DMX Arrest Warrant Is a Mix-Up Thought I Was Cleared to Party
DMX has a perfectly good explanation for missing his latest court date -- he thought it was changed so he could party in Vegas.
An arrest warrant was issued for DMX after he missed a court hearing on Monday to address child support issues with his ex-wife Tashera Simmons and their 4 kids.
A rep for DMX tells us they believed they got the court date changed in advance because they had an event booked. X performed "DMX-Mas" in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
In October, the same NY judge let him out of jail so he could perform and make money for child support. Sources in the court tell us the judge now thinks he was too lenient with the rapper.
We're told X’s attorney is contacting the court to work out the details, and they believe the warrant will be lifted.

K-Fed Lands Steady Job ... IN A STRIP CLUB!
Kevin Federline better start practicing those magic words -- "Coming to the stage" ... because he's got a new DJ gig at the Crazy Horse III Gentlemen's Club.
We've learned K-Fed's under contract with the famed Vegas strip joint to spin 4-6 times a year, and take home up to $10k per show. Britney Spears' ex has been spending quality time at the club -- DJing from time to time, and also for his fantasy football draft.
It's unclear if the deal gives him unlimited access to the menu. The jalapeño poppers and garden burgers are what really pull customers back to CH3. Kidding ... it's the boobs.
And maybe K-Fed. But mostly boobs.

Fetty Wap Makes it Rain ... Bar Mitzvah Style!
Nothing says a Jewish boy's becoming a man like a Fetty Wap performance at his Bar Mitzvah, and a wad full of benjis.
The owners of Baron Tequila, a Kosher tequila brand, paid Fetty $50k to rock the house at Illagio in Queens for their son, David. Fetty, who showed up on crutches -- still recovering from his motorcycle wreck -- rocked the house and gave $1,000 in hundred dollar bills to David so he could "make it rain."
This is Fetty's 2nd successful collabo with the tribe ... he and Lil Dicky made a hilarious video called "$ave Dat Money" which has already racked up more than 20 million views.
As for how dope this party was -- there were arcade games, a mechanical bull, and sushi made of candy wrapped in fruit roll-ups!
Check out the video where this 13-year-old boy (now a man) sported a hat bigger than his head in honor of Fetty.
Is there a yarmulke in Fetty's future?
Mazel tov, Fetty!

Some are taking their beef to the Better Business Bureau. We reached out to C&S, but like the pissed off customers ... haven't heard anything back.
Kris Jenner announced Monday morning the kits have been restocked, and encouraged fans to order quickly -- which doesn't necessarily mean you'll get it quickly.
