The Rap Career Is Probably A Wrap: 50 Cent Signs Up For New Movie And Starts Planning His Next Two

Welp. Looks like Bugsy is finally accepting that his rap career will never make it back to what it was in 2008. Via AllHipHop.com : 50 Cent will star in a new action thriller movie titled “The Pursuit,” which will be directed by Jesse Terrero, who has also signed a three-picture deal with the rapper’s Cheetah Vision Films and Emmett/Furla Films. The movie centers around a cop and a criminal, who are teamed together by accident in pursuit of a bank robber who has crossed both men. During the movie, a U.S. Marshal hunts both men to prevent them from killingnthe escaped robber before he is brought back to justice. The movie, which is slated to begin production February 15th in Louisiana, is one of nine films the Cheetah Vision/Emmett Furla partnership will produce this year and one of the ten that will be distributed under a distribution deal with Lionsgate. Emmett / Furla is currently taking advantage of $250 million in funding to produce a slew of movies, including “Broken City” starring Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe and “Frozen Ground” starring John Cusak, Nicolas Cage and Vanessa Hudgens and others. Now if we could just break him and his boo boo Floyd up and teach him to stop picking on Game…

Congratulations??? 19-Year-Old Model Rose Cordero Announces She’s Toting A Gut Full On Facebook

By all accounts, Dominican beauty Rose Cordero is one of the brightest rising stars in fashion right now. She’s also just weeks away from becoming a mommy. And 19. She made the announcement today by posting the photo above on Facebook. Based on recent fashion photos alone, though, you wouldn’t know Rose is with child. Dominican Republic-born Cordero most recently appeared in a sexy shoot for Marie Claire Italy’s October issue posing in several belly-baring looks. On online threads where the news spread, fashion fans have compared Cordero to fellow model Jourdan Dunn, another rising black model who got pregnant at age 19. One difference, some commentators have noted, is that Dunn’s profile was already quite high when she had her baby — she even made a memorable runway appearance while seven months pregnant at Jean Paul Gaultier in 2009. Cordero’s biggest achievement to date has been becoming the first solo black model to grace the cover of French Vogue since 2002. We know that as a working model, Rose can certainly afford to provide for her child. But still, don’t you think 19 is a little young? Source

Nothing in the world is better than your freedom. TEHRAN — Two US hikers, jailed in Iran for spying, were released on bail Wednesday into the custody of the Omani envoy in Tehran. An Omani plane was en route to Tehran to retrieve the hikers, FOX News Channel reported, citing a State Department source. Oman is an ally of the US and has friendly ties with Tehran. The lawyer for the two Americans said Oman paid the bail, set at around $1 million. Oman was also involved in the release of a third hiker, Sarah Shourd, 32, who was released in September last year. The lawyer, Masoud Shafii, told FOX News Channel he was en route to the prison, and was unable to confirm if the two men were already released. He earlier said the men would be taken to the Swiss embassy, which handles US interests in Iran. Congratulations gentlemen, we sure your families will be glad to have you home. Source

Making It Rain On Them Unemployed Singers & Recovering Addicts: Jordin Sparks To Star Alongside Whitney Houston In “Sparkle” Remake

Uh oh! Looks like someone put Nippy on the comeback trail and set Jordin Sparks on that J. Hud career track. via Variety.com Sony Pictures is rounding up a sparkling cast for its remake of the 1976 music-themed pic “Sparkle”: Whitney Houston is in negotiations to join “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks and Mike Epps in the film, which Salim Akil is directing from a script by Mara Brock Akil. Debra Martin Chase, TD Jakes and Curtis Wallace are producing along with the Akils, while Houston will exec produce with Howard Rosenman and Gaylyn Fraiche. TriStar Pictures will distribute the film in association with Stage 6 Films. Production is skedded to start next month. Original pic followed three sisters who begin singing in their church choir in Harlem in the late 1950s and go on to become a successful girl group. Their sudden rise unravels their personal lives. Remake will be set in 1968 Detroit during the rise of Motown. Story will focus on the youngest sister, a music prodigy named Sparkle (Sparks), and her struggle to become a star while overcoming issues that are tearing her family apart. “Sparkle” will mark Houston’s first starring film role in 15 years; she last toplined Penny Marshall’s 1996 pic “The Preacher’s Wife.” The Grammy-winning recording artist previously starred in “Waiting to Exhale and “The Bodyguard.” Project reunites director Akil with Epps, who starred in the helmer’s wedding pic “Jumping the Broom.” That pic grossed more than $37 million domestically earlier this year. Epps, best known for his comedic turns in “The Hangover” and “The Honeymooners,” has been showcasing his dramatic chops of late: He recently wrapped the indie thriller “Vipaka,” which stars Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie. Epps’ next gig is hosting this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards. Let’s just hope Nippy can stay off the sauce long enough to make this happen. Oh, and that Mike Epps doesn’t pull a “ Katt Williams ” on us from being around all these rappers…

Today In Disfunctional D-List Love: Laura Govan Says It’s Back To All Good With Gilbert Arenas And He Put A Ring Back On It

Ladies, is it just us, or could the man who left us with four kids, including a newborn, never get so much as the time of day from us again in life? Laura Govan clearly doesn’t ascribe to that way of thinking. ESSENCE.com: You refer to Gilbert as your fiancé. You two are back together? GOVAN: Yes, we are, and we plan to get married soon. When and where, I don’t know yet. I feel like we’re already married though, ten years, four kids later. People say he’s a mess, and I’m a mess. You know what, we’re each other’s messes. Everybody has breakup and make-up moments. It just so happens that ours is out in the public. You learn to grow. At this point in our lives Gilbert and I have been there, done that; the drama, the chaos. We’re older now, and we’re more mature. Now we’re better parents, and we’re taking the steps to make things better. Regardless of our past, we want our kids to see a good future. Ooooh… sounds a little enabler-ish, doesn’t it? ESSENCE.com: Gilbert had a lawsuit trying to stop you from being on the show. Why do you think he didn’t want you on it and why was it important for you to be on it? GOVAN: A lot of people don’t know that Gilbert is really shy. He didn’t want things about our family to be out there. But at the end of the day, things about our family are already out there so I thought let’s take control of the things we can. It was also important for me to do the show because, one, I wanted to do something on my own. I’m always in his shadow. Had it been to get a job at Target, I would have taken it, but since I was offered this opportunity, I took it. Yeah. She’s right: those two definitely belong together. Source

A Lil Positivity: Daddy-To-Be Hov Is Holding A Charity Carnival For His Scholarship Foundation

Looks like the talk of babies got The Camel thinking about the future. Jigga has a Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund that is helping get countless kids into college. Now, he’s hosting a carnival to raise more money for the charity. The event will be on September 29th and tickets will be $1,000 each. Attendees will get treated to meals from a few of Hov’s favorites including The Spotted Pig and the Milk Bar. He’ll also be giving away Nets tickets and some clothing items from a few places he name drops on Watch The Throne. For anyone that says rappers don’t give back to their community, this is a little proof that at least Hovito is looking out for the kids out there.
