Radar Online has obtained chilling text messages that rapper 50 Cent sent to his 16-year-old son Marquise in the weeks before he was charged with assaulting his youngest son's mother.
Apparently 50 Cent was outraged after the lad failed to open the door during a custody visit in Atlanta. The shocking text messages reveal the dysfunctional nature of communications between the mentally unbalanced rapper and his son.
The National Security Agency (NSA) disclosed in a classified Capitol Hill briefing that it didn't obtain court orders to listen in on Americans' phone calls.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, made the disclosure on Thursday to members of Congress, CNET reports. The authorization extended to emails and text messages too.

The reason for this wasteful expenditure of taxpayers' money is simple: it's easier to listen in on phone calls if everyone has a phone.
Sales of George Orwell's classic novel '1984' skyrocketed 69% on Amazon, according to a report on WashingtonExaminer.com.

AS if President Obama doesn't have enough integrity problems: a new report indicates the Obama administration strong armed wireless communications company Verizon into releasing telephonic data on every Verizon customer.

Los Angeles Laker star Kobe Bryant is out for the season with a severely sprained ankle that he suffered in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday.
Calling the injury his worst in 13 seasons, Bryant blamed Hawks player Dahntay Jones for "playing dirty."
According to The Washington Post, Bryant was injured when he landed awkwardly on Jones’s foot as he attempted a potentially game-winning layup in the final seconds of the Lakers’ 96-92 loss to the Hawks at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
X-rays of Bryant's ankle were negative but the Lakers say their bread and butter playmaker is "out indefinitely."
