Life Imitates Art

Though he’s making it big at the box office with Notorious, the biopic of infamous rapper Biggie Smalls, it’s not all gravy for Jamal “Gravy” Woolard. The 300-pound actor, who plays the drug-dealing, gun-toting, and philandering rapper, was charged with the misdemeanor assault and harassment of his wife, Tina Younger. It is reported that Woolard slapped Younger following an early morning altercation in September. And this isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble: Woolard shot himself in the buttocks outside Hot 97’s studio in 2006, but went ahead with his scheduled on-air interview. He’s is expected to appear in court on January 29.
