The latest news is the $225,000 Mercedes-Benz The Kang hooked up his better half with for her birthday.  Reports TMZ : T.I. hooked up Tiny with a convertible Benz S550. The ride alone costs about $130k, but Tip had another $95k in bells and whistles added. True Cooper from Atl Custom Auto Sales tells us they added a custom black wrap with an all-black-everything finish, and put it all on 22″ wheels. They had to work fast … True says he got the call a little after 2 PM Friday, and T.I. said he need it by Saturday, which was Tiny’s birthday. A crew of three was able to complete the order by 1 PM the next day. Of course, Tip shared the surprise with the world via his social media (see below).

Lucky Don Says Maino Inspired Him To Leave Streets For The Studio

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brooklyn spitter tells Mixtape Daily success of onetime fellow inmate Maino proved he still ‘had a chance.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ade Mangum Lucky Don Photo: MTV News Fire Starter: Lucky Don Brooklyn spitter Lucky Don had dreams that not even his 10-year jail bid could derail. “I knew how to rap before I went to jail,” he tells Mixtape Daily. “I always knew how to rap.” With the chips stacked against him, Luck found inspiration in BK rapper Maino , whom he met while the two were locked up in New York’s Gowanda Correctional Facility. (Luck was found guilty of shooting at a police officer.) “Me seeing him grow made me feel like I had a chance,” he said. With his mixtape grind in full swing after dropping last year’s DJ Self-hosted The Voice, Don linked up with his friend Maino, as well as Bronx rapper Fred the Godson on the TY Fyffe-produced “Let’s Go (Remix).” The original version of the song featured Luck by himself, and, at first, he set out to deliver his hardest raps over the bouncy club beat. But then he received a bit of friendly advice from the “Hi Hater” MC. “We met up on Atlantic and Bedford [in Brooklyn], I pulled up, put the CD in the car and we were just sitting in his car just listening to the beat over and over again,” Luck recalled. “He was like, ‘Nah, my dude; nah, son. This ain’t one of those beats — later for all that rap stuff right now.’ ” At Maino’s urging, Luck switched up his flow to something that matched the beat. The song soon became so big on New York’s underground that Maino agreed to jump on the remix. Now Don, who’s set to release his second mixtape, The Difference, in June, is finally seeing his dreams come to fruition. “I can’t even lie, I love music, I always loved music. I ain’t gonna sit here and front like, ‘I’m a street n—a and I never really wanted to do this.’ This is what I wanted to do. That other Luck that was locked up and all that, I left him back there. I came home to do music.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines . Related Artists Maino

Emma Stone And Bryce Dallas Howard Bond Over ‘Spider-Man’ Role

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

New Gwen Stacy says ‘it was pretty great to be together’ on ‘The Help’ set when she learned the casting news. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Emma Stone Photo: MTV News WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — In a weird twist of fate, Emma Stone found out she’d be playing Gwen Stacy in the latest installment of “Spider-Man” while on the set of “The Help” co-starring the previous franchise’s Gwen, Bryce Dallas Howard. “I found out while I was on set of ‘The Help,’ ” she said about the Andrew Garfield-starring “Amazing Spider-Man” during “The Help” Q&A session for MTV’s Sneak Peek Week. “It was pretty great to be together for that.” Howard said she was almost as excited about the casting as Stone was. “Representing as redheads!” she proclaimed onstage in front of an excited crowd at the Pacific Design Center. “I’m one of those people that goes online and reads gossip about movies, so pretty early on, there was some buzz,” she said, adding that she stormed into Stone’s trailer the minute she heard the news. “I was stoked.” With so much buzz about the new “Spider-Man” film, it seems that Stone will be just as surprised as fans to see the flick. “I’ve seen nothing, I promise. I’ve seen small action sequences for the 3-D, and it looked terrible,” she joked. “I really haven’t seen [anything].” So what did Stone do to research the role of Gwen — besides leaning on Howard for her first-hand account, of course. “I read a pretty comprehensive ‘Death of the Stacys’ book … and it’s a really amazing book to learn the story of Captain Stacy and Gwen Stacy,” she said. “And I’ve read a various amount of comics.” Will wizards, vampires or dream thieves steal the 2011 MTV Movie Awards ?
