Rick Ross Performs ‘Holy Ghost’ At Miami Birthday Bash

Posted on by

Rick Ross celebrated his 36th birthday on January 28 but when you’re the Bawse, it takes multiple parties and plenty of friends to truly commemorate the occasion. Ross began his birthday trek in NYC at Queens club Perfections with a stop the following night in Atlanta, before wrapping up in his hometown. The real bash went down at South Beach’s club Amnesia on Sunday night, where Ross even performed Rich Forever track “Holy Ghost” featuring Diddy.

Drake Dismisses Common Beef As ‘A Ploy For Attention’

By Nadeska Alexis (@neweryork)

The beef between Common and Drake has all but fizzled out at this point, since the Young Money rapper declined to respond to Com’s name calling on the “Stay Schemin’ (remix),” and in a new interview with Nah Right, Drake confirms that it’s all dead, done, over with. When asked if he would ever release another verse aimed at Common, he was definitive about his decision. “No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity,” Drake said. “It’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album.”

“More than anything it was just disappointing; cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre? A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.”

In the interview Drake also talked about plans for his OVO/XO crew—“OVO and XO will grow immensely and both separately and together this year—and addressed that infamous Vanessa Bryant line on “Stay Schemin.’’” (Kobe ’bout to lose a hundred fifty M’s/Kobe my nigga I hate it had to be him/Bitch you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym.”

“That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all,” Drake explained. “I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else. That line had everything to do with me and what goes on in my head as a 25 year old man with this much income flowing in.”

‘Cold Light Of Day’ Trailer: Henry Cavill Leaps, Bruce Willis Gets Paid

Posted on by

487f5 cavillcold Cold Light Of Day Trailer: Henry Cavill Leaps, Bruce Willis Gets Paid

Despite how the trailer for “The Cold Light of Day” starts, the movie isn’t actually about Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill as a supportive father-son team, who enjoy a nice family vacation, yachting around the world and having a good old time.

Turns out that daddy was in the CIA, and he didn’t tell his family, including his son, until it was too late.

Check out the “Cold Light of Day” trailer after the jump!

“The Cold Light of Day” follows Cavill’s character as he fights his way through Spain to fix the mess his father left for him and to save his family from their captors.

The trailer offers a cool look at Cavill’s action chops in a pre-”Man of Steel” movie. There’s even a scene of him leaping building to building. It’s not quite leaping tall buildings in a single bound, but 2013 is a long ways away.

Also, has anyone else noticed that Bruce Willis seems to have a clause in all his contracts that stipulates that he’ll work on a film for one day and no more? SPOILERS, I guess, but it looks like Willis is going to bite the dust pretty soon after revealing his secrets to Cavill. END SPOILERS. That’s not a bad arrangement by any means.

What did you think of the trailer for “The Cold Light of Day”? Are you on board for Cavill’s next pre-Superman action movie? Let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments section below and on Twitter!

By Nadeska Alexis

M.I.A. has plenty to share with the world today. Pitchfork kicked things off by premiering her latest single “Bad Girls,” which we first heard on her mixtape Vicki Leekx. Visuals for the Danja-produced track are expected on Friday, February 3 from Romain Gavras, the same director responsible for the rapper’s “Born Free” video. Next, during an interview with BBC Radio 1, M.I.A. confirmed that she will indeed be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, alongside Madonna and Nicki Minaj.

“Bad Girls” serves as promo for M.I.A.’s upcoming fourth album, which she intends to release in the summer, but in the mean time she’ll join Madonna to perform her verse on the material girl’s single “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” along with Nicki Minaj. “Yes, I’m going to the Super Bowl…,” she said. “I’m gonna be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj… If you’re gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go with America’s biggest female icons.”

“As musicians, we’re two women and we represent two opposite sides of the world,” she continued, on the Madonna collaboration. “If we can come together on a piece of music or something like the Super Bowl, I feel like that’s actually a cool thing to see this year because it’s getting silly out there.”

New ‘Hobbit’ Still: Bilbo Prepares His ‘Unexpected Journey’

Posted on by

d5710 thehobbit New Hobbit Still: Bilbo Prepares His Unexpected Journey

A brand new image from “The Hobbit” features Bilbo Baggins being surrounded by some very unexpected guests. The still looks to come from Bilbo’s first introduction to his 13 dwarf companions at Bag End, and he isn’t too pleased about it judging by the look on his face.

The one character noticeably absent from this photo is Gandalf, who led the introductions between the hobbit and the dwarves. Then again, the image is also missing nine of the other dwarves, so it seems like we’ll have to let it slide this time. Standing around Bilbo (Martin Freeman) from left to right are Bifur (William Kircher), Dwalin (Graham McTavish), Bofur (James Nesbit) and Oin (John Callen).

The still comes courtesy of Yahoo! Movies and was included in a new interview with Evangeline Lilly about her role in “The Hobbit.” Unsurprisingly, it was a bit harder for her to play Tauriel the elf than Kate the human on “Lost.”

“I can’t just be spontaneous, because there is nothing natural about being an elf,” Lilly said. “It’s not human, so I have to study to learn what it means to be this other creature.”

That required a lot of additional training. Lilly had to relearn everything from fighting to walking and talking in order to give a convincing performance as Tauriel.

“On top of my stunt training — which I need to learn how to be proficient with the bow and arrow, and with daggers, and in fighting orcs that are, you know, ten feet tall — I also have to learn the language of Elvish, and I have to learn an RP [Received Pronunciation] neutral English accent for when I speak English,” she said, adding that she spent “four times as much time preparing as I do actually shooting.”

This interview comes hot off the heels of a chat Lilly had with Entertainment Weekly about “The Hobbit” last week. In it, she said Tauriel would have a lot more screen time in “There and Back Again” than she does in “An Unexpected Journey.”
