Earl Simmons, aka DMX, has been released from prison in Arizona, after serving more than 90 days in relation to convictions on fraud, drugs and animal cruelty charges. As you might expect from such a seasoned celebrity criminal, he stands to be rewarded for his recent troubles with TV publicity. As previously reported, the rap-type is to join VH1 reality show 'Celebrity Rehab', now in its third season.
Simmons also revealed whilst in prison that he was intending to start a Christian TV show when he got out; he told allhiphop.com: "I'm gonna start a TV show called 'Pain and Perseverance', it's about how I can reach people that the average person can't reach because I'm grounded. I'm going to give my first sermon, in the church. That's going to be incredible for me and hopefully the congregation of that church".
