Movie producer and actor Tyler Perry says he is taking his sharp-tongued character “Madea” back on tour.

Perry posted a message on his Web site Saturday that said he had taken some time off in the past few months “so I could spend my mother’s final days at her side.” His mother, Willie Maxine Perry, died Dec. 8 at age 64.

Perry says he will begin touring with his new play, “Madea’s Big Happy Family.” Tyler will once again use a wig and padded suit to portray Madea, the central character of many of his films, including “Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail.”

The actor says he is eager to have Madea on stage for the first time in five years. The first leg of the tour begins Jan. 4 in El Paso, Texas, then goes on to Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

This is a shot for the Fame Monster Deluxe Album artwork booklet. Dope work by photographer Dave Chapelle. I find myself lost for words as I look at all the pictures. I then ask myself, what is the artistic vision behind this shoot?

This shoot depicts Kanye West carrying the eccentric Lady Gaga.  This is an eclectic piece of artwork, but I think there is a deeper meaning to the photo. Like, why is this man holding this chic with a volcano behind him in the jungle barefoot?

Snoop Dogg is dropping a new album “Malice in Wonderland” next week and at the top of next year he will release the movie. From the small trailer released via youtube Snoop appears to be a pimped out superhero protecting the city from the thugs as an evil dictator rules the city. Snoop and his sidekick, Soulja Boy, take matters in their own hands to take the city back.

It is an original film inspired by the Malice in Wonderland album, which seems like the new thing because 50 Cent just dropped the “Before I Self Destruct” movie and album together. Snoop’s movie is star studded with Jamie Foxx, Xzibit, Soulja Boy and many more.

Look out for Snoop’s Malice N Wonderland coming very soon.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson seems to never stop working and amazing us with his talents. Not only has he released his forth studio album “Before I Self Destruct” but he also released a bonus movie that is written, directed, and starred by him. In the “Before I Self Destruct” movie Curtis plays a character, Clarence, that was a great streetball player that got one bad blow after the other. First he blows his knee, then his mother gets murdered, and his life begins to spin out of control which ultimately ends in his demise.

You can get the movie free with a purchase of the album.It is a very decent film for someone with no professional experience and is independent award worthy. Good job fif keep making great moves.
