2 Live Crew Leader Announced Plans To Turn Book Into Movie; Reveals Which Comedian He’d Like To Play Him

MINNEAPOLIS – Uncle Luke said the success surrounding NWA’s biopic has sparked interest in bringing 2 Live Crew’s story to the big screen.

Uncle Luke just released his new tome, “The Book of Luke,” about his time in the controversial hip-hop group, and said he’s been fielding offers to turn the book into a film.

“With the (buzz) of ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ people wanna hear the story of 2 Live Crew,” Luke, born Luther Campbell, said Aug. 6 during a Q&A at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. “They didn’t go to jail. They didn’t go to the Supreme Court.”

2 Live Crew brought raunchy lyrics to America a generation before hip-hop acts like Future and ASAP Rocky rapped about their sexual escapades. Cops arrested the group on obscenity charges after a performance in Florida, but they were later acquitted.

The group’s copyright infringement case over its parody of Roy Orbison’s hit, “Pretty Woman,” made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sided with the notorious rappers.

2 Live Crew As Nasty As They Wanna Be

Back at the Q&A, Uncle Luke revealed his top choice to play him in the movie.
“He’s asked me quite a few times, that if there’s a movie about you, you’ve gotta let me be you – Mike Epps,” he said.

The “Me So Horny” rapper said his “anger” about his group not receiving the recognition he felt they deserved prompted him to write the book, which he said took him about a year and a half with the help of a ghostwriter.

Most people get to tell their “story when they pass away,” he said. “And they tell it the way they wanna tell it. So I’m like, I’m happy, I’m good right now. So that’s my story there.”

Old Head Beef: 75-Year-Old Alabama Mayor Beaten With Baseball Bat For Chopping Down Friend’s Wife

75-Year-Old Alabama Mayor Beaten With Bat For Sleeping With Friend’s Wife

Geriatric gangsta s#!t…

Via DailyBeast

A senior citizen reportedly attacked Talladega’s 75-year-old mayor with a baseball bat Saturday—an early bird beating that sent both men to the hospital and that one local attorney claims is revenge over a sex tape.

Mayor Larry Barton was ready to start his 8 a.m. shift at an Alabama barbershop when he noticed a man in a trench coat waiting for him. Barton said the attacker slugged him in the face when he tried exiting his car.

“He told me he had to kill me,” Barton told AL.com from the hospital, where he was being treated for facial injuries Sunday.

During the struggle, Barton said he pulled the hood off the suspect to reveal the man’s identity. The mayor has fingered the suspect as 71-year-old Benny Green—a friend turned foe and former cohost on Barton’s public access television show, “In the Interest of the People.”

“Ain’t no doubt about it,” Barton added. “If I hadn’t kicked him twice in the balls I’d be dead. If he had been able to get me out of the car it would have been over.”

Police would not identify the suspect pending charges. Lt. Brian Gilham told The Associated Press that he expected felony charges to be filed Monday. But the cop offered a clue to one Alabama reporter: the assault was sparked over “domestic issues.”

Meanwhile, Stewart Springer, a former attorney for Green, said the mayor got what he deserved for supposedly betraying his longtime friend. He told The Daily Beast that Barton was likely attacked because he allegedly bedded Green’s wife around the time the couple filed for divorce in 2013. (A message left at Barton’s home was not returned. Green’s ex-wife declined to comment, and his divorce attorney could not be reached.)

Apparently this lawyer is a muhfuggin’ funny guy…

“This idiot goes and sleeps with his wife,” Springer told The Daily Beast. “These are not young people having sex. I would get it if they were 20 or 30 [years old] with hormones raging. These folks are 70 and knocking it out.”

“It gives me hope for the future,” Springer added.

Seal Erica Packer Formentera Spain pregnancy rumors

Seal Set To Be New Dad With Girlfriend Erica Packer

Look at lil Lou lookin’ like “Baby? What baby? I’M THE BABY!!!” Word on the curb though is that Lou won’t be the youngest of Seal’s kids for much longer.

According to Daily Mail reports:

Erica Packer is reportedly expecting her first child with new boyfriend Seal, sources claim.

The 38-year-old model has enjoyed a series of tactile displays with British singer Seal during their current holiday aboard Arctic P – the sprawling super-yacht owned by her estranged husband, billionaire casino mogul James Packer.

But while their relationship is still in its early stages, sources tell New Idea that Erica – a mother of three – has already fallen pregnant.

‘They’re over the moon,’ an insider reportedly told the publication. ‘While they went public with their romance only a couple of weeks ago, they’ve actually been quietly dating for a few months now.

The claims come as New Idea publish images of Erica holding her stomach during a day out with the London born singer off the coast of Balearic party island Ibiza.
Sporting an orange vest, the brunette is seen with a palm pressed against her abdomen as the couple make their way across the beach.

Erica is already a parent to Indigo, seven, Jackson, five and two-year old Emmanuelle with Packer, while Seal is a father to Henry, 10, Johan, eight and five-year old Lou with his ex wife, German supermodel Heidi Klum. He is also the adopted father of Helene, Heidi’s 11-year-old daughter with Formula One manager Flavio Briatore.

Jeez that’s a lot of kids. So Seal will be daddy to four kids and stepdad to another four??? He must be glad that “Kiss From A Rose” publishing is getting a boost thanks to the “Vacation” movie.

Seal and Heidi were spied having a family dinner with the kids at Nobu in NYC this weekend. Peep some photos from that and his latest vacay with Erica Packer below:

Ferguson, Missouri Under State Of Emergency After Peaceful Protest Turns Violent

*sigh*

Via USAToday

St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger declared a state of emergency Monday after Ferguson protests on the anniversary of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer turned violent overnight.

“In light of last night’s violence and unrest in the city of Ferguson, and the potential for harm to persons and property, I am exercising my authority as county executive to issue a state of emergency effective immediately,” Stenger said in a statement. “The recent acts of violence will not be tolerated in a community that has worked so tirelessly over the last year to rebuild and become stronger.”

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar is immediately taking control of policing in Ferguson, under the order.

At least three people were shot and four arrested overnight Monday as peaceful protests on Sunday became violent. Belmar told a news conference at 3:30 a.m. that one suspect who was shot by police is in “critical, unstable” condition in a local hospital and undergoing surgery.

Deray Netta

We can only hope that the brother who was shot pulls through and is able to recount his story.

Speaking Monday at the national conference of the Fraternal Order of Police in Pittsburgh, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she “strongly condemned’’ the violence in Ferguson.

“As we have seen over the recent months and years, not only does violence obscure any message of peaceful protest, it places the community, as well as the officers who seek to protect it, in harm’s way,’’ Lynch said. “Incidents of violence, such as we saw last night, are contrary to both that message, along with everything that all of us, including this group, have worked to achieve over the past year.”

Cornel West, and several prominent protesters including DeRay McKesson, 30, and Johnetta Elzie, 26, were arrested Monday afternoon during a protest outside the U.S. courthouse in St. Louis. The demonstration was part of a move by several clergy members to purposefully be detained by police.

With the state of emergency officially declared, the national guard is now primed to deploy and further escalate the tension amongst the peaceful protesters and the anxious police.

We hope and pray that tonight’s protest doesn’t mirror last year’s scenes of tear gas, tanks and terror.

For Discussion: Should Dr. Dre Be Forced To Answer For His History As A Woman Beater?

Dee Barnes  Dr. Dre YouTube

Why Is ‘Compton’ Producer Dr. Dre Allowed To Leave His History As An Abuser Of Women In The Past?

Why are so many folks reluctant to approach the subject of the real “Beats By Dre?” That’s the question that’s been swirling around recent discussions of producer/rapper Dr. Dre who just released his latest album Compton to coincide with the upcoming premiere of the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton.

In a For Harriet editorial, writer Crystal Irby hammers out the reasons why it’s high time Dr. Dre answer questions about his legacy as an abuser:

There is one man who has, for decades, evaded being held accountable for his violence against Black women: hip-hop mogul and producer, Dr. Dre. As we near the release of Straight Out of Compton—one the most anticipated movies to document hip-hop culture—we must question, why are we still largely overlooking that Dr. Dre is also a known abuser of Black women?

Women who spoke out against violent, misogynist behavior in the 1990s were deemed as women trying to tear down Black men. Robin Givens will forever be a gold digger, rather than a victim of domestic violence. Mike Tyson was given a hero’s welcome by Harlem after being convicted of raping Desiree Washington, while she disappeared into oblivion by changing her identity and undergoing cosmetic surgery. C. Dolores Tucker is remembered more for her fight against the misogynist tone of N.W.A. lyrics than her historic work as politician and feminist. Anita Hill was accused of participating in the “high-tech lynching” of Clarence Thomas when she testified about the sexual harassment she endured while working for the now Supreme Court Justice Thomas at the EOCC. And Dee Barnes, host of the 90’s show Pump It Up, was “a bitch who got what she deserved” after Dr. Dre beat her, because she did an interview with Ice Cube, in which he dissed the group N.W.A. after having recently left it.

Since Michel’le has began to openly discuss the abuse she endured while in a relationship with Dr. Dre, every interview she does becomes about him. While it is important for victims to speak their truth, we must see them also as survivors. We cannot allow victimhood to cast such a long shadow over their lives, that it erases their identity. On the other hand, when it comes to high-profile perpetrators of violence against women, society is more than eager to move past their transgressions.

The mayor of Compton offered Dr. Dre the key to the city. Social media is proving that the world is beaming with anticipation, awaiting the official release of Straight Outta Compton. Meanwhile the film completely erases the women Dr. Dre assaulted in the early 1990s, despite there having been some mainstream media coverage of the incidents at the time.

Yes, Dr. Dre’s career is impressive. However, it does not atone for the acts of violence he committed against women. Atonement cannot occur without accountability. Journalists, writers, filmmakers, and musicians—especially those who say they are fighting to dismantle systemic oppression—must hold Dr. Dre responsible for the pain he inflicted on these women. To write create stories and music around his legacy without acknowledging his violence is an injustice.

Do you agree with this writer’s point of view? If you have the time you should also check out this Medium article where Byron Crawford breaks down alleged abuse against Tairrie B, Michel’e and Dee Barnes, some of which has been substantiated in interviews.

Fair Or Foul? $188 Million Lottery Winner Spends $9 Million On Her Alleged Drug Dealer Fiance’s Bail

$188 Million Lottery Winner Blasted For Posting Fiance’s Bail

The 26-year-old mother of four who won $188 million in the lottery and was praised for seemingly planning to use it on her child with cerebral palsy, is now getting blasted.

Marie Holmes is currently the subject of criticism for bailing her fiance, an accused drug dealer allegedly caught with 8,000 bags of heroin, out of jail not once—but TWICE.
Via WWavy TV 3:

The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed WWAY’s earlier FIRST ON 3 report that a man in jail under $6 million bond has been released from the Brunswick County Jail.

Lamarr McDow has been in jail since deputies arrested him July 23 for allegedly violating the curfew requirements of his pre-trial release. Deputies arested McDow at the Shallotte home he shares with Marie Holmes. Prosecutors say Holmes, who won a $188 million Powerball jackpot in February, was behind McDow’s release on $3 million bond in March just weeks after she won the jackpot.

A Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman says a bondsman posted today’s bond for McDow, who was released with a GPS monitoring device. Bondsmen do not have to reveal who paid them to post bond, but Holmes apparently responded to criticism from readers on our Facebook page.

“What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money and not how I spend mine this is benefitting Y’all how? And no he’s no drug dealer or user but who are Y’all to judge anybody? I will definitely pray for Y’all because it’s much need…they talked about Jesus so I’m not surprised Y’all are talking about me but be blessed though,” read a comment from Holmes’s Facebook account on a post about McDow’s release.

McDow, who goes by the street name “Hot Sauce” was one of three suspects arrested in November 2014 as part of a year-long investigation. He was charged with crimes including trafficking heroin and possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin. The investigation stemmed from an incident in July in the Shallotte area when more than 8,000 bags of heroin was seized.

McDow’s criminal history includes convictions for assault on a female, assault and several counts of drug possession dating back to 2000.

Holmes, 26, walked away with nearly $88 million after taking the lump sum and paying taxes on her mid-February Powerball win. She and several other people were charged with drug possession after a search of the home after deputies smelled marijuana when they came to get McDow. Investigators also charged him for possession of a firearm by a felon after finding a gun in the house during their search.

Not that we’re counting anyone’s coins buuuuuuuuut $9 million on bail seems wasteful.

What do YOU think??? Fair or foul???

No Broke Baller: Detroit Lions Star Ryan Broyles And His Wife Live On This Much To Save For Their Future…

Lions Star Ryan Broyles And His Wife Live On $60K A Year

Detroit Lions baller Ryan Broyles has revealed that despite signing a multi-million dollar rookie contract, he and his wife only live on about $60,000 a year. But why?

Via ESPN:

Ryan Broyles grabs his cell phone every morning over breakfast and pores over the latest transactions. What the Detroit Lions wide receiver is looking at, though, has nothing to do with football.

In the past three-plus years, Broyles has become immersed in the financial world. His planning throughout his career allowed him to make a lot of investments. So when he laments the S&P 500 has “been sideways” most of the year, he has good reason.

It all started after a meeting with a financial adviser soon after being drafted in 2012. The adviser gave Broyles some advice he used to shape his life: Spend as you would like over the next few months. Figure out your means. Then set a budget, live within it and invest the rest.

Broyles signed a contract worth more than $3.6 million after being taken in the second round. More than $1.422 million was guaranteed. But Broyles knew the other statistics — ones reinforced when he went to the rookie symposium.

He knew NFL players, and athletes in general, go bankrupt. He saw athletes blow through millions. He was determined not to have that happen to him.

He came up with a budget. Broyles said he and his wife, Mary Beth, have lived on $60,000 a year, “give or take,” throughout his career. Everything else has gone to investments, retirement savings and securing Broyles’ post-football monetary future.

Broyles wanted to make sure his NFL career, however long it lasts, really did set him up for life.

ryan2

The Lions baller says his NFL future is not guaranteed so he must live frugally for the sake of his family’s future…

“Then you know how much you can invest, how risky you can be,” Broyles said, as he enters the last year of his rookie contract with no guarantee he’ll make the Lions’ roster. “Then, when I was hitting the same budget over three, four, five months, it was all right, this is what your budget is and I had some spending money.

“I didn’t hold myself back at all on those terms. That’s what I tell people when they want to start to invest, I tell them to live your life and see where you stand and then pull back. Don’t pull back without even knowing.”

He has no problem driving a red Ford Focus rental car during training camp this year. It’s why he and his wife drive Mazdas — he recently bought a new one — and he still has his 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer from college.

Broyles wouldn’t go into specifics about his investments — just smiling wide when asked. Despite some big changes in his life this offseason — the couple bought their first home in Texas and had their first child, Sebastian — he doesn’t feel any more pressure to succeed on the field because he has an extra mouth to feed.

“The pressure I put on myself is just being the best player I am,” Broyles said. “I would never play [just] for money, you know what I mean, that’s not my intentions whatsoever.

“Whatever comes, it’s just a blessing. But I got the mindset of a businessman off the field, I’ll tell you that.”

Kudos to this NFL baller for living frugally and investing for his future. Why don’t more athletes learn how to better manage their money??

Rosie Perez Quits ‘The View’ After Being Forced To Apologize To Kelly Osbourne

F*** the ABC executives as a station, a staff and a muthaf***in’ crew. Surely you haven’t forgotten that Kelly Osbourne put her racist cankles in her mouth last week on live TV when she suggested that Donald Trump shouldn’t champion immigration reform because there would not be any latino people to clean his toilets. Well, it appears that Kelly’s comments have resulted in Rosie Perez’s early resignation from the s#!t show known as “The View”

Via DailyMail

Rosie Perez canceled her last appearances on The View after being forced to apologize to Kelly Osbourne for her anger at her co-star’s racist remark about Latinos, Daily Mail Online can reveal exclusively today. Rosie refused to turn up for her two, final live shows last week and skipped several, pre-taped appearances after having an intense blow-up with ABC executives over Kelly’s on-air comment. Kelly, 30, caused outrage after asking: ‘If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?’ during a Hot Topics segment about Donald Trump’s poll numbers within the community last Tuesday. A silence fell over the studio audience as other co-hosts were clearly taken aback. After a pause, Rosie, who has Puerto Rican heritage, mumbled: ‘Oh, that’s not… oh, no!’ and shook her head in disbelief.

Sounds like an extremely reserved response on Rosie’s part considering extremely disrespectful nature of what the chubby white jawn said.

When the cameras cut away, the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne burst into tears. ‘Everyone is going to think I’m racist. I can’t believe this,’ she cried, as producers of the show and her personal handlers ran to her side. At the time, ABC execs cornered Rosie during the break and demanded she apologize to Kelly in the last segment of the live broadcast, a source told Daily Mail Online. The show resumed and the topic wasn’t addressed again until the end of the show. During the last segment, Rosie started with: ‘I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being very sensitive.’ Kelly asked: ‘Why? You had every right.’

Why the F*** did Rosie owe the chubby white jawn an apology?!?!

Daily Mail Online has learned that ABC executives then gathered in Rosie’s room and demanded that she tweet an apology to her co-star. She told them: ‘I’ve already done more than enough by apologizing on air,’ before a loud argument took place. The source added: ‘She and the ABC executives had it out. She was yelling at them at the top of her lungs that their demands were disrespectful. ‘They were telling her that she better do exactly as they said. It was an ugly scene and Rosie was crying uncontrollably and outraged.’ Rosie posted a tweet on her official account, which read: ‘My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. Your heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView.’ After the Twitter post, Rosie then declared that she was ‘done with this f****** show’ and told the executives ‘to kiss her a**’ before storming out of the building and vowing never to return to ‘this s***hole of a place!’

If you’re keeping score at home, the racist tugboat commonly known as Kelly Osbourne is still employed by ABC after uttering a terribly offensive diatribe about latin people, and Rosie Perez, a latina woman, no longer has a job because she was angry at what Kelly said. ‘Merica. SMMFH.
