"Too Turnt Up?" asks WorldStarHipHop in the title of this video showing Busta Rhymes falling off stage at a recent hip-hop show. Yes, WorldStar, too turnt up.

Wantin' a cheeseburger real, real bad. We've all been there. I'm there right now, because I'm having falafel for lunch. Busta Rhymes was there last night, when he reportedly threw such a fit in a Miami restaurant (after his cheeseburger was served to him with ketchup on the side) that the restaurant's owner called the police.

I love Busta Rhymes on musical type of level but let's all recognize and realize that Busta Rhymes tends to give interviews where he just says different levels of words out of his mouth that go together to form the types of sentences that do not mean anything on the level of reality, okay? HuffPo has the scoop:

Prince Harry flings his pheromones at Cameron Diaz. Angelina Jolie goes without makeup. Denise Richards fondly recalls her "beautiful love story" with Charlie Sheen. Monday gossip has a manly musk.

Busta Rhymes is the gravel-voiced rapper who's these days as famous for his frequent run-ins with the NYPD as for his music.

Rapper and hip-hop mogul P Diddy's Bad Boy empire now includes a research and marketing offshoot called Blue Flame designed to help corporate marketers reach urban audiences. They're looking for ways to turn the standard brand-namedropping that's a standard feature of rap music into product placement opportunities. They point out that the P Diddy/Busta Rhymes hit, "Pass the Courvoisier" caused sales of the cognac to visibly increase. All of which begs the question: at what point has P Diddy openly sold out?

Busta Rhymes, slated for the February issue, backed out. According to the co-editor, "Busta wasn't comfortable with a writer watching him smoke pot and trying to pick up girls." MTV cameramen: fine. Writers: absolutely not.
