The Daily Buzz For April 18



Details Emerge About New Rihanna Movie ‘Home’
Superstar  Rihanna is gearing up for the big screen in new movie ‘Home’.
As reported, the DreamWorks production will see the diva release a themed soundtrack in support of the film -which she also stars in- later this year.

Ahead of the new music, DreamWorks have released a fresh synopsis and “prequel video” for the post-apocalyptic-alien-invasion-buddy-comedy.

WATCH:

 ‘Home’ Synopsis:
“When Earth is taken over by the overly-confident Boov, an alien race in search of a new place to call home, all humans are promptly relocated, while the Boov get busy efficiently reorganizing the planet. But when one resourceful girl, Tip, (Rihanna) manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov by the name of Oh (Jim Parsons). Equally stubborn and set in their ways, these two fugitives realize there’s a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime. Good thing they have a flying car.
”Interestingly, Jennifer Lopez voices the role of Rihanna’s mother.



Former NFL Quarterback McNabb arrested
Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb has been released from an Arizona jail after serving a one-day sentence for a DUI arrest late last year.
Records released by West Mesa Justice Court show the 37-year-old McNabb served his time Wednesday and was released Thursday morning. He was at the Lower Buckeye Jail in Phoenix.
McNabb was arrested Dec. 15 on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. He was pulled over after going 81 mph in a 65-mph zone on the Loop 101 near McDowell Road, according to court records.

He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI on March 27, and nine days of his sentence were suspended in exchange for his participation in a treatment program. He paid nearly $1,500 in fines.
"I have had other high-profile athletes who have been incarcerated with no problems and this latest athlete follows that same pattern," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
McNabb's lawyer Stephen Benedetto didn't immediately return a call Thursday seeking comment.

McNabb did not discuss the matter on his live NBC Sports radio show Thursday and the organization declined to comment. He left the Tempe station an hour early and drove past the 3TV camera without commenting.

Forbes “Lie” Hip Hop’s Wealthiest Artist 2014
Diddy the mouth breather takes the top spot for Forbes annual Hip Hop’s wealthiest artist for 2014, they are saying that he is close to the Billion dollar mark with an increase of $120 Million…  I guess with Revolt T.V. that added more to his stock…. Check out the rest of the list inside.

2. Andre “Dr. Dre” Young ($550 million)
The California-bred superproducer leapfrogs Jay Z on this year’s list, fueled by the runaway success of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, which he cofounded with record executive Jimmy Iovine in 2008.

3. Shawn “Jay Z” Carter ($520 million)
Megadeals like his $204 million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live Nation in 2008 provide Jay Z’s fortune with firm footing. But the bulk of its growth this year comes from new ventures.

4. Bryan “Birdman” Williams ($160 million)
Birdman’s number would be over $300 million if he didn’t share his fortune with brother Ronald “Slim” Williams, with whom he cofounded Cash Money Records two decades ago.

5. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson ($140 million)
One of the most successful rappers of the past decade, 50 actually owes most of his fortune to his $100 million haul from the sale of VitaminWater in 2007.

Forbes has already been proven to be a liar. Diddy even said their figures were wrong. So I will take this with a grain of salt.



Pharrell's Hat Is Now Pop Art On Display At Alexandria Gallery
"Happy" by Diane Blackwell is on display now at The Art League Gallery.Almost as ubiquitous as Pharrell's anthem to merriment is his now-iconic oversized hat, which looks like a cross between a Park Ranger's hat and that of Curious George's handler.

And now Pharrell's hat has reached its pop culture zenith as it's now the subject of an Andy Warhol-like painting that's part of a pop art exhibit at The Art League Gallery in Alexandria. According to a release, the exhibit is part of a celebration of The Art League's 60th anniversary, in which they asked artists to "channel Pop Artists of the 1960s" for an exhibition.

The Pharrell piece, entitled "Happy," by Diane Blackwell "[celebrates] the iconic movement with a modern twist." "Happy," along with the rest of the pieces in the exhibition, "[explores] the methods and themes of the pop artists from the 1960s inside the cultural and artistic world of 2014." No word if there's any painting of Lady Gaga being puked on at SXSW, but it seems like the exhibition would be incomplete without one.

Anyway, the Pop Art exhibition is on display at The Art League (105 North Union Street, Alexandria, Va.) now through May 5.



Lady Gaga’s Un-Retouched Versace Photos Leak
It’s no secret that companies doctor up their photos before launching an ad campaign, but the un-Photoshopped pics from Lady Gaga's Versace shoot are a bit surprising.
While the finished products all show the “Just Dance” diva with a glowing complexion and sultry eyes, it turns out the raw images were pretty heavily processed.
Gaga’s natural skin appeared to be washed out and she had some dramatic dark circles under her eyes that made her look drastically different than the edited pics.
Adding to insult to injury, Lady Gaga has been accused of wasting 365,000 gallons of water by filling the huge Neptune swimming pool at the historic Hearst Castle for her “GUY” video during a California drought. However, her rep dismissed the claim as “a made up story.”

SHOCKER: X-Men director Bryan Singer accused of sexually abusing underage male child actor and giving him alcohol and drugs during 'sordid Hollywood sex ring' parties
Just a month before his next film X-Men: Days of Future Past is set to release, director Bryan Singer has been accused of child molestation.

According to documents filed in Hawaii, 31-year-old Michael Egan claims Singer used his power in the entertainment industry to sexually exploit him when he was an underage teen actor striking it out in Los Angeles.
Now Egan is suing the director, for $300,000 for the 'catastrophic psychological and emotional injuries' he says he suffered, the documents filed Wednesday explain.

Representing Egan is attorney Jeff Herman, who plans on filing more sex abuse cases against film industry execs soon.
'Hollywood has a problem with the sexual exploitation of children. This is the first of many cases I will be filing to give these victims a voice and to expose the issue,' Mr Herman said in a press release.
In the suit, Egan claims the abuse started when he  was 14 or 15 and moved to Los Angeles with his family to start his acting career.

It was in LA that he was introduced to another Hollywood powerplayer, Marc Collins-Rector and his lover Chad Shackley, he claims. Egan was invited to one of Collins-Rector's 'notorious' parties held at his home, dubbed the M&C Estate in Encino, California.
According to the suit, the parties were well-known in Hollywood and attended by investors in Collin-Rector's company who lured young boys as part of a 'sordid sex ring'. Collins-Rector eventually faced justice himself, admitting in court in 2004 that he lured five minors across state lines for sexual purposes.
While these parties allegedly 'featured sexual contact between adult males and the many teenage boys', Egan maintains he 'never freely' consented to the advances.

It was two or three months after Collins-Rector began allegedly abusing Egan that he was introduced to Singer at one of the parties.
Egan was in the pool when Collins-Rector approached him and ordered him out to hug Singer.
Egan was nude, as per the rules of the house pool, so when he hugged Singer the director allegedly 'grabbed his bare buttocks'.
Egan claims the three then went to a jacuzzi where he was ordered to sit on Collins-Rector's lap before being passed off to Singer.

Egan claims Singer brought him an alcoholic beverage, even though he was under age, and then promised him a part in one of the upcoming movies he was directing. He spoke about the people at the party, saying 'this group' controls Hollywood.
According to the lawsuit, Singer told Egan he was 'sexy' and went on to masturbate the underage boy and perform oral sex on him. The director then told Egan to do the same to him, but the then-minor says he resisted.
That allegedly caused Singer to push the boy's head under water. When he finally got up for air, Singer again demanded he perform oral sex and when he refused for the second time, Singer took him out of the pool and forcibly sodomized him, Egan says.
The suit also refrences two trips Egan went on with Singer to Hawaii when he was 17 years old.
Egan stayed at Paul Mitchell's resort in Kailua, Hawaii where he says Singer provided on multiple occasions cocaine,  xanax, rohypnol, as well as other drugs and alcohol.
He even promised him a part in an X-Men movie he was directing.
Singer first started directing the comic book adaptations in 2000. In 1999, when the Hawaii trips happened, the director would have been around 33 years old.

Egan and his lawyer are scheduled to hold a press conference about the new lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles.

They've filed in Hawaii, however, since the statue of limitations to file a suit is longer there and would have expired next week. This is just MESSY!

Pigalle x Nike Preview New Air Force 1 Collaboration
High fashion and Nikes on your feet… c’mon guys everyone is doing it. And, we love it, so it’s no surprise that Nike x Pigalle’s upcoming collection is a must cop for the team. This time the fashion house has a new Air Force 1 Low and Nike Air Force 1 High set to be released. Both have a simple but classic look and are set to released on April 26. The exact retailers have not yet been announce but you can guess that it will be only a select bunch.

Nike and PPP come together to offer a new take on a timeless classic

April 26 marks the release of a collection born from a mutual love of basketball that celebrates the games ability to unite a community of diverse backgrounds together under one love. Nike partners with PIGALLE, also known as the Pain O Chokolat crew, to create a collection that represents an authentic lifestyle of basketball. A classic uniform of sport, the iconic Nike Air Force 1 Hi and Lo are paired with a tank, short, basketball, and hat to complete a look that represents a community committed to the game. Refusing to let the boundaries of urban living keep them away from play, the Nike x PPP Collection combines sport heritage and style allowing you to move seamlessly from the court into everyday life with ease.
Building on a decade-long relationship between Nike and Pain O Chokolat, the Nike x PPP (Pain O ChoKolat, PIGALLE Paris, Pompon) Collection brings the spirit of Paris’s creative class to sportswear. Inspired by the patina that occurs over time on a well used basketball court, scuffed surfaces from hours of play and rusted metal hoops that surrender to the elements are interpreted in varnished and tie dyed treatments that give the collection an aged look.

Two versions of the Air Force 1 — one AF1 Hi and one AF1 Low — give the iconic bestseller a unique treatment. Intended for lifestyle wear, fine leathers are applied to the classic AF1 silhouette. Crafted using techniques common to the construction of menswear brogues, excess padding is removed, leather laces are added, and an oversized gold metal eyelet accents the workman boot look. The leather uppers are finished with a waxed coating that will take on a look that’s exclusive to the wearer as it breaks down over time with everyday wear. Finally the transparent outsoles reveal a geometric pattern — a coach’s diagram of strategic basketball maneuvers.

Founding member of the PPP crew, Stéphane Ashpool played professional basketball back in the day. Ashpool currently coaches at the community basketball court he petitioned to build, and has a personal connection to the Nike Air Force 1 as the shoe was his footwear of choice on the court.

“I like the fact the AF1 was released the year I was born —1982. I love the little details like that. I wanted to take the shoe and bring it to life. When you put the shoe on you see the story, so I wanted to relate the patina, the way of dyeing and the texture together so it has the feeling of life.”
The Nike x PPP Apparel Collection, comprising of two tank tops, two pairs of shorts, a hat and a ball was created for the game to the crew’s specifications. When asked about the details, Ashpool explains, “We cut the bottom of the short for a handmade old school look. These pieces are made to be comfy. It’s based on what we wear.”

Using color to signify the characteristics of the game, the Nike x PPP Apparel Collection indicates the rivalry between competing teams. Special tie dye treatments to the cotton shorts and tanks create fades and deliberate distressing that complement the shoes — perfect imperfections that bring different eras of the game together. A two toned black and white basketball is a visual play on the senses, alternating colors as its spins in the air during play. And the cap, embroidered with the iconic PPP logo, a P enclosed within a diamond shape, is the ultimate symbol of a community bonded through sport.

The product of a movement that’s based on movement, the Nike x PPP Collection has a narrative all of its own. Releasing in select Nike retail destinations and Nike retail partner locations globally, The Nike x PPP Collection will be available starting on April 26th.
