 Entertainer Wyclef Jean may have gone too far when, live on MTV, he invited "everybody" to his Saddle River, NJ, home for a New Year's bash. According to the NY Post, after the singer performed on the telecast, he arrived home around 1 a.m. to find more than 500 people partying at his mansion. "There were hundreds and hundreds of cars parked all over," said one partygoer. "They had tents set up outside, but people were wandering around in his house, in the movie theater, in the kitchen." Wyclef had a poker table set up along with a Haitian food spread. "The cops came around 3 a.m. to break it up, it got so crazy," said a source.

 R&B recording artist R. Kelly, currently in the middle of a nationwide concert tour, missed a scheduled court appearance in Chicago today because of bad weather and a delay involving his tour bus.
Kelly's bus, which was taking him from California back to Chicago, was diverted and delayed by bad weather, and then was stopped early today by police in Utah who insisted that the driver take a mandatory eight-hour rest stop before going any further. As a result, Kelly was unable to make a scheduled court appearance in Chicago.
The appearance has been rescheduled and Kelly will be in court tomorrow morning.
Contrary to some reports, no arrest warrant for Kelly was ever issued. The judge said that if Kelly did not appear in court tomorrow, he would issue a warrant.
Damn! Will it ever be safe to let our little girls back out on the street? I'm just askin'.
