Sean Kingston is already set to make his first big acting debut playing the late Notorious B.I.G in the upcoming film on the slain rapper:

The singer, who is dominating the charts with summer hit Beautiful Girls, has landed the lead role in the movie, which is being produced by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Kingston says, “When I first heard about that movie, it was through management. My management told me about it and you know I had auditioned for it and I met with the director and I nailed it and he gave me a shot now at being in the movie.”

Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace, and his two former managers, Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, played a key role in casting and were keen to sign-up an unknown star for the coveted role. SOURCE

Interesting choice, wonder what Biggie’s fans think about it…

Keyshia Cole covers the October issue of Sister 2 Sister Magazine, which hits stands September 11. In this issue Keyshia talks about finding her father, understanding men, and the similarities between her and Mary J. Blige. I”m sure y’all heard the rumors about their “alleged” beef, but I’m sure they are just that – rumors.

Check out these exclusive snippets we received:

KEYSHIA ON MARY

Keyshia: [Mary and I] are alike in a lot of ways. I kicked it with her, actually, after the BET Awards. We were all at Kimora Simmons’s house. They threw the party for it. We all sat around the same table—me, her, Kim and a bunch of other people—and I just watched her for a minute. It was like a hour that I just sat there. I really had to walk away ’cause I didn’t want, you know, to have her thinking I was crazy. [laughs] But you know, we really are alike in a lot of ways, as far as the things that we’ve been through and how we take things and how we react to certain things—and soulfully, I believe.

Jamie: Like what?

Jennifer Lopez – Do It Well

Jennifer Lopez went to work on the video for her new single “Do It Well” some days ago. Photographers tried hard to get shots of the latina on the set but, were disappointed when the star was covered by black tents and bodyguards. Looks like all of that was pretty pointless…

“Do It Well” is the first single off her upcoming sixth studio album titled “Brave”. I’m curious to see what this video (directed by David LaChappelle) is going to look like, with her extras and all…
