Cent Boycott |
Contact Music reports: 50 CENT's upcoming
movie GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' has sparked outrage among Los Angeles community
leaders, who are repulsed by the gun theme in advertisements for the film.
Billboards, posters and other ads for the
movie depict the rapper brandishing two handguns as a promotion for the
movie, which is based loosely on the star's real-life rise to musical success
from the streets of New York City.
Website AllHipHop.com reports the campaign
has led to a call for a boycott from a number of organisations.[see full

Jackson |
hecklerspray reports: It takes a lot for Janet
Jackson to outshine her brother Michael. She doesn't sell as many records
as him, isn't as instantly recognisable as him, and even her blatant publicity
stunts - like flapping her norks about during the Super Bowl - are overshadowed
by things like Michael's child molestation court cases.
But it finally looks like she has found
the thing that will - briefly, at least - make her more famous than her
brother. For it's been revealed that Janet Jackson probably has a secret
teenage daughter.[see full story for more]- Click
