Amy Winehouse's Official Toxicology!

Many people including myself have jumped to conclusions on what they believe caused the death of the late Amy Winehouse.  Based on her past struggles with drugs, many assumed that she probably died from an overdose.  What was found in her toxicology was a lot different than what many of us would have expected!

Check out this article from www.abcnews.com:

There were "no illegal substances" found in Amy Winehouse's body at the time of her death, her family claims, according to The Associated Press.

The family revealed the results of a toxicology test in a statement released today.

"Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death," the statement read. "Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death."

"The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October," the statement concluded.

Winehouse's formal cause of death remains unknown and will be not be released until October.

The 27-year-old singer was found dead at her flat in London's Camden district July 23.

Officials reportedly found no drug paraphernalia or sign of drugs in Winehouse's home.

Bruce A. Goldberger, a toxicology professor at the University of Florida, said the negative toxicology result does not completely rule out the involvement of a drug or a combination of drugs that could have been missed by the testing procedures or were metabolized before the test.

DELONTE WEST FILLS OUT APPLICATION TO WORK AT HOME DEPOT!

Delonte West stated via his twitter page that he has recently filled out an application to work at Home Depot.  Many players have chosen to go overseas to obtain money during the lockout, however West won't allowed to do the same.  Delonte has had a few issues with the law over his career, so the judge will not allow him to leave the country.

Check out this article from Yahoo, which speaks about West and other players' ventures during previous lockouts:

Delonte West(notes) apparently wants to work at Home Depot during the NBA's current lockout. And whether this is a Twitter joke or a legitimate attempt to build up his bankroll one hour at a time, can you blame the guy?

The history of NBA players taking a gig on the side is long and unheralded. Some choose sneaker endorsements, because the sneaker companies choose them. Some, before the NBA really got off the ground, chose selling insurance in the 1950s and 1960s during the offseason. Former scrub Reggie Harding (who famously yelled "come on, man. It ain't me!" when a liquor store clerk recognized his 7-foot frame) held up businesses with a gun and a ski mask. On the flip side, Mark West became a licensed broker years before his NBA career ended.

Then there's Ron Artest(notes), who famously applied for a summertime gig at Circuit City -- back when there was a Circuit City -- to take in the company's 15 percent employee discount. The Bulls quickly put the kibosh on that second job attempt once they found out what was going on.

West? A free agent in a lockout that possibly might not end for another 14 months? This might run a little deeper. Via his Twitter account.

Delonte swears he's on the up and up about working at Home Depot:

And that the reason he has to stay stateside as opposed to working overseas during the lockout has to do with his past legal woes:

It's possible that West could be unhappy for reasons that are out of control, namely his bipolar diagnosis from two years ago that has at the very least shined a little light on why West sometimes acts a bit mercurial. At best, he reminds of former Spurs forward Malik Rose(notes), who moved back in with his parents during the 1998 lockout, famously sleeping in bed sheets adorned with cartoon characters, only to spring out long enough to help his squad win the championship in June of 1999.

West made over a million dollars last year working for the Celtics, and he's made well over $14 million since joining the NBA in 2004. The guy should have a nest egg, there's no doubt, but he's also dealing with chemical imbalances that could either make his online fulminations worrisome (West might be out of money) or understandable (he could be sitting on a mountain of cash, and just working through some embarrassment over the lockout publicly).

Either way, let's slow down a bit before we cackle away at a guy either trying to set up a legitimate offseason gig, or someone who might be working through his ups and downs online.

DWYANE WADE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING PLAYING OVERSEAS!

Dwyane Wade according to several reports is considering playing overseas if the NBA lockout doesn't come to an end.  Many players have decided to take contracts overseas, but the trend of superstars began when Deron Williams decided to sign with the Turkish club, Besiktas.  Besiktas is also rumored to be in talks with another NBA superstar, Kevin Durant.  I see how this makes sense for some players, but not for Wade.  He has been injured several times in his career, so I think the lockout will give him some time to rest his body.  According to the Associated Post he was quoted as saying, "I'm going to play basketball this year.  I don't know where, but I love the game so much that I will play it."

Check out this article from espn.com which speaks about Wade possibly playing in China:

Dwyane Wade's agent said Friday his client has received no offers nor has had any discussions with professional teams from China, but he wouldn't rule out the possibility of that scenario changing.

"If offers are made down the road, will they be looked at? Absolutely," agent Henry Thomas told ESPN.com on Friday.

The Chengdu Daily reported that Zhejiang Guangsha was offering Wade $2 million per month to play next season in the Chinese Basketball Association, a report that was later denied by a team official.

Wade's agent also said it was untrue, but he made clear that the Miami Heat guard would look at China as an option if the NBA lockout lasts into the fall.

Wade was in China last month, along with several other NBA stars, for endorsement tours. There have been reports on other Chinese media sites that large offers will be made to Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki.

"Neither Dwyane Wade nor I have received any offers like that," Thomas said.

Sources with knowledge of the Chinese Basketball Association's inner workings confirmed to ESPN.com's Marc Stein earlier this week that the Chinese league was giving strong consideration to implementing a rule that would prevent NBA players from playing in China during an extended work stoppage.

Asked if there has been any dialogue between Wade and Chinese teams, Thomas said there has been "nothing."

"Dwyane said something along the lines of that being 'premature' and 'we're not there yet,' and that is accurate," Thomas said.

O.NITTY- FROM THE GROUND UP

O. Nitty is one of the hardest working emcees in the business.  He is a humble individual and he knows what it means to work hard, hence the title of his upcoming album, "From the Ground Up."  While speaking to O. Nitty, it didn't take me long to see his passion to be great, and his humbleness in becoming so.  He is well-known in New Jersey, but shortly he will no longer be just a household name.

As mentioned before, O Nitty's upcoming album will be entitled, "From the Ground Up."  His first two singles from this album will be "All About the Money," and a song for the ladies entitled, "Let's Make Love."  On this upcoming album he is expecting features from Tru Sol, Shane the Golden Voice, Blue Nile, and Dallas, Texas artist J-Harm.  This album will be released via his own record label, A.R.M. Records. On the album Nitty will be talking about his trials and tribulations, family members he has lost, and relationships he has experienced.  He wants to give his fan base an opportunity to really connect with him.

Nitty's latest mixtape!

Nitty's latest mixtape which is available for download on www.datpiff.com is entitled, "The Heat of Success."  This mixtape was released in 2010.  Popular singles from this project are "Shook Ones," "Go So Hard," and "Ride."  He also has videos for the aforementioned singles which can all be seen on youtube.com/armrecords.

In the past, Nitty has worked with popular artists such as Jaheim, Ransom, Nucci Reyo, and Naughty By Nature.  He has also worked with popular producers such as The Heatmakerz and Needlez.  Nitty's musical influences are 50 Cent, Rick Ross, Big Daddy Kane, and Redman.

I'm looking forward to hearing this new project from O. Nitty.  Make sure you follow him on twitter @ONitty201, friend him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/onitty, and check out his website, www.armrecords.com.

TRUEBLOOD: SEASON FOUR, EPISODE SIX RECAP!

Well, we are at the halfway point of the season and it looks like this has the potential to be the best season EVER!  This last episode was very reminiscent of the impact episode two had.  It was non-stop action and it looks like the second half of the season will be very interesting.

Bill finally finds Eric after Pam tells him about his whereabouts.  I never thought that Pam would sell Eric out, but the way her face is peeling by the second, she isn't quite herself anymore.  Eric's memory is still completely wiped out besides recent events, and he would have killed Bill if Sookie had not stopped him.  Sookie has fell for this new, loving and caring Eric who is very similar to Godric.  Bill asks Nan Flanigan for a warrant to give Eric the "truth death" because he is a risk.  When given the warrant, Bill recognizes how different Eric truly is and he frees him.

After Tommy killed his parents he was very distraught.  Luna mentioned in an earlier episode that if a shifter kills their mother, there is a possibility that they can "shift" into other humans.  Tommy, who had no idea about this ability, was able to turn into Sam.  Tommy being Tommy uses this ability to no good.  After being shifted back to himself, he became very sick and he is found by Sam later in the evening looking lifeless.  We'll see what happens from there.

Marnie is back at it as well.  Trapped in the basement of Bill's home, she once again calls on the spirit of Antonia.  We now see why Antonia is so angry with vampires, as they tortured her to death.  Antonia now takes over Marnie's voice and body. After putting a spell on one of the sheriffs, she looks like she will be able to escape.





We finally realize that Jason won't be able to become a were-panther.  This part of the show was dragging on for too long, so I'm glad they cleared it up.  Since he drank Jessica's blood, they have become a lot closer and seem to like each other.  I see Jason and Hoyt having issues in the near future because of it. I can't wait until next week!
