By MTV News staff Sway in 2010 Wake Up Show Anthem” Photo: MTV News MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway and his “World Famous Wake Up Show” radio partner King Tech will premiere the video for their new “2010 Wake Up Show Anthem” on MTV Jams this Sunday. The track — featuring Cypress Hill’s B-Real, Ras Kass, Tech N9ne, Crooked I, Kam Moye and Bay Area rapper Locksmith — is the follow-up to the duo’s breakout hit, 1999’s “The Anthem,” which featured an array of MCs, including Eminem , Wu-Tang Clan’s the RZA , Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch and Kool G. Rap, among others. The original track became the standout on the longtime radio hosts’ album This or That. “The Anthem” also served as an audio pep rally for Sway and Tech’s historic radio show, which has showcased once-upcoming MCs like Em, Big L and Common. “For the ‘Wake Up Show Anthem,’ it’s just usually people or artists that we respect, who are known spitters that innovated their own styles,” Sway explained of the posse cuts. “Someone like the RZA a.k.a. Bobby Digital, there’s something really distinct about when he came out early in his career as Prince Raheem and then into the Wu-Tang Clan. He’s always had a distinct voice and distinct way that he spit his lyrics. “I think it goes without saying that Eminem is one of the most gifted lyricists to ever touch a mic,” Sway continued. For the updated set, Sway and Tech kept with tradition and selected a lineup of wordsmiths who tangle words together like a tricky knot. “We try to put together MCs that we feel will have a great synergy and represent something that’s important to hip-hop,” Sway said.

Tupac Should Be Played By Unknown Actor, Biopic Director Says

‘I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be,’ Antoine Fuqua says of casting Shakur film. By Jayson Rodriguez Tupac Photo: Chi Modu Following the success of the Biggie Small’s biopic “Notorious,” and the announcement late last year that a Run-DMC flick is in the works, director Antoine Fuqua recently revealed his next project would be a feature about the life of Tupac Shakur . “It looks like we’re doing Tupac Shakur’s movie next in September, that’s what I’ve been starting up and working on now,” Fuqua told the British entertainment website Digital Spy on Friday. “I’ve been working on that for a while with Morgan Creek and [the production company’s CEO] Jim Robinson. I just got the green light from him and we’re going in September. I’ve just started to prep that.” Fuqua (“Training Day,” “Brooklyn’s Finest”) told Digital Spy that he would like to see a fresh face in the role of the iconic rapper, who was gunned down in 1996. For “Notorious,” producers set out on a nationwide search for an upstart actor to play the Notorious B.I.G., before deciding on local Brooklyn rapper Jamal “Gravy” Woolard. Anthony Mackie, who had earlier played Tupac in an off-Broadway play, tied on the signature bandana again to play the West Coast rapper in “Notorious.” But Fuqua seems intent on finding multiple newcomers to play various parts in the yet-untitled project. “That’s the goal, I want to discover someone new,” Fuqua said. “I want to discover a lot of new people if I can. Obviously I’m going to have to put some people in it that you know, just because actors have different skills. I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world.” Who do you think should play Tupac in a biopic? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Tupac

Multitasking on iPhone 3G, iPad and iPod Touch Will Reach Consumers

Apple’s most sought after gadgets will be able to run more than one non-Apple application at a time soon.  The gadget includes iPhone 3G, iPad and the new iPod Touch. For example, a software upgrade from Apple (AAPL) will let users play Internet radio Pandora while searching restaurant listings. Multitasking has long been on the wish list of Apple customers and developers because it is a staple on the portable devices of Apple’s rivals. It will be available on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch models this summer and the iPad this fall. “We weren’t the first to this party, but we’re going to be the best,” CEO Steve Jobs said at Apple’s headquarters here. “It really changes the way you use the iPhone.” Apple acknowledges problem with their gadget iPad, even with a huge hit with the masses but the techy population  holds back.  Mark Williams CEO of Modality, a developer of iPhone and iPad applications for the health-care and education markets, said multitasking would be a boon for iPad use. The new iPhone operating system offers a way to see messages from multiple e-mail accounts in a single in-box; to set up folders organizing apps, such as gaming, by category; and to better protect data for corporate use. Jobs, in his trademark black turtleneck and jeans, also unveiled an advertising platform called iAd, in which Apple will sell ads to run on apps made by outside developers. Nearly 100 million iPhones have been sold, Jobs said. “This could be a whole new avenue for the advertising industry in the digital world,” said Jobs. But he hastened to point out that Apple is “not going to be an advertising agency.” The new feature highlights how advertising is migrating to mobile devices as more consumers use them to work, shop and communicate, says Paran Johar, chief marketing officer for Jumptap, a mobile-advertising network. Maynard Um, an analyst at UBS, has raised his estimates on iPhone unit shipments this quarter, to 7.5 million from 7 million. The iPhone could get a further boost if Apple develops a version compatible with the Verizon Wireless network. AT&T has exclusive rights to the iPhone in the U.S. Verizon has told Apple it wants to carry the iPhone, but it’s unclear if or when that will happen. Meanwhile, Jobs called the iPad a “profound game-changer” and said 450,000 have sold since Saturday.

Meet ‘Big Ben,’ Peaches Geldof’s Oversharing Heroin-Using Lover [Field Guide]

Ben Mills lives in Williamsburg and has ” Big Ben ” tattooed on his penis. He set the internet aflame with nude photos of British rock music heiress Peaches Geldof taken during an alleged heroin-fueled Scientology sex party. Let us introduce him. In his now-famous post to a Reddit comment thread “What’s your most WTF one-night stand story,” Ben described getting “high as a kite” and “hot and heavy” with Peaches—and waking up in a pool of vomit at Hollywood’s Scientology Celebrity Centre. Peaches’ lawyers dispute elements of the story, and Ben has yet to respond. He’s ignored multiple requests for comment; his MySpace and Facebook pages appear to have vanished. But with a man-about-town reputation and a well-archived life on the internet, a portrait is emerging. Here’s what we know about Big Ben. He had sexy time with Peaches and photographed it. Peaches’ lawyer says Ben’s photos “were taken for private purposes,” and though the lawyer casts doubt on certain parts of Ben’s story, the photos are real and so was at least some of their passion. He’s a mysteriously wealthy Williamsburgian. According to Crushable blogger Drew Grant —who has been “on-and-off dating” Mills for three weeks—Ben used to live in a “giant loft in Williamsburg with two puggles” and a pet dove. With varying levels of certainty, two friends mentioned a trust fund. One adds, “He also makes money like crazy” from a “sorta shady Internet start-up.” And he’s pretty Williamsburg-y. Describes a friend: “He’s a laid-back kind of California surfer dude who is really personable and has his hand in a lot of different pots (like he’s one of the founding members of that Bushwick trailer park, but you won’t find his name in any of the articles about the place)” He has ‘Big Ben’ tattooed on his penis. Ben says he and Peaches first bonded over their tattoos, “which both of us have a good amount of.” On his right breast, blue waves lap an ornate red skull . Drew Grant describes seeing his penis tattoo at a Jewish Purim party: me: i went to a purim party last night in the hasid district and my date whipped out his dick at this orthodox get-together because his name is ben and his dick said big ben. Smash: tattoo? me: no, his dick yelled it. yes, it was a tattoo. He’s a motorcycle enthusiast. Ben regularly posts on motorcycle forums and has a long track record of buying and selling bikes and parts online. In the past two years, he’s owned a Suzuki, two Ducatis, and a Honda 954 that was stolen last February in New York. When his bike got jacked, Ben posted a note online saying that he “would be happy to offer a reward or a few beers at a bar or something else.” Between this guy and Jesse James, this week is a renaissance of tattooed biker sex lives. He loves the internet. Ben found infamy on Reddit, but he’s appeared on many other internet sites over the years. When this latest scandal broke, he shut down his Facebook and Myspace accounts, but we found his old pages on EBay and Stumbleupon along with the cached version of his Myspace that identifies him as being 23-years-old. We also spotted Ben commenting on pictures of himself dancing with some lucky lady on the web site of party photographer Nicky Digital and using something called ThatsMyFace.com to see what he would like as an African, Asian, or East Indian. He told the Peaches story far and wide. “The time I woke up with a British fameball in Hollywood’s Scientology Center” was a go-to story for Big Ben (hey, we’ve all got one) and friends in New York and South America say they heard it—and saw the pictures. An old roommate says Ben “lent me the camera when i went to brazil for carnival. The photos were on the camera.” Ben takes a young lass for a turn on the dancefloor at the 2006 Robot Rock party at the now-closed West Village club Movida.
