sugesmokes.jpgSuge Knight’s obviously suffered his share of legal and personal and zip code-related indignities lately, but at least he hopes to soon be one step closer to putting the tarnished legacy of Death Row Records behind him.

If upheld, the injunction would prevent Knight “from congregating, carrying guns, drinking alcohol in public or staying out past 10 p.m.” in addition to a pre-existing injunction that prevents him from being fed after midnight. Can’t-catch-a-break Suge, needless to say, is contesting:

princepic2.jpgOver the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reviewed the first night of Prince’s stint at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel; in addition to performing two full sets and hugging Penelope Cruz, Prince managed to drive away some of hip-hop’s biggest names:
