Nelly Offers Cash Reward For Burglary Arrest
Rapper Nelly has offered up a $10,000 (£6,250) reward for information leading to the arrest of the assailant who broke into his Missouri home earlier this month (Dec09).
Police were called to the Dilemma hitmaker's St. Louis mansion in the early hours of 11 December (09) after a man was spotted "fleeing" from the residence by a female staying at the house.
Sniffer dogs and a helicopter unit patrolled the area around the property but no one was caught.
Nelly, who was not present at the time of the incident, reported a number of electronics and other items missing, and he's now appealing to locals for help in identifying the male, thought to be in his 20s or 30s.
Anyone with information about the burglary has been urged to contact the police.
West Serves Lunch To Homeless
Kanye West showed off his charitable side by taking time out to serve a holiday lunch for homeless people on Saturday (26Dec09).
The Stronger rapper and his model girlfriend Amber Rose turned up at The Los Angeles Mission, where they volunteered in the kitchen and donned aprons to dish out hot meals to those in need.
He says, "It's just important (to give back) when you're very blessed. (It's nice) to spread your blessings and take time out, especially during the holidays to appreciate people who never get that appreciation. It makes me feel really good to come out here and I just thank y'all for allowing us to be apart of this."
The Los Angeles Mission is located in the downtown Skid Row district, which contains one of the largest populations of homeless people in the U.S.
