Chris Brown’s Private Jet Filled With Smoke, Makes Emergency Landing

Chris Brown’s private jet went down in smoke, but in an emergency landing. According to TMZ, eight minutes into Brown’s flight from Burbank, Calif. to Teterboro, NJ the plane began to be filled with smoke.

Brown was on his way to the MET Gala in New York City but the delay caused him to miss the event. Luckily, Brown was able to catch another flight to New York City in time to attend the ”PUNK: Chaos To Couture” after-party.

Brown is not out of hot water just yet as his Hollywood Hills neighbors recently filed a complaint with Councilman Tom LaBonge regarding Brown’s graffiti in the area. After the councilman received the complaints he contacted the Department of Building and Safety which ordered Brown to remove the graffiti or face a fine. Neighbors have also complained about Brown’s loud parties and speeding cars in the past.

Ja Rule Released From Prison

As reported back in February, Ja Rule was released from a New York state penitentiary after serving most of a two year sentence on a gun charge.

After being released on the gun charge, Ja was taken right back into custody where he would be serving out another sentence in the federal penitentiary for a tax evasion charge. Now today, Ja Rule has been released from the federal penitentiary.

According to TMZ, Ja Rule was released from the Ray Brook Federal Prison (Metropolitan Detention Center ) in New York this morning after serving a sentence for a tax evasion charge.

In March it was reported that Ja Rule was given an expected prison release date of July 28th, but he was released earlier than expected.

Although free from prison, Ja will remain on home confinement until July 28th, and is still facing an additional year of supervised release
