Ja Rule: Hey Plaxico, Fancy Meeting You Here

Posted Mar 31st 2009 9:35AM by TMZ Staff

It must be celebrity gun day in NYC court today -- Ja Rule just strutted into court, minutes after Plaxico Burress walked in -- and both are there on weapons charges.



Ja was arrested in July '07 after cops pulled his Maybach over for expired tags and found a .40-caliber pistol inside the car.

Is Beauty Skin Deep? We're Swapping Their Bods!

Posted Aug 19th 2008 2:16PM by TMZ Staff

So Ja Rule is pummeling Kanye West in our "Who'd you rather" poll -- but is it all about the belly-to-ab ratio?

We're thinkin' West's well-known whiny-fits may have something to do with the results. So if Ja suddenly gained West's girth, could you still stomach him?

Ja Rule: I Don't Care About Gay Marriage

Posted Sep 26th 2007 4:09PM by TMZ Staff

After showing his true colors in Complex magazine by doing his best Isaiah Washington impression and rattling off homophobic comments, failed rapper Ja Rule is trying to change his tune -- sorta!

In an interview with Spinner.com, the 31-year-old says his homophobic remarks were taken out of context. Mmm hmmm! Regarding gay marriage, Ja says,"It's really not my business. I really could care less." Lovely. The father of three adds, "I have relatives that are homosexuals and, you know, they come over for Christmas, hang out." Bah humbug.

It's truly heartwarming when people realize the error of their ways.

Ja Rule, Interrupted

Posted Sep 20th 2007 5:34PM by TMZ Staff

A TMZ camera spotted footmouthed rapper Ja Rule outside of Ritual, where he orated about the Jena Six petition -- until a loudmouthed parking lot louse interrupted.


The squawker yelled at the paps to, "Get a real f**king job," which Ja thought was directed at him. Ja had a good laugh about that.

Ja Rule the New Pee Diddy

Posted Sep 19th 2007 12:40PM by TMZ Staff

The "where the hell has that guy been" rapper, Ja Rule, was clubbin' in Hollywood last night, and made his exit by going "number one" outside of Les Deux. Tres Bien!


If seeing the tiny rapper run off to go wee isn't weird enough, Ja and Brody Jenner -- yes, Brody Jenner -- traded skin slaps in the parking lot. Looks like a same-sex buddy cop movie in the works. *grimace*

GLAAD to Ja Rule -- You Da Problem, Homey!

Posted Sep 14th 2007 1:46PM by TMZ Staff

Rapper Ja Rule recently made the following asinine statement in Complex Magazine about what he thinks is really causing the downfall of society, "...lets talk about all these f***ing shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this s**t. Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid afternoon. Let's talk about s**t like that! If that's not f***ing up America, I don't know what is." Um, how 'bout gun violence, poverty and a broken health care system?!

Get GLAAD's statement, after the jump.

How do you go from being a platinum-selling rapper to being an incoherent hype man? Easy. Just have a look at Ja Rule's alleged performance at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas over the weekend. What the hell is he saying?


At least the the crowd didn't seem to mind.

Partiers Who Got Screwed

Posted Mar 1st 2007 1:43PM by TMZ Staff

On the first day of March, TMZ would like to take a moment away from Anna Nicole's body, Britney's rehab and Paris Hilton's driving, to focus on something completely different -- leap year baby celebs who got screwed out of a birthday.

Among the list of stars left out of natal celebrations; rapper Ja Rule, hunky former underwear model Antonio Sabato Jr., and toothy motivational huckster Tony Robbins. February 29 is also the birthdate of Herman Hollerith, inventor of the punchcard.

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy bir ...
