Rihanna Reportedly Lands Role As Super Kinky Dominatrix In 'The Last Dragon' Movie Alongside Samuel L. Jackson

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 16, 2010 at 8:30am

Rihanna could be on her way to the big screen if reports about a forthcoming remake of 'The Last Dragon' are true.

"She has landed an incredibly challenging role alongside Samuel L Jackson. But it's not a part for the faint-hearted," a source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror Monday. "She will play a super sexy, super kinky dominatrix in the martial arts flick."

Said to be co-produced by Rza of Wu-Tang Clan, 'The Last Dragon' remake follows rumors that Rihanna would star in a remake of the 1992 hit 'The Bodyguard' -- those claims were later shot down by management.

While Rihanna has not confirmed the role, the source says she will be asked to study hard.

"She has been told to look into the role - and this could well include a trip to an S&M dungeon."

In related news, Rihanna discussed an intense emotional connection to the album "Rated R" recently.

Telling The Daily Telegraph the album was a place where she could vent after the attack (Chris Brown), Rihanna went on to say "The vocal performances definitely were influenced by the emotion, the feeling. I wasn't just singing lines, I was singing every word and every word meant something because it was my story. It was a lot more personal, a lot more real...I was venting."

'Avatar' Director James Cameron To Write Prequel Novel To Record Breaking Movie

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 16, 2010 at 7:00am

"Avatar" fans have famously suffered from withdrawal symptoms after immersing themselves in the movie's perfect world, and then having to leave when it's time to exit the theater. It's actually been labeled a syndrome. They want more. They want it now.

So director James Cameron is coming to the rescue. But not in the form of another movie, not yet. First, he's going to write a book. It would be the Oscar-winning director's debut on the printed page.

Jon Landau, one of "Avatar's" producers, told MTV News that the novel will be a prequel. "Not a novelization - and there is a distinction. A novelization basically retells the story of the movie. Jim wants to write a novel that is a big epic that fills in a lot of things."

He continued, "It would be something that would lead up to telling the story of the movie, but it would go into much more depth about all the stories that we didn't have time to deal with - like the schoolhouse and Sigourney [Weaver's character] teaching at the schoolhouse; Jake on earth and his backstory and how he came here; [the death of] Tommy, Jake's brother; and Colonel Quaritch, how he ended up there and all that," Landau explained.

Almost since the movie hit screens there's been talk of "Avatar" prequels, sequels, comic books and anything in print that would give fans something to hold onto.

But lest they get too excited, Cameron has to write his book first. And if it's any indication, we know how long his movies take to make.

Landau had some encouraging news on that score as well. As for when "Avatar" fans can look forward to Cameron's novel, he says, "I'm hoping by the end of this year."

Twilight Star Robert Pattinson Has A Strange Allergy "I Really Hate Vagina, I'm Allergic To Vaginas"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 10:30am

Robert Pattinson, he of the sparkly vampire acting gigs and legions of fans, revealed some intriguing tidbits about his personal life during a reported pint-laden interview with Details magazine.

After a beer or two and plenty of chili-spiced bar snacks, Pattinson said that when it comes down to it, his biggest emotional attachment is to his dog.

"There might be something wrong with my emotional sight," the 23-year-old actor said. "The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog. My relationship with my dog, it's ridiculous."

Which is more than he can say about his relationship with vaginas.

The racy photo shoot he did for Details positioned the heartthrob between the legs of a female model, and Pattinson said it made him a bit antsy.

"I really hate vaginas," he said. "I'm allergic to vagina. But I can't say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn't exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover."

There was, however, a redeeming quality of the shoot for Pattinson.

"This shoot, it's kind of eighties nakedness, you know? If you look at porn in, like, the eighties, there was something kind of quaint about it, quite sweet—like this little naked community," Pattinson explained. "The people who made it liked it, they had respect for it. Not remotely like the porn that's available now. No community in it at all. It's just everything, everywhere."

Pattinson is currently working on an adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant novel "Bel Ami," and will make his next appearance on the silver screen in March in the drama "Remember Me.

Porn Star Joslyn James Claims Tiger Woods Got Her Pregnant Twice. Says Protection Was Never Used

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 10:00am

Tiger Woods' porn-star mistress got pregnant twice by the disgraced golfer, she says in a new interview.

Joslyn James, 32, told "Inside Edition" in an interview airing tonight that her first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and she aborted the second one.

The latest revelations come more than two months after a bizarre Thanksgiving car accident revealed Woods secret life as a serial cheater - and after he returned home from a stint in a Mississippi sex rehab meant to start rebuilding his image.

James never told Woods about the pregnancies, which occurred at the same times the golfer's wife, Elin, was pregnant with their two kids.

"The first one was when [Elin] was pregnant with Sam," James said, referring to Woods' 2-year-old daughter.

James said she carried on a steamy three-year affair with the golfer, and they never used protection.

"It was never talked about. It was never protected," she said.

The second time she got pregnant, James said she quietly had an abortion.

"Well, Elin was pregnant with Charlie at that time," she said. "I just didn't want to ruin anything."

"I feel bad for [Elin]," she added. "She didn't deserve this and she didn't deserve being humiliated."

RadarOnline.com reported in December that James, whose real name is Veronica Siwik-Daniels, is wanted by Washington state for more than $12,000 in back child support for her 10-year-old.

Meanwhile, things aren't looking so hot for Tiger on the home front. His wife Elin hit the town Saturday night - and her cheating hubby wasn't invited, Radar reported.

She wasn't wearing a wedding ring when she was spotted partying with friends at the Disney World Dolphin Hotel in Lake Buena Vista, Fla..

"It wasn't a case of Tiger not wanting to go out - it was Elin telling him he wasn't invited," a source close to the couple told the Web site. "She hasn't let him near her."

The source said the two are living in separate houses.

Drummer Travis Barker Lines Up Rappers Lil Wayne, Beanie Sigel, Swizz Beatz & RZA For His Solo Album

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 9:00am

Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker is prepping his first solo album and he's recruited some top notch hip hop talent to lend a hand.

Over the last couple of years Travis has built a solid rap fan base after remixing songs from Eminem, Soulja Boy and others.

A few of the artists that are scheduled to appear on the album according to Spinner.com are Lil Wayne, RZA, Swizz Beatz and Beanie Sigel.

Travis tells Spinner "I'm not singing or being an MC or anything. Over the last five years, when Blink wasn't around, I played a lot by myself or did a whole bunch of stuff with just me. Whether I was playing with T.I. or doing whatever, it just opened another world for me."

"I just love music. The more I can be around it the better, so with my album it's no one genre. It goes from everything from punk rock to hip-hop to some electro stuff on there to a metal song with Corey Taylor from Slipknot. It's been really fun and interesting up till now.

No word yet on an album title or release date.

Michael Jackson's Kids Adjusting To Life Without Dad. Daughter Paris Wants To Be A Singer, Son Prince Is Just Like Him According To Family

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 8:30am

Nobody can imagine what life has been like for them. Being the children of the world's biggest musical icon. With paparazzi clamoring for their pictures and the media circus surrounding their father. It has been a huge adjustment for his three children Prince Michael I, 12; Paris, 11; and Prince Michael II ("Blanket"), 7 living without the father who shielded them away from all the madness as much as he could.

In a new report published by People.com the children are doing remarkably well given the circumstances.

According to Adam Streisand, an attorney for their grandmother and guardian Katherine Jackson.

"They're doing great, thanks to the love and support they've gotten,"

The children have had to adjust to being out in public without masks. A family source says "They like not wearing the masks, It's a different experience for them."

Will they follow in their famous father's footsteps and become entertainers? If the reports are true, they seem to be like their dad in more ways than one.

"Talking to Prince is like talking to Michael," says the family source. "He's so smart and mature – way beyond his age." Paris, meanwhile, "wants to be a singer."

Adds grandfather Joe, "I was so proud of my grandchildren [at the Grammys]. But I'm always proud of them."

Record Crowd Of 108,713 Watch The Eastern Conference Beat The West 141-139, At NBA All Star Game

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 8:00am

ARLINGTON – Everyone won.

The score that never matters in an All Star game, mattered less. Even the dunks, the no-look passes and torrents of 3-pointers were overshadowed.

The best players the NBA could assemble were overshadowed by scores of people that rarely moved at all.

The NBA All-Star game was won by the Eastern Conference, 141-139, but the significance was that 108,713 came to see it.

"This is amazing all of us, something we’ll be able to tell our kids’ kids, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, the game’s MVP with 28 points and 11 assists, said. "We were part of this."

Playing in a football stadium for the first time since San Antonio’s Alamodome doubled as the Spurs’ home, the 59th NBA All-Star game set a world record for a basketball time, surpassing the 78,129 that attended a Kentucky-Michigan State game in Detroit’s Ford Field in 2007.

"Some of the guys came up to me before the game and said, "This is unbelievable,’ " Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki said.

"It was amazing how many people came out to support us and see this game and be part of history. We needed a win at the end kind of to top the whole thing off. But other than that, had an amazing weekend and I will always remember this."

The sixth NBA All-Star Game in a domed stadium broke the attendance record for the game set by the 44,735 that attended the 1989 game in the Astrodome. Tickets went from $500 to $30 for standing room, with as much as 20 percent of the crowd not needing to pay at all.

Dallas owner Mark Cuban, standing a few feet from the court before the opening tip, looked from the players that had been introduced to the packed upper deck far away, and was beaming in triumph.

"I wish this is exactly how I pictured it," he said. "It’s better."

The game had the usual waves of scoring, with the Eastern
Conference building a 16-point third-quarter lead. But the East never could quite pull away.

With the game tied, Wade took off with a flurry of steals and slams in an 11-2 East run, but the West rallied back again.

Chauncey Billups, who had 14 fourth-quarter points hit a 3, Nowitzki drew a foul and made both free throws and Billups scored again to tie the game with 65 seconds to play.

After Wade stripped Deron Williams, Williams lost track of the score and intentionally fouled
Wade to stop the clock with 12.5 seconds left, even though the game was tied. Wade made both free throws.

The West naturally set up Nowitzki to take a 3 for the win, but Nowitzki pumped Dwight Howard off his feet, drawing a foul, and putting in two free throws to tie the game with 7.7 seconds remaining.

"I actually had Dwight Howard in the air, so what I should have done was jump it to him, got three free throws instead of two and we would have been up by one," Nowitzki said.

It would not have mattered.

With one hometown star tying the game, another won it. The Raptors’ Chris Bosh, who is from Dallas, got a step on Billups and drew a foul, making both free throws with five seconds left.

"Yeah, it’s a little different, especially it’s the All-Star Game," Bosh said of taking crucial free throws in such a setting. "We got serious at the end. We wanted to win the game, 108,000 people are watching. It’s a different kind of setting."

With little time left, the East quickly got the ball to Carmelo Anthony missed a 3 for the win at the buzzer, with Bosh wrapping up the rebound and the win.

""We wanted to go for the win," Anthony said. "George (Karl, Anthony’s Nuggets coach, who coached the West) the Western tried to draw up a play. We wanted to go for the win. It was history tonight. If I made it, I was a hero. If not, that was the game. They were all saying they wanted me to take the shot. I felt good having All Star guys telling me they wanted me to get the shot."

When he missed, the West lost it’s last chance. But it hardly mattered. More than ever, the results were secondary, with the attendance the most important part of the box score.

"It was unbelievable for us to be part of moment like this," Anthony said. "I don’t think we’ll ever be part of another game or situation like this again. It was incredible. It was great."

Reality Star Flavor Flav $64,000 Behind In Child Support Payments

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on February 15, 2010 at 6:30am

Public Enemy hypeman turned reality TV star Flavor Flav (William Drayton, Jr.) will soon answer charges that he owes $63,458.00 in back child support to the mother of three of his children.

According to the Albany County Child Support Collection Division, Mary Parker originally had an agreement in place since 1996 that covered the former couple's two children at the time. However, Parker moved to have the agreement amended in July 2008 after the birth of a third child.

She was successful with an appeal last month, and a judge ordered Flavor Flav’s weekly payment of $117 increased to $837.72, along with requirements to cover private school tuition fees dating back to the original 2008 amendment filing.

Flav, who celebrates his 51st birthday next month, explained that he will contest the order on the grounds that he’s made payments to his children’s mother beyond the court decreed amount.

"The judgment is recent as I was just made aware of it," Flav stated to the NY Post. "I'll certainly be addressing it. However, I've made payments on my children's tuition, and have made direct payment to the mother outside of the court order."

Since finding success on several VH1 reality shows (Surreal Life, Strange Love, Flavor of Love) in the mid 2000s, Flavor Flav has been attacked by several family members for alleged financial abandonment.

In January 2009, a daughter accused him of bring a bad parent for reneging on a promise to pay for her final semester of college, and only seeing her one week out the year.

Karen Ross-Fortunate, another mother of three of Flav’s children, went public in stating the Public Enemy member did not financially support his children, in particular their eldest son’s college tuition expenses.

Flav has seven children, the last being a boy named Karma born in 2007.

At press time, Flavor Flav’s Albany County child support case does not have a court date.
