Too Ridiculous For Words....

Okay, I have a few...So sorry to still be on this subject people, but I just couldn't let it go. I understand there has been a little bit of a web buzz, about the "Curse of Playing Tupac" (Lamont Bentley the only person to portray him died, and Merlin Santana also RIP would have been good too) so maybe Anthony Mackie was the only man brave enough to take the job...He can't help it he doesn''t resemble Pac in any way, shape or form! He does posses talent. And as far as Derek Luke looking anything like Diddy...please....Diddy wishes he looked like D. Luke.

With that being said, when/if there is ever a movie about me made, make sure Gabrielle Union gets the role....ha ha...in my dreams...I know!

B.I.G. Born Again

A biopic of the Notorious one, Christopher Wallace, is set to hit a theatre near you in 2009.

While entertainers such as Beanie Sigel, Guerilla Black and even Sean Kingston had expressed interest in the part, the producers decided on fellow Brooklyn rapper Jamal Woolard, better known on the mixtape circuit as Gravy.

Anthony Mackie, has been cast as Tupac Shakur. Angela Bassett is set to appear as Mrs. Wallace, and low and behold the best black (non rapper) actor we've seen since Denzel Washington, was hand picked by Diddy to play Sean Combs in the flick.

"People asked me years ago who [I'd] want to play me, and I said Derek Luke ... so it was just destined. I got to see him do his thing, and it was scary for me. I had to leave, 'cause he was acting just like me."

Here are my gripes about the cast....

1. Why did Puff find the flyest dude to play himself, and the ugliest dude ever to play Pac???
   
   


2. When did Ms. Wallace ever look like Angela Bassett???
   
   


3. Antonique Smith as Faith….who the bleep is she??? Where is Kimberly Locke from American Idol?




4. The crackhead baby Isaiah (from Losing Isaiah) as Lil Cease? Why? I just hope he has gained some weight since then, Personally I think the fat boy from Robert Townshend's Parent Hood, would have been a better fit.
   


5. Please throw my girl Charli Baltimore a bone and let her play herself. She has nothing better to do.....


6. The same can be said for Lil Kim, although someone owed 3LW castoff Naturi Naughton a favor and she was cast as the Queen Bee...Right?!?
   
   
   
   Personally I find the cast of this film to be quite suspect, with that said, I do have high hopes that this movie will be a success, and not just on the bootleg market.
   
   
   
   
   
   Not trying to be mean, just speaking the truth……
   
   

Cleaning Out My Closet

Mr. Cosby has decided to put up 3 of the infamous, and colorful sweaters donned as Heathcliff Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”. Proceeds from the event will go to the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation, which was established in 1997 by the Cosby family to continue the legacy of Cosby's son Ennis after his murder in Los Angeles.

If you’d like to grab a piece of TV history, get ready to sell your first born, opening bids start at $5,000….yeah 5 G’s….for a 20 year old sweater.

Let the bidding begin!

Now Mike Tyson Makes A Flick....WTF!

No it’s not a sex tape, or footage of him nibbling a plate full of ears, with hot sauce, but an actual movie….well its a documentary.

Entitled "Tyson", the film debuted at Cannes Film Festival and received a standing ovation. The film covers tidbits of the former champs life, that even diehard fans have never seen. Shedding light on the boxer losing his$300 million fortune, his romantic life with juicy sexual details. (Ugh!)

And everything from professional fights, to emotional plights.

"Jim, he just elicited all this stuff out of me, I don't know how he did it," Tyson said, speaking of longtime pal James Toback, who directed the film.

If you close your eyes and concentrate, you can actually hear him saying that last line!


Elicited!


I'm going to be laughing at that all day!



Elicited!



Ha ha!



Ok I'm done......




Elicited!



Sorry that was one for the road....

MTV 2 Presents...The Hottest MC’s in the Game 2008

It’s been written….here it is

#1 Kanye
#2 Jay-Z
#3 Lil Wayne
#4 Rick Ross (Where the hell did he get that chain???)
#5 Snoop
#6 50
#7 Lupe
#8 Young Jeezy (How and Why? Rick Ross’s chain should get this spot, or Lil Waynes Dred’s, Jay-Z nose, anything would be better than him)
#9 Andre 3000
#10 TI


Last year Lil Wayne was #1, TI was #2 and The Game was #3.

Inactivity caused Game to lose a spot altogether in 08. Too much ridiculous activity, put TI on a time out, causing him to slip to #10. Snoop didn't even make the 2007 list, but after much bitchin' from the dog, MTV 2 gave him a pass, and placed him smack dab in the middle at #5, that's the least they could do, after all he is the life of the party.....

The World's biggest Momma’s Boy/Spoiled Brat topped off the 2008 list and the charts.….as long as he is not in a song by himself he has my vote.

The Fairy Tale Has Come to an End

I’m a little late, however no one is shocked and no one cares, but Star Jones has filed for divorce from her hubby of almost 4 years, Al Reynolds. The ever delfating Star, is not speaking on the reasoning for the split, just that the two of them have not been seeing eye to eye for months.

Could it be because Mrs. Jones Reynolds, can’t hold down a job? (By the way hosting The Bad Girl’s Club Reunion show, doesn’t count. She only got that gig, cause LaLa was too busy with the umpteenth Flavor of Love Reunion.)

Or because of the rumors that she has been romancing Dwayne Wade? Yes I said D. Wade!!! (This was just a rumor people, work with me now!)

Or maybe, just maybe Al Reynolds is sweeter than honey soup, with chocolate croutons, rainbow sprinkles, a pretty please with 2 cherries on top???

Top 50 Sitcoms of All Time

Black sitcoms didn’t score too badly on this list, check it out 4 out of 50. That’s almost 10%. Kudos. People. Kudos.

46. The Jeffersons
35 Sanford and Son
22. Good Times
7. The Cosby Show

1. The Simpsons-This is the longest running show in history. Since 1989 we’ve let this yellow brood of characters into our homes, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. What can I say? Everyone loves the Simspsons!

My favorite show of all times, Married with Children ranked # 30. Does your fav make the list??? http://television.aol.com/photos/best-tv-comedies

Alicia Keys is Getting Wet

Like her predecessor's 50, and Kelly Clarkson there is a new Vitamin Water spokesperson in tinseltown. That's right, Ms. Key's will be promoting the pastel colored sugary beverage, to unsuspecting healthnut wannabees.

Top Model on Soaps

One of the better known top model rejects Yaya Dacoste, has received the chance to play the adopted daughter of Dr. Angie Hubbard on All My Children. Having been a huge soap opera fan I can tell you I do not remember Angie having, or adopting a daughter, but here she is all grown up and ready to stir up some trouble in Pine Valley and to meet her new Stepdaddy Jessie….the plot thickens!

Damon Wayans in another ABC Sitcom

Let me be the first to give an enthusiastic WHO CARES. I love the ‘90’s era Wayans’ comedy, but their time has come and gone. If you want to be remembered in this decade, come up with something fresh and exciting. Do we really want to see another lame African American family sitcom, on the ABC (Anything But Colored) network?

Damon’s new pilot he co-created is entitled ‘Never Better’. Hmmmm…has a nice ring to it…never….getting….better.

Hendrix Getting Freaky on 8mm Film

40 year old sex tape of Jimi and 2 brunettes that appeared out of nowhere, huh? Vivid Entertainment (the company that showed us Pam & Tommy and Kim & Ray J at play) purchased the tape from an individual stating he “found” it.

Really? He just found it huh? In all fairness, that person probably just came down off there 4 decade high earlier this week and remembered where the tape was then sold it to Vivid.

No way to prove if it’s him or not, a former girlfriend of the guitar legend says it’s not Jimi in the footage, and a rep for Mr. Hendrix’s estate, stated no comment on the alleged tape.

Inquiring minds are curious, where did this tape come from? Is it a fake? The main question is Why are we surprised by this? The man headlined Woodstock for goodness sake. He died of a drug overdose in 1970. He was a product of the Free Love Era. I’m more shocked that someone was coherent enough to actually tape it. Show me a sex tape of Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X, or even Kunte Kente getting some action with the cut off foot…Something shocking. Rock stars, rappers and celebutantes have sex, use drugs, and tape themselves in the act. Not surprised, it’s called narcissism.

Superhead's a Dude???

Not quite, this is a new book, from a not so new author. The former MTV producer, has a few other "inspirational" books to add to his credit, "Be Empowered... 30 Days of Meditation for Men of Color" and "Reclaim Your Power!A 30-Day Guide to Hope, Healing, and Inspiration for Men of Color "

This Tuesday, Mr. Dean dropped his latest work "Hiding in Hip Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry--from Music to Hollywood"

Will this be another suck-all/tell-all book? Or will this account from his journey of coming out of hiding, shed some light on homophobia and help others that are going through similiar struggles with self acceptance?

Honestly, I don't really careI just want to know who's gay in hip hop. I do have one question though, before I read the book...

Why do the titles have to be so long?
