Ray J and his entourage were thrown out the Hyatt in Washington, D.C. after hotel security found drugs in the singer’s room. According to reports, Ray J and a group of friends returned to hotel room after a party Saturday night, and after being bothered with noise, other hotel guests called security. When they arrived, they reportedly found marijuana and a club drug called “Boat.”

Police arrived on the scene, but there were no arrests made. The word on the rumor mill is that Ray J tried to bribe security, but they didn’t give in, and this caused the singer to make a scene by yelling and arguing. But his publicist denied all of that with a statement:

“The altercation did not directly affect Ray J – it was people in his entourage. But he did the gentlemanly thing and left the hotel anyway.”

It was also reported that he booked a hotel room down the street down at the Holiday Inn. Hey, they had to keep the party going! Right?

#1: Why did Allure hide Jill Scott behind a bush, but left Gabrielle Union out in the field?

#2: Does Jermaine Dupri use a booster seat when he drives?

#3: Why is Madonna’s new album shitting on “Discipline” and it hasn’t even been released yet?

#4: Why is “Don’t talk to me, you know better than that!” [Jay-Z] so damn funny?

#5: Why did Wesley Snipes get 3 years in prison, and those racist ass cops who murdered a black man for no apparent reason didn’t spend one day behind bars? All Wesley did was not pay the government. Those idiots filled an un-armed person with 50 bullets! Am I the only one who feels this way?

Whitney Houston and Ray J (pictured above) attended the Hopkins vs. Calzaghe “Battle of The Planet” boxing match in Vegas Saturday night (Apr. 19th). The fight was very close and Joe Calzaghe was declared the winner by split-decision. Bernard Hopkins obviously didn’t agree with the judges’ decision:

“The world knows, the fans know, other than the Brits, know I won this fight,” Hopkins said. “Look at my face. I don’t have any bruises. I busted him up. I hit him with short right hands and I controlled the pace like a true veteran.”

Other photographed celebrities who attended the event include Jay-Z, Tom Jones, and Simon Cowell. Follow the break to check out the rest of the photos!
