Gucci, real name Radric Davis, is charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light or stop sign, damage to government property, obstruction, no license, no proof of insurance and other traffic charges, Atlanta Police spokesman Curtis Davenport told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Former Pres Clinton on Lil Waynes Release....

Bill Clinton appeared on "The Morning Freak Show" yesterday (November 2nd) on 96.1 Kiss FM, to drum up support for Democratic candidates running in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During the interview hosts Mikey and Big Bob asked Bill Clinton about his thoughts on Lil Wayne, who will be freed after eight months in prison, for carrying a loaded handgun on his tour bus in July of 2007.

"I tell you what I think about that. I know this is kinda a funny question for you to ask me. My daughter introduced me to rap and hip-hop music, after I said somethings she thought were not very smart. She said 'dad you need to listen, a lot of these people are smart.' This guy's smart and he's got ability and he's got a new chance now," President Clinton said. President Clinton continued his thoughts on the New Orleans rapper, whose music is also on President Barack Obama's iPod. "I hope is that this is not something just to brand him as a cool guy, but that it will never happen again to him," Clinton said of Lil Wayne's time spent behind bars. "A lot of these people they don't get successful in that, just like any area of life by being really dumb, their really smart," Clinton continued. "But a lot of them have had really tough lives and they almost think its cool to get in trouble every now and then or they don't know how to stay out. What I hope will happen is that he has a good life now.

"If all goes according to plan, Lil Wayne will be freed from prison on Thursday. "When I'm released, I'll be giving my musical attention to The Carter IV and promoting I Am Not A Human being I may drop a mixtape! You know me!…the first five things I will do is kiss Reginae, kiss little Dwayne, kiss Neal, kiss Kameron and kiss my wonderful mother Cita," Lil Wayne told Billboard.

Mariah Talks about Pregnancy!

After suffering a miscarriage following her April 2008 wedding to Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey cried herself to sleep many nights.
But in an exclusive interview in the new Us Weekly, Mariah says she and Cannon never gave up.

Though she dismisses reports that she did IVF, Mariah says that she began taking progesterone, a hormone that is often prescribed to boost fertility and support or help maintain pregnancy in women susceptible to miscarriage.Nick also tells Us Weekly his wife relied on "once-a-day" acupuncture, "all over her body. I think it helped her quite a bit, because it was a good destressor."

Seeing Carey's face when they learned she was pregnant "was priceless," Nick recalls. "We definitely cried. We still cry all the time. It's an emotional journey."
With their baby due in spring, Mariah says it still "amazes" her she's going to have Nick's child. "He's a great person, and we have more in common than not,".
