Rapper Nipsey Hussle was arrested in Los Angeles last night prior to his scheduled appearance at Jay Z‘s Made In America festival.

The 29-year-old, born Emmias Ashghedom, was taken into custordy at Slauson Avenue Clothing in Hyde Park, on the 3400 block of West Slauson Avenue around 11:30 p.m..

NBC reports that LAPD Lt. Julius Guay stated the rapper was arrested for “obstructing a peace officer.” The police had been called to the clothing store because of a probation complaint search. They arrested the man violating his probation, along with Nipsey Hussle.

It is unclear if the arrest will interfere with today’s schedule performance, but we will update the story as it develops.

As the back-to-school groans are mounting, it’s time to enjoy one last weekend of freedom before fall officially hits. One of the best parts about summer, obviously, is getting to sleep in—but a new study supported nationally by pediatricians indicates that early school start times, such as those before 8:30 a.m., are actually a health threats for teens.

This past Monday (August 25), the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement that called for school districts to delay their start time until 8:30 a.m. or later for middle school and high school students. This call to action is supported by the study’s findings that adolescents in America are experiencing chronic sleepiness and that it poses a threat to their academic success, health and safety.

“We want to promote safety with kids,” Dr. Cora Breuner told NPR in regards to the study’s findings. Dr. Breuner works at Seattle Children’s Hospital as an adolescent medicine specialist “We truly believe that our teenagers are getting six to seven hours of sleep a night, and they need eight to 10.”

Currently, over 40 percent of school districts begin school before 8:00 a.m. and a mere 15 percent have a start time at or after 8:30 a.m..

Dr. Judith Owens, who works at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. as a sleep researcher, wrote a more comprehensive review of the scientific evidence that the effects of insufficient sleep include health-related concerns severe as depression and increased obesity risk.

Even before Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were Mr. and Mrs. Smith Pitt, Jolie was single-mindedly dedicated to her role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Maybe that’s why her first public statement after the world was surprised by the Brangelina wedding wasn’t about marital bliss, but about the escalating situation in Syra.

“Three million refugees is not just another statistic, it is a searing indictment of our collective failure to end the war in Syria.” Jolie said, in a statement on Friday (August 29).

Jolie, who is now a special envoy for the UNHCR, is referring to the conflict in Syria and Iraq between the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) and the US. ISIS is attempting to set up their own Sunni Islamic state and have already gained control of huge tracts of land in Syria and Iraq. The hostile takeovers and resulting violence have led to the huge number of refugees that Jolie is referring to.

“International stability is steadily bleeding away in Syria,” Jolie continued on. “UN Security Council Resolutions are being ignored; war crimes are being committed on a daily basis; regional countries are staggering under the human burden; and Syrian refugees are dying in the Mediterranean sea, trying to reach Europe.”

Reese Witherspoon has donned her Elle Wood pink duds once again—and this time it’s for a cause. Not that getting into Harvard to win back her ex-boyfriend wasn’t important, but Reese posted this throwback “Pink Lady” video and Instagram on Wednesday (August 27) in a show support for a four-year-old named Will who is currently battling cancer.

Will’s mother Julie emailed Reese to let her know that one of her best-known roles in 2001′s “Legally Blonde” had helped cheer her son up while he was in the hospital. After hearing this, the actress simply had to send a personal message to her young fan.

Sending love from both Elle and her adorable puppy sidekick Bruiser, Reese is in head-to-toe pink and all smiles to help support one of her biggest fans during his tough battle.

“#TeamWill This is for one of the strongest little four-year-olds I can imagine,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “Will – I hear that you’re fighting so hard and strong against cancer and that in the hospital you’ve been watching a lot of Legally Blonde and loving it.”

She continued on: “I hope it makes you laugh! I wanted you to know that I made this sign in your honor – and I’m sending a big big hug and my hope and prayers. Just know – I’m a really big fan of YOURS! PS anyone else – feel free to make your own sign for Will and post it with the hashtag #TeamWill so he ...

It’s no secret around here that we’ve got a soft spot for Sam Smith. The British crooner is one of our 2014 Artists To Watch, and did you see that VMA performance of “Stay With Me”? Let me include it below in case you missed it.

As Sam continues to conquer the world with his heart-rending ballads, one of our favorites, “I’m Not The Only One,” got an upbeat, garage remix from British DJ and producer Grant Nelson. The heartbreak and cheating is all still there, but it’s pumped up with a thumping beat and an array of airy vocals and plenty of jumpy synths.

Along with pretty much everyone who has come in contact with Sam’s mesmerizing voice, we loved the original version with its sparse, lonely piano. But this remix raises the stakes of the track and imbues the song with a little more ferocity.

This might be the version to turn to when you’ve started to get over the betrayal, and you’re ready to hit the dance floor. Thanks Grant, we owe you one. And Sam, thank you for blessing us with that soulful, perfect voice—along with your endless humility and adorable smile.

“Never quit, never give in.”

It’s a message anyone can relate to, and it is thread as the chorus to Lil Herb’s soulful “Fight or Flight,” which was remixed by Common and Chance the Rapper on Friday (August 29).

The new track, which follows up the original from Herb’s February release, Welcome to Fazoland, merges the three styles together smoothly on the Brian Miller-produced cut.

There’s G Herbo’s gruff, hardened vocals to open and close the song, with Common’s poetic, seasoned verse and Chance’s vibrant delivery in between. The three tell stories of their younger years and the things they’ve seen, each coming with a unique tale.

Lil Herb was also featured on the cover art and the opening track on Common’s Nobody’s Smiling album, which dropped in July.

So, Lorde has basically won all of the awards now — most recently snapping up the VMA for Best Rock Video. In honor of this Flashback Friday — and in the wake of her win — we’d like to take a look back to late 2013, when we at MTV did our first interviews with the now-massive pop star.

There were inklings even then that she would find herself in the firmament — as evidenced by this passel of quotes.

From our first-ever interview with Lorde — in which we declared her “cooler than you” — to casual chats about her now-iconic hair, it was apparent that Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor’s wry humor and rare talent would take her far.

Here are some standout moments from our vintage (read: from last year) footage of the “Tennis Court” singer:

1.) “It just seems crazy that you wouldn’t care about what your music videos look like. Anything that’s coming from you — doesn’t matter if it’s not music, it’s content that you’re putting a name to. In this day and age you can’t afford to be lazy with that kind of stuff.”

2.) “I don’t close the set with ‘Royals.’”

3.) “Pop music doesn’t have to be stupid and alternative music doesn’t have to be boring — you can mix the two together and make something cool that people will like. People have a brain.”

4.) “I have pretty strong morals and opinions being ...
