Nate Dogg Is Not Having The Best Year

First, Nate Dogg had a stroke. Then the always-classy folks at TMZ mocked his ladyfriend for not being upset enough during the 911 call reporting said stroke. Then the Internet thought he was dead. And now? The once-ubiquitous singer has been arrested for making "terrorist threats," according to TMZ—which somehow restrained itself from making a joke about his medical condition while reporting on why, exactly, he's headed for the medical ward of a downtown Los Angeles jail.

We know, we know: "Rumor first, questions later" is the blogosphere mantra. But damn, TMZ! You've resorted to publishing the sort of celebrity-death rumors that we used to hear on the third-grade playground; next you'll be telling us that Mikey from Life, Eddie Vedder and Zack from Saved By The Bell all died in a car wreck the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. And even if this was true, did you really think it was fitting to go with that goofy picture? Kingdom Come wasn't that bad. More »
