Today was the exclusive BK Corporation screening of the new Warner Bros. film, Superman Returns, and I graciously accepted the invite to attend. Not at all did I expect for the movie to be enjoyable, but contrary to my own belief, it was actually a great flick. Need a quick synopsis? Fine. The Man of Steel (Brandon Routh) has returned to the city of Metropolis after a five year hiatus, just in time to try and pick up the pieces with his old flame, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Meanwhile, the evil Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) and his goons are working on their whole take-over-the-world plan. The acting was acceptable and there were lots of little jokes along the way to keep smiles on the audience’s faces. What I found funny was seeing James Marsden in a DC Comics film, because we all know him as Cyclops from the X-men movies which are all based on Marvel comics. Aren’t those two companies rivals? Maybe that’s why he had such an miserably short part in X3. Anyway, Superman Returns is chock-full of computer generated excitement and there is a nice little surprise waiting for fans of the hero. With a bit of a cliffhanger ending, I guess you can expect to see a sequel in the near future, but for now you can catch the first in theaters June 28th.

One of the greatest rappers of all time, The Notorious B.I.G., will be praised this year with the release of his first action figure. The toy, which stands nine inches in height, is being manufactured by the Mezco Toy Corporation and can be purchased in the fall and pre-ordered this summer. Now I know it’s just a toy, but they didn’t have to give him clown shoes and I’m pretty sure Biggie’s hands weren’t bigger than his head. Maybe if it was a Michael Clarke Duncan toy, but not Big.

Today I celebrate Busta Rhymes and his climb to the top of the Billboard charts. He’s already sold over 209,000 copies of his latest album, The Big Bang. That’s a major improvement from the 62,000 his last CD, Ain’t Safe No More, sold. So, I’m extremely happy for my fellow Jamerican and since Jigga is saying I can’t pop Cris’ (and hell, I can’t afford it) I’ll take a sip of Hawaiian Punch in his honor.

The video above was made by me, I’m proud to say. God, I’m so multi-talented!

Here are a couple of flicks of our Heat stars returning to Miami after winning the finals and becoming NBA Champions! I’m incredibly proud of those boys. They’ve been working hard for so long and if anyone deserved that title, it was them. LET’S GO HEAT!

Ms. Jackson (yep, I’m nasty) has been busy in the studio working hard at her new album 20 Years Old. Of course, she has had the assistance of her dwarf-like boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, aka “Ya’ll Know What Dis Is”, and he’s been supplying her with fire. While Janet preps for her next release, rumors are circling that the album will feature a duet with Mariah Carey. The two singers have been hinting at the possibility of a collabo for a while. Since JD was such a big participant in the making of Mariah’s Emancipation of Mimi album and with Janet being his Amazon love, there is a strong chance that the song will happen.

”The closer I get to that idea, the more I know where it should be at. It’s feeling like it’s gonna happen,” Dupri explained. “Please believe that. I got a mean idea, so look for it. We definitely gonna do a repackage on [Janet’s 20 Years Old] once it comes out. Hopefully it’s successful and people buy into it, then I’m going back in the studio,”

Here’s Janet’s new track: Call On Me (feat. Nelly)

Whoever told Nelly he can sing is going to hell in first class. Anyway, since I got them in the same topic, I wanna know why everyone was giving Ms. Jackson so much heat when she gained a little weight, but I didn’t here anyone say shit when Mariah looked like this.

I’m excited to say that Tia Mowry of Sister, Sister fame is back on-screen and looking better than ever. The younger of the famous TV twin duo nabbed the starring role in, The Game, an upcoming sitcom set to launch on the premiere of The CW Network (aka the country’s way of getting races together by merging nigga shows with white people bullshit). The series, which is a spin-off to UPN’s Girlfriends, follows the life of Melanie Barrett (Mowry) and her effort to cope with the hardships of being an NFL player’s sweetheart. Other stars include, Aldis Hodge, Jennifer Baxter, Hosea Chanchez, and Wendy Racquel Robinson. You know Wendy, the bitch who’s been in more black straight-to-video movies than Vivica Fox. Yeah, her. Audiences were given a taste of what the show had to offer during a recent episode of Girlfriends. I actually laughed out loud a bunch of times. I don’t do that often, so they’ve made a good impression on me. Like I said, I’m thrilled to see Tia doing a comedy series again, but I do fret for her sister. Tamera Mowry had a recurring role on Lifetime’s Strong Medicine, but the show went off air in February. Aww, she was my favorite, too. Oh well! Shit happens.

The Game will debut on CW in September.

Atlanta’s R&B diva, Ciara, has officially shaken off the remnant thoughts of her ex, Bow Clown, and moved on to continue sharpening up her musical craft. The smell of a new album has begun to swirl around the air and the Internet due to a new track called “Get Up” which has been leaked onto the web just recently. The record features Houston rapper and suspected HIV patient, Chamillionare, and production by Ciara’s mentor and round friend Jazze Pha. Some fans seem to be mildly disappointed by the effort given, believing that it sounds too similar to her previous songs and I agree. Grab a cup of “1, 2, Step”, mix in some “Hotline”, marinate it in a little “Lose Control” and you got this shit.

Give it some time. It might grow on ya!

The once bubble-gum pop mouseketeer, Justin Timberlake, is ready to offer the world his second solo project. The album is titled FutureSex/LoveSounds–don’t worry, I don’t get it either–and Justin’s first single “Sexyback” will be flowing over radiowaves by July 7. The track was co-produced by Timberlake and his partners Timbaland and Nate Hills. Additional formulation has been given by JAWbreakers, a duo consisting of Justin and Black Eyed Peas leader, will.i.am, who expressed his obvious excitement for the album to Billboard.com.

“I can’t explain it, that’s how dope it is,” he said with a laugh. “He just surprised me again. I was surprised that I was even going to like Justin Timberlake. Then he turned me into a fan, and I’ve become a fan. That means you are so talented that you are changing people’s vocabulary.”

FutureSex/LoveSounds should be ready for release on September 12.

A few days back it was announced that Fraggle Rock…I mean Jay-Z was starting a boycott against the famous french champagne, Cristal. The stink was derived from a few comments made by Frederic Rouzaud, the managing director of Cristal, about the promotion of their champagne in Hip-Hop. Well, the company now has a bit to say about Joe Camel…I mean Jay’s anti-Cris’ movement.

“A house like Louis Roederer would not have existed since 1776 without being totally open and tolerant to all forms of culture and art, including the most recent musical and fashion styles which — like hiphop — keep us in touch with modernity,”

Sounds kind of contradictory to the first comment to me. Whatever, apparently the whole boycott thing isn’t working out for Beyonce’s Purse Watcher…I mean Jay-Z. Damn!

Ok, I got a new question.

What the hell is going on with Olivia and her singing career? It doesn’t seem like her boy 50 gives two shits about her album ever hitting the streets. Think about it, she’s been signed to G-Unit Records for close to three years, yet they haven’t released a CD for her. On the other hand, Mobb Deep signed with them niggas last year and they got a new album out and about 4 videos under the label. Olivia had that record “Twist It” that came out not too long ago and the video was even voted onto 106 & Shit. Then there was another sad ass excuse for a single called “So Sexy” and I wouldn’t be suprised if you haven’t heard it. If you have heard it you probably thought it was Ashanti. Both tracks were supposed to be featured on her album Behind Closed Doors, which was scheduled to come out in the fall of 2005. Well, them doors must be locked up pretty damn tight bitch, because we haven’t heard boo about it since. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is the woman had two attempts at stepping into the spotlight for herself and then all of sudden she’s back to singing hooks for 50 while the rest of the clique has threesomes with groupies. Banks that means you, dumbass.
