CNN Reports
(CNN) -- Celebrities are always trying to build walls around themselves, literally and figuratively, and those walls cost money.
This week, rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, admitted that he spends $20,000 a week on security at his Farmington, Connecticut, mansion.
"My home is surrounded by cameras. I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me. You get all these crazy lawsuits, and I need cameras to check on things," the 33-year-old told the entertainment news service WENN.
Jackson's security costs work out to a little over $1 million a year.
Although spending more on security in two weeks than the average American's yearly income may seem excessive, Jackson's expenditures are in the lower end of what most high-profile individuals pay to protect themselves, their families and their property.
New York-based security expert and retired New York Police Detective Thomas Werther owns Sector Mike Security systems and spends his days protecting musicians, actors, actresses and sports stars. He explained the breakdown of expenses for a day of security for the average high-profile individual.
"For one day, if you need one truck with a driver and three security agents, you are looking at $4,000 a day, and use that four days a week, then you can easily see spending $20,000 a week. For a guy like 50 Cent, that seems like a modest expense, especially if you are factoring in home security," Werther explained.
Aaron Cohen, a former member of Israel's counterterrorist special forces unit and now the director of IMS Security in Hollywood, works with numerous high-profile individuals and families, including supermodel Kate Moss. Cohen says security is one of the highest single expenditures a celebrity will make in a year.
"If you are looking to protect a celebrity family like Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie] or Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, for instance, the price tag for job like that is going to be around $1 [million] to $1.4 million a year," Cohen said. "When you have kids, you need separate security, because everyone is going off in different directions."
Those costs, according to Cohen, break down to half a million dollars just for residential protection and surveillance that would include 24-hour security monitoring with a constantly streaming network of cameras. An additional half-million in costs can be incurred as a celebrity travels, paying each security guard between $500 and $1,000 a day while away from home.
That cost can rise by a premium of $20,000 a month the second a celebrity stalker enters the equation.
"It is at least a $20,000 retainer in order to boost security and add a proactive investigation to stop a stalker," Cohen said. "You will also spend that if you are the kind of celebrity who is constantly dogged by paparazzi."
One such celebrity is Britney Spears, who spends nearly half a million dollars a year for security, according to accounting information filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court by Spears' father, Jamie Spears, who manages her estate.
Over the course of 11 months in 2008, the singer spent $447,633 on security measures. That breaks down to about half what Jackson spends a month.

Young Dro is on overload. Since his long-awaited album P.O.L.O. (Players Only Live Once) leaked on the Net months ago, Dro had to go back in the lab and retool the project. The Polo champ has this week's Main Pick — he's got homie and Grand Hustle CEO T.I. onboard, but he mainly runs the show on this one. Tip, we miss you. Oh yeah, and we have some more surprises for you this week, so stay tuned.
This Week's Main PickStreet Kings: Young Dro and DJ Don Cannon
Holding It Down For: Atlanta and Philly
Mixtape: R.I.P.(I Killed That Sh--)
Real Spit: Shot to the heart. Young Dro was putting the finishing touches on his album P.O.L.O. (Players Only Live Once) when he walked into the Grand Hustle office and found out the entire LP was already on the Internet.
"When I walked in the office, couldn't nobody look me in the eye," Dro said. "They was looking down. You had Jim Jonsin beats, some of the best production I ever had on there. When I saw it I was like, 'Oh my God. OMG.' But then I said, 'I'm gonna patch it up.' "
Dro shook off the shock and came to accept the fact that he would have to record more songs.
"The album got leaked, so we going back in the studio," he explained. "We gonna get Cannon beats, we gonna get DJ Toomp beats, we gonna sew the album up and act like it ain't never bled. No leak."
P.O.L.O. is now slated to drop sometime in January 2010.
"If you a real player, you only get one life," Dro said. "I'm still a player and I still got one life to live. I'm still in that Polo."
In the meantime, Dro says he's thinking about putting out five mixtapes — the first is R.I.P.: (I Killed That Sh--) with DJ Don Cannon.
"I been waiting for years — he finally called me and said, 'I wanna do the tape with you,' " Cannon said. "I was like, 'Yes.' We got new beats, a bunch of freestyles where he killed [other artists'] beats. The whole thing is, 'I killed that.' Some people are gonna get mad he killed their beat."
"I kill everything I do," Dro insisted. "If you see me in some clothes, I killed that. If you see me in my whip, I killed that. If you hear my flows, I killed that. I be killing stuff. Then we putting rests in peace to — everybody talking swag this, swag that — I killed that. I'm the #1 guy, I'm gonna kill it. R.I.P."
Joints to Check For:
» "U Don't Know Bout It." "It was explaining where I stay or where I live you don't know about it," Dro said. "Before you go out telling everybody your business, 'You don't wanna know about this, shorty.' If you ain't where I'm at or where I live, I can't tell you about it — that's breaking the code."
» "Mo Money Mo Problems." "The '09 'Mo Money Mo Problems' — it's me, Mac Boney and Tip on there," Dro said. "We just giving it to them how we seen when we was able to get money and do our thing. We giving it to the public — we still in the streets, we still in the 'hood, we still corporate, but there's problems around the money we're making sometime."
» "Don't Know Y'all." "The single 'Don't Know Y'all' on the album, it's cats out there on the street that act like they know what I been through or act like they was there when I got shot or my mama got shot," Dro laughed. "I be driving and they flagging me down. When you flagging me down, partna, you don't know me. Me and the boy Yung L.A. on there. We shot the video in the ghetto. We shot the video in the ghetto. ... It was in Chapel Forest on Simpson Road. We had Mike Epps come to the ghetto and see the ghetto children. We was amongst killers and gorillas, but we gave back to the 'hood — we let the children dance and get their rock on. It's gonna be real big."

Now, the trio are gearing up for the release of a new clothing line, which will be carried at Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic.
"With our clothing line hitting Hot Topics and Urban Outfitters just in time for the holidays, we're real excited to be back, and of course, this merchandise line is old school sexy," Prince Markie Dee said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A controversial history lesson left parents and teachers upset in Union County.
The teachers plan to write letters to leaders at the historic Latta Plantation about their disapproval of a hands-on history lesson during a Rea View Elementary class trip Wednesday.
During a lesson on the Civil War, tour guide Ian Campbell, who is himself black, made black students pretend to be slaves in front of their white classmates.
Campbell said he's been a historian for more than 15 years.
"I am very enthusiastic about getting kids to think about how people did things in 1860, 1861 -- even before that period," he said.
One parent said Campbell took his enthusiasm too far when he picked three black elementary school children out of a group of mostly white students to play the role of cotton picking slaves during a his hands-on history lesson. The parent said the students were also made to wear bags used to gather cotton around their necks.
Campbell said, "I was trying to be historically correct not politically correct."
Charlotte-Mecklenburg National Asssociation for the Advancement of Colored People President Kojo Nantambu disagrees.
He said, "There is a lingering pain, a lingering bitterness, a lingering insecurity and a lingering sense of inhumanity since slavery. Because that's still there, you want to be more sensitive than politically correct or historically correct."
Although Campbell defends his decision, he said in the future he will take a different approach.
"I'm going to start asking for volunteers instead of calling people from the audience. I think that would make it a lot easier that way if someone is afraid of public speaking or getting up in front of peers it wouldn't embarrass them," Campbell said.
"Even if the black children had volunteered, I probably would have tried to use all of the children," Nantambu said. "That would have made all the children feel equal in the experience."
Campbell said he's done lessons like this in the past, but this was his first complaint.
A spokeswoman for the Union County school district said administrators were "surprised by the lack of sensitivity" of the presentation. Parents plan to meet with school administrators Friday morning to address their concerns.

LA Times Reports
Wale is exhausted. Bivouacked in a lounge across the street from Interscope’s Santa Monica headquarters, the Washington, D.C., native wears a countenance of weary resignation, preparing for the first in a seemingly never-ending string of interviews. When I tell him that I’ll try not to ask the same stupid questions, he exhales a sigh a relief.
It’s enough for the dreadlocked 25-year-old to handle the rigors of opening for Jay-Z and N.E.R.D. at sold-out arenas across America (as he’s been done for the last several weeks), but he’s simultaneously in breakneck promotional mode in advance of the release of “Attention Deficit,” his official debut that drops Tuesday. Accordingly, he’s frantically checking his phone, Twittering and trying to stay sane, knowing too well that judgment day looms a week away.
The problem is that Wale might be built for the old industry model. A complex craftsman in a fast-food rap world that rewards simplicity and prolificacy, Wale is trapped between binaries. Arguably the most buzzed-about rapper to emerge out of the blogosphere’s tower of babble, he’s acutely aware that to achieve commercial success outside of the Internet bubble, he needs a radio hit. But as he readily admits, “I’m not a radio artist yet.” So in a bid to earn visibility, he collaborated with Lady Gaga and Gucci Mane for his first two singles, alienating many of the purists in his vociferous fan base.
Compounding the disappointment was that neither cut caught fire, though the Gaga-aided “Chillin” has nearly gone gold. Moreover, “Attention Deficit” is riddled with commercial compromises that were absent on the free giveaways he made his name on: the outstanding “100 Miles and Running” and the “The Mixtape About Nothing,” a “Seinfeld”-themed opus that shifted people’s paradigm of what to expect from a mix tape. But in spite of the myriad hoops that the corporate brass forced him to jump through, Wale has delivered the strongest debut yet of XXL’s much ballyhooed Freshman 10 class (Kid Cudi, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, et al), one that augurs well for a lengthy and successful career.
In advance of his show Sunday night (with Jay-Z, N.E.R.D. and J. Cole), Pop & Hiss spoke to Wale about the difficulties of getting to release a major-label rap album in 2009, the negativity and fickleness of the blog age, and why he Twitters so much.
Like many of the more blog-buzzed rappers, you’ve been subject to a lot of rumors, beefs real or fabricated, and a level of media attention that rappers a generation ago may have had to face, but certainly not on as large of a scale. Has this been a difficult thing for you to cope with?Q-Tip once told me that 15 years ago, all people had to judge you on was your album, one or two interviews, your record for the radio and the picture on the album cover. That’s it. The only way you can remain relevant is to give yourself up, unless you’re blessed to be in one of those every-once-in-a-while Drake situations. But that’s not even a once-in-a-while thing; that’s a one-time thing.
But that would seem to be a pretty different situation unto itself. A lot of people watched “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” a lot of girls watched "Degrassi" and they’re now some of his biggest fans. He had a built-in base.
Yeah, and now they’re more mature and can hear [curse] words, I’m happy for what happened to Drake, but the game is just completely impossible now. You have to give yourself up. That’s why I’m so frequently on Twitter; it’s because I don’t have a big record out right now. I don’t have a lot of outlets to explain and prepare people for the person they’re about to listen to.
Do you ever feel like abandoning Twitter? You always have the option of saying, "No, I don’t want to do something like that."
That’s why I take sabbaticals. It’s difficult because you can see how many people already have the leak of your album, and there’s always all these people that are like, "[Screw you], Wale, I hope you die." Back in the day, it took time to write a letter, fold it, find an envelope and stamp and mail it.
It makes people feel like they’re tough enough to say things to your face. They’ll write things like, ‘If I ever see you, I’m going to…." I’m like, "Dawg, I’ve been to every major city. I don’t have a security detail. I’ve never met a person who’d say that to my face."
In a way, counting mix tapes, this is really like your sixth album. Is it difficult to have to keep on creating mostly free content to keep on feeding the Internet-era appetite for new music?
I’m in a different place on the mix tapes than I am with the stuff on my album. I don’t care as much about the mix tapes. I say what I want to say, but on the actual album I was a lot more careful. I’d rewrite things two or three times just to make sure things were perfect.
Do you ever think that you’re angling more for a Mos Def-type fan base than say, a Drake-type fan base?
I don’t know. I really don’t know what my fan base is. I don’t think anyone knows. It’s so weird. On one hand, they’re like, Wale is the new Common or Mos Def, and on the other hand, people say Wale is the other Drake. On the other end, people are like, Wale is the new Jay-Z. On the other, they’re like, Wale is the new Talib Kweli. I don’t think anybody knows. There’s definitely some commercial appeal, but I’m not sure if I can put my finger on it. It’s interesting, because when I did my radio tour, all these people, all these pop stations spoke to me, and I was like, "Dawg, you don’t care about me. You only care about me because I did a record about Gaga."
In a lot of urban markets, they know who I was, they cared about me, they knew my grind and my struggle, but there wasn’t anything for me to give them at that point. It’s something I’m still trying to figure out. Still, we sell out shows all the time.
You have been for a while too. You and Blu sold out the Key Club last year.
But I’m not a radio artist, at least at this point. Pharrell says I am. Jay says I am, but I’m not at this point. I did “Chillin.” ... It was what it was, but nothing stuck -- at least stuck the way that I had hoped. But yet there are still fans coming by the boatload, so I’m thankful for that. I just hope they buy the album next week. I really think it’s going to stand the test of time.

While Mo'Nique may be known for her sassy stand-up comedy and larger-than-life personality, at her home just outside of Atlanta she is simply "Mommy."
"When we're at home it ain't 'action and cut'," says the mom of 4-year-old twins, Jonathan and David, and a 19-year-old son, Shalon. "It's just like a playground in our house – nothing but fun and love."
But when she took on the role of an abusive mother in the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Sapphire, the actress set her current contentment aside and recalled a much harder time in her life. In this week's issue of PEOPLE, Mo'Nique opens up about the sexual abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of her eldest brother – and how she channeled that experience onscreen.
Oscar-Worthy?
"Coming from being molested as a child, when [director Lee Daniels] said, 'I need you to be this monster,' well [I] knew who that monster was," she says.
Now, critics are pegging Mo'Nique, 41, as a possible Oscar nominee, but that doesn't phase her. "Any buzz I'm appreciative of," she says simply.
But her new late-night talk show on BET, The Mo'Nique Show, gets her smiling. "When that curtain opens, I'm a kid that has no limit on all the candy she can have."
The candy, of course, is just theoretical. Since late 2007, the star has sworn off junk food (sort of: "I still love those damn Doritos, baby!"), red meat and fried foods.
"Big is still beautiful," says Mo'Nique, who went from a size 20 to a size 14. "Big healthy people are beautiful."

Chris Brown wishes that ex-girlfriend Rihanna would stop talking about how he beat her.
"I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he told MTV. "I do appreciate her support and wish her the best."
His comments came after Rihanna, 21, told "Good Morning America" Friday how Brown bit her and put her in a headlock during an argument on Feb. 7. "It wasn't the same person that says 'I love you.' It was not those ... eyes," she said. "He had ... no soul in his eyes. Just blank. ...He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him."
Brown said he's "extremely sorry. ...Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God."

The revolution has been televised.
I always knew it would be, since African American athletes have always been center stage in the NCAA's multi-billion dollar money machine. Millions of Americans go mad during the month of March to see "Tyrone G. Anyhood," the latest corporate product being lined up on the Great American assembly line of mass exploitation and academic fraud.
The NCAA has profited handsomely from the Black community's commitment to producing and delivering hoop dreams that put young Black men on the court during the hours they should be spending in a book. We perform death-defying athletic circus acts for the amusement of America, while universities profit under the guise of providing education. The NCAA's professional sports league has created hundreds of multimillionaires and has facilitated the purchase of summer homes, yachts and private planes for many of the fat old men who refuse to even hire African American coaches.
Some of the players have finally said, "enough."
Ed O'Bannon, a former star for the UCLA Bruins, has put his name at the top of an historic class-action lawsuit being filed against the NCAA for the illegal use of player images in videogames. This lawsuit is significant and opens a Pandora's Box of disturbing issues, like a maid charged with cleaning out a house with dead bodies and asbestos. To make things simple, here are just a few reasons the suit may actually end up having massive implications for the African American community:
Ed O'Bannon
First, it sets a precedent. If the players win this lawsuit, it will call into question the NCAA's practices, which I believe violate anti-trust law. It is my hope that Attorney General Eric Holder will help the public to understand that by being able to restrict mobility of labor and trade, the NCAA is allowed to operate in a manner that would be illegal in nearly any other industry in America. Secondly, the tax-exempt status of the NCAA would be called into question as well.
The NCAA is very good at convincing the public that collegiate athletics is nothing more than an extracurricular service being provided to enhance the lives of little bookworms who barely remember to go to practice. Anyone who has taught on a college campus knows that student athletes are forced to endure the rigors of professional athletes and spend dozens of hours each week going to practice and missing class for road trips. This is hardly the life of an amateur and top coaches push the athletes to earn every penny of their $20 million dollar contracts. As a result, the NCAA earns more during its post-season than the NFL and the NBA earn in their respective playoffs, including the Super Bowl.
Secondly, the attorneys in the lawsuit have the power to win. The lawyers filing the suit seemed to be licking their chops when they saw the egregious violations of anti-trust law alleged against the NCAA. It is my hope that we finally become intelligent enough to use the courts as a path to remedy this grave injustice to the families of African American athletes. The idea that the coach can live in luxury while the star player's mother is in poverty is nothing less than shameful. We've even been convinced that it is somehow scandalous and unethical when a player's family gets a mere fraction of the revenue being generated by the athlete on the basketball court.
Dr Boyce Watkins
When I participated in a CBS Sports special during March Madness, the question being asked was whether or not college athletes should be paid. I was surprised that the same network that paid $6 billion dollars for TV rights to March Madness would host a show that questions the operating practices of its economic empire. So, as the special went on and on about how it is clearly "impossible" for the NCAA to share its revenue with the players, I noticed one interesting fact: Every single person on the show arguing that athletes shouldn't get paid was earning at least half a million dollars per year off the backs of those very same athletes. If there were ever a visual representation of the word "hypocrisy," it would be Billy Packer, a millionaire commentator on college sports, explaining why athletes shouldn't get paid for their labor.
The same way that Dr. Harry Edwards called for the Olympic protests of Black athletes in 1968, we should call for the athletes of 2009 to stand up for their families: Demand the education you are being denied, demand the compensation your families deserve, demand the labor rights you should have as Americans. This lawsuit sends a clear message that the second-class citizenship of African American athletes will no longer be tolerated.
