There have been previous reports that Eazy E's son, Lil Eazy was being considered for the role of his father in an upcoming NWA biopic "Straight Outta Compton." Eazy's daughter Erin Bria Wright, also threw her hat in the ring for the role, saying it shouldn't automatically go to her brother.
"I feel the role of my dad in a biopic should “Not” just be a “given” to my brother Lil Eazy solely on the strength that he is my father’s junior! To be honest my father has four sons total who all resemble him in their own way, just as I have an uncanny resemblance to my father and I am a girl," Bria wrote back in October 2011. "I think my brother should have to audition and earn the role by delivering a great read instead of just being handed the role—and I’d like to add that I feel I should have that same opportunity to audition for the role as well, and be given equal consideration based on my acting ability and not just my relation. I have dreamed of getting this role for many years now, as I have always been inspired by how Hilary Swank played a boy in “Boys Don’t Cry,” which I’ve referenced in a past AllHipHop.com interview in 2007."

While it's highly doubtful that Erin will get the part, it has been confirmed by Dr. Dre himself that the children of the legendary rap group will get a shot at portraying their fathers in the upcoming film.
"We're talking about it ... we'll see what happens," Dre told TMZ when they caught up with him recently.
Do you think it's a good idea for the kids of Eazy, Dre and Ice Cube to play their famous fathers in the movie or should they consider professional actors instead?

For the last year 50 Cent has attempted to get on the same page with the powers that be over at Interscope Records. Yesterday (January 2) his frustration with the label reached a boiling point.
In a series of tweets sent out to his 5.4 million followers, Fif expressed extreme disappointment with the whole situation.
"I have lost all the faith in the team I'm on. I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music," 50 wrote. "I'm going to deliver this album then. I have a film I wrote to focus on I'm not upset I'm just convinced this is not how I want to remembered. Ill be honest I don't think I'm gonna live much longer. That's why I started my street king movement. I want to mean more in other peoples lives."
Some people mistakenly took his comments about death as an indication that he was in a dark space mentally, but he quickly clarified the statement.
"To be conscious that life is short is not suicidal. I'm good if I die tonight I've taken care of the people who took care of me when I couldn't take care myself," he continued.
50 proved to any naysayers with his street album, The Big 10, that he can still deliver hit records with the best of them. Every video released from the project has soared to more than a million youtube hits. The clip for "Put Your Hands Up" is nearing 4 million views in less than one week.
All of this was done without the help of a label. 50 says that at this point in his career he wants to protect his legacy and inspire others.
Let's hope Interscope gets their act together and works with 50 to properly deliver his fifth studio album because the rap game really needs the G-Unit boss.

The Dipset Capo proposed to longtime girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin on last night's episode of 'Love and Hip Hop.'
Jim surprised Chrissy when he showed up in Miami while she was having dinner with other cast members and asked her if she could step away and talk to him. Chrissy initially thought he was upset with her about something until he stood and pulled a box containing a diamond ring out of his pocket.
"I got that information for you," Jimmy said before asking her to marry him. Chrissy immediately said yes.
“The fact that my Jimmy knew that it was the right time to do things, its priceless,” Chrissy told viewers while fighting back tears.

Dennis Rodman is making a basketball comeback, just not in the way you might have expected. The 50-year old retired NBA Hall of Fame player has teamed with Headquarters Gentlemen’s Club in New York to form a topless women's team according to the New York Post.
“I don’t know too many men that don’t like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court,” Rodman told the Post.
"The Worm" got the idea after Rick's Cabaret teamed with former NBA player Spud Webb to form Rick’s Basketball Association during the NBA lockout last year. There were teams in several cities, but the league disbanded once the NBA players and owners ended their lockout.
“We stepped aside when the NBA returned,” said a Rick’s spokesman, who added, “We love Dennis . . . His regular table at Rick’s Cabaret is available. We wish Dennis well in coaching another team, but if the RBA was still in existence, we would have made Dennis our commissioner.”
Rodman will be auditioning players at Headquarters starting next week. Other than a height requirement of 5'10, no real experience is needed according to the former Chicago Bull.
“You don’t have to have too much experience, just know how to throw the ball into the hole,” said Rodman, who added, “They’ll come out in a T-shirt or a tank top, but when the game starts, they’ll go topless."
Rodman said he hopes to challenge Rick's to a charity game.

Fourteen months of marriage to Katy Perry will most likely net Russell Brand a huge payday of more than $20 million dollars.
Brand filed for divorce from the singer last Friday citing irreconcilable differences. According to the New York Daily News there was no pre-nup signed when they got married which means under California law the couple must split their earnings 50/50.
Brand's net worth is said to be in the $15 million dollar range, while Perry's is reported to be at least $45 million or more.
The two had been having trouble for months because the 36-year old Russell is a recovering heroin addict who hates the party scene and Katy, 27, can't get enough of it. They were often seen having heated arguments in public. According to TMZ, Perry asked Russell to file the divorce papers so she wouldn't upset her evangelical Christian parents.
The soon to be ex-couple have no kids.
