Via NY Daily News : Rapper Fabolous walked away nearly unscathed after his black Cadillac Escalade collided with a truck on a Queens highway early Wednesday morning, he said on social media. “I just survived a car accident on the Van Wyck in Queens, NY,” he told his 4 million followers on Instagram and Twitter. “It’s a very shocking experience & may change my outlook on how fast things can happen & you’re put into a life threatening situation,” he added. The Brooklyn-native hip-hop star — born John Jackson but who calls himself “Loso” — said he suffered minor injuries during the 7 a.m. crash. It was the 36-year-old “You Be Killin’ Em” singer’s first car accident, he said. It was unclear which driver had the right-of-way. It was also unclear if the accident would interfere with his scheduled performance at La Marina in Inwood Saturday. Hopefully this won’t keep Fab from hitting up La Marina all summer… Hit the flip for Fab’s pics and complete thoughts on the accident.
Throw that boy p …never mind. Tyson Beckford, Michael Jai White Cast As Male Strippers In New Film We’re sure some ladies ( and quite a few gents ) are going to be super-excited to see this! A new film about the Black male stripper scene is set to hit theaters with Michael Jai White and Tyson Beckford serving as the primary eye candy. How do you think their shirtless, oiled-up gyrations will measure up against Channing Tatum’s? Via Deadline : Channing Tatum did it with Magic Mike, and his co-star Joe Manganiello sold upcoming docu La Bare on the strength of the tantalizing subject matter. Now indie helmer Jean-Claude LaMarre (Gang Of Roses, Color Of The Cross) is hoping to tap into the world of male strippers with his urban take, Chocolate City, which aims to merge the Magic Mike phenomenon with the recent strength of African-American-themed films at the box office. Black Dynamite star Michael Jai White and model-turned-actor Tyson Beckford are in negotiations to star in the tale of Devin, a college student struggling to make ends meet who meets the owner of a male strip club (White) who convinces him to give amateur night a whirl. Beckford will play Adrian, the club’s former star attraction who finds his popularity fading as the new kid starts to steal the spotlight. “This movie was in gestation for 2 1/2 years, but after Magic Mike it seemed a natural fit for the African-American female audience,” LaMarr told me. I researched the male exotic club scene and it’s massive across the country, with clubs specifically targeting middle-aged African-American women.” Finally…a race-themed flick specifically for the thirsty ladies! Will you be watching?
Well, that didn’t take long … Michael Sam’s OWN Documentary Postponed Via NYDailyNews Oprah has punted, for now, on a planned documentary series about openly gay NFL draftee Michael Sam. The Oprah Winfrey Network announced Friday it will postpone the untitled documentary, claiming it didn’t want to hurt the fledgling football star’s chances of making it onto the St. Louis Rams. The team drafted Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the National Football League, last week in a ground-breaking moment for professional sports. Cameramen for the documentary would have followed the former University of Missouri defensive end as he tried to earn a spot on the squad. The show’s air date and the number of episodes were never announced. OWN Network president Erik Logan said postponing the documentary would give “Michael the best opportunity to achieve his dream of making the team.” “OWN is about elevating and empowering people to achieve their best,” he said in a statement. “It’s clear that we, along with the world, recognize the important opportunity that Michael now has in this moment.” We’re sure there are plenty of folks who are more than happy about this recent development.
