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…
EL DEBARGE IS LOCKED UP…
El DeBarge, most known for his 80s fame with the DeBarge family and solo hits was arrested yesterday for domestic violence charges and outstanding warrents:
The singer, born Eldra DeBarge, was initially taken into custody early Sunday accused of domestic violence. The L.A. County District Attorney rejected the charge, but the crooner had a bunch of outstanding warrants including vandalism, drugs and driving with a suspended license according to authorities.
None of the infractions allow for the posting of bail, which means DeBarge will remain in custody until a hearing is scheduled. READ MORE
Man, I love me some El DeBarge but, this family has been through some stuff. Go to Vibe.com to get a history lesson.
BISHOP WEEKS GETS LOVE FROM HIS CHURCH
We’ve posted updates on Amy Wino’s drugged out relationship, but I wanted to update you guys on the church world’s latest surrounding Juanita Bynum and Bishop Weeks. After allegedly choking and beating down his wife last week, Bishop Weeks turned himself in and was set free with bond. He explained the situation to his church this past Sunday:
Juanita Bynum’s estranged husband is blaming the devil for accusations that he attacked her last week in Atlanta.
Thomas Weeks appeared in front of the congregation at his church on Sunday, expressing appreciation for prayers and support that he and Bynum have received. Weeks said he refused to stop attending church just because “certain things” were going on…
One churchgoer says he’s disappointed about the allegations but says he respects Weeks for “being man enough to show his face. SOURCE“
1st. i cant stand sean kingston sumthin just urks me when i see him
Sean Kingston is a good choice….he might be to youg tho. depends how far they wann go in Biggie’s bio
First! Sean Kingston playing Biggie? It makes sense, the do favor each other
they do*
I don’t know the choice is right but I hope it works out well….No one knows BIG better than his mother. So if she believes he is going to portray her son to its fullest so be it…
He definitely looks like Biggie so I hope it works out well. The bishop is going straight to hell. The church needed to jack his behind up when he showed up there.
hold on…is Weeks blaming the devil for the accusations or for his actions? Wasn’t there an eye witness who confirms what happened? Is he mental or something? Or does he have some selective memory thing going on?
oh and i smell a flop with the kingston/biggie movie. his career movin too fast which causes a fast burn out.
Sean Kingston??? I guess….But they do have to go through casting calls and all that crap before they get chosen…Or at least I hope that they just didn’t pick him because he resembles Biggie…I hope the kid’s got talent cuz “Beautiful Girls” makes me want to punch babies!!!!
EL DEBARGE = DOMESTIC VIOLENCE????
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
That man weighs less than Amy Winehouse when you spritz him down with water…Who in the hell is he whoopin up on?? Amy could take his ass….
And of course Pastor “Choke-a-Bitch” Weeks go blame it on the devil…I saw that coming when I first heard about the story….Can’t nobody just be crazy these days, they always wanna blame the demons….Negro you just have some repressed issues and she pushed some buttons and you went Ike Turner 1968 on her ass… You know even the Devil was like “Damn, what I do now????”
Debarge has fallen which is sad. Juanita’s husband, wow i dont know what to say about that. Sean Kingston as Biggie is a bad choice real bad choice
THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT!!! U’ve got to be kidding me right? What kind of example are u setting for your congregation if u as a bishop and a man are unable to control your anger issues to the point of beating down your wife!!! I’m sorry, no excuses should be made for any man who will raise his hand to a woman whether she provoked it or not. Domestic violence is not something that should be taken lightly, they should have whooped his ass right out of that church.
Weeks and the church are wrong. He should have apologized to his church but most importantly to his wife. He should allow a guest or associate pastor to take over until this matter was resolved. If you are unable to lead your own house, how can you really lead the house of the Lord. Yes there is forgiveness but there is also reaping and restitution. You can’t just say “the devil made me do it”, the devil only encourages you to do something you have in your mind to do anyway. I think it was arrogant of him to come back at that time and Juanita is still recovering from the wounds he put on her!!! make up with your wife who you made a covenant with with God first and foremost!
I see Debarge is still rockin that shag with the one curl in thr front. A damn shame.
And I’m talking about the shag not the arrest.
#11 you have talked the truth!! i couldn’t have put it better myself!!!!!!!!!
That is such a punk move for Weeks to blame the devil for his actions. If he is truly a man of God, he should take responsiblity for his actions himself. Don’t hid behind the devil, be a man about and admit you made a mistake!
# 11 you are on point!!! Great post!
I agree with #8 Ms K on all her comments.
And I agree with #8 and #11 about B Weeks.
Saves me from typing alot.
i always thought sean looked like biggie, there was even rumor goin around that he was the kid from the “sky is the limit” video.
DANG debarge? they used to go hard
o really bishop weeks? was it really the devil, or was it just YOU?
El looks really bad. I read somewhere that he has 10 kids. Is that true?
What a Man SOWS, that he Shall REAP!!!!!!
The Renaissance is a Five Star Hotel. It behooves me that there were NO Security Cameras in the Parking Lot, that would have caught this Incident on Tape?
If Michael Vick is Loosing his job, and going to Jail for ANIMAL CRUELTY,
Weeks gets to walk free for: HUMAN CRUELTY…………
Where’s the Humane (SANE) Society Now……….
Actions without Consequences = ENCOURAGEMENT
I see the biggie movie is still on track. What a waste. Sean does favour him though so he’s a good pick.
DeBarge needs to be locked up.
I hear Weeks got his congregation cheering. Sometimes church people are so damn stupid. That pic of him looks creepy too….the evil bastard.
Juanita is 48. She looks real nice for her age. Black really don’t crack.
I saw a youtube clip of their wedding and it had me LMAO though! Juanita was all waving her hand in the air, over exergerated holy holy ish weeping and really overacting sheesh…i thought Weeks looked irritated as hell LMAO!! Clearly these two big egos were never going to last. Nonetheless, she didn’t hit him upside the head with a frying pan. He choked, stomped and kicked her like a dog. He needs to be in JAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL.
VIA MISSINFO.TV
Aight so I’ve had enough of this Sean Kingston kid. First off, he might be one of the worst interviews of all-time in Hip-Hop. The kid is more on edge than Michael Jackson and R. Kelly at junior high graduation. And now this lil’ fuck has the nerve to tell a reporter at the Kid’s Choice Awards that he is playing the role of The Notorious B.I.G. in that movie they are doing on B.I.G.’s life.
“My management had told me about it. And then you know, I auditioned for it. And then I met with the director, the big director, and I nailed it. So he’s giving me a shot now, in being in the movie” said MC chubby. You can hear the audio at MISSINFO.tv
Well, B.I.G.’s longtime manager and friend Wayne Barrow sent Miss Info an email about Kingston’s statement.
“NO, Sean Kingston nor ANY other individual has been cast for the role of Christopher “Notorious B.I.G” Wallace or any other characters which will be portrayed in the biopic of B.I.G!!!. We will continue to search for the individual to fill the shoes of B.I.G in this film…”
I called it a while ago! I said that boy Sean Kingston should play Biggie while he is hot in the game! You can’t front.. he got the look and he is Jamaican! You can’t hate on this kid for that! I was just telling someone this boy should be considered!
Nooooooooo…EL? What are you doing!?
The congregation cheered for Bishop Weeks? The best thing they could’ve done was to give him the silent treatment…they should’ve stood up and turned they’re backs
when will the church world stop making excuses and covering up such behavior im appalled at how such acts have been committed.. and the church world never nevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver acknowledges any of it, they praise and shout right over it………….people get molested, raped, and the victims inevitably become more victimized, by people’s biased behavior, ridicule, and ultimately disregard for the situation……….no one holds these perps accountable……….church people sweep it right under the rug and prepare for the next church service, almost like there minds are controlled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please someone respond im troubledddddddd
I don’t know how good his acting skills are but i think that he favors Biggie a lot and I also think if he’s good he’ll probably do a good job playing him
Sean Kingston does look similar to Biggie I suppose but I agree #1, something about him just irks me as well….Oh well, maybe he’ll do a good job. They should get that rapper Gorilla Black…he looks and sounds just like Biggie to me…
can lil biggie even act?
Man, I loved DeBarge back in the day. Eldra, please get your shit together.
It always cracks me up when Holy Rollers proclaim how “No one but God” can judge them when they screw up but stay claiming that anyone who doesn’t love Jesus is going straight to hell when they’re on the pulpit. Medicine tastes kind of bitter, eh Bishop? Hypocrisy at its finest.
I knew Sean Kingston would make a good Biggie, Let’s just hop he can act….
Poor El Debarge.
Sean Kingston = Biggie??? *dies*
Sean Kingston is the definition of the pits!! He is so lame it’s ridiculous. I’ll admit that I did like his song until it was crammed down my throat, but that wasn’t his fault. Anyways, he peformed on America’s Got Talent (yea I watched it) with a finalist and lip synced and it was SO VERY horrible. He had the nerve to say stuff like “Clap yo hands” and then go back to lip syncing. *SMH* If he acts as bad as he performs then I smell a huge flop and that’s a shame since Biggie is such a legend.

No 10 and 11.. took the words right out of my mouth.
i hope kingston does have some secret talent.. lets give him a chance ya’ll .. i mean he is just a kid.. don’t be so hard.. and he does look like biggie..
just to throw that out there.. what about biz markie playin the role?
or who else could they have chosen?
SEAN KINGSTON RESEMBLES BIGGIE-IF HE DOES WELL MAYBE HE CAN END HIS SINGING CAREER-AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I’M HOPING FOR
EL DEBARGE-WHATEVA AND GET IT TOGETHER TO OLD FOR THIS NONSENSE
BYNUM’S HUSBAND-IS AN ABUSER AND AN EMPLOYEE FROM THE HOTEL HAD TO PULL HIM OFF OF HER-ENOUGH SAID
SOMETIMES CHURCH FOLKS ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES-WHO CARES HE WAS MAN ENOUGH TO SHOW HIS FACE-THAT’S NOT NOBLE-IT’S OBVIOUS THAT THIS MAN FEELS AS THOUGH HIS ACTIONS WERE JUSTIFIED AND THAT’S WHY HE SHOWED HIS FACE TO HIM-IT’S NOT HIS FAULT
I HOPE HIS ASS GOES TO JAIL AND ON THE LOW MY PEOPLE WOULD SERVE HIM AN ASS KICKING STRAIGHT FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL-AND HOW BOUT THE DEVIL MADE THEM DO THAT!
PUNK ASS!
I don’t get it. Is he really blaming the devil for the allegations that he choked his wife or is he blaming the devil for making him choke his wife?
oh f— wrong post.
Shame on his church! I swear, some of these people just follow like sheep. They will follow the damn devil into the fire….
#1…I can’t stand his ass either and that stupid fuckin song. Oh, just cause he a little fat boy, he is set to play Biggie? Get the fuck outta here!!! They need to keep lookin.
Damn…I was in love with El Debarge since Rhythm of the Night! That’s what’s up?! Damn, everybody’s dirt is coming to light these days..
Oh, and the Bishop…see…the devil made him do it? May the Lord strike him down for even fixing his mouth to say that. There is no reason on this earth for u to lay hands on your wife…the one u pledged your love to in front of God and half of America. He’s full of shyt…and whoever is still listening to the words he speaks is crazy as hell!! They need Jesus in the worst way!
sean kingston is a good choice. as for bishop weeks HE is responsible for his actions. it was his choice to act a fool. i hate when people say “oh, the devil made me do it” no one made you do anything. god gave us free will. we have a choice.
good comment #20
I think they could have found an unknown actor that looked more like B.I.G to play him. Sean Kingston is not a good choice in my opinion.
As for that bishop and that church—-see, it is my opinion that church folk these days have gotten more caught up in pastor worship than God/Christ worship. People tend to praise their pastor and put them on this pedastal, acting like they can do no wrong, when man of God or not, we are all subject to sin. Preachers can make mistakes too, as they are human, but this kind of behavior is intolerable. I ain’t saying excommunicate him or anything, but I do think that there should be some consequences for his behavior. He didn’t just have a beer, people, he beat his wife down!
SEAN KINGSTON MAKES A GREAT CHOICE….I MEAN HE IS JAMAICAN AND HE RESEMBLE BIGGIE.
EL DEBAGE NEEDS TO GET HIS SELF TOGATHER….I’M STILL WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT WITH ANOTHER CD.
THOMAS WEEK JUST OFFICIALLY LOST HIS HIS DAMN MIND….. WHY WOULD YOU BLAME IT ON THE DEVIL. HIS CONGREGATION IS RETARTED FOR BELIEVING THAT STUPID MESS . HE SHOULD STEP DOWN FROM HIS POSTION BECAUSE HE DONT LIVE UP TO THE NAME BISHOP.
JUANITA NEEDS TO STAY SINGLE….SHE GOT TO MUCH GOING ON
Sean Kingston? yeah okay, He better do Big justice.

Bishop Weeks, I’m sure you are familiar with the way you are to treat your wife, Colossians 3:19, I Corinthians 7:3-5 Ephesians 5:25-33 these are examples of how we are to treat our wives, and to provide an exanple to your parishioneers you should have blamed yourself and removed yourself from all functions of the body of Christ, turn away from your sin, and start anew in repentance, do not bring shame upon the body of Christ, you are not worthy of the office which you hold my brother, do the right thing by your wife, ” Love your wife as the Lord loved the Church, and gave his life for it”
El has fathered 10 kids by 3 or 4 different women. His oldest is about 29 or 30. I have run into El a few times these past few years with one of his baby mamas, Monique. He seemed to be living from woman to woman. Seems like he was living with this woman and they would be doing crack cuz everytime I saw him he looked high or drunk. I will give him credit though, he manages to hold on to his boyish good looks. Some of the other brothers have a lot of kids too. Altogether the Debarge siblings have given Grandmama Debarge 50 grandkids.
By the way, Bishop Weeks looks like Humpty Hump in that picture, “I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom”
I thoght you was a man of GOD you suppose to rebuke in the name of the lord.. He just faking that is his cover up he felt like giving her some beat down like all the rest of them fell they can do. Kingston it might can work they kind of look a like just gotta to wait and see the movie..Poor debage he looks like he has had some ruff times since they were on the seen..
#10 said: “they should have whooped his ass right out of that church.” You are so wrong for that statement but forgive me for LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Blaming the devil for the ACCUSATIONS huh? Well can you please explain the 1)eye witness report 2) why the eye witness had to pull you off your wife 3) the report your wife gave the police and 4) how those bruises just majically appeared on your wife’s neck and torso. Please explain Bishop Weeks. You are full of $hit man! I have absolutely no respect for any man who beats their spouse. NONE!
BOO!!! Why didn’t they get Gorilla black to play biggie?? He looks just like him!!!!
WHAT ABOUT GORILLA BLACK?
Umm I do not think Sean K. should play Biggie, I know theres someone out there that looks, sound, and acts alot like Biggie that would probably play a much better role. I cant stand how the Media always wants to place a celeb in a movie just because there known.
Gorilla Black is Biggie Man!!
Sean Kingston seems like a good fit for a young Biggie, which most likely is what he’s going to play. Good luck to him.
Poor El, he need to get it together.
I have no respect for Weeks, sorry, but my pastor told me don’t blame your actions on the devil just when you know you need just as much prayer as the people you’re supposed to be teaching. Get it together Weeks.
Sean Kingston Will Not Be Playing Biggie, Casting Is Still Open

dont mean to advertse on your site angel, but just thought i’d share

“Your 1 Stop Shop For Internet Hip Hop”
He do look like biggie..
Personally, I think that they should find an unknown person to play biggie. Cuz honestly im getting sick of singers/rappers being put into movies all the time just cuz their a “household” name.
On another note: I wonder if they would ever come out with an Aaliyah movie?
And i didnt know that the Debarge family had all that goin on with them. Thats sad
Why dont they do movies on 2pac and aaliyah also
Diddy still making money off of Biggie. Sheeeit.
Sean Kingston is a bit to hansome to play biggie. Need someone uglier (no offense Biggie fans).
biggie never had an accent thou?!?!?!
LmAO……..
Sean kingston does look a lil bit like biggie, but I think Gorilla Black favors him more
