DON CORNELIUS Pioneering Show Host & Creator of SOUL TRAIN Found Dead

WOW. At a loss for words on something this tragic. Reports are confirming that the creator and host of SOUL TRAIN, Don Cornelius was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, California home early this morning. He was the victim of what appears to be a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Beginning in 1971, Chicago native Don Cornelius created and produced the groundbreaking variety show, which went on to become one the longest running shows of its kind in the history of television. He hosted the show from its inception till 1993. Soul Train presented live performances from many of the greatest entertainers in black/urban music. The show was revered for its famous "Soul Train Line" segment and the deep, baritone vocal delivery of Mr. Cornelius. He was 75 years old.

Feds Shut Down File Sharing Site MEGAUPLOAD...and The CEO Is SWIZZ BEATZ???

 

Multi-Platinum producer/rapper Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) was revealed to be the CEO of MEGAUPLOAD, one of the internet's largest file sharing websites, after news broke yesterday that the Justice Department of the United States seized $50 million dollars in assets and shut down the site. Megaupload boasted over 50 million visitors daily and may have had up to 150 million registered users. Indictments from the grand jury accuse seven of Megaupload's operators (including former CEO Kim Dotcom) of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and other charges. Swizz Beats was not among those indicted. Swizz may be a recent player within Megaupload and more information is forthcoming. Swizz beats is married to R&B singer/songwriter Alicia Keys.
