THE GAME

The Death Row Records founder was recently (10May08) enjoying a night out at a Hollywood nightclub when he and his entourage got involved in a verbal altercation with an unnamed man, which resulted in Knight being knocked out cold for almost three minutes.

And now rapper The Game - real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor - wants to sign the alleged assailant to his record label after watching an amateur music video he posted on the internet.

He tells AllHipHop.com, "He's the Knockout Kid. We was looking for him, we found him, and trying to sign him.

"(Suge's) not a boxer. It's not like he's Muhammad Ali, and he's been in the game and somebody finally beats you.

"Suge, back in the day, he had it locked in Los Angeles. But now, your time comes and goes, and you have to respect the new breed, and now that's me. I got L.A. locked, and 10 years from now there will be a new dude.

"Ten years from now, when I'm 40, there's gonna be a new kid and I gotta respect that dude. Hopefully, the Knockout Kid's little brother don't hit me or something ... or step to me. I don't want no problems with the Knockout Kid."

BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL and AMY WINEHOUSE

The Rehab hitmaker wed the music industry assistant, 25, in an unannounced ceremony in Miami, Florida last May (07) - less than a month after he proposed to her.

And although the 24-year-old's father, Mitch, begged the star not to tie the knot until she returned to her native England, her mother Janis insists she wasn't upset about the rushed affair.

She tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "He's been in prison for almost as long as they've been together. It's a joke. But then so was the wedding, really.

"I wasn't upset by it because it meant nothing; nothing whatsoever... I know Mitch, Amy's father, was upset (but) I think they were in Miami and got caught up in the moment, and that was it. It was more like a picnic in the park than a wedding."

Fielder-Civil is currently being held on remand at London's Pentonville Prison, where he will remain until at least 9 June (08), on charges of perverting the course of justice, relating to a previous charge of grievous bodily harm.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Initially Elton turned (it) down because he's so busy. But when the offer crossed the GBP2 million barrier it was too much to refuse, even for someone of his means. And let's be honest, GBP2.6 million buys a hell of a lot of flowers.

"He's on the verge of saying yes."

AMY WINEHOUSE

Janis Winehouse, 53, believes her daughter's craving for "constant drama" led to her drug addiction.

But she is convinced the Rehab hitmaker will eventually overcome her problems to make a triumphant career comeback.

She tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, "I don't think she's totally lost control. She's a girl who lives on the edge; she toys with it. But she has an awareness of it, too - and that will save her in the end.

"Maybe it's because I'm her mother, but I think Amy will have a resurrection, and everyone will say: 'I thought she was going to kill herself - but here she is.'"

She says, "I am furious that they think I'm too old to play the love interest of guys like Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood. Why should I play sisters and mothers while guys like Jack and Clint (Eastwood), who are older than me, have on-screen lovers half their age?"

Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).

After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers.
