The names of R&B music star Mary J. Blige, along with rap artists 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry, have emerged in an Albany-based investigation of steroids trafficking that has already rocked the professional sports world, according to confidential sources.

Information has surfaced recently showing those stars are among tens of thousands of people who may have used or received prescribed shipments of steroids and injectable human growth hormone in recent years.

Law enforcement officials have said they have no evidence in their sprawling multistate probe that customers, including Blige or other entertainers, violated any laws. Instead, they are targeting anti-aging clinics, doctors and pharmacists who prescribed the drugs.

It is amazing to see the revolution of indie music making it to the top! Feist is 1, 2, 3, 4 on the top ten digital download list and she has 2 songs featured in television advertisements, one being the new iPod Nano, both currently in rotation. Her video in the iPod Nano commercial couldn't be hurting MP3 sales!! The indies really took over that industry this year.

I pray Feist continues to climb the charts and knocks Kanye out of the number 3 spot!!!

Rise UP Indies!!!
