The Roots release the second video off of their upcoming album, undun.
Video directed, shot & edited by Clifton Bell
undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

Celebrities and fans worldwide are speaking out on the the conviction of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of the King of Pop.
Showbiz 411 caught up with 50 Cent to get his opinion on the verdict.
"I think justice was served," Fif said. "I understand the process of when an artist becomes really successful. Michael Jackson is probably the epitome of that lifestyle. I can see people following a regimen of doing what Mike says to do, but they should still follow medical standards and practices."

Courtney Stodden proved to the world that her breasts are real, now we just need to see that birth certificate.
As we previously reported, Dr. Drew Pinsky brought in a doctor on his Lifechangers show to perform an ultrasound test on the 17-year old to find out whether or not she had implants. The results of the test were revealed yesterday (November 7).
After a few nervous moments when a circular object appeared to show Courtney had implants, further examination proved that her breasts are 100% natural.
Courtney gained national notoriety when she married 51-year old actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16-years old.

Much has been made of the feud between 50 Cent and Officer Ricky. Most have categorized their rivalry as being beef, but the G-Unit boss sees it differently, choosing to instead categorize it as battling.
In a recent interview with MTV, Fif reiterated that he doesn't wish death on the Miami rapper, but does question the motivation behind him starting the rivalry to begin with.
"When you look back at that entire scenario you say, 'what was the motivation of it, like where did it start?' He says it started because I looked at him the wrong way. That just means he wanted to compete, he wanted to move up, he wanted to create an awareness for himself... and he did it," 50 said. "This is why they changed the terminology from battling to beefing. Battling was always a part of the culture. They didn't do that until the 2Pac and Biggie situations. That's when it became taboo to actually mention an artist's name."
