DMX decided to be proactive in his battle with addiction and checked himself back in rehab. Sources close to DMX says one of X's kids are very sick and in and out of the hospital, and the stress of that coupled with the pressure of performing again made him feel tempted to use. Sources say he knows a relapse could jeopardize his freedom, and wants to stay out of jail so he can support his family and friends. DMX is on probation and gets tested randomly for drugs and alcohol. DMX canceled a couple of shows this weekend after announcing he checked himself into a rehab facility, and was putting his family and his sobriety first. He was released from prison in January after serving time for tax evasion.

Columbia Records has announced that Tyga has signed a multi-million dollar deal with the label. Columbia, which didn't provide a specific amount for the deal, made the announcement on Tuesday (Oct. 15). Tyga now joins a roster that includes acts like Lil Nas X, Polo G and countless more.
The multi-million dollar deal isn't the rapper's first time being signed to a major label. From the late 2000s to 2015, Tyga was a member of the Young Money and Cash Money roster alongside rhymers like Drake and Nicki Minaj. Once he left the label after a dispute in 2015, he released music independently before the signing. Zoe Kravitz is playing Catwoman in the new Batman movie.
Multiple outlets reported Monday that Zoe had landed the role after testing out some scenes last week opposite heartthrob Robert Pattinson -- who's donning the cowl next in Matt Reeves' "The Batman" ... which is hitting theaters in 2021. The ironic thing about Zoe's casting here is that she told Nylon back in 2015 that she couldn't even get an audition for Nolan's last Batman flick, "The Dark Knight Rises," which she attributed to her race. That's not out of the clear blue sky either. Zoe said she was basically blocked from even reading for a small role in the movie, allegedly being told that somebody had said they weren't "going urban" with the last installment. Halle Berry and Eartha Kitt, both African-American, played Catwoman.
