    ‘Mob Wives’ Bar Becomes A Murder Scene

    Abdoul Cisse, 47, was found dead outside the Drunken Monkey Bar and Grill on Sunday. Police reports said that Cisse was trying to stop a fight when he was struck in the face. He fell backwards, hit his head on the pavement, and cracked his skull. The incident happened at 3:40 in the morning. Cisse was unresponsive and unconscious by the time help arrived at the scene.

    The bar, located in Staten Island, is famous for appearing on the VH1 show Mob Wives. Angela “Big Ang” Raiola, one of the show’s stars, is related to the bar’s owner. She also said that she knew Cisse.

    “He was not just a customer, but a gentle giant that I loved. I personally share my heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, and we too are feeling this loss in our drunken monkey family,” Raiola said on Twitter.

    The authorities are now looking for two suspects who fled the scene in a dark vehicle.

    Cisse was in Brooklyn at the time of the incident, as she was filming for the fifth season of her show.

    Bartender Diana Marino spent the entire morning cleaning up Cisse’s blood from the sidewalk. She said that Cisse was one of her most beloved customers. “I was upset when I realized it was him. He was a beautiful man,” she said.

    Drunken Monkey Bar and Grill is regularly featured in Mob Wives. The show is about a group of women from Staten Island who have fathers or husbands imprisoned for criminal activity connected to the Mafia.

    Another bartender said that he knew that Cisse was from Nigeria. He also said that the bar was not a typical place for fights, as they cater to a mature crowd. A Staten Island resident who lives near the bar said otherwise. “Sometimes you hear the people and the fights. It’s very loud,” the resident said.

  • Josh Brolin Checked Into Rehab For Substance Abuse

    Josh Brolin has certainly had some trouble throughout his career, and it was recently reported that he is heading to rehab. The 45-year-old actor, and son of James Brolin, has checked into rehab in northern California.

    The news of his entering rehab follows an incident in which he allegedly got into a fight in a bar, while drunk. On November 2nd, a Saturday night, he was caught on tape getting in a fight with an unknown man at O’Brien’s Irish Pub in Santa Monica, California.

    He was involved in two separate that occurred over the Halloween weekend, and has obviously been going through some troubles in his life.

    His acting career has still been active for the most part, and he is the star of the new film Oldboy, directed by Spike Lee, and adapted from the Korean film of the same name. Oldboy is set to be released on November 27 nationwide.

    Josh Brolin has been married to Diane Lane for several years, and but in February of this year, the couple announced that they were getting divorced, and have been separated since. However, the divorce has yet to be finalized, and a soruce close to the couple claims that it was a mutual decision.

    It is good to see that he is fianlly getting help, and a source close to Brolin told US Weekly that “He realized he needed help and is committed to his sobriety.”

    Josh Brolin said days after the incident that he regretted what he did, and planned to quit drinking for good. It has been a problem for him for a long time, and is likely what led to the breakup of his marriage.

    Earlier this year, in January, Brolin was arrested for public intoxication, causing him to spend four hours in a jail in Los Angeles. That, and seeveral other difficult situations involving him and Diane Lane, are likely what have led to their plans for a divorce.

    After a long history with substance abuse, Josh Brolin has finally decided to get help. He has had quite a rough year, and rehab could be the thing to finally help fixing the ailing Brolin.

  • Singer Attacked In Houston, Injured In Bar Brawl

    The singer of a hugely popular Tejano group was attacked outside a Houston bar on Monday night and suffered severe injuries to the face.

    Oscar De La Rosa of La Mafia was reportedly standing outside a gay bar when he and his driver were attacked by an unidentified man who has so far eluded police. Witnesses say De La Rosa didn’t have a chance to defend himself in the attack, and as a result he suffered several lacerations to the face, damage to his eye, and lost two teeth. The band released a statement about his condition on their Facebook page:

    “Oscar De La Rosa was assaulted around 1:30 AM this morning leaving a local bar in Houston. He is still in trauma care at Memorial Herman Hospital (sic). He has suffered severe face lacerations and possible damage to his right eye. A police report has been filed and the identity of the assailant has been confirmed, assault charges will be filed as soon he is located.”

    Several reports say that the attack was unprovoked, but band member Armando Lichtenberger said it started with an altercation inside the club which led to the man being kicked out.

    “He sucker-punched the driver, knocked him half unconscious and then he went at Oscar and started pounding on his face,” Lichtenberger said. “A sucker punch is the worst thing. He didn’t get to defend himself at all. It happened so fast.”

    The band hasn’t decided yet whether they will need to cancel or postpone any performances.
