Jamie Foxx & Affion Crockett Launching New Sketch Comedy Series For Fox TV

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 12:30pm


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Almost two decades after his breakout stint on "In Living Color," Oscar winner Jamie Foxx is back at Fox with another sketch-comedy show.

The network has ordered a pilot for an untitled project executive produced by Foxx and two of his fellow "Color" writers, "MadTV" creators Fax Bahr and Adam Small, with "Wild 'N Out" alumnus Affion Crockett attached as one of the stars.

The pilot is the result of merging two projects. Foxx wanted to do a sketch-comedy series with an urban twist and paired with Bahr and Small to pitch the idea to Fox.

Separately, Sony TV-based production company Tantamount was working on a sketch-comedy project starring Crockett, probably best known for his spoofs of Russell Simmons, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Drake and Jay-Z. Crockett was to co-write the project with Carl Jones, a producer of Sony's animated comedy "The Boondocks," on which Jones voiced characters alongside Crockett and also served as a producer.

After hearing both pitches, Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly proposed marrying the projects.

Small, Bahr, Jones and Crockett are writing the show.

Foxx, who co-created, produced and starred in "The Jamie Foxx Show," had another sketch-comedy show with Bahr and Small in development last year at MTV.

Small and Bahr's series credits also include "Chocolate News" and "Blue Collar TV."

Crockett recently launched a Web comedy series with Simmons

50 Cent Paid $75,000 To Say One Word At UK Club Opening

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 12:00pm


He wanted to get Rich or Die Tryin', and it's fair to say 50 Cent has achieved his goal.

We hear the hardman rapper raked in £50,000 for uttering one word at a launch party on Thursday.

And the word in question? "Hey."

Yep, that's £16.6K per letter. Incredible! Fiddy - who is in the UK on his Before I Self Destruct tour - was wooed by the owners of flash new Liverpool club Bamboo to attend its opening night.

And the extravagance didn't stop at his super pay packet - he also had a budget-busting rider to match.

Once he'd been ferried by a Hummer Heaven stretch limo to the city's first seven-star club, his entourage had magnums of Cristal and Dom Perignon champagne on tap - served up by two models.

Our spy says: "It was the most blinging night ever.

"People thought 50 Cent might perform a track or two, given the massive fee, but he just greeted the crowd with a 'Hey' and got back to his two personally requested ladies, who were lavishing booze on him."

Mexican Cartels Recruiting U.S. High School Kids To Run Drugs & Become Hit Men [Videos]

Videos After The Jump

Mexican Drug Cartels are recruiting high school kids from U.S. border towns to act as drug runners and in some cases hit men.

The cartels promise the teens fast money and for far too many of these kids it seems too good to pass up.

However, the dealers are ruthless and won't hesitate to execute the young couriers if they come up short on either the drugs or the money.

Cartels have also recruited and trained some of the teens to become killers.

In Laredo, Texas Rosalio Reta and his friend, Gabriel Cardona carried out at least seven contract killings before being caught by local authorities. Reta's first killing occurred when he was just 13.

According to CNN both teenagers received six-month military-style training on a Mexican ranch. Investigators say Cardona and Reta were paid $500 a week each as a retainer, to sit and wait for the call to kill. Then they were paid up to $50,000 and 2 kilos of cocaine for carrying out a hit.

This stuff is out of control.

Jae Millz Speaks On His Mixtape "The Flood" & Working With Lil Wayne [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 6:50am


Video After The Jump


This Week's Main Pick

Street King: Jae Millz

Holding It Down For: Harlem

Mixtape: The Flood

Real Spit: Jae Millz knows the method to getting Lil Wayne on tracks. Several days before Weezy started his one-year prison sentence, The Fireman was in the studio with his Young Money signee. While playing beats, Millz, a native of Harlem, put on a track that had a sample of a voice saying "Rikers Island."


"My boy J. Cardim did it," Millz said of the untitled track. "It's a sample of an old reggae record. ... I was gonna do it because I was gonna talk about my homies that's locked up, but that's not powerful enough. It wouldn't have been that much of a record. So with the situation that's up right now, I happened to stumble across the beat.

"You gotta catch him on a certain day," Millz added about Wayne. "On a certain day, he might like a certain beat. The sh-- might be hot, depending on his mode. He works off whatever mode he's in."

Millz is in assassin mode these days — The Flood is the first of many tapes to come before he drops his official LP.

Joints To Check For

» "The First 48." " 'First 48' is one of my favorite shows on A&E — it deals with reality," Millz explained. "My mixtape deals with reality, but it's kinda like a show in a way. 'The First 48' is the first 48 bars of my show, my reality. I gave them 48 bars. The first 48 bars off the mixtape."

» "Angels." "I had to go in on that," Millz said. "Shout-out to Diddy. I had to go in on this when I heard Ross' verse. I wasn't gonna do it, because to me that's just the 'Where I'm From' beat. No disrespect to Jay-Z, but you know how many times we threw that beat on in a cipher? Or at a radio station, they threw that beat on and I had to go in on that beat? That's a monumental song. But when I heard Ross do it, them first two bars, 'I'm a photographer's dream/ Counting cream as my chain swing.' I was like, 'There are people still out here playing. Here's people in the studio playing, besides the people in my camp.' "

Usher Speaks On Song "Papers". Says It Was Written Before His Divorce [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 6:31am


Video After The Jump

Usher said his hit song "Papers" was a case of life imitating art, not the other way around. Speaking with MTV News last week, the singer talked about the song that kicked off his Raymond v. Raymond LP on the radio earlier this year.


"I think people would have immediately alluded to the fact I was talking about my wife when I made that record — and now my ex-wife," he said. "When the song was recorded, I wasn't divorced. It was some reality in the contrast of trying to make it all work, having to balance a career and having a normal life. Coming in at 6 in the morning and arguing was a reality when you have those type of relationships. I felt that in a way, the story did touch on certain things at the time. I didn't know how realistic it would become. I didn't know I would become divorced. I did know it spoke on the contrast between trying to balance this world of being married and having this responsibility that's like a marriage at the same time. The song spoke to that place. Unfortunately, it did become a reality."

In October, Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster, told People magazine that "Papers" was just "entertainment" and "people shouldn't take it literally."

"For you, I gave my heart and turned my back against the world/ 'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl," Usher sings on the chorus. "I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama/ I done turned into the man I never thought I'd be/ I'm ready to sign them papers."

The track is produced by Zaytoven and written by Sean Garrett.

"Let's say I wrote a record for Usher three or four months ago where I really didn't have any idea of what he was going through personally. I work really hard at creating records I feel that's gonna fit like a glove to an artist," Garrett explained back in June. "Me and Usher have a close relationship; I tend to sort of assist certain artists in giving them a direction, where I think they need to go in their next move. I felt that was the direction we needed to go. I felt that was the question everyone wanted to know: Was [his relationship] good or was it bad? Was it right? Are you happy or you're not?"

Raymond v. Raymond drops Tuesday.

Industry Freak Kat Stacks Says Lil Wayne Paid Her $1200 For Sex. Trashes Whole Young Money Camp [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 6:09am


Video After The Jump

The Young Money Camp is probably at the peak of it's popularity, so I guess it makes sense a few groupie tales would start to leak out.

Kat Stacks, a self professed industry slore is spilling details of her sexual exploits with Lil Wayne, Mack Maine, Jae Millz and the rest of the crew.

Ms. Stacks refers to Young Money as "roommates" because she claims aside from Weezy they all are broke and live in an apartment together.

She says she sexed the whole crew and was paid $1200 by Lil Wayne for an intimate encounter.

She's obviously trying to become the next Karrine Steffans aka "SuperHead", SMDH.

What do yall think, is this chick believable?

Gimme Da Loot: Gang Of Masked Gunmen Burst Into & Rob Swiss Casino Of Several Hundred Thousand Dollars [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 29, 2010 at 5:30am


Video After The Jump

(CNN) -- About 10 men armed with pistols and small machine guns raided a casino in Switzerland and made off into France with several hundred thousand Swiss francs in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said.

The men, dressed in black clothes and black ski masks, split into two groups during the raid on the Grand Casino Basel, Chief Inspector Peter Gill told CNN.

One group tried to break into the casino's vault on the lower level but could not get in, but they did rob the cashier of the money that was not secured, he said.

The second group of armed robbers entered the upper level where the roulette and blackjack tables are located and robbed the cashier there, he said.

As the thieves were leaving the casino, a woman driving by and unaware of what was occurring unknowingly blocked the armed robbers' vehicles. A gunman pulled the woman from her vehicle, beat her, and took off for the French border.

The other gunmen followed into France, which is only about 100 meters (yards) from the casino, Gill said.

There were about 600 people in the casino at the time of the robbery. There were no serious injuries, although one guest on the Casino floor was kicked in the head by one of the robbers when he moved, the police officer said.

Swiss authorities are working closely with French authorities, Gill said. The robbers spoke French and drove vehicles with French license plates

Rosa Acosta Fires Back At Maino's Cheap Shoes Comment "I Wasn't Aware They Give Lessons About Women's Shoes In Prison" [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 28, 2010 at 11:00am


Video After The Jump

The Rosa Acosta/Maino beef rages on.
As previously reported by PaperChaserDotCom, Brooklyn rapper Maino went off on Rosa Acosta in an interview. Talking about everything from her "cheap shoes" to her fake breasts.

Maino wasn't happy about a comment Rosa made on the Angela Yee show that Maino, who was sitting right next to her at the time was wearing a fake jacket

Now Rosa has responded to Maino's disses.

In a recent interview on the Josi Marie Show, she was asked about Maino. The video vixen said she wouldn't devote more than three minutes of her time talking about him. So in that time she fired some heavy artillery.

Josi starts the clock "Ok three minutes Rosa, go"

Rosa starts off by addressing the cheap shoes comment, saying she doesn't wear fake shoes just ones that are affordable, adding:

"I wasn't aware they could give you lessons about women's shoes in prison"

Rosa goes on to say:

"If you're gonna talk about me in an interview to put me on blast instead of your projects and your actual music YOU SUCK"

There's much more to the conversation about Maino, Rosa's issues with anorexia when she was a dancer and rumors she was dating Soulja Boy and Omarion.

Check out the full interview below.

Little Brother & Former Member 9th Wonder Take Their Beef To Twitter [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 28, 2010 at 8:41am


Video After The Jump

A war of words broke out on Twitter Saturday between Little Brother and producer 9th Wonder, who is a former producer and founding member in the group.

According to Phonte, a rapper in Little Brother, the issue started when the group attempted to use the last song the former trio recorded as a group on their new album, Leftback LP.

Here is what Phonte said:

"Aiight folks, backstory on Star:

This was recorded back in '05-06 at Young Guru's crib sometime after the release of Minstrel Show.

This was intended for Leftback as an iTunes bonus track but we just got word today that @9thwondermusic doesn't want us to use it for whatever reason, and that's fine.

In any event, I'm not gonna let anything or anybody stop me from getting music to my fans. F**k that.

Enjoy. And as always, thank you for listening".

After the message, Phonte left a download link to "Star," which was removed as an iTunes bonus song.

9th Wonder soon responded a fan on Twitter.

"Let people talk bro....only if they knew the REAL story," he said to which Phonte responded, "Well, tell your side of it or shut the f**k up."

9th said, "@phontigallo you are NOT a tough guy.......none of us is...so KILL that noise.....and n***as aint shuttin up."

The breakup of the group came after the group's second album and, to which 9th Wonder has largely been quiet.

"Twitterfolk...I have maintained silence on the matter for LONG time..for this reason. I apologize to yall for steppin outta character," the producer said.

The other rapper of Little Brother, Big Pooh, said, "This situation has 2 many layers for an outsiders input to really penetrate the train of thought. I appreciate the comments tho, either way. this aint about money, this aint about women, this aint about music...its about respect, loyalty, and ego."

Eventually, Phonte added a viral video to speak his his peace.

9th Wonder concluded his statements with, "Please don't feed into this madness yall...real talk....good music will still be made by all of us....."

Pooh echoed those sentiments saying, "We are all grown, nobody is a victim in this situation, nobody."

Arizona Cardinals Linebacker Joey Porter Arrested For DUI & Assaulting A Cop

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 27, 2010 at 5:34pm


Arizona Cardinals linebacker Joey Porter was arrested outside a Taco Bell this morning after officials say Porter put his hands on a cop.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Joey was driving in a Taco Bell parking lot in Bakersfield -- his home town -- when a friend of Joey's was was stopped by police.

According to officials, Porter pulled up near the action - too close apparently -- because a CHP officer rolled over to his car, where he detected the smell of alcohol coming from Porter's car.

Cops say the officer asked for Porter's driver's license, but he refused to hand it over. ... instead, officials say, the 33-year-old tried to roll up his window.

Cops say the officer tried to reach in the car to manually unlock the car -- and that's when Porter "slapped" the officer's hand away.

According to the CHP, the officer decided to grab Porter's arm -- and that's when things got crazy. Porter allegedly got out of his car "in a confrontational manner."

The officer claims he drew his pistol and ordered Porter to the ground, but he wouldn't comply -- though he did ultimately agree to place his hands behind his head.

Additional officers were called to the scene to aid in the arrest. Porter was eventually taken in to custody and booked at a nearby jail. He was eventually charged with 3 misdemeanors -- DUI, resisting arrest and assault on a peace officer.

Porter recently signed a big fat contract with the Cardinals -- reportedly worth $17.5 million for 3 years
