Another Hollywood Executive Gunned Down Off Wilshire Boulevard

It's Amazing How The Targets Of These Crimes Are Hollywood People (Sarcasm)

Gabriel Ben Meir

30-year-old, Gabriel Ben Meir, was gunned down, off Wilshire Boulevard on Mothers Day, while going home to his upscale apartment building in Los Angeles, California. Ben Meir exited his black BMW and was shot in the back of the head execution style. Robbery is not believed to be the motive. A silencer may have been employed in the hit, as no one heard the gun shots. His body was discovered on the sidewalk five hours later by a dog walker.

Meir was a music executive on the MTV television series "Punk'd" starring Kabbalah member, Ashton Kutcher. His dad Nick Ben Meir, is a music money manager and his sister, Alexis Ben Meir, a music manager. The Wilshire corridor is the same pricey place famous Sony publicist, Ronni Chasen, was driving home along, in a black Mercedes, when she was killed execution style as well.

Ronni Chasen was killed execution style 5 months ago, in a planned hit. No valuables were taken during the killing.

The main suspect in the case, bragged to a neighbor he was going to be paid $10,000 for the hit on Roni Chasen. However, he killed himself when police closed in on him. Chasen was under surveillance by a private investigator at the time of her death and we all know how Hollywood loves to hire PIs to break the law and hire thugs to inflict grievous bodily injury on people. The authorities can continue to bury their heads in the sand on these incidents, but someone is clearly killing off Hollywood industry members.

FBI Releases Tupac File Showing Death Threats And Extortion

Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight - the latter is mentioned in a redacted file, regarding the shooting death of an LAPD officer, who was having sex with his wife Sharitha

The FBI has released portions of its file on the late rapper and Black Panther, Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in a 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Shakur was the passenger of former Death Row Records muscle CEO, Suge Knight.

The heavily redacted FBI files reveal Shakur and the late rapper Easy E, were allegedly being threatened and faced extortion attempts by the Jewish Defense League. The FBI was unable to prove the claims.

Tupac Shakur

Easy E came into contact with the Jewish Defense League, via his business partner at Ruthless Records, Terry Heller. He contacted them for assistance with Suge Knight, who stole his artist Dr. Dre by force, using fellow gang members armed with bats, pipes and chains.

For years, many have named Knight as the culprit behind Shakur's killing and that of his friend turned rival, the Notorious B.I.G. Knight was a passenger in the car on the night of Shakur's slaying, even claiming he was shot in the head and bullet fragments remain lodged in his skull, medical reports dispute that claim.

The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) and Badboy CEO Sean Combs (P. Diddy) faced constant threats from Suge Knight. Wallace was murdered shortly after in 1997 by a known associate of Knight.

Shakur was the only victim in the car, took several bullets to his head and body, while Knight walked away from the incident in perfect health. Knight owed Shakur $20,000,000 in royalty payments he kept refusing to pay and the rapper was getting ready to leave his label.

Knight had become rich in the entertainment industry, from strong-arm tactics and financial theft, even bragging on MTV News that Death Row Records had become a billion dollar company. Shortly after, the IRS moved in on him for tax evasion and the police arrested him in a separate indictment for probation violation. Knight also lost everything in a few short years, including his homes.

Justin Bieber And Rebecca Black Up For Gongs At MTV Internet Award Show

Justin Bieber

MTV, the network that has the worlds "Music Television" in its title, yet really doesn't play much of it any more, is launching the O Music Awards show. The ceremony will honor internet based artists and "digital music."

Teen stars, Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black are up for awards. Nutty 25-year-old singer, Lady Gaga has received nominations as well, being an artist that started her career on MySpace.com. Ironically, MySpace is sinking faster than Kirstie Alley on "Dancing With The Stars" this week. But back to the article.

Rebecca Black

Finally, Rebecca Black will get to meet Justin Bieber, who she has a crush on and he will dump Selena Gomez for her and they will run off into the sunset (Ok, you know that's what she's thinking, because she totally paid me to write that - joking).

While Black's song has reportedly irritated many, had the chorus been done differently, that would not have happened (it's the way the word "Friday" is sung). However, what I like about her is that she has inadvertently thumbed her nose at Hollywood and the status quo and achieved a hit single and fame without them.

Robert Pattinson

In an interview with MTV last week, Pattinson stated of Bieber, "I’ve never met this guy. I saw that as well. I was like, ‘You’re really famous man — what are you doing?’ You don’t need to use me to make up stories!”

MTV Is Looking To Hire Its First Twitter Jockey

Remember the MTV VJ? That’s so two decades ago. Now the network is looking to hire its first TJ, or Twitter Jockey.

MTV officials say the search is on for a new social media maven who will engage with the MTV audience and serve as a liaison between viewers and network honchos.

MTV General Manager Stephen Friedman called the TJ position "a natural evolution of how we connect with our audience."

The network has identified 18 potential candidates and is asking its audience to find two more. The 20 hopefuls will compete in a series of online challenges this summer designed to reveal their personalities and demonstrate how they connect with Twitter followers.

Five finalists will ultimately compete on a live show on Aug. 8, when fans will pick who gets the new job.

"The hope is that this person will be dynamic, engaging and energised, an enthusiast within the social media world," said Dave Sirulnik, the executive overseeing the contest. "Somebody who will represent the audience by taking their thoughts and questions and … through an ongoing dialogue with them, be able to bring those questions inside the walls here to the people who make MTV."

The new Twitter Jockey will report on MTV events, such as the Video Music Awards in September, and appear on-air periodically.

"While they won’t be on TV the way VJs were," Sirulnik said, "they will always be on."
Insight MTV executives gain through the new online representative’s interaction with fans could influence programming and network decisions, Friedman said.

"Twitter and Facebook enable us to make smarter decisions," he said. "This will benefit us hopefully as much as it benefits the audience."

Viewers can nominate themselves or their favorite Facebook friends for the position online beginning Monday. The MTV TJ will be based in New York and earn a six-figure salary.(PTI)
