We're FINALLY getting some news regarding what exactly happened to Lil' Wayne last night that led to his hospitalization!

And while it appears that reports of his being in critical condition and being read his late rites seem to be grossly exaggerated, the rapper certainly caused enough of an alarm to have multiple members of his friends and family by his side throughout the scary evening…including his protege, Drake, who was spotted leaving Cedars-Sinai Medical Center around 9pm!

Ch-ch-check out a photo of him (below)!

So what's going down?

Why would anyone EVER do this?!?

Last week, a 42-year-old woman named Merry Jane Clift who was high off of cough syrup, stabbed her poor pooch Huckleberry multiple times in the face with a 10-inch kitchen blade for no dang reason at all.

The unfortunate incident went down at Clift's apartment in Glendale, and right after she hurt her dog, she started BANGING on her neighbor's doors asking them to kill her.

This song has been out for some time now, but we just heard it and thought we'd share!

It's not what we usually listen to, but we LOVE it!

If radio were like it was in the '90s, where they play GOOD songs and LOTS of variety, this would be a huge radio hit!

Check out the awesome Cough Syrup by Young The Giant (above)!

We hope radio comes back to playing more than just the 10 songs over and over!

Support lots of artists! Not just the big ones!!!

That headline sounds odd all-around, but it's completely true, proving you're never too old to become a criminal!

Lucita Uy, a 70-year-old woman from Los Angeles County, and her 42-year-old son have been arrested for a narcotics scheme we never would have imagined in our wildest dreams.

According to authorities, the mother-son duo bought 3 pharmacies so they could purchase a powerful cough syrup called promethazine, which they sent from California to Houston, Texas.

What cost them just $9 a bottle was then concocted as a street drug called "purple drank" or "the lean" and sold for up to $600 a bottle in Houston!

To give you an idea of how much mula the family business was raking in, they bought more than 97,000 pints of this stuff, which could have potentially been worth $58 million!

The cough syrup criminals were indicted on two counts of conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to structure cash transactions to evade federal reporting requirements.

Christopher Lamont Crawford and Kendra Patrice Manigault, co-conspirators living Houston, were also arrested.

It was hard enough for our parents to convince us to take a swig of cough syrup when we were kids, we can't imagine shelling out $600 to drink it now!

In her upcoming memoir, Happy Accidents, Jane Lynch shares the details on her journey to a happier, healthier, and sober lifestyle with wife Lara Embry.

Although the Glee star initially kicked booze in 1991 at 31, she describes a dependance on NyQuil cough syrup, writing:

“I did, however, continue my habit of taking NyQuil before bed. Though no longer drinking Miller Lite, I was still in need of something to soothe me. The fact that NyQuil had alcohol in it was not something I acknowledged at all. I still considered myself on the wagon.”

Her addiction grew more severe when she moved to New York City to play Carol Brady on stage in The Real Live Brady Bunch, continuing:

“[The show] ran for 10 months at the Village Gate, and I was miserable the whole time. I’d close the drapes of my tiny room, take a swig of NyQuil, toast with a simple ‘Bye-bye,’ and go into a deep sleep.”

Ultimately, Jane's time on the show finally opened up her eyes enough to see her problem. After getting way too high with her castmates, she entered Alcoholics Anonymous for support. She wrote about the life-chaning moment, saying:

"I smoked myself into oblivion that night. I still felt like crap and even lonelier than I had felt before.”

So sad to hear that Jane had to go through this, but the fact that she was able to find enough strength to ask for help only makes us respect her more! She is such an inspiration!
