May 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity News, Movies
R&B superstar Rihanna is set to make her film acting debut in “Mama Black Widow”.
The film, based on a 1969 novel by former pimp Iceberg Slim, tells the story of a black household’s migration from the Mississippi fields of the segregated south to the supposedly more open-minded city of Chicago in the 1930s.
The Caribbean singer will play the troubled and tragic sister of Otis Tlison, Carol. She will star alongside Kerry Washington, Mos Def and Brian J. White. The film is scheduled to be shot in the fall of 2008.
Otis Tilson will be played by Brian J. White of “Stomp the Yard” fame. The movie shows Otis struggling to maintain his family in the underworld of Chicago, as he turns to alcoholism, pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation.

Boondocks - Season 2, Ep. 13: The Story Of Gangstalicious Part 2
February 1st, 2008 | Posted in Music News, Television, Videos
In this episode, much to the chagrin of Granddad, Riley starts to walk, talk, and dress like his favorite rapper, Gangstalicious.
Riley arranges for rappers Thugnificent, Flo-Nominal, and Macktastic to collaborate with Gangstalicious on a remix of his new hit song, “Homies over Hoes.”
But when rumors surface about Gangstalicious being gay - following in the footsteps of gay rapper Booty B - Riley’s world is turned upside-down.
Mos Def (Gangstalicious), Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Katt Williams, Sway, and FatMan Scoop guest star.
Jessica “Wondercheeks” Ethelburg is an obvious parody of Karrine “Superhead” Steffans.
