Gabourey Sidibe To Host Saturday Night Live

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 2, 2010 at 9:30am


Gabourey Sidibe's year just keeps getting better!

The Academy Award-nominated actress, 26, has another prestigious showbiz title to add to her resume: Saturday Night Live host.

Sidibe's rep confirms to PEOPLE that the Precious star will be taking on hosting duties for the April 24 show. Unfortunately Sidibe's self-professed crush Justin Timberlake will not be the musical guest. Instead, NBC announced that psychedelic indie rockers MGMT will perform on the show.

It's been a whirlwind past few months for Sidibe who kicked off her career with Golden Globe, SAG and Oscar nods and a win at the Independent Spirit Awards.

In addition to Sidibe, NBC has also announced that Tina Fey will host an April 10 episode of SNL with musical guest Justin Bieber, and Ryan Phillippe will helm the April 17 broadcast with musical guest Ke$ha.

Video After The Jump

Cleveland Browns DT Shaun Rogers was arrested after officials found him with a gun at the Hopkins International Airport on Thursday.

Police told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer that the gun was loaded.

WOIO-TV in Cleveland reported officials found the gun as Rogers was set to board an aircraft.

Rogers is a three-time Pro Bowler whom the Browns acquired from the Detroit Lions in 2009. The AP reported that Rogers was taken into custody without incident.

Browns president Mike Holmgren issued a statement about the incident:

"We are aware of what transpired with Shaun Rogers. We will continue to gather additional information, and until the legal process has taken its course, we will reserve any further comment."

Used Car Salesman Steals $7 Million To Fund His 'Tony Soprano' Mob Fantasy. Complete With Mansions, Yachts & Drug Dealers

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 2, 2010 at 8:00am

Inside Chris Orsaris' $5 Million Dollar Queens Crib

A slippery used-car dealer embezzled $7 million to finance his mob fantasies, living large in Southampton and South Beach - surrounded by muscle-bound flunkies and drug dealers, authorities said.

High-flying Chris Orsaris, 37, funneled a fortune in inflated sale commissions from a Queens dealership into "the sordid lifestyle of a 'wanna-be' criminal," federal officials said Thursday.

The car-peddling prodigy, whose sales career started as a teen, used the stolen cash to cover his exorbitant spending: a $5.5 million Trump World Tower apartment, a $2.9 million Hamptons home and a $2 million Florida condo, officials said.

Orsaris, who also owned a $5 million Queens waterfront home, even bought an $860,000 yacht christened B LOW ME - and then filed a bogus claim that it was stolen, officials said.

The Greek-American loved his "Sopranos"-styled life so much that he threatened a suspected informant by delivering a black candy rat to the would-be witness, officials said.

Orsaris, who appeared in Long Island Federal Court on Thursday, was denied bail in the massive fraud and embezzlement scheme at Major Automotive Cos., a $300-million-a-year business with 14 city dealerships.

Orsaris first embraced the mob lifestyle after a 2002 divorce, federal prosecutors said in court papers.

He got engaged to the daughter of reputed Genovese crime family capo Anthony (Tough Tony) Federici - but his attempt to marry into the mob didn't work out as well, federal sources told the Daily News.

Orsaris' romance ended after he was caught canoodling with a stripper, the sources said.

Amid rumors that Orsaris' wandering eye was replaced by two black eyes, the engagement was called off, the sources related.

Federici could not be reached for comment.

The feds, in their letter arguing against bail, described Orsaris as a voracious thief who hired thugs and drug dealers to work as his flunkies between 2004 and 2009.

Once they were on the payroll at Major Automotive Cos., the "employees" served as Orsaris' bodyguards, chauffeurs and personal assistants, the letter said.

In between, the workers distributed steroids, shipped a cocaine-laden car to Greece - and in one case, watched the divorced Orsaris' kids on their weekend visitation with dad.

Other known criminals were hired and given no-show jobs, the letter said, while Orsaris greedily lined his pockets.

"Orsaris has intentionally associated with violent and non-violent criminals [and] drug dealers," wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Burton Ryan.

Orsaris began his career peddling used cars for Major Automotive in 1992, moving up through the ranks.

At the time of his Tuesday arrest, Orsaris was general manager of Major Chevrolet Long Island City - one of the nation's largest used-car dealerships.

He was immediately fired.

"He was a very trusted employee," said Steven Harfenist, lawyer for Major Automotive. "We've cooperated fully with the government, and the matter will be resolved in court."

164-count indictment

Orsaris was busted on a 164-count indictment accusing him of funneling the stolen funds through three sham corporations - and forging his boss' signature as part of the scam.

It was his second bust in a month: Police nabbed the suspect for assaulting his girlfriend on March 1. There also were two outstanding orders of protection against Orsaris.

Defense lawyer Joseph Conway did not return a call for comment.

The yacht scam illustrated Orsaris' brazen approach. The car salesman stored his craft at the College Point Yacht Club, reported it stolen and collected $112,000 in insurance, authorities said.

In a 2000 interview, Orsaris explained his business philosophy: "I look to go an inch ahead, not an inch back."

If convicted, Orsaris won't be going anywhere soon: He faces more than 1,000 years in prison - although a likely term is 10 years

Jeezy Says He's Inspired By 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G. On New Album

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 2, 2010 at 7:29am


(AllHipHop News) A new song by rapper Jeezy hit the Internet last night titled “Mamma Told Me” featuring Esther Dean.

The track is taken from Jeezy’s anticipated album, Thug Motivation 103.

In anticipation of the album, Jeezy has changed his name, by dropping the Young and will have a more focused attitude on this album.

Jeezy, who hit Miami where he took pictures for his Vibe Magazine cover spread, discussed the album in the latest issue of the magazine.

“I feel like the last Mohican dawg...I feel like the last man standing,” Jeezy stated. “I done seen it, I done done it. I done smelt it...I know what I am. But I know what I’m not about to become. I gotta stand for something, man. Who better?”

According to Jeezy, he is finding inspiration in rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., both of whom died in a violent feud.

Jeezy vowed to avoid similar conflicts in the future.

“Pac and Big gone...They no more. Only thing you can hear is they voice, my n***a, and you know what they voice telling me? You gotta keep it moving, man. F**k the dumb s**t...I’m four albums in. How many albums Big have, two? He ain’t make it that far. So I’m already ahead of the game.”

Jeezy is putting the final touches on Thug Motivation 103, which is due to be released in 2010.

Fabolous Downplays Twitter Beef With Jim Jones Saying It's Just Competition

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 2, 2010 at 6:30am


Video After The Jump

According to Fabolous, the back-and-forth he had with fellow New York heavyweight Jim Jones recently on Twitter was no big deal — just jokes. It's not going to lead into any dis records.

The same day Fab's "Body Ya" video hit the Internet, Jones tweeted about MCs he felt were biting his style. "I just seen another rapper's video that look just like my chain gang n scarf," Jones wrote. "Damn, I'm sonnin these n----az. I guess my style might body ya. Lol.'"


Loso came back on his Twitter page with more comedy, poking fun at Jones' mixtape The Ghost of Rich Porter. "#iJustWannaKnoWhy the competition won't stay #Dead," he wrote. "Maybe I should [release] a new mixtape call #TiNc3 — Ghost of the Competition."

"#iJustWannaKnoWhy ni--as think they invented Louis Vuitton??" Fab wrote later. "#nowplaying — 'You're Only a Customer' by Jay Z."

Jones came back with, "Can I at least get a thank u for gettin ur Twitter acct poppin? Lol. I'm out. I quit. I quit. Pow pow, play dead. Lol."

Fab spoke with us on Wednesday about the situation. He says he doesn't see things escalating.

"I don't know where his comment came from," Fab said. "I joked around with it too. It was kinda subliminal.

"I think it's definitely competition," Fab added. "But you can say things — it gets taken out of context whether you meant it as a joke or not. It could have been his opinion, but it still was thrown the way he threw it. It could have been taken in the context of you taking a shot at somebody. But I had fun with it, I made some jokes. That's it. I'm not looking at it as I got a really big problem or East Coast/West Coast beef. I cracked a couple of jokes about it. I'm not making a dis record about it. The point I'm in, I'm focusing on career. I'm branded as an artist. I'm almost 10 years in the game. Twitter dissing isn't important. My last mixtape states where I'm at — there is no competition. That's on Twitter as well."

Fab's "Body Ya" — in which he kills everyone he comes in contact with just by being in the same vicinity — is just one of many visuals coming from his mixtape The Funeral Service: There Is No Competition 2.

"I just shot 'I'm Raw.' Since we were talking about 'raw,' we went to a meat house in Brooklyn," the BK native explained. "It's also a story line, same as 'Body Ya.' The story line starts off with me working in a meat market. Definitely a great video. It's a great visual for a project that was a mixtape project. I wanted to expand it a little more."

Jennifer Hudson Becomes New Spokeswoman For Weight Watchers

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 1, 2010 at 6:05pm


NEW YORK – Jennifer Hudson didn't gain a huge amount of weight when she was pregnant with her son, but it was enough to make her do a double-take when she saw a picture of herself.

"I didn't realize it was me," the singer and actress said Thursday. "I was like, 'Who? ... Oh, my God, this is me.' And now when I look back, wow, look at the difference from then to now."

Hudson, a former "American Idol" finalist who won a best supporting actress Academy Award for "Dreamgirls," has lost the baby weight and more, and she says it's because of Weight Watchers — for which she is the new spokeswoman.

Hudson said she has always been happy with her curves but after she gave birth to David Daniel Otunga Jr. last August she felt the need to take control of her body and her eating habits.

"How can I make a better me, or grow or do some changes, anything, just experiment, because I have me back now," she said. "And then at the same time, having the baby ... it's like, OK, this is a good way of how I would want my child to grow up, because so many times in growing up, you gain really bad habits ... so I want to make sure that he's going into this and I'm being a good example for him."

She said that her lifestyle change has even rubbed off on her fiance, David Otunga, who has recently been wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment.

"Now he's in the habit of writing down what he's eating," she said. "He's doing weigh-ins. He's super healthy, and he's a bodybuilder type, but he is inspired by it."

WORDS ABOUT DRAKE 'S THANK ME LATER ALBUM RELEASE DATE

Posted by TheNewEntry on April 1, 2010 at 1:35pm

Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later will be released on May 25th.

I can’t wait to hear what Drizzy has to offer, and I’m sure it’s going to be good, but I honestly

hope they don’t hype it up like crazy because I know that never ends well. No doubt in my

mind though that this album will not disappoint.collaborators include Jay-Z (“Light Up”), Kings

Of Leon (the Kanye West-produced “Fireworks”), The-Dream (“Shut It Down”), Sean Garrett

and Boi-1da, who produced the initial single “Over”. Now, you cannot say that this album is

not the most anticipated album of 2010. Just 1 months more and it will be here. Let’s go Drizzy!

Mom Filing Charges Against Erykah Badu After Her 9 Year Old Daughter Saw Badu "Butt Naked" While Filming "Window Seat" [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on April 1, 2010 at 10:00am


Video After The Jump

Erykah Badu may be getting a lot more than she bargained for when she decided to shoot the video for her song "Window Seat in the nude"

Ida Espinosa who was in Dealey Plaza in Dallas that day with her daughter celebrating the child's 9th birthday is planning to file charges against Badu.

Ms Espinosa says "If she wants to make art or make a statement do it tastefully. Don't do it while my child is there watching you get butt naked"

Dallas police had previously said that Badu could have been arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor. But since nobody called police she would most likely only face indecent exposure charges.

That will likely change now that a witness is coming forward.

Lil Wayne Leaves Video Warning To Rappers "Yall In Trouble, My Artists They'll Eat You N***as Lunch, We Superstars"

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

The fans on Twitter are writing "Free @liltunechi." The fans on the street are screaming "Free Lil Wayne." Any way you put it, the people miss one of rap's most dynamic superstars.


We haven't sat down with Weezy yet for a new interview, but he left us some more footage of himself before heading to jail last month. In the clip, Wayne is recording songs for his No Ceilings mixtape, and even though the music was coming out great, he wasn't 100 percent inspired.

"It's all right, but I really don't feel it like that," Wayne said, looking into the camera while shooting his "Nino Brown Story" DVD. Someone off camera jokingly yells "bullsh--."

"I swear to God," Wayne insisted. "It's all right. I'm telling you, rappers now, you better get it up while I'm not feeling it like that. Once I start feeling it like that, y'all in trouble. Right now, I'm rappin' right now because y'all ain't heard me in a minute. I don't really feel it like that. But my artists though ... psssh. They'll eat you n---as' lunch. We superstars. We don't battle. We don't want to be compared to nobody. I teach, I preach and I [lead by example]. Superstars. We breed superstars. I teach them how to be superstars first. You don't wanna be a rapper, you don't wanna be a singer, you wanna be a superstar. Therefore you don't have to rap nor sing. You can do whatever, because you a superstar. It's easier."

Wayne recently teamed with another superstar, Eminem. As you know, they filmed the video for "Drop the World" in February, and some new behind-the-scenes pictures have surfaced.

Also, we got a sneak peek at a Wayne video directed by DJ Scoob Doo. They made a movie. Check back soon for more on that one.
