| 13 Films That Should Never Be Remade... Posted: 19 Oct 2011 09:32 AM PDT  Sparkle, Juice and Steel Magnolias are among the classic films currently getting the “remake” treatment in Hollywood…and not everyone is happy about it. So before any further chaos is caused, we've got the DO NOT REMAKE list for budding Hollywood producers.
These are the movies that need to be left where they're at. Check it inside…
Some movies are good the first go round. Times may changes, people may change, but some ish just needs to be left alone. From Breakfast at Tiffany's to Titanic to Boyz In The Hood (Nia Long & Cuba Gooding, Jr. pictured above on the set), you can’t recreate that type of magic….so why try?
Check out our DO NOT REMAKE gallery for others that should NEVER be put into new production…again.... |
| Idris Elba & Lance Gross' "Milk+Honey" Webseries Premiere Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:54 AM PDT Idris Elba put on his Executive Producer hat for a brand new webseries called "Milk + Honey," which we gave the exclusive first look of a while back.
Now, peep the full first webisode of the dramedy series starring Lance Gross, Debbie Allen, and plenty others, as the cast navigates through Hollywood's smoke and mirrors...
Milk+Honey focuses on the spiritual, professional, and romantic journeys of four young ambitious African American women navigating through the lights, smoke, and mirrors of Hollywood. Audiences will bond with the women as they experience the joy and pain unique to their paths towards the Promised Land. Check out the full first episode above. Idris also spoke about why this series is necessary:
He says, "I decided to get involved with Milk + Honey because of the strong demand for content that is relatable and authentic. Brown Paper Dolls has an intuitive way of displaying positive images of women throughout the series.” The series also stars Faune Chambers (Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Bryce Wilson (Beauty Shop), and introduces Asha Kamali. Yaani King, Shauntay Hinton, Charles Divins and Rob Smith round out the cast. You feelin' it? |

| 50 Cent Pledges A Billion Meals For Hungry Kids, Hits RAZR Launch With Zoe Saldana Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:41 AM PDT
Last night, 50 Cent and Zoe Saldana were spotted at Motorola's DROID RAZR Launch in NYC. See their photo inside and find out how what huge pledge Fif just made to feed hungry children around the world.... Zoe Saldana (who's engaged but has been out and about with Curtis a lot these days in support of his Street King drink--doubt rumors of them getting it in are true) and rapper 50 Cent were among the celebs who came out to celebrate the launch of Motorola's new Droid Razr last night in New York City.
Both celebs donned black outfits as they posed on the carpet, and 50 represented his new Street King beverage.
Recently, 50 announced that on behalf of his energy drink, Street King, the company would donate a meal to needy children for every purchase (they estimate this would amount to a billion meals over the next 5 years). And if that wasn't enough, 50 added that he would also donate a meal for every Facebook “like” the energy drink company gets over the next week. And if the company meets its goal of 1 million “likes” in 1 week, he promised to double the donation, paying for another million meals for the children. That's a lot of feeding.....I hope 50's fans go out and support his drink so he can feed the world! |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:30 AM PDT Well isn't this interesting. Ashanti's 22-year-old little sister Kenashia “Shia” Douglas loves to party it up obviously. And she and Omarion were spotted getting extra close in the VIP section of a nightclub recently. They even rocked coordinating cheetah outfits. Done on purpose? Who knows.
Pics of O and Shia grinding it out and getting thisclose inside.... Girls just wanna have fun. And that is exactly what lil Shia looked like she was having with singer Omarion. No official word on if they're a new couple. But we do spot hands on ass, legs climbed over each other, and whispers in the ear. And Shia tweeted about "her man's" shoes once these pics surfaced saying:

Singer Teairra Mari will appear on "Love & Hip Hop 2," according to her publicist who is already shopping interviews, but VH1 is keeping her a secret for some reason. But they have confirmed 2 other new cast members.
Check out the brand new promo for the new season and who the new chicks are, plus Royce Reed announces her return to "BBW," inside....

| Is That....A BALD PATCH Serena?! Posted: 18 Oct 2011 02:32 PM PDT
Uh oh! Not too sure how we missed this one earlier, but upon double inspection, this bald patch is like WHOA. Pics and video of Serena Williams trying to hide what we all can see very clearly inside... It happens to the best of em. Wig and weave wearers who switch it up constantly are likely to cause some damage. Tennis pro Serena Williams was spotted leaving dinner with her good friend Brittny Gastineau last night in Hollywood. And a suspect bald patch--not sure if this this is a balding wig or balding scalp exposed by a weave--made an appearance before she did:
She tried to cover it up once paps put the camera on her, but oh wells. I actually like the curls on her. More mad at her so called bestie (who was first besties with Kim K.) Brittny who didn't tap her on the shoulder and point this ish out to her. With friends like those....
Peep the video of Serena leaving dinner and trying to scurry past the paps.... Pics via SPLASH |

Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith just became the next entertainers to own a professional sport team. He went back home to Philly to buy a percentage of the Philadelphia 76ers.
More on what the uber millionaires are doing with their dollars inside... Despite going through crazy breakup and cheating rumors as a couple recently, the Smiths just made a major move in the sports world. Will became the 4th major recording artist, along with his wife Jada, to own part of an NBA team. The dad of 3 is part of an investment group, headed by multi-billionaire Joshua Harris, who made the major purchase and was unanimously approved by the NBA Board of Governors. “My partners and I are thrilled to have become owners of the Sixers,” Joshua Harris said in a statement. ”It is an honor to become part of this storied franchise. We have a lot of work to do, but we have a rich history, a strong foundation and a bright future.” The Smiths join the likes of Usher (Cleveland Cavs), Nelly (Charlotte Bobcats), and Jay-Z (New Jersey Nets). Must be real nice.... |
| ON THE SET: Blonde Dreaded Nicki Minaj Channels Weezy At "Y.U. Mad" Video Shoot Posted: 18 Oct 2011 10:51 AM PDT The Young Money crew is always down for some silliness. So Nicki Minaj traded in her two-toned harajuku wigs for a blonde (with pink tips of course) wig of dreads. All so she could become "Female Weezy" on the set of their new "Y.U. Mad" video. Check it inside.... Nicki makes a cameo on Lil Wayne and Birdman's "Y.U. Mad" track. So it's only right she dons her own dreads and handrubs-a-la-Birdman for the video.

And here's video of Nicki doing a whole PSA Female Weezy style. Sadly, it's spot on.

| Lil Wayne, Eminem, Erykah Badu, & More SURVIVE For GQ Mag's ROCK Issue, Reveal Details Of Drug Pasts Posted: 18 Oct 2011 09:39 AM PDT
In a cover feature surrounding artists who have survived drug and addiction issues that all come with the rockstar life (and some reveal how they survive the life without drugs), rappers Eminem and Lil Wayne are covering GQ magazine alongside musician Keith Richards.
We've got the other artists involved in the feature, what Em said about his drug induced past (it got crazier than we all thought), behind the scenes video, and more inside... GQ said about this issue: “The Survivors.” The ones who keep going, evolve, even flourish, long enough for us to still be listening to them ten, twenty, even fifty years later. Forty-six artists about whom you’ll never say, “I only like their early work.” The legends—or legends-in-the-making—who refuse to die, quit, back down or shut up.
He's a little hazy about that time, but Eminem revealed how years ago before entering rehab, he took somewhere between sixty and ninety pills a day, including Valium, Vicodin, Ambien, and Seroquel (used to treat schizophrenia). His interiew goes ino crazy detail and how he overcame it:
Check out his full interview over at GQ.
Wayne, Erykah, Raekwon and others' interviews go live over the next few weeks. Check out the behind the scenes footage of the cover and feature shoot above. |
