The Good and Bad Side to Obesity, Milian Cut, Walken in Balls, and Hip-Hop is Dead But Refrain from Cristal-Pouring
1. It was a big weekend for Island Def Jam's L.A. Reid, who not only turned 50 but also dropped Christina Milian from the label. On top of tepid numbers for her So Amazin' album, the label had spent "a promotional budget worthy of Mariah Carey" for the ex of Nick Cannon and perhaps is also none too pleased that their singer passed on "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" despite Reid's begging her to do otherwise. Milian, who is hardly having the best week ever, was also dropped from the August cover of Vibe after the axe. Still, this can't be worse than having a credited part in Be Cool. Perspective. (Daily News)
2. From the creators of Reno 911! comes a ping-pong comedy titled Balls of Fury, which has Christopher Fucking Walken starring as a ping-pong lovin' crime lord named Fang that the CIA wants to take down via some ping-pongin' infiltration of course. He was recently spotted in black hair, what looks like an opium-inspired smoking pipe, a black kimono for Balls, looking nothing short of fucking awesome. (Variety)
3. Nas's recent announcement of his album, Hip Hop Is Dead, has retriggered the debate of, uh, the same name, except turn it into a question. It has been declared dead before: in the early 90s because of "overt gangserism," in the late 90s because of its commercialism (think Puff), and the early 00's because hip hop became pop (Eminem and Nelly). Will the disaffected youth now turn to Reggaetón? Will advertisers drop like flies? Do all the new rappers suck? Stay tuned. (SOHH)
4. Turns out that trans-fat is more evil than thought. Instead of "merely" increasing bad cholestoral and heart disease risks, trans-fat can cause you to become fatter than other fats despite containing the same calories. Prevalent in fast foods, trans-fat has already been banned from Denmarks' processed foods. (Nature)
5. On the plus side, if you are incredibly gigandos, getting run over by cars can mean nothing to you. A 30-year-old German man, weighing 440 pounds, fell off his bike, had a Volkswagen Polo drive over him, and suffered from a dislocated hip, scratches and a bloody nose. It is not quite clear whether the injuries were sustained from hitting the ground or the car hitting him. (Reuters)
