The next installment of the Fast and the Furious is traveling back to its roots with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, and get this... Lil Weezy (you think he can act?) Michelle Rodriguez is supposedly in talks of appearing in the movie as well but nothing is confirmed. This movie is scheduled for 2009.
As for Wayne, he is also said to have a role in a New Orleans set basketball movie with Forrest Whitaker and Bow wow. The movie's called the Patriots and is supposed to drop in November.
Jay-Z finally did it. According to rhymeswithsnitch.com Jay-Z and Beyonce were said to have taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale New York on Tues. April 1st. The license is only good for 60 days, however. Who's next, Flavor Flav? He's got more going for him though. He's said to be working on a $150 million deal with the concert promoter Live Nation. I guess thats how he got Beyonce off the market.
Aaron McGruder turned the contentious Boondocks into an empire by pointing out what a lot of people are probably scared to say. But it looks like he may have met a fight with BET. Apparently The Boondocks season was cut two episodes short because thoes two "banned" episodes shot bombs at BET and its CEO and president Debrah Lee and Reggie Hudlin, or "Dr. Leevil" and "Wedgie Hudlin", as named on the show. Their prime objective (in the episode) is to see to the destruction of black people which is enforced by all of its productions that seem to add to black stereotypes. It contains the guest voice appearances of Cee-Lo, Donald Faison and Tavis Smiley. I saw the episode and I'm not mad. It was funny and kinda on point... You judge for yourself:
You can see it at this website but I heard these "banned" episodes are being yanked quick.

Earlier within the month I wrote a post congratulating one of the funniest comedians out (Eddie Murphy) in his most recent marriage to Tracy Edmonds, only to find out it was fake. I don't know why. He released this statement to TMZ online magazine: "After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further.
While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends." I know your a comedian, but...
Although its not physical, hip hop is a professional competition within itself that can compare to sports. With that in mind, why cant it have its own trading card? If you didn't know, it does. The Legends of Rap trading Cards. I personally like these cards. Music is an art form and some art is priceless. Some pioneers (no one hit wonders) can't be replaced and shouldn't be forgotten. Above is a look at a couple of a 32 card set, that feature artists from Whodini to Sugar Hill.
