Celebrity Justice
R&B Star Stung in Stingray

R&B bigshot Lyfe Jennings just got nabbed by Georgia police for allegedly shooting off a gun, taking cops on a chase in a Corvette, and refusing to take a DUI test.

Smyrna, Ga. police tell us they were responding to a gunshots fired call when they spotted Jennings' Vette hightailing it away from the scene. A chase ensued and Jennings eventually crashed. He was charged with felony weapon possession by a convicted felon and he faces charges of attempting to elude, as well as discharging a firearm near a public highway and refusing to take the sobriety test.

Lyfe -- real name Chester -- was in prison from 1992-2002 after being convicted of arson.

17. Ignor the trash. Don't give them the attention they so desparately need. Don't get caught up, then they have control. IGNOR IDIOTS, THEY ARE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR ENERGY.

18. Dam # 4 you must be a coward. You couldnt even leave your name!!! I bet you text people when you get angry. A lot of punks do because they are to afraid to verbally speak their mine to a person. My guess is your gender is a male but you're not a man. I bet you sit down to take a piss!!!

19. Yes, Mr. Jennings (Lyfe) was wrong in his actions. But might I ask..if anyone of you are without faults please cast the first stone. This is indeed a senseless act on his part. I only pray that this causes him to think of his actions, now and in the future; his life, his career and his family. In spite of this, he's a good person; perhaps wiser than his years but nonetheless a good person. Let’s not rally to his demise, less it be you. Remember that we ALL are in need of forgiveness. It’s Mr. Jennings today but could very well be you tomorrow. Here's to LYFE!!!

FAN TO LYFE…FOR LIFE!!!

22. I can't believe TMZ would allow this nonsense to be published on their website. This is clearly my first and last vist to this site.

23. People when will racism EVER end?????? why cant we all just live in peace and be as one rather then divide ourselves into color catagories. For every person black or white that made a negative remark about each others color I will pray for you. All humans have faults that is why Jesus Christ died for US not just one race or religion bur for ALL of GODS children. If we took the time to learn more about each other rather then stereo typing one another because of our skin color WE as a people might find out WE really like each other. On that note Lyfe made a mistake but he will be forgiven by God and he will pay fines for his wrong doing with the justice system... As far as Barack Obama being anything less then a man standing up for ALL people rights well lets just say he will indeed be the next president, remember PEOPLE LIE....NUMBERS DONT so when you see him in the lead BELIEVE IT.....GOD BLESS

24. This is sad Lyfe is a cool dude especially with all of the work he does in his community and countless PSA 's
as for all the people on this site saying racist stuff I thought tmz was a celebrity gossip forum
not a klan rally
oh well
I guess this is a new direction for this site
hope it works out for you
hey biggots need a place to feel comfortable too
I guess tmz is a welcoming home
it really must burn to know your president is going to be black lol
I hope all the hate on this site continues you need somewhere to let it out considering you just don't matter anymore

25. It's sad to see the degree of ignore you white people still possess. Learn your origins and you'll realize that you came from blacks. Show your parents some respect.

27. First off, Lyfe is a talented musician and I pray that he'll make it through this. Nobody knows the circumstances for his actions so nobody should judge him or throw race into the picture. As far as I see it, it's just another man who lost his way and got caught up in stuff.
Secondly, just because Obama is black doesn't make him less qualified to run this country. We let the son of a former President run this country for the last 8 YEARS and we've seen innocent lifes destroyed within the first year in office and fighting an endless war for his own personal reasons. I support the troops, just not the reason. I suppose that is what happens when you let ignorant people run this country and not have a clue to what the American people need. I'd like to have a President in office who knows how to form 2 sentences lol. I'm sorry but I'd rather take my chances with an "inexperienced" black man over another 4 years of BUSH s**t.

28. To hehehe

It wasn't a joke. You just feel despicable because you got called out. If it was anyway, why are you still commenting on Obama when these comments are supposed to be in reference to Lyfe's car accident? Since you want to take it to that point though, what was George Bush then? Anybody can do a better job than he did. America is not supposed to be built on these types of principles that you are displaying along with your other simple minded, no life having, racist friends....but hey the world can't be perfect I guess. There has to be groups of low lives in order for there to be a group classified as the upper echelon....WE KNOW WHERE YOU STAND....GET A LIFE.

29. Why is everything about color? Why can't some people be just ignorant....like some of the comments I have read. I use to watch and read TMZ but if these are the kind of people they are attracting this will be my last. Just for the record a geneaology research could show that you might have the black, monkey or whatever blood you are calling it. And you know the rule 3% and YOU ARE BLACK..........
