Big Willie Style's all in it

Wassup, Y'all!

I was checking out the weekend box office returns and see that Will Smith is still the reigning champ with his date flick 'Hitch'. $90 million and counting after two weeks - for a date flick! No denying that boy's crossover appeal. A little more digging reveals that with last weekend's Hitch take, Big Willie Style has bumped Mike Myers out as the biggest opening weekend draw in Hollywood. Not bad for a skinny rapper from west Philly, but my question is "How did Mike Myers get in the top spot any damn way?"...

Okay - I'll admit I haven't checked out any of those Austin Powers joints - even the one with Beyonce as Foxy Cleopatra (my bad on that one, y'all), but that's almost as ridiculous as Samuel L. Jackson claiming the top spot as biggest grossing movie star of all time ($6+ billion) replacing Harrison Ford! You clever readers out there should see the tie that binds those two and generated the bulk of all that box office mojo. Subtract out the take for those Star Wars movies and you're looking at Chris Rock and David Spade...

Spice Racks...I'm checking that Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) has just had her 3rd rug rat and that Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) has just cut a new album and a brother can't help but wonder what ever happened to Melanie Janine Brown - Mel B. (Scary Spice)? Word on the wire is that Mel B. can't get a record deal and has decided to write a tell all book about the Spice Girl Experience (which should be all of ten pages and seven of those will be acknowledgements...). You have to wonder if any of the former Spice Girls got on American Idol if any of them would make it to the final round... However, all's not lost...a quick peek at Mel B.'s glossy...


Mel B. - She Ain't So Scary...

...shows that she's more than qualified for a SI Swimsuit spread or a Budweiser Beer commercial...and I ask you - which career gets you noticed faster? Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia...hmmm names are familiar...I just can't seem to place their faces....

I'm out, y'all!

Peace@Least,

Tyrone
