Emmis Communications President/Programming Rick Cummings has been given an extension on his deal with the company. In an 8K filing, Emmis issued the following statement, "On March 2, 2010, we entered into a new one-year employment agreement with Richard F. Cummings to serve as President of Emmis Radio Programming, effective March 1, 2010. Mr. Cummings' employment agreement will automatically renew each year following the initial one-year term for additional one-year terms."

After numerous delays, Lil Wayne was finally sentenced today for weapons charges stemming from a 2007 incident in New York. The rapper was originally set to be sentenced last month, but his attorney requested a delay so he could undergo eight root canals. Then, when it looked like Wayne would surely go to jail last Tuesday, a fire broke out at the Manhattan Criminal Court Building, the building was evacuated and all appearances were postponed. The next day, Weezy's court date was once again rescheduled for March 8.
This afternoon, dressed in black jeans, a black shirt and a gray jacket, Wayne appeared before Judge
Charles H. Solomon, who sentenced the rapper to a year in prison for attempted gun possession. After Solomon reminded Wayne of his charges, the rapper firmly nodded that he understood. Police then handcuffed Wayne and he stood up to be taken away, according to MTV News. The rapper had already reached a deal with prosecutors in November to plead out to a lesser charge, and in return, he is expected to be released from prison as early as October.
Before going to jail, Wayne spent his unexpected free time partying in New York City, traveling back to his Miami home, and recording. As previously reported, he performed with
Jay-Z at Madison Square Garden last week, and he also filmed a slew of music videos to keep him in the public eye while he is behind bars. In a video sent to MTV News, Weezy said he filmed seven videos in one night including footage for Young Money artist Shanell, Diddy, Travie McCoy from Gym Class Heroes, Rick Ross, Drake
and himself. The Drake video is for "Afrika Boombata" and the McCoy video is called "Tattoo Girl."

Lady Gaga has confirmed that she will be heading out on her biggest tour ever this summer, headlining arenas in North America starting in June. According to Live Nation, Lady Gaga returns to North America in June for a 30-city arena tour, with dates to be announced soon. Also Gaga's highly-anticipated new video for "Telephone" will debut tomorrow night (3/9) on E! at 11:30 p.m. The video includes an appearance from Beyoncé, who duets with Gaga on the Fame Monster track. MTV News reports the full video runs almost 10 minutes long and was shot last month by director Jonas Akerlund.

Christina Milian and The-Dream welcomed a daughter into the world last week, which is their first child together. Baby Violet, whose mom and dad tied the knot in September, was born on Friday, according to E! News. This is the first child for Milian, 28, and the fourth for The-Dream, who has three with his ex-wife Nivea.

Maxwell and Jill Scott have announced the itinerary for their upcoming, co-headlining arena tour. The trek starts in Cleveland on May 21 and winds up June 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Scott will release her new album, The Light Of The Sun, this summer.
