer’s identity. She was also treated for her injuries.

Remy Ma hopes legal eagle can come to rescue.

Just three months into an eight-year sentence for felonious assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion, rapper Remy Ma has hired a lawyer who she hopes will help her appeal her way to freedom. William “Billy” Murphy Jr. won an acquittal on behalf of boxing promoter Don King in 1998 after he’d been charged with defrauding Lloyd’s of London. Murphy has also represented DMX and Mary J. Blige, among other celebrities. “With the addition of Mr. Murphy…I now believe I have assembled a team that will have the might and expertise to tell my side of the story,” Remy says in a statement. “I am confident that after hearing everything, my side will prevail.” Remy was convicted this spring in the shooting of her former friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in a dispute over money.

Morgan Freeman’s companion during accident was reportedly wife’s former friend
If you wondered who the initially unidentified woman injured along with Morgan Freeman in his recent car wreck was, you weren’t alone. Having denied several weeks ago that he knew anything about his wife Myrna seeking a divorce, reportedly due to his alleged cheating, word has surfaced that Freeman and his long-time spouse became separated months ago. Freeman suffered broken bones this past weekend when he and Demaris Meyer were involved in a single-car accident after Freeman lost control of his car on a Mississippi road. He’s recovering at a Memphis hospital after arm surgery, and Meyer is reportedly in good condition. The National Enquirer magazine reports that Meyer had been friends with Freeman’s wife before becoming involved with the Oscar-winner. He’s expected to be released from the hospital this week.

Beyoncé’s face appears lighter in ad. The TMZ.com celeb gossip Web site has started a buzz about singer Beyoncé by printing her photo in a new L’Oreal makeup ad. Fans and visitors to the site gave mixed reactions to TMZ’s comparison of a tannish Mrs. Shawn Carter next to L’Oreal’s much paler-skinned pic of the singer, which TMZ argued was “severely Photoshopped.” The alleged skin-lightening job in the advertisement renders Be “almost unrecognizable,” TMZ says. Some comments posted to the site, which polled whether the ad offends Blacks, express disappointment that the singer could approve it. Others suggest that Beyoncé’s naturally fair complexion may have been lighter due to seasonal change at the time of the L’Oreal photo. So far, no word from the singer’s camp about the criticism.
