R&B Singer Beyonce Knowles, who recently signed a $4.7 million endorsement deal with L'Oreal, has come under fire from various media outlets and the black blogosphere for being too “light.” Click Here For More...

In contrary, the Paris-based company said in a statement sent to the Associated Press, "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color."

Beyonce’s deal with L’Oreal is a five-year contract, which calls for her to work 10 days a year for photo shoots and to make promotional and personal appearances within that time.

L'Oreal has the option to extend those 10 days to 12 but will pay $25,000 a day for the extra time. Beyonce must keep her hair in "excellent condition" and notify the company if she plans to make "any radical change."

The GAME "Superman"









NEW YORK (AP) - Mary J. Blige has been sued in New York for $2 million by a company that says she stole some of the music she used on her latest hit album, including one used on an iPod commercial.

The Drama Family Entertainment company filed the lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday.

The lawsuit claims the company suffered copyright infringement because the singer's "Growing Pains" album contains the song "Work That." The suit says the song was created by a producer who worked for the company at the time.

The song was featured with a silhouetted Blige in an iPod commercial. Apple Inc. isn't named in the lawsuit.

A message left with a lawyer for the Grammy-winning singer Thursday hasn't been returned.

Chris Brown spoke to Mtv.com about T.I. produced movie "The Heist," which begins production in September, comes out.

In it, he'll be playing a murderous bank robber.

"It's a movie called 'The Heist' that I'm doing with T.I., Idris Elba and Matt Dillon," he told MTV News recently at the Teen Choice Awards, where he walked away with four awards. Click Here For More...He kept further details close to his chest. "I'm playing a killer. I'm not going to give anything else away!" he said. "It's a bank-robbing movie, so it's one of those action-packed films. You get a little different side of me in that movie."

Those ideas were also put forth by T.I. when MTV News spoke with him about this and other film projects back in June.

"You can definitely expect action, definitely," he said. "It will be very entertaining.

"It's a new-age, young, hip-hop [version of] 'Heat,' " Tip continued, referring to the 1995 flick that brought Robert De Niro and Al Pacino together. "These are young, cool, well-dressed, articulate bank robbers. [Chris] be the little homey."

But "Heist" isn't the only movie Brown is adding to his résumé. He's also expected to start work on several other movies, including "Traded" and the basketball flick "Phenom," both of which are slated for release next year.

Brown has said he hopes his acting will make him a better performer when it comes to his live shows. "At the end of the day, I'm going to focus on my music first," he said. "[But] me being onstage enhances me being in the movie, and then me being in the movie — acting, catching characters — gives me time to transform into a different character onstage."




Big Boi's Son Help Squash Beef

Thursday, August 07, 2008 | | 0 comments »

Big Boi and Killer Mike have set their differences aside, and their beef has been squashed. Wait ... there's a story behind it all though.

As reported earlier this week, the former friends had a falling out and recently spoke candidly, explaining their sides of the story, via two separate explanations. Click Here For More...

While Big Boi claimed Mike was released from his label, Purple Ribbon, with his blessing and then started bad mouthing him afterward, Killer Mike gave a much different account of what happened. He claims he went though a legal battle with Big Boi for his release, and that left a bitter taste in his mouth.

However, according to TheRezidue.com, the pair squashed their beef over the weekend after three years of non-communication. They finally spoke on the phone.

After Mike's recent video response, Big Boi responded via an interview on DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz radio show, which resulted in more shots being thrown out.

Mike had enough, picked up the phone, called a mutual friend, Bear Sills, and wanted to at least talk to Big to find out what was up.

According to TheRezidue.com, while Big was driving Mike reached Bear. Big Boi's son Cross was present, and heard the argument between Bear and Mike (Cross had no idea the former friends were not on speaking terms). Cross then asked Big, "You and Killer Mike not friends no more?" When Big told him no, his son sat there quiet and angry. When Big asked what was wrong, Cross responded "I'm mad you and Killer Mike not friends no more."

This is when it all turned around. Big Boi pulled over, stopped and told Bear to call Mike. The two spoke, and have since ironed out their differences.

What was said is not known, but the two have since met with each other, resulting in the photo seen above.
