Cassidy Arrested In New Jersey, Suspected Of Murder

Philadelphia rapper Cassidy has reportedly been arrested by New Jersey cops Saturday (May 14) while traveling in the Garden State on an arrest warrant.

The Philadelphia Police warrant squad called the Hackensack Police Department on Saturday morning to tell officers there was an open warrant for Hackensack resident Barry Reese, also known as the rapper Cassidy, Hackensack police Lt. Timothy Lloyd said.

"The warrant was for violating probation, but Reese is also a suspect in a murder and two attempted murders in Philadelphia, Lloyd said. Philadelphia police knew from a prior investigation that the rapper lived in Hackensack."

Cassidy was reportedly caught off guard when approached and arrested.

Philadelphia police told their Hackensack counterparts "to consider this person armed and dangerous," and this was a "high-risk warrant."

Officers from the Hackensack Police Emergency Response Team and the police department's juvenile bureau watched Reese's home Saturday on Reilly Court.

Reese left his house about 1:30 p.m. and was followed by police to a local convenience store, Lloyd said. An undercover ERT officer went in the store and positively identified Reese, he said. When Reese came out of the store, "the ERT units moved in and conducted a felony motor vehicle stop."

Reese "was very surprised the officers who arrested the rapper "did an outstanding job," he said. "Without the proper teamwork going on, this could have spiraled out of control quickly."

No one was injured in the arrest, Lloyd said. Reese, 28, will be brought to the Bergen County Jail Annex to await extradition to Philadelphia, Lloyd said.

The bassist had checked into the hotel on May 22 and had received no complaints during his stay. "He was a quiet and respectful guest," hotel spokesman Chris Diebel told Noisecreep.

An autopsy will be conducted tomorrow to determine the cause of death.

Gray, who was one of the primary songwriters in the band, planted the seeds of Slipknot in 1992 with drummer Shawn Crahan. After Joey Jordison took over on drums, Crahan moved to percussion, and on Oct. 31, 1995 Slipknot released their first demo 'Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat.' After replacing original vocalist Anders Colsefini with Corey Taylor, the band secured a record deal with Roadrunner and wrote their self-titled album, which was produced by Ross Robinson and released in 1999.


The news
Since then, the band has released three commercially successful albums, including 2008's 'All Hope Is Gone.'

Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Gray.

Row over Tiger Woods blow-up doll

Lawyers for Tiger Woods are reportedly trying to halt the sale of a series of sex toys which exploit the golfer's personal problems.

The toys include a 'Take Home, Blow-up Tiger Love Doll' and are for sale on the website of Pipedream Products.

Pipedream is advertising its Tiger products as being "available for a very limited time only".

The US gossip website TMZ.com has managed to obtain a copy of a lawyer's letter to Pipedream.

It is demanding that the company stops selling the products, recalls all items that have already been distributed and destroys all stock.

This isn't the first time lawyers have been called to deal with offensive products in the wake of the Tiger Woods scandal.

In February, Joslyn James, one of his extramarital girlfriends, called on her lawyers to stop the sale of sets of "mistress" golf balls in which each ball featured the face of one of his alleged lovers.

Mickey Rourke: I had sex with 14 women in 1 night

Mickey Rourke once had sex with 14 women in a night.

The 57-year-old actor claims he managed to entice multiple women into his bed during a marathon evening out in London.

Mickey – who referred to the cheating antics of Cheryl Cole’s husband Ashley Cole – told British interviewer Lizzie Cundy, “Forget Ashley Cole, his behaviour has nothing on a film star. Soccer players’ wives and girlfriends get an easy time – they should try living with Hollywood hell raisers.

“I once spent a weekend in the UK and had 14 women in one night.”

Ashley was recently dumped by his pop star wife following allegations he cheated on her with several different women.

Mickey, who is a regular on the London clubbing scene, was not specific about when the lovemaking marathon happened, but added: “If you wives and girlfriends knew what Hollywood’s stars get up to you’d think you were married to pussycats.”

The ‘Wrestler’ star, who is currently dating 24-year-old Russian model Anastassija Makarenko, was seen partying in the British capital last September and was linked to a string of different women.

However, he has since settled down and has described Anastassija as a “gift from heaven”.

Earlier this year, he said: “Obviously she’s a very beautiful woman. She’s a gift from heaven. But she’s got the biggest heart, she’s got a great family, she’s really close to her mother and father – they’re great people.

“I wouldn’t trade her in for 20 Academy Awards.”
