Random News Shit: Entertainment Edition

1) 'Takers' Claims #1 Spot at the Box Office
When the numbers were first released, "Takers" was #2 to "The Last Exorcism" by about $300,000, but when the true numbers came out "Takers" was actually on top by about $150,000. Either way, in my mind, "Takers" was #1 regardless because it and "The Last Exorcism" made basically the same amount of money despite being shown in 668 less theaters nationwide. Per theater, "Takers" killed them.

And with that being said, I have no interest in seeing this movie. No real reason, just not interested.

2) Another Drake Album In 2010?
Slow down guys. It was a miracle that Drake's first album dropped at all, so let's not get our hopes up that the least album dropping label on Earth is gonna clean up its act and give us 2 in 1 year. It ain't happening. Cash Money, how about y'all focus on getting Nicki Minaj's album out this year and leave everything else alone?? Baby steps fellas.

3) Jay-Z & Yankees Team For Exclusive Apparel
And just when you thought Jay-Z had run out of ideas to make more money, BOOM! This apparel will ONLY be sold at Yankees Stadium and only through Sept. 14th. It's a damn shame I don't have family in New York anymore. Hmmm, my ex-girlfriend did tell me she's going to New York next week, though. I wonder if she'd grant me one last wish?? Fingers crossed.

Take a look at some of the goods courtesy of RapRadar. Some of that stuff would go great with the Hov "All Black Everything" Forces I don't own.

4) Full 'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Announced
Last week I told you The Situation was gonna be on the show (though I still wish it was gonna be Snooki), but here's a quick rundown of the rest of the cast:

Brandy Norwood, David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Grey, Kurt Warner, Margaret Cho, Kyle Massey, Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox, Florence Henderson, Bristol Palin and Michael Bolton.

Man, where's the Erin Andrews and Nicole Schegudgthzyrs?? What is DWTS without the hot ass??

5) Trick Daddy Working On 'www.thug.com 2'
The original 1998 classic still goes hard so thing is welcomed news. Hopefully this will help him get his mojo back, though his last album Finally Famous was pretty good. Unfortunately, there's no release date yet.

6) Ruff Ryders Records Is Now Ruff Ryders Indy
Look guys, it's over. The Ruff Ryder brand is gone, and it's never coming back. Never. Ever.

If they wanted to launch a new label, why didn't they just do it with a whole new name?? It's time to move on.

Brandy - Too Little, Too Late (feat. Ne-Yo)

Here's a new one from Brandy with the assistance of Ne-Yo.

Brandy - Too Little, Too Late (feat. Ne-Yo)

Lovely duet! Ne-Yo is that dude and Brandy does her this too. Is Brandy coming out with some new ish?? Maybe its a leftover from 2008's Human, but who knows?? I might need to do some research.

This Week In Flops 12/9/08

Its starting to look a lot like Christmas! If you live in FL like me and don't really feel the weather change, then you know when its December when 1,000 albums drop every Tuesday lol. Anyway, I got a laundry list after Common so check me out!

"That Universal Mind Control, now move your behind."

I just got this album yesterday so I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet so this will be strictly about what I realistically think this album is gonna do, and not the suckiness I've heard about it lol. Okay, so obviously the single U.M.C. with Pharrell hasn't done that great (if it had this album would've still been called Invincible Summer...and came out in the summer). At the same time, he is Common so I think that's good for at least 60,000-70,000, just off name and with the ever decreasing December bump, I'm gonna say U.M.C. debuts in the top 10 with 80k-95k sold.

Look, its Ray-J's sister! lol. Okay, now I like Brandy and I always have all the way back with Moesha and even Thea. With that being said, its over baby girl. I think Brandy's career effectively ended when she 1) got in that car crash and 2) let Ray-J get more famous than her. I'll be honest, I don't know much about this project, but I know its not gonna do well. I mean I don't even know what the single is, let alone actually hearing it. I'm gonna throw a wild one out there and say 30k-45k.

Poor Musiq, I bet he really thought going commercial was gonna take him to the next level lol. I like Musiq, and I like that Radio song, but its just not Musiq Soulchild. We don't wanna hear that track from Musiq Soulchild and see him walking around with a Mohawk like the rest of these followers. Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't know this was dropping today so I'm gonna pull a wild card again and say 20k-40k

Who waits for their 5th album to do the self-titled thing?? I thought that was strictly reserved for uncreative debuts?? Oh well, I don't know much about this album either so I'm just gonna assume it does bad and say 15k-30k.

I always have sympathy for old rappers, who haven't been hot in nearly a decade or maybe more, that still try to put albums out (i.e. EPMD, Rev. Run, KRS-One, etc...). I don't really know the logic in it, but I can't help but feel bad for them. I have no hope for this album so I'm gonna say less than 10k.
