Alice Tan Ridley, the mother of 'Precious' star Gabourey Sidibe, is said to be gearing up for her own big break.

The New York subway singer is planning to follow in Susan Boyle's footsteps and audition for the upcoming season of NBC's 'America's Got Talent.' Ridley told Radar Online that she's all set to audition in the Big Apple on March 20.

"I would not be entering the competition if I did not think I could do well," she said. "Singing is what I do and I know I can do this."

You'd think that a one year jail sentence at Riker's Island would be a safe place for Lil' Wayne to stay out of trouble with the law, but one pre-existing charge may cause some problems for the thug rap icon.

An Arizona judge issued a bench warrant on March 16 after the 27 year-old, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, failed to appear for a final trial management conference hearing on drug and weapon charges because he is serving jail time.

Maybe the judge doesn't watch TV or read the newspapers (or blogs). Lil' Wayne reported to serve a one year prison sentence in New York City last week.

The Grammy Award-winning MC's attorney, James Tilson, filed motions to have the March 30 trial date vacated.

He also asked to allow the New Orleans native to appear after he finishes his New York jail sentence and for the bond to remain the same.

The bad news about misappropriation of funds continues for Grammy Award-winner Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti nonprofit.

As previously reported, the former Fugees rapper came under fire in January for supposedly using Yéle Haiti money to pay himself out for a concert to raise funds for the organization. He has since denied those allegations.

This time, there are newfound allegations that the 37 year-old married man shelled out the charity's money to his mistress

According to a 2009 tax return obtained by The Smoking Gun, Yéle Haiti, which has been at the forefront of delivering water and supplies to survivors of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, gave out $105,000 to Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus.

German-born supermodel-turned-television personality Heidi Klum and her Grammy Award-winning husband Seal are planning a major vow renewal ceremony this May.

Every year, the couple take their children on an annual trip to Mexico to renew their vows. It's usually pretty intimate with just the family.

Last year, the swine flu moved the shindig to Malibu, where the couple, who tied the knot in 2005, made headlines for throwing a white trash-themed event. Klum corn-rolled her hair and threw on a wedding dress, while Seal sported a mullet hair style and jean shorts.

Today, an Arizona judge sentenced rapper DMX to six months in a Phoenix jail for violating his probation by regularly using drugs, court officials said.

The former chart-topper, whose legally known as Earl Simmons, was also placed on 20 months probation by Maricopa County Court Commissioner Christine Mulleneaux.

He was arrested last week after authorities said he admitted to using cocaine and not complying with the terms of his treatment plan.

The 39-year-old New York native faced five counts of violating probation.

With a rap sheet just as long as his Def Jam Records discography, DMX -- who also had a promising acting career -- has a long history of arrests on charges ranging from animal cruelty to reckless driving and weapons possession.

With Oscar Award season behind her, Gabourey Sidibe is still making headlines.

All the buzz seems to be about her weight, though.

It seems that everyone has been is weighing in on the 'Precious' star's weight and health, causing a whirlwind of comments debating whether or not the topic is hurtful or helpful.

Last week shock jock radio personality Howard Stern cautioned Sidibe to seek help immediately before she encounters future fatal health issues.

Some took offense to Stern's brash comments including the actress' mother, Alice Tan Ridley, who told him to "get a life."

And then a weight loss company -- Acai Supply -- has approached the 26-year-old to provide her with a year's worth of their product.

Since stunning the boxing world in 2005 with his retirement announcement, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has re-branded himself to help rehabilitate his tainted image.

Within the last year the Brooklyn, New York native has made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to talk candidly about his troubled past, which included domestic/drug abuse. The boxing legend showcased a more livid and detailed account of his career in the James Toback documentary, 'Tyson.' The award-winning film wasn't the last time fans would see him on the silver screen, he also demonstrated his sense of humor in the hit comedy comedy, 'The Hangover.'

As if seeing "Iron Mike" crooning to Phil Collins' classic 'In the Air Tonight' wasn't amusing enough, Tyson's next venture may portray the former heavyweight as a lightweight.
