Drake’s voice on your TV set or your Xbox Live headset. Read on:
The roster of actors and actresses that bring voice to the Gears of War franchise is already pretty well-packed with talent, but Epic Games is upping the ante with Gears of War 3. Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake—known for his acclaimed breakout mix tape “So Far Gone”—will be joining the cast as Jace Stratton, a central character in the Gears comic books and one of the many new characters joining the fight in Gears 3.
Grammy-Nominated Recording Artist Drake Joins the Cast of Biggest Game of 2011 in Gears of War 3
The new face of hip-hop brings Jace Stratton to life in the final chapter of the blockbuster Gears of War trilogy.
The fastest-rising superstar in today’s hip-hop music scene is teaming up with Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games to lend his voice to the biggest blockbuster game of 2011, Gears of War 3, only on Xbox 360. Set to release his much-anticipated debut album, Thank Me Later, on June 15, Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming finale to one of the most celebrated sagas in video games.
In this finale, Epic has added four-player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing the game to bring characters from the extended Gears universe to life.
“Jace is a central character in the comic books, so he was an obvious choice as a character we wanted to bring into the third game,” said Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. “When we began casting for the role, ‘So Far Gone’ had just released, and Drake’s combination of heart and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him directly… fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan.”
“When Epic came to me with the role, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Drake. “They’ve created an amazing character in Jace, and I’m looking forward to my tour in Delta Squad.”
Developed by acclaimed studio Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, Gears of War 3 launches worldwide in April 2011, only on Xbox 360. The Gears of War series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film, and more.
Young Money’s own Nicki Minaj is being sued by Hollywood Exotic Car Rental for allegedly damaging the Pink lambo she rented to be used in the Massive Attack video. According to the suit, the exotic car was driven “off-road” and damaged “in the approximate amount of $11,589.41.
The rental company is suing Nicki Minaj for unpaid rental charges, property damage, and punitive damage.
Christina Aguilera's risqué outfits, skin-tight costumes and provocative photo shoots aren't just for show. The singer says her sexy image is her way of getting out what she believes is an important message.
"I feel sexuality to be very empowering," the singer, 29, tells U.K. magazine Company in its July issue. e think, 'Oh it must be for a man.'" "I think men love to believe that they own our sexuality, so if a woman represents herself in a sexual way people think, 'Oh it must be for a man.'
"But men don't have the right to own our sexuality," she says. "If I want to be sexual, it's for my own appreciation and enjoyment! That's why I like to talk about the fact that sometimes I am attracted to women. I appreciate their femininity and beauty."
Before calling her a feminist, be warned, Aguilera says she doesn't like to get into labels. Instead, she's simply fighting "for women's rights in the sense that we shouldn't be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies."
But husband Jordan Bratman has nothing to worry about. His wife of almost five years knew he was The One, because when they met, "Everything was a little blurry and he was the one concrete person that I could trust," she tells the magazine. "He was centered, grounded and always helped me see the positive in the negative. He would lift me out of my black hole of sometimes feeling sucked in by the negativity of people around me. My husband is the calm in the storm."
Though she acknowledges "you have to work at all relationships," she says she couldn't have found a better partner than Bratman. "He's my team mate in everything we do," she says. "He definitely makes life easier."
Lil' Kim may not be feeling Diddy or Nicki Minaj, who Diddy is rumored to be managing, but the rapper and hip-hop exec says he's still cool with the Queen Bee. Kim's recent outbursts about the Young Money Barbie and the Bad Boy mogul have been grabbing headlines, but Diddy isn't letting the star's words get to him, saying he still has mad love for Kim.
"I want to say I love Lil' Kim, man," Diddy told the BBC's Tim Westwood on Friday (June 11). "I'm sorry that she's mad. I never would have thought that by me working with another artist that she would take it the wrong way. But if she's taking it the wrong way it ain't meant like that. Nicki never did anything to her."
Kim has sounded off about Minaj in a variety of outlets, including a recent interview posted on ThisIs50.com. "For the last year, she's been subliminally taking shots at me, subliminally taking shots at the other girls in the industry. I mean, come on, we read that interview where she said, 'Oh, being that the other rap chicks in the game ain't got sh-- to do right now, when I'm by the pool, they can feed me grapes,' I remember that sh--," Kim told the website. "The last thing she did that was very subliminal, 'Oh, did I kill the Queen?' and Puffy is sitting right next to her vibing with that bullsh--. Come on, we ain't stupid. It's obvious that she likes my music and that she's trying to mimic what I'm doing, she's subliminally busting shots."
Kim also talked about her feelings to Philadelphia radio personality Kendra G. "All females that come in the game, we all need to stick together, and I always try my best to embrace them. But what happens is when you come into the game and realize that I'm not going away and my fans are still here and they can't just step over me. They can't just step on me and then they're kinda like, they get upset and then they don't want to be my friend anymore and I think that's really childish, you know what I'm saying? It's stupid because all I ask for is to be respected — pay homage at the end of the day."
While Diddy maintained his love and respect for Kim, he went on to defend Minaj, insisting that the Queens hitmaker has shown the Queen Bee nothing but respect.
"She ain't trying to swagger-jack or say nothing negative about her. I just think that Kim needs to just understand that Nicki as a whole has always been respectful of her and Nicki's not trying to be her," Diddy said. "I ain't gonna make no apologies for working with Nicki Minaj. [She is] somebody that's never said anything negative about Kim and just really has always, in my eyes, has paid homage to Kim. She's a different MC. They don't even talk about the same thing. If you're like a connoisseur of MCs and you a specialist — like what Kim has talked about and what Nicki talks about — they don't talk about the same things."
The mogul also suggested that Kim's vocal attacks on the "Massive Attack" rapper are a ploy to build buzz as she prepares to drop a new project.
"Kim is gonna be a MC and MCs when they coming back out a lot of times they like to talk crazy and do what they do, " he said. "At the end of the day, everybody respects Lil' Kim for being the Queen Bee."
Diddy may be cooking up some heat in the lab with Nicki Minaj, but despite their budding professional relationship, the hip-hop Bad Boy continues to maintain his support for both MCs. "We riding with Nicki and we still riding with Kim," he said. "We love and respect the days and the history that we've had with Lil' Kim. It ain't no beef."

We've all heard the saying "stupid is as stupid does." Well, one Michigan woman has given a great example of what that means.
41 year old Kathy Myers injured her right shoulder a month ago while playing with one of her dogs. Since then she's been in considerable pain, but because she is out of work and has no health insurance doctors wouldn't treat the injury.
That's when she came up with a plan to shoot herself in her already injured shoulder hoping she could get emergency treatment for both injuries.
The local hospital treated the gunshot wound, but not the previous injury leaving Myers in exactly the same situation she was in before shooting herself.
Except now the prosecutor's office is deciding whether Myers will face charges for firing a weapon within city limits.
Myers told WSB-TV she wouldn't be trying that stunt again.
"I have no suicide wish, right now I want to live."

The first thing Diddy said to interviewer Martin Bashir after greeting him was "I got a little bit nervous, I just found out you were interviewing me."
And with good reason, Bashir treated the interview like an interrogation.
He calls Diddy a megalomaniac and implies he's a product whore.
"Is there a product you wouldn't sell?" Bashir asks "How about Diddy Dog Food, you know make your dog yap with a rap?"
That question seemed to catch the always cool, calm and collected Diddy off guard. After stuttering for a second he said he wouldn't be selling 'Diddy Dogg Food'.
The conversation quickly turns to the murders of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.
"I decided that it was something that I just wasn't really gonna be talking about anymore," Diddy told Bashir regarding Big's death. "It was in the past, and I've talked about it so much. I love him, I miss him, and he's one of my best friends. It was a tragic loss."
Not satisfied Bashir, pressed on asking. "Do you have any idea who killed him?"
"No I don't," Diddy told him.
"Do you know who was responsible for the killing of Tupac Shakur?" Bashir asks
With a stone face Diddy said "No I don't. I feel the loss of my friends. I feel the loss of Tupac."
Bashir continued to go in on the Bad Boy CEO. Grilling him about having multiple kids with different mothers and criticizing him for buying his son Justin a $400,000 Maybach for his 16th birthday.
"I thinks it's appropriate for me to give my kids whatever I want to give my kids. I don't think I have to explain to you or anybody else. I can do whatever I wanna do with my children and you can't question me about it."

ST. CLOUD, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A former teacher said the administrators of a Christian school where she was employed fired her because she became pregnant just before her wedding. Now, she has filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the private school in St. Cloud.
Jarrestta Hamiton said April of 2009 was the happiest month of her life. She was a newlywed and newly pregnant and teaching fourth graders and Southland Christian School. She said it was about that time when she approached by the administration to talk about "maternity leave."
She said when asked, she admitted that the baby was conceived three weeks before the wedding. A week later, she said the school fired her. Attorney Ed Gay is helping Hamilton sue the school, claiming that her termination amounts to discrimination based on her pregnancy and marital status.
"If they're going to single her out because she conceived prior to marriage, but allow people to remain employed who conceived during a marriage, isn't that discriminating against her based on her marital status?" asked Gay.
School administrator Rob Ennis said the school has not seen the lawsuit. "At this time, we're going to seek legal counsel, and I really don't feel comfortable making any comment to be honest with you."
FOX 35 obtained a letter sent to Hamilton from the school which asked not to return because of "fornication," sex outside of marriage. It also claims that Hamilton knew about the school's moral stance through the employment application process.
"Just a vague reference to upholding standards and purposes of the school," said Gay. "That's what they're going on as a 'morals' clause."
Ultimately, it could be the federal courts that decide who is right and who is wrong. Hamilton also claims that the school violated her privacy by telling parents and students why she was fired.

The real Freeway Ricky Ross was interviewed by Tony Sculfield and The Morning Show recently.
Freeway Ricky talked about plans for the upcoming movie based on his life. He is in talks with 'Blow' writer Nick Cassavetes to helm the project.
Tony mentioned that he thought actor Don Cheadle would be great in the lead role. Ricky said he's someone that's being considered as well as Flavor Flav (yeah that Flavor Flav).
Right now everything is still in the early planning stages though and I'm sure they will settle on a really good actor.
When the subject turned to imposter Officer Ross, Freeway Ricky said the rapper is broke which is why the main focus of his lawsuit will be against Universal.
"I feel like if someone stole your car and you saw them riding around in it everyday would you not want it back?"
“I know he don't have any money, or the kind of money that I'm gonna have. I'm sure he's [Officer Ross] gonna do good even when he becomes William Roberts," Freeway said of the rapper.
Peep the rest of the interview below.

What would you do to save your own life, if your arm was trapped and you had no way to free it?
Jonathan Metz of Connecticut, was faced with this decision and decided to cut off his own arm in order free himself after being trapped under his furnace for three days.
Metz became trapped while doing repair work on the furnace and dropped a tool. As he reached for it his arm became wedged and he couldn't pull it out.
He yelled for help for three days, but nobody could hear him. He survived by drinking water from his boiler. As his arm began to get badly infected he made the decision that doctors say saved his life. He sawed his arm off just below the shoulder with tools he could grab.
Metz's arm was decaying from a lack of blood flow, going into a "gangrenous state," Dr. Scott Ellner, a trauma doctor at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center told the Hartford Courant. The infection could have started to spread throughout his entire body.
"It was the right thing to do," Ellner said. "This man saved his own life."
Luca DiGregorio a friend on Metz' softball team went to his home after Metz failed to show up for a game. After finding Metz car and dog, but not Metz he called police who found him conscious in his basement.
By that point his arm was almost completely amputated. After working 25 minutes taking apart the furnace, rescue workers finished the amputation.
Doctors say his arm can't be reattached, but are hopeful he can be fitted with a prosthetic arm.
"He's a young, healthy guy," Ellner said. "His strength is just so inspiring."
The doctor added that he'd never seen anything like this in his ten years practicing medicine.

Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian hit up the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night [June 10].
The sisters are out promoting season two of their reality show 'Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami' which premiers Sunday June 13.
Khloe shot down rumors that she is pregnant and talked about her husband Lamar Odom playing in the NBA Championship for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Boston Celtics.
Neither sister seemed to know a whole lot about the game of basketball, but what they lack in knowledge they seem to make up in in enthusiasm as Kourtney yells out things "it's not St Patrick's Day!" during the games, lol.
Kourtney said one of the Celtic's players whose name she couldn't remember tried to intimidate the pair by "mad dogging" them during one of the games, but it didn't work.
The musical guest was Taio Cruz who performed "Dynamite"

Looks like T.I. really wants to be the King Of The South as he looks to expand his audience with a new collaboration..
The hip hop titan has linked with Kid Rock and country star Martina McBride for a new track titled "Care" that will appear on Kid Rock's new album.
McBride talked to Billboard about the odd collaboration:
"I just recorded a song with Kid Rock for his new album. It seems like an odd pairing, but I love that he sees the real redneck in me," McBride said. "There's a rapper called T.I. who raps the third verse. Kid Rock sings the first verse, I sing the second verse and T.I. raps the third verse. Crazy, but it's really uplifting and it's a cool melody and it feels good. It makes sense. If I was rapping the third verse, that would not make sense."
Kid Rock, who has been working with legendary producer Rick Rubin for this album is excited about the project.
"It’s a game changer for me. Totally different process working with Rick Rubin. With this album we were working around playing, singing live, no click tracks. Kinda of a crazy concept these days. But it’s the way real records are made," he told Entertainment Weekly.
Kid Rock's new album 'Born Free' is due out in September

Twisted Taliban militants took terror to a new low by accusing a 7-year-old boy of spying - and hanging him high.
That outrage drew immediate condemnation from the Afghan president, who called the execution a "crime against humanity."
"I don't think there's a crime bigger than that, that even the most inhuman forces on earth can commit," Hamid Karzai said Thursday. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy
The execution happened Tuesday in the embattled Helmand province, said Dawoud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the provincial governor.
"The innocent boy was not a spy, but he may have informed the police or soldiers about planted explosives," Ahmadi told Central Asia Today.
"If this is true, it is an absolutely horrific crime," added British Prime Minister David Cameron, while on a stop in Kabul. "I think it says more about the Taliban than any book, than any article, than any speech could ever say."
The victim was reportedly the grandson of a tribal elder.
The Taliban has targeted tribal leaders who have supported the Karzai government or took part in U.S. directed reconstruction programs.
Hanging is a favorite Taliban terror method for getting rid of enemies - and sending a message to other would-be opponents.
Nor is this the first time the Taliban has killed kids. Three years ago, they strung up a 70-year-old woman and a child in the Musa Qala district on trumped up spying charges, Ahmadi said.
As news of the hanging unfolded, the war-torn country was hit with further tragedy as a suicide bomber hit a wedding party, killing at least 40 and severely wounding more than 70 people.
Several children were among the dead and wounded. Bits of flesh and severed limbs covered the site.
A Taliban spokesman denied responsibility for the deadly attack.
The governor of the province rejected the denial.
"The Taliban are doing two things at once," Gov. Tooryalai Wesa said.
"On one side they target people who are in favor of the government, then at the same time they don't want people to know their real face."
Violence is on the rise in June as the U.S. prepares a major summertime operation to cleanse the region of Taliban commanders.
At least 17 U.S. service members have been killed in the past four days, including four Americans who died Wednesday when insurgents in Helmand province's Sangin district - one of the most volatile in the country and where the 7-year-old boy was hanged - shot down a NATO helicopter.
