Aubrey O’Day to star in MTV’s “A Shot At Love”

Aubrey O’Day x A Shot At Love. From one midget to the next…well Aubrey has two midgets. But yes, word is that Aubrey is set to replace Tila Tequila in MTV’s dating show “A Shot At Love.” A source recently told Perez:

She’s in final negotiations. Aubrey will be singing the theme song and hopes this opportunity will help her launch a solo recording career.”

I thought Diddy unofficially ran MTV. The only way he will let this happen is if he is getting exec producer credit and gets paid for it. In other words, he will probably make it happen. That Diddy guy is smart. Via: HIpHopCrunch

Mos Def bans the “N” word on movie “Next Day Air”

Mos Def x Next Day Air. Mos Def will be starring in the upcoming urban comedy Next Day Air but there is one thing that his movie will be missing…the “N” word. Mos Def along with actor Wood Harris both challenged each other not to use the word on set or in actual filming as well. Harris stated:

“It was something that was very important to us. It was our way of making a statement that we can express ourselves without using the ‘N’ word,” Harris explained. “But it wasn’t just in the movie that we banned the word. We also banned it on the set. No one could say it at all.

“At first it was difficult, but we really stayed on top of each other,” he continued. “By the end of … filming, I don’t know if it was something that even came up. We just didn’t say it, and had no desire to. I hope that other people will start trying to find new ways to express themselves as well.”

WoooHa applauds their efforts and from what we have seen Next Day Air looks to be a fun, crazy adventure. It’s moves like these that show urban films do not need to be stereotypical or stick to certain formulas to work. Movie comes out next week May 8th against Star Trek.

The Danity Kane VISA Card

Danity Kane x VISA. Just what every girl wants. A credit card featuring a failed all-girl band that is now defunct. Bad timing for pre-paid VISA card company MyPlash which just released this official Danity Kane version. Aubrey O’Day says “no thanks”….she already has plenty of plastic already. Oh! Get it? Plastic?

50 Cent on episode of “Gossip Girl”?

50 Cent x Twelve. Although 50 is pictured here with “Gossip Girl” star Chance Crawford looking all BFF, luckily for the state of hip-hop 50 will not be guest starring on the tween girl show. These shots were actually taken yesterday in New York on the set of the new movie Twelve which also stars Crawford, Keifer Sutherland and Emma Roberts.

Movie is about a young drug dealer as his high-rolling life is dismantled in the wake of his cousin’s murder, which sees his best friend arrested for the crime. Surprisingly 50 does not play that specific main character drug dealer. He just plays a different drug dealer. Twelve does not currently have a studio attached to it so no release date is set until someone buys it up. More pics after the jump…. Continue Reading…

Lil Wayne & T-Pain rank higher than Obama on TIME 100 poll

Lil Wayne x T-Pain x TIME. TIME Magazine has just released their famed TIME 100 Poll which lists the top 100 most influential people in the world based on voting by readers. The current poll result highlights include:

#9: Kobe Bryant
#12: Lil Wayne
#34: T-Pain
#37: Barack Obama

Yes, according to current poll results T-Pain is more influential in the world than President Obama. I can see how Kobe is more influential than the Prez simply for the fact Barack can’t score 32 points a game. But T-Pain? Apparently TIME readers are now 12 year old kids from the suburbs. Yes…Jonas Brothers are #33. Don’t believe WoooHa?
