0 Comments

Last night was the 36st annual American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. The award show was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. There were many performance from artists such as; Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Ne-Yo, Miley Cyrus, Pink, and Kanye West, just to name a few. The biggest winner of the night had to be R&B sensation Mr. Chris Brown. The 19 year-old left L.A. with three AMA awards which were: Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist for R&B/Soul and Favorite Male Artist for Pop/Rock. His girlfriend Rihanna won two awards which were for Favorite Female Artist in the same categories as Chris Brown. Kanye West won an award for best Rap/Hip-Hop album for his album Graduation and for favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist, which he decided to offer to Lil Wayne because he left that this year was Weezy’s and last year was his. It was good that Kanye won because I did not want to hear about another temper tantrum on stage from Kanye. Other notable winners were Alicia Keys for favorite Pop/Rock and Soul/R&B album, Three 6 Mafia who won Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Band, Duo or Group, and Mariah Carey was recognized for having the most #1 hits of all time.

KATT WILLIAMS NEEDS PSYCHIATRIC HELP

17. November 2008

Just a week after being arrested in New York on weapons charges, Katt Williams has been admitted into a mental hospital for psychiatric treatment. Williams was at a hotel in Sumter, South Carolina when an employee noticed him walking around during late hours just wearing a robe and a towel over his head. When the police showed up, Williams reportedly asked for a hospital, but instead head to a lawyer’s office. Later two family members showed up to persuade him to go to a mental facility, but Williams refused. Then they came back during the day with officers who demanded they take Williams to the facility and with no resistance Katt Williams was escorted out. The whole process will end Monday or Tuesday where a judge will determine if he will need to be hospitalized. Katt Williams is rumored to retire as a stand-up comedian at the end of the year due to mental and physical strain from his road life and the desire to strengthen his family. Hopefully everything is straightened out soon and good luck towards your future Mr. Williams.

LIL WAYNE AT CMA AWARDS

14. November 2008

No, he did not sell another million copies of Tha Carter III, but Lil Wayne did make history this past Wednesday. He was the first “real” rapper in the 42 year history of the County Music Awards (CMA) to make an appearance at the award show. The show, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee, took a very odd turn. Not only did Lil Wayne appear, but he actually performed alongside Kid Rock. They both wore NFL Tennessee Titans jerseys. Wayne stood in the back a little as Kid Rock performed his track “All Summer Long.” Wayne was also holding a guitar and mimicking the instrumental of the song on the guitar. In other Wayne news, the Dedication 3 Mix Tape is coming out soon and some tour date for Lil Wayne have been posted online including the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on December, 28th 2009. I just home his tour dates do not get cancelled as some previous shows did about a month ago.

KARATE KID REMAKE WITH JADEN SMITH

12. November 2008

Does anyone remember the original Karate Kid movie from 1984? Well, I wasn’t even born yet but I do remember seeing the movie as I have seen it plenty of times. It looks like a remake for the original movie is in the works. It also looks like the person to replace the original karate kid, Ralph Macchio, will be actor Will Smith’s son, Jaden Smith. While the first movie was filmed in California, the remake will be filmed starting next year in Beijing, China and other foreign cities as well. The production team for the movie will include Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and Jerry Weintraub (who worked on the original film). The plot for the movie will be very similar to the original as well, about a bullied youth
who learns how to defend himself. The role for Jaden Smith will be big and participating in martial arts already will give him an advantage in the filming process. Filling the footsteps of his father will be difficult, but this movie might be a great start for Jaden Smith.
