Jennifer Hudson to Play Winnie Mandela in New Film

After the still-talked-about success of Dreamgirls, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson has found her next big role: Winnie.

Hudson is set to star in a film based on the life of activist Winnie Mandela, which will be depicted from the Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob biography Winnie Mandela: A Life.

"I was compelled and moved when I read the script," Hudson told Variety. "Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I'm honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told."

Mandela's life is definitely full of complexities. The wife of South Africa's former president Nelson Mandela, Winnie is a paradoxical figure who supported a freedom fighter, and led her own activist movements, but was also convicted of fraud following a scandal involving the murder of a 14-year-old.

Winnie will be directed by Darrell J. Roodt, who's best known for his films Cry, The Beloved Country and Sarafina! --Linda Hobbs

Shock For Twins As X Factor Stage Stormed

Musician Calvin Harris was ejected from TV's X Factor studio by security guards after storming the stage during a performance by twins John and Edwards Grimes
the Electro man ran on to the set holding a pineapple on his head, mimicking the quiffs donned by the brothers.

He had been due to appear on the sister show The Xtra Factor.

An X Factor spokesman said: "Apparently Calvin is a huge John and Edward fan but it's unacceptable to storm the stage whilst an act is performing."

The Grimes twins - named Jedward - had been performing the song 'Under Pressure' when Harris ran on.

He then slapped his bottom before running off
The teenagers continued with their song, and were praised by the ITV show's judges for being so professional.

Writing on his Twitter page, Harris said: "Was just thrown out of x factor for jumping onstage during Jedward with a pineapple on my head."

He had earlier posted a photograph of a pineapple with the caption "important" on his Twitter page.

The show also saw Simon Cowell throw down the gauntlet to Sting after The Police star claimed the reality TV show had "put music back decades".

Elvis hair strand sold for £1,055

A strand of hair from Elvis Presley, saved by his personal barber, has raised £1,055 at auction.

Homer Gill Gilleland toured with Elvis for more than 20 years. He dyed the singer's hair black and then cut it, saving strands in a towel.

Friends of Mr Gilleland said he would then bundle up the towel, with hair inside, and take it home in a bag.

The piece of hair had been expected to fetch up to £250 at Saturday's auction in Devizes, Wiltshire.

After Elvis's death in 1977, Mr Gilleland is said to have started selling strands of the hair in a souvenir shop on the street opposite the singer's home Graceland in Memphis in the US.

The strand which was auctioned was given to Thomas B Morgan Jnr in 2002 by the barber. Mr Morgan worked in the Sheriff's Office of Shelby County and knew Elvis.

The hair, which comes with a certificate of authenticity, is mounted in a frame alongside a photograph of Elvis.

It was auctioned at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes.

In November 2002, a strand of Elvis's hair sold for 115,000 US dollars (about £70,000) in an internet auction.

RUMOURS !!!!!!

BEYONCE’S PREGNANT?????


I have been told that this is a masterpiece of a rumor. Remember yesterday we said Jay-Z had an urgent matter with Beyonce? Well, a lot of people speculated that it was drama! I have been informed that the rumor has a much brighter side. Sources inside Beyonce’s camp are saying that BEYONCE IS PREGNANT! Now, this remains a big MIGHT, but I’m hearing B is “missing something” if you catch the drift. Don’t want to give you all a TMI moment. But this is supposedly the reason why Jay has been far more attentive. You know Jay wants that kid! B isn’t quite as hype off of kids from what I gathered in the media reports, but I am sure she recognizes a blessing when she feels it! OK, shut up illseed. If it matters, the source says this rumor is “golden.”

SEED UNIT GETS AT 50 CENT!

Ztothee is officially the first member of “Seed Unit,” my crew of eyes and ears across the world! Wanna be in Seed Unit, email me! Nevertheless, Z was out in his respective hood of Houston and had the chance to interview 50 Cent….well interview is a bit much. He got to chat with 50 Cent for a few. He told 50 Cent how much he liked the BISD movie (which I heard was good too). Anyway, he asked 50 Cent if Beanie would do better with G-Unit than Roc-A-Fella and 50 said something like, “Of course, because there is more promotion (at G-Unit). He also said that he was not causing beef with Jay-Z on purpose. He said he’s tired of watching Jay try to be something he’s not. SEED-UNIT!


Here are some other things he heard.

-That 50 things Drake reminds him of Ja Rule a bit, but Ja sounds much worse in his opinion. I don’t think he was dissing Drake though.

50 Cent also said that Triple C’s wanted to be on G-Unit at first but failed.

50 reportedly joked about leaking Fat Joe’s album on his site, but I dnt think that was true. When I DL’d it, it was a bunch of G-Unit songs.

50 Cent reportedly named his pet dog “Oprah.” OH MAN….

50 Cent didn’t answer questions pertaining to Ciara or Kelly Rowland. HE pulled a page out of SoulJa Boy’s book.

50 Cent joked that Vivica Fox was in his next video, but its actually Tahiry, Joe Budden’s ex-girl. 50 didn't seem to be kidding so.....

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Impressed With Hip-Hop

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin appeared at a Hip-Hop contest on Friday (November 13), where he supported practitioners of the genre of music.

Putin appeared at the “Battle for Respect,” a music contest run by News TV at the event Putin delivered at anti drug message to those in attendance."

“This is really is propaganda for a healthy lifestyle because it is a hard to imagine break dancing having anything to do with the drinking and dope,” Putin said of the break dancing taking place at the battle.

Contestants at the "Battle for "Respect" engaged in graffiti, break dancing battles and rap battles.

“I must honestly say that those young people who are pursuing these kinds of arts in our country are bringing in their own Russian charm to them,” Putin said during the contest.

Local rappers who participated in the “Battle for Respect” expressed interest in working with the 57-year old Prime Minister of Russia.

It would be cool to produce a joint track with Putin, because he is a legendary person and our idol,” said rapper Zhigan, one of the winners of the contest.

No word yet if Putin is planning a new career as a Hip-Hop artist.

Boxer Pacquiao Victorious, Slaughterhouse, Diddy & Q-Tip React

Slaughterhouse, Diddy and Q-Tip checked in Saturday (November 14) night to share their Twitter reactions of boxer Manny Pacquiao successfully defeating Miguel Cotto in a publicized Las Vegas match-up.

From Diddy's perspective, the fight should have ended prior to a 12th round TKO.

"Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!," he wrote Saturday evening. "I got cotto in a upset Now this is boxingh. Its a war in there This is ugly live!!! 4real. A lot of blood. BOXINGSomebodys gonna have a headache! They need to stop this fight before he get hurt." (Diddy's Twitter)
Royce Da 5'9 checked in to give a play-by-play of his own boxing suggestions.

"I still think he gone go down at least once but Im officially a Pacman believer," he wrote. "No trainer in Cotto corner to tell him use the jab Cmon Son (Ed lover voice) let em finish He beat em with speed like Freddy said.....Freddy Roach is why I couldn't bet smh...Ladies and Gents say hello to the new Roberto Duran." (Rocye Da 5'9's Twitter)
Joe Budden also shared his opinion on the match-up and its outcome.

"Ok... I now believe Cotto is gonna expose Pac & Mayweather won't have to fight either 1 of'em... Just my opinion, don't knock me 4 it," he explained. "Smart move Pacman, pray.... A LOT !!! Cotto don't look ready for Pacman... Neither 1 looks ready for Mayweather !!! Goodnight Cotto I'll give credit where credit is due.. Cotto SHOULD NOT be in the ring with that boy. I'm a believer... I don't care WHAT needs to happen... Make PACMAN vs MAYWEATHER HAPPEN !!!" (Joe Budden's Twitter)
Q-Tip suggested a Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao fight.

"@mayweathermania.... u gonna close the deal with old man arum and kick manny's a**??," he wrote. "RT @JeanGreasy: "I make him pressure" is my new favorite sentence. Thanks Pac Man its up to @MAYWEATHERMANIA .... a superfight of sugar ray leonard vs. roberto duran proportions!!!!" (Q-Tip's Twitter)
Pacman has made a name for himself within the hip-hop community, most notably through a namedrop off Jay-Z's "Thank-You" Blueprint 3 single.

"Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, please hold your applause," Jay raps. "'Fore I just apply logic keys, keys open doors/Now I'm balcony, opera, black tux, binoculars, blc lux/Stop it, I shouldn't be so popular/Name keep poppin' up, face keep poppin' up/On the Tube, I'm just watching Pacquiao box 'em up/How would I know HBO would get a shot of us/Sittin' so close, that we almost got snot on us." ("Thank-You")
The fight ended in the 12th round by Pacman.

Round 11: Cotto just wants to finish the fight. Pacquiao is landing big shots in the corner midway through the round, but Cotto escapes. Cotto gets on his bicycle and the crowd boos. I think they don't know he's in the ring with perhaps the best fighter of his generation. Round 12: Cotto doesn't look inclined to fight and Pacquiao is frustrated. However, Pacquiao chases him down and after a big flurry, the referee steps in and stops the fight. (Fox Sports)

Kanye Clowned at Country Music Awards

After Taylor Swift's recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, in which she took a dig at Kanye West during the show's promo, the jokes continued during last night's Country Music Association Awards (November 11).
Hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley were the first to poke fun at Yeezy when they performed “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” during the show’s opener.
"Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye," they sang. "Let 'em pick guitars and drive 'em ol' trucks. Cowboys have manners, they don't interrupt."
Accepting the Entertainer of the Year award, Swift belted out, "I want to thank every single person in this room tonight for not running up on the stage during this speech."
Even 88-year-old country legend Little Jimmy Dickens got into the act. Paisley, was being praised for his "Welcome to the Future" video by co-host, Carrie Underwood, when the surprisingly spry stage crasher came on to stop the singer's faux speech. "Excuse me! Excuse me sir! I'll let you finish later,” Dickens interjected. “Now Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift made the best video of all time." The camera immediately panned to Swift laughing in the audience.
As previously reported, West interrupted Swift's MTV Video Music Awards speech back in September when the 19-year-old singer won Best Female Video over Beyonce. He has since been hit with relentless backlash.

Jay-Z Answers A Beanie Sigel Question @ Montreal Press Conference

“Well, Beanie Sigel at the time, and you can look it up if you like, was driving two Bentleys. With his momma in the sticks and selling 800,000 records, I don’t know what more you can do for somebody. What people choose to do when they attain of success— at some point you have to look in the mirror, and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line. And never went platinum, ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. What more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal, that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line. If that’s not pushing a person, shitttt…”

Lil Wayne & Baby Sued Over "Like Father, Like Son" Recordings

Cash Money Records' Lil Wayne and Baby have reportedly been sued over copyright issues related to their 2006 joint album, Like Father, Like Son, over the usage of unauthorized tracks.

The lawsuit was filed in a New York court room Friday (October 30).

A Florida man wants rappers Lil Wayne and Birdman to show him respect -- for using his voice in an album track called just that. Thomas Marasciullo filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in a Manhattan federal court against the rappers, their record label and various music distribution outlets. The lawsuit said Cash Money Records had him cut some "'Italian-styled' spoken word recordings" in 2006, then used them without pay or permission on "Respect" and other tracks from the rappers' joint 2006 album. (Associated Press)
The lawsuit says Marasciullo's recordings were used in four tracks on that album and five on 5 (Star) Stunna. It seeks unspecified damages for Marasciullo, who lives in Florida's Hernando County. He and his New York lawyer didn't immediately return telephone calls. Marasciullo discovered his work had been used when his daughter discovered his "Respect" while trying buy a ring-tone version of the Aretha Franklin classic by the same name, the lawsuit said. His son also became entangled in the case when he was fired from a recording engineer job at Cash Money Records after the father started demanding payment, according to the lawsuit. (Star Pulse)
The duo's album featured 20 tracks with production from hit makers including Scott Storch.

Production comes primarily from TMIX -- the UGK-sampling "1st Key" is his masterwork -- although Scott Storch stops by for the so-so "You Ain't Know," a great argument the beat-maker is spread too thin in his prolific 2006. The mix of familiar and strange is fascinating, the team-up feels like family, and at 20 tracks long, the album doesn't wear out its welcome. There's probably too much get money/stack-paper for those who want Wayne to speak on the injustices New Orleans has suffered post-Katrina, or to get to work on Tha Carter 3, but that's not what Like Father, Like Son is about. This is the sure sound of Cash Money steadying the ship and getting back on course. (All Music)
Weezy was previously sued for a song on his Tha Carter III record.

A lawsuit filed last year against Lil Wayne accuses him of copyright infringement for failing to get permission to sample folk singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel's song "Once" in his track "I Feel Like Dying." The song isn't a track on any of Lil Wayne's records, but he allegedly sings it in concert and has allowed fans to download it for free on his Web site. (WXVT News)
