Former "Glee" star, Mark Salling committed suicide by hanging, according to law enforcement.
Salling's body was found near a riverbed in Sunland ... the area where he lived. Law enforcement say he was hanging from a tree. Police received a call to do a "welfare check" on Salling and somehow that led them to the baseball field where his body was found. We're told Salling had been dead for some time. Sources say a family member came to the LAPD station at 3 AM Tuesday to report Salling as a missing person. Homicide detectives are on scene to rule out foul play, but they say all signs point to suicide by hanging. Salling was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography involving prepubescent minors.

DMX was taken into custody in a Manhattan court Tuesday morning for failing drug tests which. a violation of his probation in his tax evasion case.
We're told the judge ruled X was a flight risk after testing positive for opiates, cocaine and oxycodone. DMX was supposed to be completing rehab while he was out on bail in his tax evasion case. He'd been given some leeway to travel for performances as of late. U.S. Attorney Spokesman Nicholas Biase says prosecutors referenced the video TMZ got of DMX last week. Something definitely seemed off as he preached in a St. Louis airport bar. Witnesses said he was drinking and buying shots for other patrons. Drinking alcohol is also a probation violation. The judge said DMX had told a "great big lie" when he agreed to his bail terms. "i Shyne," is the recent collaboration between Carnage and "Gucci Gang" rapper Lil Pump, is about as animated an electronic hip-hop crossover as it comes, and the lyric video brings the high-energy time to life in vivid shades, which is especially fun during Pump's second verse. The track is the second single from Carnage's forthcoming LP, Battered Bruised & Bloody, slated for release via Heavyweight Records on March 2. Pink just released her "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" video fresh off her emotional Grammy performance on Sunday. The song is featured on the pop star's latest album, Beautiful Trauma; however, it was originally written for the film, Suffragette. Though the song didn't make it onto the film's soundtrack, Pink explained the meaning behind it in her Apple Music documentary, On the Record: “The movie is about the suffragette movement, which is women’s right to vote," she said. "You have to fight for what’s rightly yours which is rights and respect and love and kindness and compassion and you have to be willing to die for it. These women were.” Fabolous and Jadakiss return with another video from their 12-track Friday on Elm Street album. The duo features their sons to star in the "Soul Food" music video, which was released late Sunday night. The Gerard Victor-directed video documents Fab and Jada's relationship with their kin during different stages of life. C-Sick actually took to Twitter back in September 2015 to detail how the beat that eventually turned into "Soul Food" came together. The pair have been pushing Friday on Elm Street heavily, as they gear up to embark on a tour later in 2018. One of "The Four" judges, Charlie Walk's former employees claims he repeatedly groped her, and sent her vulgar, sexually charged text messages ultimately forcing her to quit the music biz.
Tristan Coopersmith, claims Walk who is the currently president of Republic Records -- harassed her while they worked together at Sony Music. In an open letter, Tristan wrote, "For a year I shuddered at the idea of being called into your office, where you would stealthily close the door and make lewd comments about my body and share your fantasies of having sex with me. I was 27." She says she repeatedly reminded Walk, her boss at the time, he was married with kids, but claims it had no impact. Tristan claims Walk would grab her leg under the table dinner meetings ... sometimes while his wife was sitting across from them. She detailed one alleged encounter ... "And then there was that event at your swank pad when you actually cornered me and pushed me into your bedroom and onto your bed. The bed you shared with your wife… your wife who was in the room next door. You being drunk and me being 6 inches taller was my saving grace." Tristan quit the music biz 8 years ago, and is now a psychotherapist. She posted the letter on her website. Tristan says she's forgiven Walk and hopes he can change his ways. It's unclear if the allegations will have effect on Walk's job on "The Four" ... we've reached out to FOX. A concert promoter is suing Kodak Black to get his money back after paying him to perform, but Black's legal trouble makes it hard for him to keep his end of the bargain.
Corey Minniefield filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming Kodak cashed a check for $45k even though he never bothered to show up. Corey says Kodak signed the agreement on February 28, 2017. But the same day he was arrested for violating probation. The promoter rescheduled him for a later date but he never showed again. Corey's suing to get back the money he paid Kodak. Nicholas Fitts had the same problem. He's alleging in a legal letter his lawyer fired off to Kodak's team that the rapper never performed in NY on March 3 (Kodak was in jail). The concert was rescheduled for April 15 and 29 but Kodak was still in jail for violating probation again when he hit up a strip club. Fitts says he's out at least $123k on various booking fees and wants his money back.

Logic, G-Eazy, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, 2 Chainz, T.I. and Just Blaze will also be featured in the series, which delves into the ins and outs of day-to-day life as a rap star. The series will allow fans to experience “the artists’ lives with their families and friends, to sitting front row in the studio and grinding on tour, to experiencing the ecstatic power of moving the crowd.” Directed by Sacha Jenkins (Burn, Motherf**cker, Burn) Ben Selkow, Geeta Gandbhir, Steven Caple Jr., Marcus A. Clarke and Gabriel Noble. the series is eight episodes and produced by Mass Appeal. “Way back, when hip hop culture was in its gestational phase, the powerful message therein didn’t go much further than the five boroughs of New York City. Today, rap music is the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and Netflix is the embodiment of the eyes from which she sees,” Jenkins said of the series. “It is a great honor for Mass Appeal to work with Netflix to produce our new series Rapture. We’ve been telling hip hop stories since ’96, and as natives we feel it is our duty to do the movement justice. Rapture is bangin’. Straight up.” Rapture is set to premiere on March 30 on Netflix. Girls' Generation’s Yuri started 2018 with a solo track, teaming up with the South Korean EDM producer Raiden. “Always Find You” was released Friday through SM Station, a weekly song-release project under SM Entertainment, Yuri’s label. It is the first time in five years since Yuri last released a solo song. Yuri, known prominently within Girls’ Generation as one of the group’s main dancers, and also an actor in her own right, has released a handful of songs in the past, including 2016's standout SM Station song and Pantene ad "Secret" with Seohyun. Yuri’s last solo songs came out of her role in the 2013 film No Breathing. “Always Find You” is one of the first releases from a Girls’ Generation member since last year saw members Sooyoung, Seohyun and Tiffany leave SM Entertainment. The group’s future remains unclear, though the majority of the women have their own solo careers keeping them in the spotlight.
