In court filings for his bankruptcy case, DMX says that he has no money in the bank.

DMX says that he has $50 to his name and no money in the bank, as per court filings in his bankruptcy case, according to a story on The Wall Street Journal's website. The rapper also says he has expenses that exceed his monthly income, the story says.

The court documents show DMXs estimated monthly income is $5,000 and that he has monthly expenses of $5,221, which include $1,000 on clothing and $500 on laundry and dry cleaning, as per wsj.com.

DMX says that the $1.4 million of assets in his name are tied to ongoing litigation, among other things, the story says.

The man born Earl Simmons also says under penalty of perjury that he has no personal property of any value, including no electronic equipment, no jewelry, no clothes and no cars, as per wsj.com.

The former Def Jam Recordings artist has several debts, as per the wsj.com. Among them are more than $1 million in unpaid domestic-support obligations that lead, in part, to his July filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the story says. DMX also owes unsecured creditors more than $475,000 and has a mortgage of more than $450,000 on a property in Mount Kisco, New York, according to wsj.com.

DMXs bankruptcy case is scheduled for an October 8 case conference at the White Plains, New York, bankruptcy court, according to the wsj.com.

In July, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Yonkers, New York artist filed documents in Manhattan court stating that he has $50,000 in assets, while owing between $1 and $10 million in debts. DMX told authorities at the time that he filed for Chapter 11 to enable me to reorganize my financial affairs.

DMX's debts include more than $1 million in child support and more than $20,000 in automobile lease payments.

Company Releases "Ghetto Tracker" App to Point Out Unsafe Areas


An app company stirred up some drama when it released a new app formerly titled "Ghetto Tracker," which is meant to identify unsafe areas to help people avoid them. However, after massive outrage over the app's name, the company switched the title within 24 hours, to "Good Part of Town."
The app apparently rates the level of safety within various areas, and according to The Week, the app was originally launched with a homepage showing a smiling white family of four, as the app offered to show its users, "which parts of town are safe and which ones are ghetto, or unsafe."  Along with the name change, it also shows a diverse family on the homepage to dial down the cries of racism.
How do you feel about this new "Ghetto Tracker" app?

Lamar Odom's Crack Dealer Cut Him Off


The depths of Lamar Odom's supposed difficulties with substance abuse reached such a level that his drug dealer cut him off, TMZ reports.

Sources connected with the dealer told the gossip site that Lamar's addiction became so extreme over the summer that the dealer cut the NBA star off, fearing that Odom would overdose and authorities would come after the source of his drug supply.

Another report from TMZ claims Odom paid $800 a day for his drug fixes, and sometimes up to $1,000.

According to the site, the cut-off came last week. On Wednesday, the Queens-born athlete checked into a rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addiction, but left the center just one day later.

The short time in the facility seems to have done Odom good. A witness told E! News that Odom looked cheerful and "upbeat" on Friday while dining at Japanese eatery Octopus.

The insider said that the 33-year-old baller sported his wedding ring as he supped on miso soup and tea, and was "very nice and polite" to fellow diners.

Wife Khloe Kardashian did not accompany him to the restaurant. On Friday night, the reality star posted a selfie to Instagram with the cryptic caption "White Noise." Kardashian is reportedly struggling as her husband battles his demons.

"She is just exhausted," a source told Us Weekly. "She doesn't think he went to rehab…I don't think anyone knows where he is at this point."


British Woman Gets Hospitalized for Migraines, Wakes Up with Chinese Accent


Sarah Colwill, a 38-year-old woman from the United Kingdom, was rushed to a hospital after suffering from a severe migraine. However, when she woke up, her local Plymouth accent had disappeared, leaving her sounding Chinese. She was diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome, a rare condition with no clear cause.


"It's just been such a horrible thing to go through," Colwill says teary-eyed in the opening scenes of the documentary. "You don't even know who you are anymore...It's like you're trapped inside yourself." 

Certain scenarios explored in the documentary make the condition seem near comical: Colwill's asked to say "chopsticks" by her speech therapist, the pressure she receives to order fried-rice at a restaurant and the necessity of avoiding certain phrases.
