Chris Tucker Confirmed For “Last Friday”

Ice Cube got fans excited late last year, when he revealed that he was planning a new film in his classic Friday film series … and was reaching out to all the original cast, including Chris Tucker. At the time, things were in the planning stages. However, in March, Ice Cube revealed that the development of the fourth film was moving along, but there was one snag, Chris Tucker was still unconfirmed. The rapper said he and Chris had conversations about him reprising the role of Smokey, but he was not confirmed. Now, this week Ice Cube has confirmed, that Chris Tucker is a go. Check out what Ice Cube had to say

“I’m still writing [the screenplay]. I’m still in the process, I’m deep into it… [The title is] Last Friday. I want [Chris Tucker] to be in it. He’s given us every indication that he’s gonna be in it. Until he shows up on set, you never know. That’s really how it goes. I’m almost finished with the script, so as soon as we can finish the script, fast motion on it.”

Mike Epps, Rickey Smiley, Kat Williams, and Tiny Lister aka DeBo are also confirmed to reprise their roles in Last Friday.

Matt Barnes arrested in Manhattan Beach, Ca..

Matt Barnes is currently a free agent. So news of him being arrested this evening in Manhattan Beach, Ca. might just take a few $$ off whatever contract he gets from free agency. Barnes was arrested for an outstanding traffic warrant- a pretty substantial one with a warrant worth $26,000 – and for resisting arrest.

According to our sources … Matt was walking in Manhattan Beach around 8:30PM when he was first approached by Manhattan Beach PD — and when officers ran a check on him they discovered a massive $26,000 unpaid traffic warrant for driving on a suspended license.

We’re told Barnes made threats against one of the officers — which is why he got slapped with the felony for resisting.
If Matt was simply walking, what made the officers stop him to begin with? Interesting case. Stay tuned for details.

Considering Basketball Wives is currently filming, I wonder if this will be included

"The Hobbit" Officially Announces Three-Part Film Plans

Sending Middle-Earth fans into a frenzy, Peter Jackson has confirmed "The Hobbit" has officially become a trilogy after announcing on Monday (July 30) plans for a third film instead of the originally scheduled two.
Sharing the news through his facebook page, the franchise's director explained, "We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance."
The epic fantasy-adventure tale will begin this December when the first installment titled "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" opens with the follow-up film dubbed "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" due in December 2013.
Now, the pair of highly-anticipated flicks will be capped off by a third motion picture which is expected to hit theaters sometime in Summer 2014.

Check out Peter Jackson’s announcement in it's entirety below:
"It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie – and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.’

We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance. The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.

So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three.

It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, ”a tale that grew in the telling.”

Tennessee Titans O.J Murdock DEAD Committed SUICIDE!

A Tennessee Titans football player has died aged just 25 after shooting himself while sitting in his car.
Wide receiver O.J. Murdock is the sixth NFL star to commit suicide in the last two years, a chilling trend which has sparked debate over the potential damage playing football can inflict on the brain.
The player was found in his car outside his old high school in Tampa, Florida around 8.30 on Monday morning, in critical condition after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Doctors at Tampa General Hospital were unable to save him and he died just over two hours later.
Murdock had his whole life ahead of him, and faced the prospect of becoming a multi-millionaire through pursuing a sporting career.
Promising: The 25-year-old signed with the Titans a year ago but tragically never played a game for the team. Here his is pictured during a game for Fort Hays State
At around 3.30am Murdock had sent a cryptic message to his Fort Hays State receivers coach Al McCray.
'It was like, "Coach, I appreciate everything you've done for me and my family,"' he told the Tampa Bay Times.

'At the end of the text he said, "I apologize" I figured he's apologizing because he texted me so early.'
Mr McCray said he had spoken to the 25-year-old just days before his death and that he had seemed in good spirits, excited about going to see his mother.
'The people in Hays [Kansas], gosh, they love him so much,' he added. 'If he wanted to run for mayor, he would've won in a landslide.'

The coach continued: 'Our homecoming game his senior year, the fire marshal calls our athletic director to say: "Listen, we can't allow any more people to come into this game, we're at capacity." Our A.D. was like, "No, you're not. Let em in." That's just the impact that kid had here.
'It's hard, it really is because he was such a good kid. He was lazy in the classroom in high school, and of course he messed up at South Carolina, but you're talking about a kid who was on his mom's couch for two years.
'He got the grades he needed and he came up here and he had one dream, one goal: "I'm going to come out here and I'm going to play at a high level and I'll get to the National Football League." And the kid did it. He did it.'

The 25-year-old star, who was single at the time of his death, signed with the Titans a year ago but tragically never played a game for the team.
As a senior at Middleton High School in 2005, Murdock was rated the 10th-best wide receiver recruit in the nation by Rivals.com.

He signed with South Carolina, but played in only four games, making one catch, after red shirting his first season. He was arrested for shoplifting at a Florida department store during that 2006 season and suspended.
Murdock transferred to Pearl River Community College in Mississippi and then to Division II Fort Hays State in Kansas. As a senior in 2010, he had 60 catches for 1,290 yards and 12 touchdowns.
That earned him an invitation to the NFL scouting combine. After going undrafted, he was signed by the Titans last summer but spent the entire 2011 season on injured reserve after hurting his right Achilles early in training camp.
In May 2012 Junior Seau (left) of the San Diego Chargers, died of a gunshot wound to the chest. Dave Duerson (right) shot himself in February 2011
The standout high school player missed Titans practice twice over the weekend for 'personal reasons', but the club said they were stunned by his suicide.
In a statement they said: 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of O.J. Murdock’s death this morning,' the Titans said in a statement.

'In his brief time here, a number of our players, coaches and staff had grown close to O.J., and this is a difficult time for them.
'He spent the last year battling back from an Achilles injury as he prepared for this year’s training camp. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they try to cope with this tragedy.'
Titans general manager Ruston Weber said: 'We were concerned initially when O.J. didn't report on the 27th. But we were able to make contact with him and he assured us everything was OK and he would be in here on Sunday. He didn't make it on Sunday.'

Wade Belak hanged himself in August 2011. In April Ray Easterling, a one-time Atlanta Falcons star, shot himself at home after struggling to cope with dementia
Murdock becomes the sixth former NFL star to kill himself in the past two years

Readers in closing because his IMPORTANT TO STRESS; If you know someone in your life is hurting, do all you can to get them help. Extremely sad situation.

Oprah Winfrey Sets A Fan Straight On Twitter

Don’t mess with Oprah! The reigning talk show queen has famously used vast amounts of her money to help out those less fortunate (like when she opened a school for girls in South Africa). However, at the same time, she’s also been criticized for seemingly not doing enough to support the causes of less fortunate Black Americans in her own country. But when a Twitter user had the nerve to finger-point at Oprah on Sunday, he found himself on the receiving end of a backhand tweet from the media mogul herself. Check out how it went down

Too often, we as a black community look to our media leaders and the wealthy to single-handedly fix the problems we face. When the truth actually is — it’s all our responsibility! We all must dedicate our time, talents, and treasures (that’s if you can afford it) to the cause — no one is exempt.

We are all in a position to give back, because your worst day will always be someone else’s best day. Also, money is not the answer to our problems in Black America. It’s our minds — and our lack to evaluate them. It starts with an education in order to evaluate our minds.
