Who’s having the bigger week: Amber or Blue Ivy Carter? The obvious answer is little baby Blue, but Amber just can’t seem to stay away from the “news” making lately. Two days after the release of her first single, “Fame,” which featured her man Wiz Khalifa, the model, “actress,” and now “singer,” hit up the MTV RapFix couch to talk about her music and more.
Amber told host Sway: “Today on your show, I just want to let it be known that I am so done with the Kanye questions. That’s my past, I’m done with it. I’m done, I’m moving on with a new career. I’m in love with Wiz. I’m happy. I just want to move on with my life, and we can get everything out right now and then I’m done.”
Another Drake super fan has gotten a tattoo of the rapper. An unidentified fan has gotten a portrait of Drake along with the word “Drizzy” inked on their leg. I hope to GOD this is a girl and not a dude!
The goofy looking tattoo truly captures Drake’s essence, doesn’t it! At least it wasn’t on her forehead like the other loony chick. Check out a photo of the tatt below.
In related news, forgive me for being a few days late on this, but D12 rapper Bizarre was recently inked with a portrait of Nicki Minaj. See the photo below.
This post got me thinking, would you ever get a tattoo paying homage to your favorite celebrity? Here’s a collection of photos of people who were crazy enough to do just that:
Iconic filmmaker Gerge Lucas appeared on the The Daily Show With Jon Stewart this week to share details about his forthcoming Red Tails movie and the difficulties faced by films like it.
Red Tails, with an all-star cast boasting Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. singer Ne-Yo, and more, depicts the well-publicized story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a valiant group of fighter pilots in World War II. The Star Wars creator put forth $58 million of his own money towards the overall price tag of the film.
“It’s a reasonably expensive movie. Normally black movies, say Tyler Perry movies or something, they’re very low budget,” the film’s producer, Lucas, told Stewart on the show. “Even they won’t really release his movies, it goes to one of the lower, not major distributors…And this costs more than what those movies make.
“They don’t believe there’s any foreign market for it and that’s 60 percent of their profit…I showed it to all of them and they said ‘No. We don’t know how to market a movie like this,'” Lucas added.
In Hollywood, it seems to Lucas, there must be at least some White element to films in order for them to be seen as lucrative. “It’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all. It’s one of the first, all-black action pictures ever made. It’s not Glory where you have a lot of white officers running these guys into cannon fire. They were real heroes.”
Red Tails hits theaters on January 20. Check out the trailer below:
