Chris Rock Delivers The Laughs With "Top 5"

A select number of audiences were given the chance to check out Chris Rock’s new film Top 5 ahead of its upcoming release. The trailers do not do the film justice, as Rock stars as a fading comedian who desperately tries to be taken seriously as an actor, as he prepares for his upcoming wedding to a reality star (Gabrielle Union) while a NY Times journalist (Rosario Dawson) tries to figure out why he’s no longer interested in comedy.

With appearances from Cedric The Entertainer, Adam Sandler, Whoopi Goldberg and more, the smartly written film had audiences laughing from start to finish, proving that Rock just may have his own franchise in the making.

Co-produced by Jay Z and Kanye West, Top 5  is officially slated to hit theatres on Friday, December 12.

Jay Z Advocates Police Reform During Visit To Governor Andrew Cuomo

As waves of protests continue to grow around the country, many celebrities have began using their platforms as a means to make their own voices heard. Various NBA players including Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kyrie Irving and more have recently been seen wearing “I Can’t Breathe” shirts in support of Eric Garner, who died as a result of an illegal chokehold at the hands of the NYPD.

Well known for showing his hometown love,  Jay Z recently came under fire as some took to Social Media to question why he hasn’t been more vocal during the current turmoil surrounding the Garner verdict. What many failed to realize however, is that Hov has been instrumental in providing funding to Ferguson protesters as well as paying the tuition of Sean Bell’s children, who was killed by the NYPD in 2006; as was revealed recently in a DailyKos.com article.

Once again moving under the radar, the Brooklyn emcee met with New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo in an effort to advocate for a reform of the social justice system.

According to Cuomo’s Director of Communications Melissa DeRosa:

“Governor Cuomo and Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Csarter had a productive conversation about doing a top to bottom review of the Criminal Justice system and how we can all work together to pass a reform package that ensures equality in the eyes of the law.”

Did Floyd Mayweather Hype Earl Hayes To Kills Wife?

All I know is that Floyd was out in the streets with Tyrese at the game last night. I would think he would need some time to get his life together since one of his friends committed a heinous murder/suicide. But, more than that, it seems like Floyd may have helped Earl Hayes go through with it – allegedly! Hayes thought his wife was cheating on him repeatedly with Trey Songz. Now, they are saying that Floyd urged Hayes to ditch his beautiful wife. Peep what TMZ said:

Floyd Mayweather whipped his friend Earl Hayes into a frenzy over his wife’s infidelity … to the point Hayes gunned her down … and now the LAPD wants to sit the boxer down for questioning … multiple sources tell TMZ.

TMZ broke the story … Floyd was on FaceTime with his rapper friend Monday morning when the shots were fired. Now we’re told, Floyd was telling Hayes he should leave his wife, Stephanie Moseley — a well-known backup dancer and star of VH1’s “Hit the Floor” — because she was bad for his career.

As we reported, Hayes was distraught over what he believed was repeated infidelity, including a fling he said Stephanie had with Trey Songz.

One Mayweather source says Floyd challenged Hayes, saying he was weak for not leaving her.

At that point, as Floyd was on FaceTime, Hayes went off and said he was going to gun down Stephanie. We’re told Floyd didn’t even know Stephanie was in the apartment, but when he realized it the boxer begged Hayes not to go through with it.

Our law enforcement sources say Hayes went into the bathroom and fired 10 to 12 shots as Stephanie was taking a bath. We’re told she was hit multiple times.

Neighbors who heard the shots called the LAPD and cops rushed to the scene, but when they got to the door they heard another shot and retreated. That shot was Hayes taking his own life.

The SWAT team showed up and broke down the door. Cops found Stephanie’s body in the bathtub and Hayes was in the bedroom.

We’re now told the LAPD wants to interview Floyd … presumably because he was a witness to the murder-suicide.
