Fiddy and Alicia Keys Fued
The mini feud between rap star 50 Cent and R&B singer Alicia Keys continues...
Alicia Keys explained that her comments which were published in Blender magazine suggesting that Gangsta Rap was a government conspiracy "to convince black people to kill each other" were "misrepresented."
As previously reported by MTV, 50 Cent took these comments as a personal insult and was quoted saying: "I don't like Alicia Keys no more...If she thinks what they consider [to be] gangsta music is [made] to bring black people down, then I think my s*** falls into that category," Ending strongly "I don't like people who don't like me."
The G-Unit leader is still furious with Ms Keys and has launched a further attack on the singer, her music and her piano! Sources have quoted Fiddy, real name Curtis Jackson saying:
"I don't think that [her] classical s*** is cool. I don't give a f*** if you can classically play the piano," he said. "I haven't been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time...I could f**king care less about the s***. So she don't like the music that embodies the harsh realities because they're not her realities. She hasn't been subjected to the same things."
Trying to clear up the 'misunderstanding' - Alicia Keys defended her remarks with an official statement: "The point that I was trying to make was that the term was over-sloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive,"
She continued. "Many of the 'gangsta rap' lyrics articulate the problems of the artists' experiences and I think all of us, including our leaders, could be doing more to address these problems including drugs, gang violence, crime, and other related social issues."
Keys isn't the only artist Fiddy is beefing with at the moment, as he's also trading verbals with former G-Unit member Young Buck.

Why I don't post albums
This has been a baaaaad week for the blogs.
No less than 3 of my favorite blogs have been shut down for posting the Madonna album a week early. I have it, of course, but I do not post albums for that very reason!
According to a little research, Madonna's album was the reason why over 30 blogs/sites have been shut down.
For my fellow bloggers - there are other ways to share the wealth, and don't eff wit Madonna, the richest b-tch in music!
RIP Chris Picks & Blakmusicfirst, I hope you come back!

IRON MAN OPENS A DAY EARLY (hell yea)!!!
Iron Man fans . . .
Check your local theaters . . . Iron Man will actually open at 8pm on THURSDAY, MAY 1 instead of the much-advertised Friday, May 2 in most cities!!!
In my city, tickets are not available online (yet), so it looks like I will be standing on line once again (but I bet the pay-off will be better than it was for Phantom Menance).

CRANK 2 !!!!
Jason StathamThe original Crank was ridiculously crazy, over the top, vulgur, and freakin' amazing, and Statham is back for a sequel! Yes, his character seemingly jumped from a helicopter and died at the end of the first movie (ooops . . spoiler), but I do not care. I hope they do not even explain it. Here is the info:
Lakeshore Entertainment has its cast for Crank 2:High Voltage locked and ready to go, says Variety. Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios while Amy Smart will reprise her role as his girlfriend. Clifton Collins Jr. will play his mobster nemesis in the sequel. Bai Ling also is joining the cast, along with Dwight Yoakam and Efren Ramirez, who are both returning from the original. Production will begin April 28 in Los Angeles for returning writers and directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.Plot Concept: In "Crank 2," Chelios faces a mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.
Black Panther gets animated on BET
BET just held its upfronts announcing its 2008-2009 shows and there’s one for the comic book fans! The Marvel Comics character Black Panther will be getting his own animated series for the network. Black Panther has never been a major character in the Marvel U, but he’s consistently been around either in his own book, via guest appearances in Fantastic Four , where he got his start, or as an Avenger.
There have been several efforts to bring the character to the big screen including an attempt by Wesley Snipes who wanted to play the character. Marvel even recently announced that a film for the character was on their slate of upcoming projects. Just because he’s getting animated doesn’t mean he won’t appear on the big screen though. How many Spider Man series have their been? Ten years ago, Wesley Snipes would have been perfect in the role. The series is slated to premiere early next year.

The Incredible Hulk: New Photos, Iron Man Crossover and Lou Ferrigno Confirmed
The new issue of Empire Magazine due in newsstands on April 25th features a couple new photos from The Incredible Hulk. Meanwhile my friend Alex from Firstshowing who is at the New York Comic Con, saw footage that confirms the much rumored Iron Man / Incredible Hulk crossover. Apparently Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) shows up and talks with a drunk General ‘Thunderbolt‘ Ross (William Hurt) in a bar. Meanwhile ComingSoon reports that director Louis Leterrier offered Lou Ferrigno voice work for the film, saying his trademarked “Hulk Smash”.
GI Joe Movie info
Ray Park As Snake EyesJust as Paramount breathed new life into the Transformers franchise last summer, the studio is hoping to do the same to this sci-fi soldier series about a team of military experts battling the villainous Cobra organization.
G.I. Joe refers to the team, not any one person, and Snake Eyes is its mysterious lone wolf. In the movie, shooting now and set for August 2009, this fearsome figure is played by Ray Park (Darth Maul in the first Star Wars prequel, Toad in X-Men).
"He's the world's greatest ninja, but he's also next-generation. He's not afraid to use a sword one second, and a split-second later he's pulling out his Glock," says director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy and Van Helsing). "His chief nemesis is arguably the world's other great ninja, Storm Shadow. The two grew up together, were blood brothers and now are mortal enemies."
Channing Tatum (Step Up) plays all-American team leader Duke. Rachel Nichols (Alias) plays the crossbow-wielding Scarlett, Marlon Wayans is paratrooper Ripcord and Dennis Quaid is the commander, Hawk. On the evil-doer side, Sienna Miller plays the raven-haired Baroness, Christopher Eccleston is Destro, the arms dealer who hides behind a silver mask, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock From the Sun, Brick) plays multiple roles, including the Cobra Commander.
Depending on which decade you grew up in, the name G.I. Joe can mean very different things. Hasbro initiated the G.I Joe line as 12-inch dolls in the 1960s, with generic figures representing the U.S. military branches.
The franchise was relaunched in the '80s with smaller action figures, new heroes featured in comic books and a popular after-school cartoon.
Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura also is overseeing this project. He says the appeal then, as now, is broad, across race and even gender. (G.I. Joe was one of the few toys for boys that had female characters.)
"There are quite a few characters in it, and almost certainly a character in which an audience member can see themselves, or want to be," he says.
Sommers stresses that the movie is an origins story, so his challenge is to explain why the bad guy wears a metal mask, why Snake Eyes doesn't talk and other strange things kids took for granted. "For people who know nothing about it, it'll make sense," Sommers says. "And to people who love this stuff, it'll show where they all came from."
Murphy and Ratner to remake 1957 classic
Brett Ratner is set to direct star Eddy Murphy in a re-telling of the 1957 classic film "The Incredible Shrinking Man". The update will be the comedic approach to the fantastical material, telling the story of a famous Las Vegas magician who is put under a spell that causes him to shrink. He must find a way to reverse the spell before he gets so small that he "disappears."

The Verdict : Mariah Carey - E=MC2
Ok first of all, I am glad Mariah changed the title from "That Chic" to the more clever E=MC2 (Emancipation = Mariah Carey to the second power). That being said, one of the best tracks actually is "I'm That Chic", a mid-tempo with weed references throughout (" . . . . boy i got you caught up inside of my haze, and you're gonna be gone for days/I'm like that OO-WEE/you fienin'/to blaze up/and taste me/got flavor/like ice cream/i'm that chic you like . . . "). Hip-hop rules the universe.
The Dream gave Mariah "Touch My Body", which is already a #1 single (which means Mimi has beaten Elvis' record with her 18th #1 single). "Side Effects" is also pretty hot (maybe it didn't need Young Jeezy). This one seems personal, like she is talking to/about Tommy Matola who she married when she was 18 or something like that. "Migrate" is standard T-Pain, so we get a little bit of vocorder action on Mariah's voice. This is a banger though, as is the Swizz Beatz assisted "O.O.C". "Cruise Control" might seem a bit strange, with Mariah doing a "reggae" accent for part of the song. I don't hate it at all, I like Damian Marley on the track, and I feel it growing on me. "Love Story", "Thanks For Nothin'", "Bye Bye", and "For the Record" are more pop/r&b and display Mariah's voice a bit more that the hip-hop-ish tracks. "I Wish You Well" is another album ending Gospel/Inspirational track.
Much the same formula as Mimi - some mid, some slow, some hip-hop, a Gospel track at the end. For me, nothing here reaches the level of "We Belong Together", but sequels rarely llive up to their predecessors. These are not Mariah's best songs, but she is going to get some hits from it and there is a lot here to like.
I like this quite a bit - just not as mush as Mimi.
Shia LaBeouf in "Dark Fields"
Shia LaBeouf has signed on to star in Universal's techno thriller Dark Fields, reports Variety. Leslie Dixon is penning the screenplay and Neil Burger (The Illusionist) will direct the film, which is based on Alan Glynn's 2002 novel "The Dark Fields." This will likely be filmed after Shia completes work on Transformers 2, which begins production this summer.
Plot Concept: The story centers on a young man who comes into possession of the ultimate smart pill, and the events that ensue.
