Funny. We just brought up this movie yesterday and now the trailer has just been released. Check it out here and let me know what you think.

Nike has released another viral LeBron video all in anticipation for his big career changing announcement on January 18th. The net is speculating he is going to announce a rap album perhaps with the help of Jay-Z. Or maybe he will attempt to play another sport like Bo Jackson. Hockey perhaps? Anyone else have any ideas?

Looks like the ladies aren’t the only ones that have gone cold for Usher. The grapes have gone sour for Mr. Raymond as his Atlanta wine bar “Grape” has closed its doors for good. Usher opened the bar back in 2006 with other partners but according to Access Atlanta “the wine bar, bistro and wine retailer rolled into one ‚Äî did not reopen in the New Year and did not renew its liquor license with the Georgia Department of Revenue.”

Three other brances of “Grape” remain open although the parent company filed for bankruptcy. Usher was brought on as a investor who was primarily used to promote the bar. Originally he had planned to take “Grape” to the next level by opening wine bars from Shanghai to South America. He got as far as Atlanta. Via: Sandra Rose

Just when we showed the first photo of Diddy on the set of “CSI: Miami” he goes and releases his new video blog directly from the crime drama set. But instead of pushing his two-episode guest appearance, he is pushing the release of Notorious instead. Just three more days until it comes out in theaters.

Mos Def filmed the comedy Next Day Air waaaay back in Sept. 2007 but the movie failed to pick up a studio to distribute it. But now, after two years on the shelf, Summit Entertainment (studio that gave Twilight a chance after other studios passed on it) will release Next Day Air on May 8, 2009. Movie has a Pineapple Express meets Friday type feel and also stars Donald Faison, Lauren London, Mike Epps and is the movie directorial debut of music director Benny Boom.

Life isn’t going smoothly for Leo Jackson (Faison). He still lives at home, he just broke up with his girlfriend and he’s had so many complaints about his sloppy work habits that his own mother is threatening to fire him. But Leo isn’t one to let a few bad breaks ruins his day — as long as he’s got plenty of weed to take his mind off his troubles. But when the wacked-out courier accidentally delivers a box containing 10 kilos of high quality cocaine to the wrong apartment, it sets in motion a hilarious and harrowing chain of events that could cost him his life.

America’s Top Selling Rapper Transforms The Lives Of At-Risk Teens In A Series Of Interventions While Grappling With His Own Demons

Universal City, CA РAs he begins counting down the days to his impending March 2009 sentencing for weapons charges, Grammy-winning superstar T.I. finds himself at a remarkable crossroads. At the very apex of his career, he’s facing up to thirty years of jail time for an arrest stemming from his earlier life. However, as part of a deal worked out between his lawyers and the federal government, if he completes an amazing 1000 hours of community service during the year ending this March, that sentence may be reduced. At 27, finding himself at the very high- and low-point of his adult life, he’s seeking redemption in helping others avoid the mistakes he made. In the new docu-series “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” cameras follow T.I.’s efforts to save himself by saving others. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” is a moving title. Each week, the title will change to reflect the amount of time left to his sentencing. The final episode will air shortly after T.I.’s fate is revealed. In order to communicate his message, he has to give each teenager a tough love lesson in life and show them the consequences of what could happen if they continue down the wrong path. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” will premiere on Tuesday, February 10 at 9:00PM (ET/PT). Subsequent episodes will air in the show’s regular timeslot at 9:30pm (ET/PT).

“MTV has always given artists a platform to get their stories and music out to their fans and this series reveals the unknown side of T.I.– one of the world’s greatest artists at the most precarious time in his life,” said Tony DiSanto, Executive Vice President, Series Development and Programming. “In the face of impending incarceration, T.I. is driven to ensure others do not make the same mistakes, and our cameras document every step along this road as he impacts and changes lives for the better. It is real-time redemption.”

In “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go,” viewers will not only watch as T.I. attempts to help change the lives of desperate teenagers across the country but they will also get a behind-the-scenes peek at the most private and personal moments of one of today’s hottest most sought after artists on the verge of leaving his glittering career for time behind bars.

The series will follow T.I. as he talks to school and community groups about how to avoid the trouble he now finds himself in, but it will also follow a search for personal redemption. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” chronicles the rap icon’s dedicated mission to educate today’s youth on the issues of his past that have come back to haunt him today. Along the way, we will see the birth of his sixth child, the release of his most ambitious, reflective, and mature work yet, “Paper Trail,” his long and serious journey to transform the lives of a group of at risk teens, his ongoing struggle to manage his personal life while completing 1000 hours of community service and most importantly, coming to terms with going to jail at the height of his career. “We visited T.I. early in 2008 while he was under house arrest in Georgia and found a man utterly unlike his rap persona,” said Ish Entertainment Principals Stella Stolper and Michael Hirschorn. “He felt that he was undergoing a karmic reckoning, a time when he would have to balance the scales of his life and integrate who he was with who he is. We’ve never seen someone so introspective, so smart about how who he was back in the slums of Atlanta is affecting who he is now.”

“T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” is Executive Produced by T.I. Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Chris Choun of Ish Entertainment. Billy Taylor, Jason Geter (Grand Hustle) and Brian Sher (Category 5 Entertainment) are Executive Producers.

Here is the first look of Diddy on the set of “CSI: Miami” with good ol Horatio. In his guest appearance, Diddy plays defense attorney Derek Powell caught in a criminal investigation case that only CSI can solve. Diddy’s episode will appear in February. Diddy stated the following about his role in the show and working with David Caruso:

“The CSI: Miami team is like the Yankees. Me coming on the set, I’m like a Little League player with the Yankees. [David Caruso], he’s like Obi-Wan Kenobi or something! He taught me so much and let me ask questions and protected me. He’s like the coach of the team.”
