LL Cool J Plays Rough On 'NCIS: L.A.'

Just two weeks after beating up an intruder who broke into his home in the middle of the night and sending him to the hospital with a broken jaw and busted nose, actor and former rapper LL Cool J, 44, a.k.a. James Todd Smith, returned to the set of NCIS: Los Angeles, where he went right on beating up bad guys — but this time just onscreen.

LL Cool J was also among one of the mourners who attended the funeral of hip-hop manager Chris Lighty today, who committed suicide last week while moving out of the Bronx house he shared with his wife, Veronica. Also in attendance at Lighty's services were P. Diddy, 50 Cent, Missy Elliott, Q-Tip, Russell Simmons, Mary J. Blige, Lyor Cohen and Grandmaster Flash, reports MTV.

NCIS: Los Angeles, also starring Chris O'Donnell, 42, is currently filming for its upcoming season four, which will premiere with an episode entitled "Endgame" on Tuesday, September 25 at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
