50 Cent to Replace Forrest Whitaker
Sylvester Stallone who is currently working on a movie called the Expendables has shocked fans and critics by replacing Oscar winner Forrest Whitaker with rapper 50 Cent.
50 Cent born Curtis Jackson joins the cast of Jason Stratham, Jet Li and Mickey Rourke in the role of Agent Will Sands after scheduling issues preventing Whitaker from playing the role.
On his choice Stallone defended his actions in casting the Get Rich or Die Trying Star by saying “A player is only as good as his coach. If a man can communicate in one medium, he can communicate in another if his strengths are brought out and he has the support of well-wishers. So, trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one.” The Expendables is due out in 2010.
Beyonce admits to Super Mario Weakness
Following in the footsteps of spokespeople such as Nicole Kidman, Girls Aloud and Liv Tyler, to name but a few, Beyonce has another job at hand, promoting the new Nintendo DS game ‘Rhythm Heaven.’
The game is compared to a more portable version of the Play station 2 game Guitar Hero which Beyonce said she enjoys to play.
Set to star in the TV commercial for the game, the multi-platinum singer divulged that when she was younger her weakness was in fact Super Mario and would play the game secretly one her curfew was up. Naughty girl :-)
