In the comments for Gawker's post about a party attended by the party animal and Iranian-born economist Nouriel Roubini, someone posted this:

I was at this party. It was ok. I asked Nouriel which of the Ten Crack Commandments was his favorite - without missing a beat, he said, "Never sell no crack where you rest at."

This is the rumor: Sabzi, the local producer behind two popular hiphop acts, Blue Scholars and Common Market, is leaving Seattle tonight. Where is he heading? The way of Reggie Watts: NYC.

Update: It's confirmed. Sabzi moved to the planet of Brooklyn.

Rumors are flitting around the Twittersphere that Seattle hiphop mainstays the Saturday Knights have broken up. We're trying to confirm this. (Larry Mizell Jr., white courtesy telephone.) Stay tuned.

Blam.

A woman from Fort Bend County, Texas is suing Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, for alleging shooting her with a pellet gun as she sought at autograph after a concert with Redman at the House of Blues in Houston.

Method Man, born Clifford Smith, is accused of shooting a pellet gun at Mary Anderson from the window of his tour bus, as she sought an autograph.

In the lawsuit which was filed on Thursday (July 30) in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, Anderson claims she was struck at least six times in the chest and torso area and required medical attention after the incident.

Just a bit ago there was a scuffle at 10th and Pike that got scary. I was there. I saw a small group of guys fighting violently, though not well. I think there was a girl involved, I'm not sure. When I walked up there were people I know leaving. I had a look.

There was a dude in the street circling around another guy, both ethnicities unknown. The dude had a shaved head and a white T-shirt. They threw punches, but nothing stuck.

Someone else fell down. I saw someone pull something out, I'm not sure what. Then I heard what I thought at first were firecrackers. I looked back and noticed everyone was running, ducking, or both. I really don't think it was fireworks.

A girl screamed. Someone else yelled to "not let them go!"

Another guy was yelling, "That's it!? That's it!?"

A car came up. The dude jumped in the back as quickly as he could—the people in the back had to move over first, but not before the other fighter noticed.

The car peeled out while the fighter, who was very upset, chased after it as it turned left on Pike, heading South. A girl tried to restrain him. He relented to her pleas. I left.

A block down I found my ride. She was parked around the corner from the action. By the time we were at her car we saw three patrol cars at the intersection. She gave me a ride home down Broadway. On the ride back to my place we passed a few other cops. Their disco lights were blazing. Those police had pulled over several people but we couldn't definitely spot the car with the fighter or the runner or anyone else who was involved.

That's what I saw in about 15 minutes. I'm not saying it was a full-on shoot-out, but it's much closer than I thought I'd be in on a Monday night off.

To see those pics of Rihanna that everyone on is blogging about, go here. NSFW.

Nor are these images safe for work.

If it is safe for you to look at the images of Rihanna (or supposedly Rihanna) and Adrienne Bailon of the Cheetah Girls, two things can be compared: the rumps of the singers and their hotel rooms. In the first case, Adrienne's is more plump; in the second case, Rihanna's is more posh.

Pelican is currently in Seattle, WA recording an EP that will be their first release on Southern Lord. The new material promises to be heavier, darker and very "riff-oriented" comments guitarist Trevor de Brauw. A very special guest guitarist who has been heavily influential to the band will be making a guest appearance...

Hmm.
