Prison-bound Weezy Wee has ensured fans won’t forget about him while he’s behind bars. Wanye went hard this past weekend filming nine music videos.
He was expected to begin serving time for his 2007 arrest for gun possession immediately after his sentencing in court on Tuesday, but the allowed him an additional three weeks of freedom for an upcoming dental operation but Wayne had prepared for his incarceration by shooting a backlog of music videos for his fans.
Video director David Rousseau tells MTV.com Lil Wayne began the shoot on Friday and the cameras didn’t stop rolling until Sunday. Rousseau explains, “We knew what our deadline was. We’re trying to get maximum coverage for Wayne. Most of the time we only shot Wayne’s verses – we’ll finish the rest of the videos off in the next couple of weeks.
“Everybody is onboard because everybody knows what’s at stake. Unlike T.I. and some of these other guys that’s disappeared while they were in (prison), the point is to keep Wayne on TV for whatever time he’s in. He’s at the height of his career; you can’t let that momentum slip.”
And Wayne recruited a number of collaborators, including Juelz Santana and Yo Gotti, to star alongside him in the shoots.
Rousseau adds, “We tried to keep it wide, medium, close-up, just him vibing. Then we let him go change clothes. Then other people would come in for 30 minutes. Wayne would come back out, same thing; wide, medium, close-up. Then we bring out somebody else who is on the song, Nicki Minaj, Sean Garrett, Baby, and Tyga.
Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.
President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”
Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can visit Yele.org and click on DONATE.

NBA player Samuel Dalembert of the 76ers who grew up in Haiti reflects on the catastrophe.
Hollywood stunner Brittany Murphy, who found big-screen success after her breakout role in “Clueless,” died Sunday after collapsing in the shower. Los Angeles cops are investigating the 32-year-old’s sudden death, but a coroner official said it “appears to be natural.”
An autopsy is pending – over the objections of her British screenwriter husband, Simon Monjack, who told hospital staffers he didn’t want one, according to the gossip Web site TMZ.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry suffered “life-ending injuries” after falling out of the bed of a pickup during a fight with his fiancee, police in Charlotte, North Carolina, said Wednesday.
The incident occurred shortly before noon Wednesday, when Henry’s fiancee tried to drive off during a “domestic situation,” only to have Henry jump into the bed of the truck, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a written statement.
“The domestic situation continued between the operator and Mr. Henry,” according to a police statement. Henry “came out of the back of the vehicle” about six-tenths of a mile from the house, police said.
Henry was believed to be in critical condition after the wreck, the Bengals said in a statement on their Web site. Police said Henry was undergoing treatment at the Carolinas Medical Center hospital in Charlotte.
Charlotte is the home of his fiancee’s family, the team said.
The 26-year-old receiver has played for the Bengals for five seasons, but has been on the injured reserve list after suffering a dislocated forearm during a November 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Henry caught 12 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns in eight games before being hurt.
Last year is was her hubby President Obama and this year she takes home the honors, Michelle Obama is Barbara Walters #1 choice for most fascinating people. I’m still not clear on what’s so great about this list or exactly the honor is, but… hey you can check out their interview above.
He make some valid points in this speech, but still there are no winners in wars; while leadership make the decisions the people bare the burden of death. Its not the politicians son’s and daughter’s who are losing their lives in these senseless wars.
Its been a long time coming, Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane put their differences aside and set a new example for handeling differences in hip hop; lets just hope other follow in their foot steps. Also, lets hope this positive display of handeling conflict gets the same press coverage as all the negativity between the two. (Wishful thinking of course! Unity in hip hop lets sweep that under the rug.)
Iverson will be going back to where he began his career, with the 76ers. He has agreed to a one year deal at veterans minimum $1.3 million prorated which would leave him to receive close to a million for the remainder of the season. I think this a good move for Iverson and the 76ers, he need a team and the desperately need someone that can score. Lets just hope Ivo go in with the right attitude because this is the perfect situation for him at this stage of his career.
