C-Murder politely asking you for $1,000 thru new website

C-Murder x CoreyMillerInnocenceFund.com. Corey Miller (AKA C-Murder AKA younger brother to multi-millionaire Master P) is asking for your money. Politely. Through a website. Apparently C-Muder’s current trial for murder has been taking a huge hit to his check book and he can’t afford to pay for his defense. So he has set up the website CoreyMillerInnocenceFund.com to help find 100 people to each donate $1,000 to his trial.

A couple things came to my mind as I saw this story on AHH. First, he should change his name to C-Innocence, and second, does he really think he can find 100 random people to give him $1,000 each? Why bother? Just call up your big bro Corey! Or even bum some dough off Romeo. And last thing…Twitter campaign Corey! It’s the hottness. Let Diddy pump it up for you….Let’s go people!

Will Smith prepping for “Men In Black 3″

Will Smith x Men in Black. After the rousing success of Fast & Furious this past weekend (over $70 million at the box office this weekend) you can expect a flury of sequels to be greenlit by Hollywood studios in the coming months. And soon enough, there are talks at Sony Pictures that a Men In Black 3 is already in development with the original producers.

These talks were confirmed when Sony Pictures’ President confirmed they were reigniting the franchise and targeting a 2011 release date. That’s all good for Will but let’s just hope this doesn’t mean a Hancock sequel as well…or even worse…a Seven Pounds sequel.
