Danny Glover to Star in 'Highland Park'

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. (AP) - Actor Danny Glover will star in a movie that could help revive a shuttered library in Highland Park.

WATCH VAL CLARK'S REPORT IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT

The film project titled "Highland Park" was announced Monday at a news conference at the McGregor Library.

The story line is expected to mirror the ongoing struggle to reopen the Detroit-area library, which closed in March 2002 because the city could not afford to keep it open.

Lt. Gov. John Cherry Jr., Highland Park Mayor Hubert Yopp, along with officials from the Bureau of Motion Pictures, a California-based film company, attended the news conference announcing the film on the steps of the library.

Yopp tells the Detroit Free Press the library will undergo significant restoration and the movie will be a "stepping stone" to its reopening.

BLUEPRINT 3 DROPPIN ON TUESDAY!!

The release date for Jay-Z’s highly anticipated album The Blueprint 3 has been shuffled due to bootlegging and leaks on the Internet.

The new album will now be released this Tuesday (September 8, as opposed to the original date of Friday, September 11.)

Over the past two week, songs from The Blueprint 3 - mainly those produced by Timbaland - landed on net.

More recently, the entire album was leaked, prompting Jay-Z to address the issue in an interview.

“I may be the most bootlegged artist in history,” Jay-Z told MTV News during a press conference. “It’s a preview. I’m excited for people to hear the album. I’m very proud of the work I’ve done, so enjoy it.”

Will.I.Am + Miami Dolphins?!?!?!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!


Will.i.am wants to try out for the Miami Dolphins. The Black Eyed Peas rapper thinks he has the speed to be a great running back. Will claims he’s faster than Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson and says he’d be willing to race Olympic gold medalist and 100 meter world record holder Usain Bolt. Will said: “I’m very fast, beyond fast. I’ve raced Jamal Anderson and I smoked his a**. I am extremely fast and I’m proud of it. I take pride in my cheetah speed. So I want to put this talent to use.”

Will.i.am went on to say: “I always wanted to play football, from the age of 10 that was my dream. I always loved the game of American football. I’m sad that I never followed my football dreams. Lately I’ve been thinking, is it too late to do it now? No way! I want to try out for the Miami Dolphins.”

MAX B SENTENCED TO 75 YEARS?!......OOWWW!!!

Thursday, September 3, 2009, former Dipset associate Charly "Max B" Wingate was sentenced to 75 years behind bars for his part in a fatal 2006 robbery.

The rapper's step brother, Kelvin Leerdam, was sentenced to life in prison plus 35 years for his role in the crime.

Both Wingate and Leerdam looked resigned when Superior Court Judge Harry G. Carroll sentenced them in Hackensack, New Jersey. Wingate said he was not happy with his attorney, Gerald Saluti, and fired him during the hearing just before he received his sentence. Witnesses during trial testified that [the victims] David Taylor and his friend, Allan Plowden, were seen in Harlem a few days before the robbery, driving expensive cars and showing off a lot of cash. Leerdam's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said her client deserved some leniency because he was only 21 at the time of the incident. Carroll, however, handed out a stiff sentence, saying Leerdam took a firearm with him to the hotel "and did not hesitate to use it." (North Jersey News)

A week after being found guilty on murder conspiracy charges, Wingate gave his first phone interview...

"Shout-out to [Gerald] Saluti, he did a great job," Max said in a phone interview. "He did a great job with the trial, you know it's unfortunate. It's Bergen County. I thought the jurors had me but they didn't, you know. Them h*es got weak at the end...I ain't even got to talk, I'ma let my music talk and fight this sh*t from in here...Sounds like I'ma get that appeal bond, appeal bail and we gonna jump out this motherf*cker like Tupac...I went so hard on my enemies this year it was pathetic...I had a dream me and T.I. came home at the same time and just ran in the studio and made a hit. Shout-out to T.I., hold your head brother...I wanna settle all the differences with my enemies, I wanna tighten this sh*t up with [Jim Jones], get this sh*t squared away so we can fall back and start getting some checks before hopefully this sh*t get outta hand and turn into a Biggie and Tupac situation and we don't need that." (Hip Hop Stan)
