A drug possession charge against rapper Wiz Khalifa has been dropped after he agreed to appear in a video urging kids to stay in school.

The musician - real name Cameron Thomaz - was stopped by police in Forsyth County, North Carolina after his concert in Winston-Salem last May (12).

He was cited on a marijuana charge after cops allegedly found a stash of the drug on board his tour bus, but prosecutors in Forsyth County have now decided to dismiss the charge after he agreed to carry out community service.

The star will now shoot a video telling teens to focus on their education, which wi...

Every year when April 20 rolls around people across the U.S. celebrate an unofficial holiday: weed day.

Stoners everywhere recognize 4:20 as being the time of day to light up, and when the date is 4/20 it's time to kick back, light up and smoke all day -- especially at 4:20. If you're into that kind of thing, of course.

  The 55th Annual Grammy Awards got off to a hot start on the red carpet, where music's biggest stars gathered before the main event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Most stars adhered to the requests in the memo that CBS sent out on Wednesday, asking stars to tone their fashion choices down. The memo specifically asked that "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered"; also warning that "see through" fashions, visible thongs and attire exposing any part of "genital regions" was forbidden at this year's award show.

Most stars followed the rules, including Jennifer Lopez, who ...

Snoop Dogg has vowed to teach his children the right way to smoke marijuana if they take an interest in pot.

The "Gin & Juice" hit-maker, who now goes by the name Snoop Lion, has always been an advocate of the medicinal effects of weed, previously confessing he once smoked up to 80 blunts a day.

The 41 year old has recently cut back as part of his spiritual rebirth, but he isn't opposed to letting his kids with wife Shante Broadus, Corde, Cordell, and Cori, experiment with pot - as long as he can show them how to properly consume it.

He tells GQ magazine, "It's not that I would ever p...

Rap star Wiz Khalifa has vowed to stay true to his pregnant fiancee Amber Rose because he's too good for his groupies.

The "Black & Yellow" hitmaker admits he's so smitten with the model-turned-singer he only has eyes for Rose.

Khalifa, real name Cameron Thomaz, tells Complex magazine, "I don't look at no girls (sic). All I look at is my fiancee. I don't got no reason to look at other girls. It's weird to some people, but to us it's the right thing.

Stars braved the steamy temperatures in Las Vegas to celebrate music at the Billboard Music Awards and show off the latest styles. However, not everyone was up to the task - here are the best and worst dressed at the Billboard Music Awards.

Best: Taylor Swift, at first glance, looked like she was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Instead, we got the classy and proper style we've come to expect from the star.

Worst: We want to give Jason Derulo props for being a little outside the box with the dotted suit, but it looks like he forgot a tie or a vest or something so we don't h...

The Tha Crossroads hit-makers formed in 1991 as a five-piece, but the veteran rappers were reduced to a trio early last year when both Wish Bone and Krayzie Bone walked out of the group to pursue solo endeavors.

Now Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone and Flesh-n-Bone are planning to celebrate their career longevity by coming together to headline the 2012 Rock the Bells hip-hop concerts. They will perform t...

Flo Rida still holds the ultimate sales marker with 636,000 from the...

The producers of NBC's The Voice aren't making it easy: on Monday's performance show, an "instant elimination" forced two coaches to chop two artists before America's vote.

Neither the singers nor the coaches were fans of the surprise axe. Blake Shelton remarked that if he knew who was responsible for the idea, he'd kick them - and Team Blake's Erin Willett was quick to concur.

"I'm still unhappy with it. I think that's the worst thing we've done," said Team Christina's Chris Mann after the show.

Perhaps the only one to see any merit in the idea was Adam Levine, who remarked that it at...

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre brought Tupac Shakur back from the dead for a show stopping finale to the first Coachella weekend on Sunday night.

Shakur appeared as a hologram on the festival stage after a tribute performance of his hit California Love and the late star 'teamed up' with Snoop on Ain't Nothin' Like A Gangsta Party after an eerie solo rendition of Hail Mary from beyond the grave.

The ghostly apparition drew mixed reactions from those watching the set online, with one fan calling it "wrong on so many levels" and others stunned by the Tupac trick, tweeting, "WTF!"

However, most ra...

Late rapper Nate Dogg is reportedly set to appear at the Coachella festival in California this weekend - as a hologram.

The hip-hop star, real name Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, passed away in March, 2011, after suffering complications from multiple strokes.

However, the 41 year old is set to rise from the dead for the much-hyped music festival and "perform" a short set with his former 213 bandmate Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre on Sunday during their all-star headlining set.

It was decision time again on NBC's The Voice, this time for Team Adam and Team Cee Lo. Who did America save and who sung their last song Tuesday night?

For Team Adam, the bottom three were a trio of lovely ladies: Kim Yarbrough, Katrina Parker and Karla Davis. It was Katrina's heartbreaking rendition of No Doubt's "Don't Speak" that won her Adam's one reprieve.

On Team Cee Lo, facing elimination were Tony Vincent, Cheesa, and Erin Martin. Cheesa delivered a powerful version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" that earned her a second chance, despite Cee Lo first saying that his head was l...

Rapper Wiz Khalifa and his model girlfriend Amber Rose are to wed.

He writes, "She Said Yes!!!"

And Rose shared her excitement, adding, "He has made me the Happiest Woman in the World!!!!"

Rick Ross has beaten rap rivals Drake and Kanye West to land the title of Hottest MC in the Game in a new MTV poll.

Before the big awards show took place Sunday night, we hit the official backstage gifting lounge at the GRAMMYs to check out all the cool gear that the stars get hooked up with. We saw everything from interesting PEPSI concoctions (coffee and cola, we do not recommend) to delicate truffles prepared by the same chef who treated the yummy treats to guests of the royal wedding—oh yeah, we’re quite classy. We watched artists like Skyler Grey, Chris Brown, LL Cool J, Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj try on some sweet shades at the Solstice Sunglass Boutique and even saw stars receive a 24-karat gold ...

The 2012 Grammy Awards will forever be remembered for one reason: the event took place the night after the music industry lost one of their biggest stars in an untimely fashion: Whitney Houston.

Despite the somber undertones of host LL Cool J's opening prayer for the late singer and a rousing performance of her hit song "I Will Always Love You" by Jennifer Hudson; the night was about the music and the attitude that the show must go on.

As always with award shows, the night is also about the fashion. While many stars wore black - perhaps in honor of the late Houston - many stars let the c...

Kanye West's ex Amber Rose is all set on settling down with rapper Wiz Khalifa - once the busy couple can find time to be together for longer than a few days.

The model-turned-singer insists the hitmaker is the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with but they live such separate lives at the moment that just finding time to be together is a challenge.

Rose tells Billboard.com, "We are very much in love and we're really, really busy. He is in L.A. working on his album. I'm in New York working on my album. We travel a lot, separately. We do want to get married and will get married, ...

Kanye West's model ex-girlfriend Amber Rose debuted her first single, "Fame," which features Rose's current boyfriend, Wiz Khalifa, online on Tuesday.

The new track "represents the ups and downs of fame" - something she experienced firsthand while dating West.

But it's new boyfriend Khalifa who encouraged her to move forward with her music career.

"I made the entire song and then sent it to him, he was overseas on tour at the time,' she tells MTV.com's RapFix. "He thought the track was dope and I asked him if he would be on it, he said definitely."

Amber hopes her fans will love the new...

Rapper Wiz Khalifa is facing legal action from a songwriter who has accused the star of plagiarism.

Max Gregory Warren, from Pennsylvania, filed a lawsuit in the state last Friday alleging Khalifa based hit track Black and Yellow on one of his songs.

In the legal papers, Warren claims the 2010 chart hit was copied from a song he wrote in 2007 called Pink N Yellow.

He is suing for fraud and deceit, copyright infringement, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment, and is seeking more than $2 million in damages, according to Allhiphop.com.

Kanye West, Adele, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars will be the ones to watch at the 54th annual Grammy Awards after each landing a slew of top nominations.

The Stronger rapper leads the way with seven nods - his star-studded collaboration All of the Lights is up for Song of the Year and Best Rap Song, while he also earns a nod in the latter category for his Jay-Z duet Otis. The hip-hop stars' Watch The Throne album will also go head-to-head with West's solo disc, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for Best Rap Album.
