Oprah Not Publicly Supporting Obama in Upcoming 2012 Election

Will and Jaden Smith to Star Alongside Each Other in New Sci-Fi Movie

Looks like there is no stopping the multi-talented Smith family.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Hollywood heavyweight Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith are set to star alongside each other in an upcoming untitled sci-fi movie to be directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The announcement was confirmed by Columbia Pictures president, Doug Belgrad on Monday.

Speaking on the project, Belgrad said:

“Night is an outstanding filmmaker who has a tremendous vision for this science-fiction adventure story and we couldn’t be more excited to be working again with Jaden after our experiences on The Pursuit of Happyness and The Karate Kid. We’re thrilled to have the two of them together on this project.”

The film is set 1,000 years into the future, and centers on a young boy who navigates an abandoned (and sometimes scary) Earth in order to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.
This won’t be the first time that the Smith men have co-starred in a film together. They both appeared in the hit movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” in 2006.

50 Cent Saved Jeremih from Being Dropped from Def Jam?

If 50 Cent didn’t appear on R&B singer Jeremih’s hit single Down on Me, the up and coming R&B singer would have been dropped from Def Jam. And this isn’t purely Mr Jackson’s ego talking …. it’s the truth.
In 2010, Jeremih released his sophomore album All About You, which failed to blow up and make a strong impact. Because of this, his label was on the verge of dropping him. But luckily for the “Birthday Sex” singer, Mr. Curtis (and YouTube sensation Keenan Cahill) stepped in right on time.
Speaking on Hot 97 with Angie Martinez, 50 said:

“They was counting Jeremih out completely. He was already gon’ be dropped from Def Jam before Down on Me. He was definitely gonna be in a position where he was getting dropped because the first week sales was really low on the record.”

Deciding to prove his critics wrong, 50 jumped on the record purely based on Jeremih’s ability rather than receiving the fat pay check that he’s accustomed to:

“We did the song, I didn’t care. I was just looking at him as an artist and I said he sounds good, and I thought he was a dope artist, so I said I’ma do it. And we did the song, and then it took off. It’s been number one for what, five weeks now?”

H&M’S STAR-STUDDED FASHION AGAINST AIDS COLLECTION

Artists from the worlds of film and music are supporting Fashion Against AIDS (FAA) this Spring, H&M’s and Designers Against AIDS’s (DAA) mutual initiative to help spread the message of safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention to young people around the globe.

Selma Blair, Penn Badgley, Keri Hilson, Sky Ferreira, Akon, Nikki Reed, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scissor Sisters, Shiloh Fernandez and The Misshapes are among the celebrities involved in this year’s FAA collection, which for 2011 is a unisex range. The collection is available online and in H&M’s Divided department from April 26th, with 25% of sales donated to the charity Designers Against AIDS (DAA) and various other international HIV/AIDS prevention projects. The FAA campaigns have so far raised more than 41 million Swedish krona. The talent for the campaign was aligned by international talent brand agency Above & Beyond Talent Group (@AAB_TALENTGROUP) who handle talent branding activities for a galaxy of stars such as Keri Hilson, David Guetta, Keri Hilson, Miguel etc linking them with global brands.

“This campaign is fantastic and its a real honour to work with H&M and DAA. I hope this campaign helps to spread a very important message in a very fashionable way” Daren Dixon CEO Above & Beyond Talent Group

“I think it’s really fitting that this collection is androgynous in style since the disease affects both men and women. It’s a universal thing and we are all in this together. It’s a disease that can be avoided and it’s especially tragic when our ignorance keeps us from safety.” Selma Blair.

“I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve been in the situation where their friends and family have been affected by HIV. As I travel the world, I see how much HIV affects people. It’s not like we have a cure for HIV, we only have prevention. Make sure you are protected so that you don’t ever have to worry about it. Ever.” Akon.

“Artists are an essential part of our campaigns, as they are role models for so many young people. Celebrities help to spread the message by speaking out about HIV/AIDS prevention. We’re asking them to help spread the safe sex message on social media: Twitter, Facebook, their own websites and at their concerts too.” Ninette Murk, founder and creative director, DAA.

When the stars come together for H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS campaign, it really shows this year’s unisex collection at its best. Selma Blair wears a stylish Spring coat over a slogan T-shirt, while Penn Badgley wears an essential hoodie over his T-shirt. Shiloh Fernandez sports a khaki nylon parka, T-shirt and jeans; Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters wears her peach version of the trench as a dress. Singer Keri Hilson has a cool slogan jumpsuit. It’s all so versatile, and all helps spreading the message about HIV/AIDS prevention.

Floyd Mayweather Owes the IRS Over $3 Million Dollars in Back Taxes

Although Floyd Mayweather is usually the one landing the body blows, The IRS just dealt the boxing champ a very sweet blow of its own.
Mayweather was just hit with a $3.4 million bill, reports the Detroit News, who discovered that the lien was for unpaid 2009 federal income taxes.
This isn’t the undefeated fighter’s first time in the ring with the government. In 2008, Floyd was hit with a $6.1 million tax bill. But he eventually worked out a payment plan with the feds for that one.
Mayweather, who goes by the nickname Money, tweeted and did a radio interview last month about winning $37,000 on a Chicago Bulls game (it was a legal bet in Vegas). Hopefully he’ll remember to report that when he does his 2011 taxes.
