Red Hot! Tatted Up Holly Stunts in Skin-Tight Dress (@tatteduphollyyy)
Tatted Up Holly is one of the baddest in the game. She may be known to most as 50 Cent's former girl, but she's built a rep as being one of the most sought-after chicks in the game all on her own.
She hit the streets of NYC this weekend in her signature color red and shut it down.

RZA Addresses Wu-Tang Affiliate Christ Bearer Cutting Off Penis (@rza)
This past Wednesday, April 16th Andre "Christ Bearer" Johnson of Long Beach, CA duo Northstar, cut off his penis and attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the second story balcony of his Hollywood apartment. Once found on the sidewalk at 1 a.m., he was rushed to the hospital where it was determined it wouldn't be possible to re-attach his member.
Northstar was previously signed to Wu-Tang Productions and released their debut album a little over a decade ago. XXL magazine caught up with RZA to verify his current affiliation with the Wu, and get his reaction to these unfortunate events.
"First of all, I just had seen him recently. He had got out of jail and [was] calling me," RZA said. "Christ Bearer is a part of the West Coast Killa Beez, a bunch of young guys that was signed to our company 10 years ago. Wu-Tang, we're from the East Coast. But we did invest in some young guys to try and help any hood. He was a guy from the hood that we gave a shot. I don't make music with him nowadays. But the story—what he did—is incredible. That sh*t sound mythical."
RZA also questioned Johnson's mental health, saying what happened sounds deeper than just being high:
"I feel sad for his family first and foremost; I know he has children," RZA said. "I thought he was a smarter guy than a guy who would do something crazy like that. But at the same time, he been in jail recently, he's been in trouble. Maybe he's mentally unstable. Maybe the mental health system should have took a look at him and said, 'You know what? We got to hold on to this guy for a little longer.' Because it's not any sanity; even if you high, this sh*t don't sound sane. This sounds more than high. It sound like mental problems or something that was bothering this man's mind, and he needed help. It's sad. I send my respect out to his family."
Neighbors in the building told police that Johnson was not on any "hard drugs." Do you agree with RZA that it had to be something deeper?
