DMX gets a week behind bars

DMX has been slapped with a seven-day sentence by a New York City judge, who has branded the troubled hip-hop star "a violation waiting to happen".

On Tuesday, DMX, real name Earl Simmons, pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended licence in the Bronx in April after his sport utility vehicle struck a car that in turn hit a police car. He was also fined $500 (€424).
