When music mogul Russell Simmons tries his hand at something the results are generally very successful.

From starting Def Jam Records, to creating Phat Farm clothing, Simmons has demonstrated that he knows a lot about presenting the right idea at the right time.

With that being said, Uncle Rush has decided to buy a television network.

“I am going to buy a TV network," he told the Wall Street Journal. "When mainstream networks say diversity, they mean segregation. ‘Let’s do some more black TV.’ Instead, there’s all these cultures that should be more integrated properly," he explained. “Instead of giving Paris Hilton a show, for example, you could do one with Amber Rose. You’d be better off. One is hot, the other is not. Networks are a little slow in how mainstream culture is shifting. There’s a lack of integration in Hollywood, and I want to address that.”

Simmons added that he is working on the project with Hollywood producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, and that an announcement would be made soon.

A lot of fans may have heard of producer Cardiak for the first time when he produced Lloyd Banks' club banger "Start It Up." But the New Jersey based beat maker has a long list of artists he's crafted hits for.

50 Cent, Ace Hood, Young Chris, Joe Budden, Freeway, Havoc, Meek Mill, Lola Monroe, Lil Twist, Fabolous and Mike Knox have all worked with the producer.

Cardiak recently talked yo HipHopNMore about what it's been like working with the G-Unit camp.

"Me and Banks have a lot of records done for his next studio album and ‘Cold Corner 2′. The mixtape will be out very soon," Cardiak said.

Besides "Start It Up," Cardiak has produced other tracks for Banks, including "On My Way" from the 2009 Cold Corner mixtape, as well as "Take Em To War" and "Unexplainable" for The Hunger For More 2.

The producer hopes to get in more work with 50 Cent. The two have banged out one hit so far, the hard hitting "Outlaw." Cardiak wants to work more with the G-Unit boss.

"I actually made that beat a year and a half ago. ‘Outlaw’ was one of the first tracks 50 recorded I believe. I actually submitted it to Tony G over at G-Unit for Banks," explains Cardiak "I remember it being in one of the batches. Then Tony hit me up a couple weeks later saying 50 wanted to use it. ‘Outlaw’ is actually the only track we have done right now. But I know he liked a couple joints I played for him so who knows."

Check out the first music video from the project.

Kreayshawn has shown she isn't afraid to mix it up with the big boys.

In a very short amount of time Oakland's newest rap representative has stirred up a lot of controversy.

Several weeks ago the 22-year old had a run-in at the MTV Video Music Awards with Officer Ricky, who was upset at being dissed by the White Girl Mob.

Kreayshawn has now set her sights on a new target.

She spoke to Complex about The Game dissing her in a freestyle titled "Uncle Otis." The red mohawk wearing rapper from Compton, who was reportedly recently knocked out by a member of the Bloods, said if Kreayshawn called him the n-word he would "put the AK' in her face.

"I wanna slap a grown-ass man in the face,” Kreayshawn said. "I’m going to say, ‘Game’s a weak ass Blood, he ain’t about to do sh*t.' Am I just supposed to get dissed every day and be a weak ass little white b*tch? F*ck that sh*t. I’m tired of people disrespecting me.”

50 Cent has landed a significant role in the upcoming movie Frozen Ground.

The movie is based on serial killer Robert Hansen aka the "Butcher Baker." Hansen kidnapped and raped at least 21 women before flying them out to a remote Alaskan location, where he would release, then hunt and kill them.

Initially it was announced that 50 would serve as one of the executive producers of the film, which is being produced by Emmett/Furla Films. Fif has also now landed a "substantial" role in the film as a pimp according to Emmett.

“The director thought that there was a great role for him and I gave him the script,” Emmett told the Anchorage Daily News.

“He’s basically moved a lot of tour dates and a bunch of stuff that he has on his calendar to be committed and up in Alaska."

Frozen Ground will also star John Cusack as Hansen. Vanessa Hudgens will play 17-year old would-be victim Cindy Paulson, who escaped from the killer. And Nicolas Cage is set to play the role of an Alaska State Trooper who tracks Hansen down with Paulson's help.

Shooting for the film starts October 10 in Anchorage with a $27 million budget.

Conan tried his best to focus his attention on Nicole's face while she talked, but failed miserably.

"Conan, focus," Nicole said, gesturing for the talk show host to look up at her face, instead of her breasts.

"It's kinda hard! ... I'm sorry," Conan said "Good God let's be real here for a second. You didn't think I was gonna look down there?"

The rest of the time was spent talking about Nicole being a judge on American X-Factor and Simon Cowell's magical man boobs. Nicole also does a an impersonation of Britney Spears.
