Beyonce, Pitbull & More Lend Voices For Animated Film

The next big animated film is here; created by the same folks at the equally-celebrity filled Ice Age series, Epic will feature the voices of King Bey & Pitbull, along with Colin Farrell, Steven Tyler and Aziz Ansari. Beyonce spoke on getting the lead role in the film, which premiered May 24th:

“I’ve always imagined being in an animated film. I’ve always wanted to be a queen…Queen Tara is very important in Epic. She’s preserved the beauty of her natural world and the safety of her people.”

You can check out the synopsis of the movie below as well (above is the official trailer).

Epic is a 3D CG action-adventure comedy that reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of Ice Age and Rio, Epic tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When a teen age girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world…and ours.

“20/20,” released Tuesday, March 19, is Timberlake’s first album since 2006’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” With “20/20” on course for an 800,000-plus start, it will easily notch Timberlake’s best sales week ever, bypassing “FutureSex’s” debut of 684,000 (according to Nielsen SoundScan).

“20/20” will also instantly become the year’s top selling album, eclipsing Mumford & Sons’ “Babel,” which has sold 631,000 this year.

Seven Shot At Chicago Club Where Lil’ Mouse Was Performing

From The Chicago Tribune:

Seven people were shot during a rap album release party at Mr. G’s Entertainment Center in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side early Thursday morning, authorities say.

At least one gunman opened fire after a fight broke out shortly after 1 a.m. as the party at the club at 87th Street and Ashland Avenue was winding down, according to Police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro. It wasn’t clear if any of the wounded were the shooters, he said.

Six of those shot went to hospitals on their own, police said.

Responding officers heard people shouting “They’re shooting!” and “I’m shot,” police said. The officers discovered several patrons shot at the club.

Police said the shooting appeared to be gang related, but it wasn’t clear what led to the fight and shooting.

The camera inside the club wasn’t working, and detectives planned on checking footage from a surveillance camera across the street at a phone store, police said.

Rappers Lil’ Mouse and King Samson had been performing at the club, according to Chicago police and a patron.

Stripper Files Lawsuit Against Stadium Night Club After Manager Forced Her To Have Sex To Keep Job

Reports Bossip:

An exotic dancer on Wednesday filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Stadium Club strip club in D.C., claiming that she was coerced into having sex with a manager.

The stripper, Talayna Clements, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in D.C. She accuses the club of sexual discrimination and creating a hostile work environment, among other charges.

“I really felt abused, used, humiliated, afraid,” she said Wednesday during a news conference.

According to her attorney, Clements was pressured by the club’s general manager to have sex with him.
In July, after a party with unnamed NFL players, the general manager asked Clements to have a drink with him and to perform a dance, the attorneys state. While she was dancing for the general manager, he pulled down his pants and had sex with her, the lawsuit alleges.

“The Plaintiff was scared and intimidated. She did not know what to do. So she unwillingly had sex with him for fear of losing her job and her livelihood,” the lawyers claims. “Plaintiff felt humiliated. Plaintiff felt ashamed. She also felt dirty, so she left the Stadium.”

The incidents started when the 28-year-old dancer says she was fired a year ago after undergoing a half-body tattoo of a pistol, a grenade, a switchblade and a machine gun that spelled love.

She was told the tattoo wasn’t in keeping with the club’s standards.

So she appealed and says the general manager replied.

“He asked what was I going to do for the job? To get the job back…I said nothing,” she says.

That allegedly led to the July incident, where the general manager allegedly threatened to fire her if she didn’t have sex with him.

She claims her human rights were violated and that she wasn’t paid but instead had to pay the club.

“We had a tip in fee with ranged for a minimum of $33 to $450,” she says. “I’ve paid over $580 to work on weekends.”

ABC7 tried several times to reach club management about the allegations. But no one is talking.

Harmony Korine (Director Of ‘Spring Breakers’) Tells Hilarious Gucci Mane Story

photo

We’ve already heard one good ‘Spring Breakers’ story involving Gucci Mane, now the movie director tops that one with his own….taken from Vulture:

“In his entourage, everybody smokes weed from the beginning of the day to the end,” explained Korine. “So we’re inside this house in St. Petersburg, and the fucking weed smoke was so insane and Gucci was basically catatonic. I was like, ‘Gucci, you’ve got to have sex with this chick now!’” How did he receive the news? “He wanted her to ride him so he wouldn’t have to do any physical labor.“

For a while, that worked. “So we’re shooting the sequence, and as he is getting fucked, I start to hear snores,” said Korine. “He had literally passed out! And she was riding his dick the whole time. I’d never in my life filmed a sex scene where the dude was sleeping … and she was on top of him for a good 45 minutes.”

And yes, that’s the take that made it into the film. Laughed Korine: “At the end, he woke up and was like, ‘I feel real nice. I feel like Mozart’s on my dick.’ And that was it, and he went back to sleep.“

The Game Refutes Rumors That He’s “Banging Khloe Kardashian”

Khloe Kardashian films her reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" in Hollywood

Reports TMZ:

Photos surfaced today showing Game and Khloe — who’s married to Lamar Odom — hugging it out in L.A.’s Runyon Canyon Park last month … where Game’s been doing a “60 Days of Fitness” program.

You’ll recall, Khloe’s brother Rob Kardashian is also doing the program … and Game tells us, Khloe is too, which is why they were hanging out.

The Game says, “The pictures that they see of us out together are because she is a part of my 60DaysofFitness team.”

The Game adds, “Khloe is my friend. She is like a sister. We have never and will never be sleeping together. Lamar is my homie and her husband and I wish people wouldn’t spread such false rumors.”

Kanye Reportedly Wants To Name His Baby North West

kanye-west-kim-kardashian-11Reports Reports from Rhymes With Snitch:

ECCENTRIC Kanye West wants to call his baby by Kim Kardashian NORTH.

The rapper, 35, came up with a list of potential names for the baby — due in July — but North is at the top because he thinks it sounds good with his surname.

He sounded out pals about the moniker last month while working in Paris during fashion week.

But the title is unlikely to go down well with girlfriend Kim, 32, whose family have a tradition of starting their first names with a K.

The reality star might also have a problem with her boyfriend’s next album title — I Am God.

Too $hort Arrested For DUI, Tried To Run From Police

120215064119-rapper-too-short-story-top

I really that some of these artists are way too old and have way too much money to be getting locked up on shit like this. But who am I to say anything. From TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Short — real name Todd Anthony Shaw — was pulled over in L.A. a couple hours ago for some traffic violation … and when cops approached the vehicle, he appeared under the influence.

Now here’s where it gets weird — when police attempted to administer a breathalyzer test, law enforcement sources tell us Too Short took off … and tripped as he ran down the street.

Police got their man and placed him under arrest … then tossed him into a police cruiser.

On the way back to the station, things got even crazier — we’re told Too Short tried to dump narcotics in the back of the cruiser.

Our sources say Too Short blew a .09 … just over the .08 legal limit.

According to law enforcement sources, Too Short is currently being booked for DUI and felony narcotics possession.
