If you're wondering whether you saw this on Entourage, then yes, yes you did. But when a rapper gets shot in real life for a stab (hah!) at notoriety, at least you won't have to deal with Ari Gold's temper tantrum in the next scene. Fabolous ("That's F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S"), known to his mother as John Jackson, was shot early this morning in a parking garage after dining at Diddy's restaurant Justin's. An "unidentified man" approached the rapper and three members of his entourage (hah!), opened fire (shooting Fabolous in the leg), and fled. Fab and his boys hopped into their Dodge Magnum, sped off, ran a red light, and attracted the attention of the NYPD.

Normally sympathetic to black men bleeding from gunshot wounds, the officers were instead more interested in the two loaded (and unlicensed) guns found in the car. They arrested the foursome — foiling Fab's fullproof plan to get shot, make headlines, and sell albums. An arrest on gun charges? That's only good for moving, like, 10,000 units. But the worst part? The shooting and subsequent arrest didn't make it in time for deadlines at the News or the Post.
