Now, on to the info of the day:

I love the show 'Scrubs', you should watch it! It's got everything: comedy, drama, life wisdom, sex, relationship advice, the whole nine... it's my favorite thing on TV right now (besides the Simpsons and Futurama of course :)

Check out the old homies:

Asian bootlegging is out of control! (peace to Chris aka TSC's DJ Extrodinare who hooked me up with this article, LOL):

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong people hoping to cure their asthma through the age-old remedy of a dish of crocodile meat could instead come down with sore throats, constipation, nosebleeds and insomnia, a newspaper said on Thursday.

This is because about two-thirds of the supposed crocodile meat on the market probably comes from other reptiles, the Standard said.

Hong Kong's Consumer Council tested 24 samples of crocodile meat from dried seafood shops across the territory and found that 16 were fake, constituted instead from dried lizard or snake.

"It is difficult for ordinary people to differentiate between the meats of various reptiles. Consumers are advised to buy ... at reliable shops and get receipts that state clearly what they are buying," Council chief executive Connie Lau was quoted by the Standard as saying.

Three people were arrested for selling fake products, the paper added.

Top Ten Rappers Turned Actors List... do you agree? Peep:


"As I was watching the repeat episode of Law and Order: SVU, the episode that Ludacris was on, I had to commend him on his acting skills. So this brought a topic to mind… who are the Top Ten rappers turned actors? I decided to do a list and see if you agree or can add others to it. Keep in mind that I am only listing 10, although I can probably give you as many as 20 just off the top of my head!

Keep in mind that I do know there are some that are coming up now that could conceivably make and even top this list, but as of this writing, I stand by my choices! Prove me wrong!

In no particular order (or maybe it is…..)

1) Mark Wahlberg a.k.a. Marky Mark- Now you can’t front, you couldn’t stand Marky Mark or his damn Funky Bunch, but this Boston Beantown resident does his thing in the acting realm! I am quite sure that most of you didn’t even realize that Mark Wahlberg was indeed Marky Mark. Check out Four Brothers, The Departed, The Italian Job, Fear and Three Kings.

2) Chris Bridges a.k.a. Ludacris - As I mentioned above, Luda did a great job on that Law and Order episode as Darius Parker, relative of another Top Ten entry, Ice T. Although he doesn’t have an extensive acting resume, I think he will be one of the great rappers who is also a great actor in years to come. Check out Crash, Hustle and Flow and 2 Fast 2 Furious.

3) Tracey Morrow a.k.a. Ice T - For a man to be labeled a pimp and who was responsible for a group that made a song called “Cop Killer,” his most memorable roles are that of a cop. But that’s the trademark of an actor, to play a character that isn’t in your everyday being. Now, I have to admit, seeing him in New Jack City gave me pains, as I just knew this would be his last acting job (don’t front, you thought the same thing!). But lo and behold, he is still around and has turned into a decent actor. Check out his stints on New York Undercover, Trespass and Ricochet, and keep in mind that Ice T is a regular cast member on one of the longest running television series in Law and Order.

4) O’Shea Jackson a.k.a. Ice Cube - Amerikkka’s Most Wanted had a great start with his starring role in John Singleton’s debut movie Boyz N Da Hood. From Cube’s performance in this movie, you knew he would continue on this path, but I didn’t realize he would actually become a major player in Hollywood (both on and off screen). Check out Barbershop 1 and 2, Friday, Next Friday and Friday After Next, Are We There Yet? And the sequel, Are We Done Yet? and All About The Benjamins. He is also producing and starring in the film version of Welcome Back Kotter amongst other things.

5) Dana Owens a.k.a. Queen Latifah - Now I am sure that 99.4% of you will agree with me when I state that Queen Latifah is one of the best and most positive images Hip-Hop can lay claim to. This multi-talented woman has shown that the many hats she wears are worn well. Her body of work speaks for itself, even her brief appearances in Juice and Jungle Fever. Check out Beauty Shop, Chicago, Last Holiday, The Bone Collector and the HBO movie, Life Support.

6) Will Smith a.k.a. Fresh Prince - Who would have figured that a skinny, big-eared rapping kid from Philly would end up making more money per movie than a more accomplished and trained actor such as Denzel Washington? Yes, Hip-Hop’s own Fresh Prince (nominated twice for an Oscar), who admittedly went through his first million as fast as he made it, catapulted himself into Hollywood’s stratosphere by being himself on his own self-titled TV show. He took that charm and character to the next level to make himself an unlikely movie star. Check out The Pursuit of Happyness, Hitch, Independence Day, Ali, Bad Boys 1 and 2, Wild Wild West, I Robot and Six Degrees of Separation.

7) James Todd Smith a.k.a. LL Cool Jay - In Krush Groove he couldn’t live without his radio, but he has proven otherwise as he has risen to stay on top of his game in the cross section of Hollywood and HollyHood. The man who has been around (as a recording artist) longer than the likes of Public Enemy, EPMD and The Beastie Boys still has a grip on some roles in Hollywood. One of the very few recording artists to star in his own sitcom (In The House), he is still recording and filming. Talk about a legend! Check out In Too Deep, Halloween H2O and Deliver Us From Eva.

8) Darryl Mitchell a.k.a. Chill - I am quite positive you didn’t know Chill was part of the Uptown group, Groove B. Chill - back when people were just finding out about Heavy D and The Boyz, Teddy Riley and Al B. Sure!. This rapper-turned-actor has starred in more TV series than any rapper alive (to my knowledge)! An unfortunate accident didn’t stop him from acting either, which makes his feat an even more accomplished one! Check out House Party 1 and 2, The John Larroquette Show and Veronica’s Closet.

9) Calvin Broadus a.k.a. Snoop Dogg - This man is another multi-talented, everywhere seen type of guy that exudes attention in whatever he is involved in! His laid-back persona and pimp talk is always ready to be displayed whether film, commercial, records or video! Check out Soul Plane (ok, maybe not Soul Plane), Starsky and Hutch, Baby Boy and The Wash.

10) Earl Simmons a.k.a. DMX - Dark Man X has made a transition from rapper to actor, though his recent ‘driving’ and alleged ‘drug use’ may have hampered his ability to directly compete for the jobs that some on this list are getting. Check out Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds and Belly.

I know most of you are screaming, "But what about Tupac?" I do agree, but since his death short-changed his career, I thought I would keep it to the ones I listed.

And for real fans of rappers/actors, I am sure a few of you will ask about Mos Def, who I feel is the second best rapper/actor behind Mark Wahlberg. For those who don’t know, Mos Def was actually an actor (God Bless The Child- 1988) before he became a rapper, so he wasn’t included on my list…

On a sad note, I feel T.I. was next up on this list. Hopefully he has great lawyers, otherwise…"

Kanye West to make beats for Mos Def's new album, word. They still haven't made that SUPERBOMB that they could make... I mean, '2 Words' was awesome, of course, but Freeway was also on it (not that that's a bad thing) but they need to make a jem that only features Mighty Mos and the Vuitton Don:


Mos Def has tapped longtime friend Kanye West to work on his upcoming album under his new label contract with Downtown Recordings.

According to Billboard, Mos, who recently signed to Downtown, has begun to work on the disc and has enlisted the Louis Vuitton Don to produce several tracks. The two have worked together numerous times in the past including Mos lending guest verses to Ye on the tracks "Two Words" from The College Dropout and "Drunk and Hot Girls" from Kanye's latest set Graduation. Kanye has also laid tracks for the Brooklyn-bred lyricist previously including "Sunshine" from Mos' The New Danger.

Downtown label head John Deutsch said the imprint, whose roster includes Gnarls Barkley and Kevin Michael, has no plans of re-releasing Mos Def's latest offering, Tru3 Magic. The disc received virtually no promotion from Geffen Records and in result only managed to move 86,000 units.

In addition to working on the new disc, Mos also is said to have eight movie roles in the works through 2009, including a part in the Danny Glover-directed film "Toussaint."

In related news, according to Entertainment Tonight, in wake of the passing of his mother Dr. Donda West, Kanye has cancelled his performance at the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which was scheduled to tape yesterday (November 15). The show will air without Ye on December 4 on CBS.

I ALWAYS will pay attention to the unfolding of the Tupac/Biggie assassination story, until they assassinate me (ha ha, not funny, but probably true. Peep this though):


A former associate of Sean "Diddy" Combs filed a motion to keep the Bad Boy honcho from passing out FBI interrogation records in which it appears that an informant somehow links the associate to the shooting of the late Tupac Shakur.

James Sabatino once worked as a consultant for Bad Boy Entertainment. As previously reported, Sabatino filed a $19 million lawsuit against Puff last month, alleging the mogul never paid him for certain B.I.G. tracks recorded right before the late rapper's death.

Now, Sabatino, who is incarcerated in a Pennsylvania prison on unrelated fraud charges, is accusing Puff of going on a smear campaign, distributing FBI reports that make Sabatino look suspect concerning Pac's murder, according to the Associated Press.

Reports detail an FBI interview that took place more than six years after Tupac's death, wherein an unidentified source who knew both the rapper and Sabatino claimed he was there at Quad Studios when the shooting took place in 1994.

The informant went on to say that Sabatino didn't appear to be fazed when they heard gunshots from the studio. And when a bloodied Pac appeared, Sabatino yelled, "Get that piece of @#!* out of here!''

Tupac was due in court the very next day for the verdict in his sexual assault case. According to the informant, Sabatino said the rapper needed to be "dealt with" before he went to jail.

Tupac survived that shooting, but was shot and killed two years later in a drive-by in Las Vegas.

Sabatino has always maintained his innocence.

"He had nothing to do with either of the shootings--Tupac Shakur or Christopher Wallace, who he considered a dear friend,'' said Renee Morrison, a spokeswoman for Sabatino's Florida-based company, Sound Storm Entertainment.

Two FBI investigation records are included in the filing. In one, the informant is described as someone who met Tupac through Sabatino. In the other, the informant is described as someone who met Diddy through Sabatino.

Sabatino has never been charged with any wrongdoing in Tupac's shooting.

Jigga and Weezy perform 'Hello Brooklyn' before Jadakiss plays himself (I wish I could show you, but the video has been removed. Hmmmmmmm.... read the story instead):




"Later during the evening Jadakiss, the latest addition to the Roc-A-Fella roster, hit the stage and Green Lantern threw on the instrumental to Diddy's "It's All About The Benjamins."

"It's all about the benjamins, baby," Kiss warmed up before deciding, "I don't wanna do that shit. That's Puff's song. I know you got one of my shits, Green." After an awkward silence and looking through his records, the DJ then put on "The Champ Is Here." Bad choice!

"I don't know them lyrics, man," Kiss said. "How you gon' put me on the spot like that? They don't want that. Just finish up the show." Hilarious!

Could this be revenge? A little over two years ago, Kiss did Green dirty when he taped their conversation discussing Jada's 50 Cent diss song. The convo was later put on a DVD without Green's knowledge, forcing him to resign from his post as Eminem's DJ. Well... on purpose or not, Green got him good."

Damn! That's wack as fuck. How Jada not going to do 'All About the Benjamins'? That was the biggest song he ever was on. Fucking egos.

"Superman that Hoe" is fucking disgusting. Soulja Boy is a plague. I can't wait for it to fall off. He already is. Fly-by-night mawfuckas... no longevity, no integrity... I'll show you how to do this, son! Read this ruckus:


Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month, you know that a chain of e-mails was sent to explain Soulja Boy's much discussed line, "Superman That H-e." The e-mail described "Superman That H-e" as shooting a load on a chick's back while she sleeps and then putting a sheet on it so she wakes up with a freaking cape. Whatever loser came up with it probably never gets laid. SB recently cleared up the rumors.

"Superman is just a dance. I heard about the e-mails going around and...basically, they trying to just stop my shine," he told BET. "I mean, 'Superman,' 'Crank That' [is] old. You can tell whoever wrote that was intending to stop my shine. The way they wrote words...it was professionally typed. Ain't nobody doing nothing like that. At the end of the day, they just came too late with the rumor."
