Kanye West x Nike Air Yeezys. Unless you living under a rock, then you know the AIr Yeezys drop this Saturday for a cool $215.

Common officially NOT the Green Lantern in Justice League movie

Common x The Green Lantern. Last year Hollywood was filled with the rumors that Common and Tyrese were both front runners to play The Justice League superhero The Green Lantern in Warner Bros. upcoming movie. Well now word on the street is that Common has officially been ruled out for the upcoming Green Lantern movie which is slated for a Dec. 17, 2010 release and will be directed by Martin Campbell who directed the 007 film Casino Royale.

The reason why Common is officially out? At first Warner Brothers was looking into developing the script around John Stewart, who was the African-American Green Lantern. But after a series of production issues and script rewrites, the movie will be focused on Hal Jordan, who is Caucasian. Word is Chris Pine who will be starring in the upcoming Star Trek movie is the new frontrunner to play the role of Jordan. And there you have it. At least all you Common lovers can see him in the upcoming Terminator: Salvation.

Jadakiss promotes Twitter

Jadakiss x Twitter. I think it’s time that Twitter start making money off their site. Maybe start an “urban” channel with all the MCs and R&B stars tweeting it up. And now even the hardest of MCs co-signs Twitter. In a recent radio interview Jadakiss states:

“I was doing satellite radio and Angela Yee. She was like, “Kiss, you got to get on Twitter” I say ‘What’s Twitter?! I signed up right there. I got bout a thousand followers. Now, I’m up to prolly like six, seven, eight thousand followers. So, yeah. Diddy is on Twitter, Shaq. All type of people. Twitter is poppin! The NBA is on Twitter!”

So what if Jada is a little late to the game. You can check him out on his Twitter name “TheRealKiss.” And if you ever have a bad day or are just feelin a little down in the dumps well then head over to Diddy’s motivational speaker Twitter. Although we all know it’s his assistant tweetin it up while feeding Diddy and Cassie cheesecake. Via: RR
