Limp Bizkit Singer Mistaken For Murder Suspect Robert Durst

Robert Durst made headlines this week when he was arrested in Louisiana on a first-degree murder warrant from Los Angeles for the alleged murder of his friend Susan Berman in 2000.

The news captured more attention due to the recent airing of the final episode of the HBO documentary series "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst" which appeared to include a confession from Durst while he was talking to himself and not aware his microphone was still on.

On Tuesday, the Associated Press published a story about Durst facing weapons charges in Louisiana and they reported "an arrest warrant was issued for the former Limp Bizkit frontman".

The AP recognized the error and released the following correction, "The Associated Press reported erroneously that Robert Durst is a member of a band. He is a real estate heir; Fred Durst is the former frontman of Limp Bizkit."

Durst is still a member of Limp Bizkit who is still an active band.

Kevin Hart Worried Justin Bieber Left In Tears By Roast

"There were moments where I was like, 'Justin's going to cry in the car,'" he said. "There's no way he's not going to cry." Hart said he knew this was the case by looking at his face, which was both laughing at the burns, but also crying a little inside. "I kept pointing at him like, 'You better hold it back boy!'" Hart explained, noting a knee slap that may have been covering up one lonely tear that managed to squeak through.

But, Hart did say Bieber was a good sport and did fess up to his childish ways. Apparently he's ready to grow up. And more importantly, Martha Stewart is very funny. Who knew? Read more here.

Ludacris' confident, motor-mouthed wordplay hasn't lost any luster over the years--"Six 15's candy-coated riding clean/ Everytime I pull out a new whip cause a scene," he raps on the chorus.

"Strollin' through my hood I told 'em pimpin' ain't that easy / So whatever you need lil buddy come and see me," he adds elsewhere. The beat comes courtesy of Mike Will Made It, who updates classic low-riding Southern production with pointillistic, otherworldly synth sparkles.

Drake Documentary Producers Considering Legal Action Over Denial

The production companies behind the film are reportedly considering a $15 million libel suit against the rapper. In an interview with the LA Times, co-executive producer Mark Berry explained how the film got off the ground.

He said it happened with Drake's signature on a 2009 contract that promised the rapper a $15,000 cash fee and a 15 percent profit royalty, which hardly compare to his take-home income today.

But Berry claimed that Serious Entertainment, the promoters of the concert, approached Drizzy and his label Cash Money more than once to see if he wanted to buy the footage--and he declined. Read more here.

Fans Can Now 3D-Print Their Very Own Paul McCartney

The figurine is almost the most recent rendering of Macca since it was made just last year when he was filming his "Hope for the Future" music video. While on set, McCartney has to have a full body scan to appear as a hologram. That 3D scan is now the blueprint for McCartney's latest figurine.

"One of the technologies we've been excited by in recent years is 3D printing, named by some as the 'Third Industrial Revolution'," says a press statement on the figurine. "The thinking here is that in the coming years we will all begin to see 3D printed objects appearing in our daily lives creating items such as machine parts, bone and limb replacements, clothing and even food. It is no overstatement to say the possibilities are pretty much endless!" Read more here.

Khalifa was summoned to a game of Catchphrase along with Miles Teller and Jim Persons, and played surprisingly well, until he couldn't name Swift's hit.

When Teller leads with, "It's a Taylor Swift song," Wiz's jaw completely dropped. The Whiplash star fed him cues like "The last word's not on but�" but Wiz, who guessed off, still couldn't figure it out.

Madonna Animated For 'Confessions on a Dancefloor'

In 2005, Madonna was coming off of her political state-of-the-world album American Life. She was looking inward on the follow-up but also feeling her club music roots. That album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, had a big late '70s/early '80s feel to it and the first single, "Hung Up," even sampled ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)."

"People don't usually think of dance music as having substance," Madonna mused. "Dance music is not usually about anything. I like the idea of revealing things about myself. The best songs do reveal certain aspects of whoever wrote that song and I like the idea of doing that with dance music, and putting those two [things] together."

These days, Madonna has been revealing a bit more about herself in interviews (including one where she shared her feelings on the Catholic Church and another where she shared her thoughts on feminism). She's, of course, been promoting her latest album, Rebel Heart.
