Drake taping into those emotions again. But this time it’s with his ex-boo stripper Maliah (you’ve seen her in his Find Your Love video, she also date rapper Sean Kingston) via Twitter. The beef started when Drake subliminally tweeted: “Sometimes I wanna tweet things like “B**ch how you stop f**kin with me and now you live on twitter everyday”…but then I just don’t.”…Then I guess Maliah felt some type of way and immediately tweeted from her account: “Lmao Yess I love twitter and I don’t f**k with disrespectful crybaby a** n*ggas that’s y,”. When her followers told her to stop beefing with Drake, she replied: “idk y its just show business.” She then seemed to get annoyed with all the questions about her relationship with Drake, writing: “Lmao y y’all think that is the only man in my life it was 2 years ago. Please no more talk about him. Find me someone else. Who will appreciate me.” LMBO…it’s funny seeing celebs taking shots at each other on Twitter but not in a good way though. They don’t realize that blogs all over the world are just waiting for anything negative to post about them (yep like this one) ..GOT TO BE MO’ CAREFUL. ~Jazzy McBee Follow @JazzyMcBee
If you were in your late teens-early 20s when the Notorious B.I.G. debuted with “Juicy,” prepare to feel your age. The baby girl whose ears Biggie put five carats in is now a 18 year old college student. T’yanna Wallace and her mother, Jan Jackson , stopped by New York City morning radio show, Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Show With Kay Foxx recently. The mother and daughter team spoke about their relationship with Faith Evans and Lil Kim. While neither woman had a negative word to say about Lil Kim or Faith Evans , Jan made it clear she and Kim don’t speak, but it’s not because they don’t like each other. Lil Kim and T’yanna Wallace don’t speak because they lost touch. T’yanna said she has no beef with Lil kim and would speak to her if she saw her on the street. Check out the clip below.

The troubles marring the relationship between fast-talking literary agent Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) and his wife and the mother of his baby Caroline (Kerry Washington) are nothing next to the issues A Thousand Words has in marrying wacky physical comedy and a new age exploration of absentee fathers. The film, which is directed by Norbit ‘s Brian Robbins and written by Bruce Almighty ‘s Steve Koren, is being slung at audiences as a broad family laffer of the Jim Carrey school, but spends just as much time trying to be a serious tale about letting go of childhood resentments and accepting mortality. The “deep” bits aren’t, despite a climactic shot in which Murphy actually frolics with his childhood self through a Terrence Malick-style dreamy field of wheat, and the parts that aim to be funny rarely succeed at that either, telegraphing their punchlines so far in advance that they don’t really need to follow through on them. Murphy’s journey into the lucrative and yet so often awful world of family-friendly comedies is one that’s been taken by plenty of comics, but he wears it worse than most, his edges sanded off and a too calculated look in his eyes as he prepares for the soggy reconciliations with which these stories always end. It doesn’t help that even the pratfalls in A Thousand Words look tired and recycled. McCall climbs a tree to rescue a cat only to have it attack him, making him fall. McCall bluffs his way to the front of a long line at Starbucks by pretending his wife’s in labor. (I realize this is really not the type of film at which to nitpick, but beyond the vaudeville-era mustiness of the gag, why would anyone believe that someone in a wild rush to the hospital would still stop for coffee?) McCall causes multiple car accidents trying to help a blind man cross the street without being able to speak to him. The central conceit in A Thousand Words is that, thanks to a deal he’s made with Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis), “the most popular nondenominational religious leader on the planet,” McCall finds that a mystical tree has suddenly grown in the backyard of his swank house of a hill. For every word he says or writes, a leaf falls off, and presumably when they’re all gone both he and the tree will die. (The tree raises some mystical copyediting issues — “dickhead” merits two leaves, but so does “sorta classy.”) McCall obviously has some issues to work through, including the usual ones of working too hard and being emotionally unavailable, factors the film links back to his dad leaving his mom (Ruby Dee) when he was young. Caroline is so upset by his apparent lack of commitment (he refuses to sell his bachelor pad in order to move them into a more child-appropriate house and neighborhood) and unwillingness to communicate (something stepped up by the arrival of the tree) that she leaves him, though not before a laugh-free scene in which she tries to reinvigorate their relationship by wearing vinyl lingerie and breaking out furry handcuffs. That sequence, like most of the other comedic set-pieces, has the feel of something that went from brainstorming board right to the screen, as the film strains its way through every possible scenario that would be awkward when you’re not supposed to talk — ordering coffee, making an international call via an operator, making a deal over the phone, having a business meeting. When the film actually stumbles on a laugh, it seems almost an accident, as when Murphy’s character, high because of pesticides (don’t ask), inserts a breadstick up Allison Janney’s nose. Murphy rolls his eyes and mugs ferociously at the camera — A Thousand Words is the miming showcase the world never asked for — but it’s Hot Tub Time Machine’s Clark Duke, playing McCall’s assistant Aaron Wiseberger, who walks away with the film’s best scene when he’s forced to fill in for his boss at a high-powered dinner during which McCall can’t speak. The only way he knows how to handle a business deal is by channelling his boss, and the entire joke is that he’s a scrawny white kid offering fist bumps and telling someone “Sit your ass down!” But it’s mostly funny because he’s trying to pull off a decent Eddie Murphy. Remember Eddie Murphy? He used to be hilarious. Follow Alison Willmore on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
‘We just want to see him shine and keep the Houston movement going, man,’ Thug tells Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Slim Thug, Marcus Manchild and Paul Wall Photo: MTV News Fire Starter: Marcus Manchild Houston, Texas’ Marcus Manchild is talented enough to make it in rap without any co-signs, but a little love from a couple of hometown heroes never hurt anyone. Marcus, who appeared in a Get in the Game segment on “RapFix Live” back in September, is getting ready to drop his Space Jams 2 mixtape. While Manchild is still a relative newcomer, he has been learning lessons from a couple of OG’s — Slim Thug and Paul Wall — for quite some time now. “I kinda like guide him, give him a little game, what to do, what not to do,” Thugga told Mixtape Daily of his relationship with Manchild. “It’s just like family, man, we just want to see him shine and keep the Houston movement going, man. That’s it.” As part of the AMG clique, Marcus has built quite the rep for himself, thanks to the rambunctious “Get Off Me” and his original Space Jams mixtape. MM’s latest single, “Problems,” features Bun B, so he clearly has no shortage of support. For Wall, it’s all about building positive relationships. He understands how quickly today’s up-and-coming rappers can become tomorrow’s superstars. “It’s good to build relationships, because when you come back to the city, you never know who you gonna holla at or who you gonna need or vice versa. You gonna be in a position to help them out,” he said. There are no ulterior motives, either: Neither Paul Wall nor Slim Thug have any formal business dealings with Marcus. They just truly appreciate his talent. “It’s a blessing. Just having them around, guiding me, what to expect and what not to do, how not to mess up in this game. It’s surreal,” Marcus said. “You can’t ask for nothing more than legends that’s in your city that really did something, that actually ventured off out of your city and made a name for themselves and actually are known worldwide and they’re here helping you out. It’s a great feeling.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines . Related Artists Slim Thug Paul Wall
The National Enquirer is not the only tabloid that won’t let Whitney Houston rest in peace . According to The London Sun , the late singer carried on an affair with Jermaine Jackson – while the latter was married – in the early 1980s. The newspaper, which does not cite a single source, even claims Whitney’s hit single “Saving All My Love for You” was based on her secret romance with MJ’s brother. A few stolen moments is all that we share/You’ve got your family and they need you there. Though I’ve tried to resist being last on your list/But no other man’s gonna do/So I’m saving all my love for you , Houston croons on that track. The tabloid goes on to say that Michael Jackson was aware of the relationship and did not approve. It also says Jermaine was so broken up over Houston’s death that he could not attend her funeral. Late last month, Jermaine offered a few words of wisdom to Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina. [Photos: WENN.com]

Jennifer Lopez may have flashed a nipple while presenting at the Oscars. But, in the latest issue of V , the singer/dancer/actress/ American Idol judge makes sure not to expose any other private parts: she’s donning a protective cup over her crotch. Why? Lopez tells the magazine she “thought it was more graphic,” while going on to explain how boxing is a parallel to her life: “I’ve always felt like a tough girl from the Bronx, but I have a soft core,” Lopez says. “I can take a lot of punches and still keep going. I’ve been trained like a boxer to go 15 rounds.” And she’s certainly been through a lot recently, of course, as Jennifer’s divorce from Marc Anthony made headlines for weeks. “We’re parents and friends first. That will be the thread that ties us together,” she tells the publication of her ex. “I don’t know if people expect it to be negative just because the relationship didn’t work out.” Lopez has been married three times now and has also seen a couple albums and movies go bust. But she tries to take each failure in stride. “You’re not going to hit the target or the bull’s-eye every time. That’s part of it. At the end of the day, I made those choices. I’ve been in the business now, I don’t want to say how many years. You have amazing moments of recognition and success. But at this point in my life, I try to take it all with a grain of salt.”
Ray J has come out with a new book. We’ll give you a few moments to stop laughing… Titled “Death of the Cheating Man” and co-authored with some guy named Maxwell Billieon, the tome alleges that Kim Kardashian cheated with then-husband Damon Thomas in 2004 when she started boning her future sex tape partner . “She let me know she wanted to get with me,” Ray J writes. “She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex.” Ray adds that he had “no respect” for Kim while they dated, but then makes it clear why he stuck with her anyway. “We were like animals; sexually free to try anything, and we did,” he writes. “For years KK and I had a great sex life. There was more to our relationship, but the majority of it was about our wild and extreme sexual chemistry. She was a straight freak who was down to do whatever, whenever and that seriously hypnotized me.” Yes, we know, Ray. We all watched the video.
Stop actin’ like that Allison! According to TMZ reports : Chris Bosh says his baby mama is doing everything she can to destroy his relationship with his daughter — and the latest evidence is that she only wanted to let Chris see the child a grand total of 22 hours in February. Bosh — who is slated to play in the All-Star Game Sunday in Orlando — will be in an Orlando family court first thing Monday morning, asking a judge to either force Allison Mathis to give him “meaningful time” with his 3-year-old daughter or hold Mathis in contempt for denying him that. According to the docs, Mathis is supposed to hand the child over to Chris 12 days a month, but it hasn’t happened … not even close. From one court to another … Chris has no history of domestic abuse, doesn’t owe any child support, and appears to genuinely love his baby girl. LET THAT MAN BE GREAT!!!
