Yarn-Headed Shooter: Rapper Remy Ma surrendered to police over the weekend after she allegedly shot a pal in the Meatpacking District during a spat over $2,000, law enforcement sources said. "Please don't let me die!" Makeda Barnes-Joseph screamed as she lay bleeding on the ground next to her car in the trendy neighborhood. Before she was taken off in an ambulance, she identified her attacker as Remy Ma -- best known as the former leading lady of rapper Fat Joe's Terror Squad, police sources said. Now my street cred may be negligible at best, but shouldn't Barnes-Joseph now be killed (the rest of the way) for snitching on Remy Ma? (NYDN)

Motor Mouth: A federal lawsuit challenging the issuing of a trademark to San Francisco's famed Dykes on Bikes has been thrown out. Michael McDermott went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, which hears cases about copyright and trademarks, alleging that granting the group a trademark for the exclusive use of the phrase Dykes on Bikes was "disparaging to men and is scandalous and immoral." But in a 3-0 ruling the court said that as a man McDermott had no legal right to be offended (!). (365Source
