The rapper remained in custody in London while RockCorps — the nonprofit for whom Rhymes was to perform ­— took legal steps to try to reverse the decision. Rhymes has been allowed into Britain twice this year. Ludacris said he'll perform in Rhymes' place in London.

MAGIC
NOW, ONLY HIS HEAD IS HANGING
Magician David Blaine is unhappy with how he ended his latest stunt: hanging upside-down without a net high over Central Park for 60 hours. Blaine said his grand finale of diving from a platform 44 feet to the ground while attached to a harness didn't go according to plan. He was supposed to jump and, at 10 feet, be swept away by a bunch of helium-filled balloons. Instead, he dangled awkwardly for a moment before disappearing in an ascent into the night sky.
