TV SHOWS PT. 2: JAY-Z IS A STORYTELLER / “MARTIN” SEASON 3 / MARY & TYSON ON TOPMODEL / CHRISTINA LOVES SUPERMAN
Thursday, October 25, 2007

Jay-Z finished taping a special episode of VH1’s Storytellers titled Jay-Z: Life of an American Gangster. The nearly two hour concert, filmed at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, will include Jigga performing tracks from his new album American Gangster and giving the audience a explanation of the inspiration behind the songs.
Word is that wifey Beyonce was backstage dancing and rhyming along backstage for support. Gotta love that. Be sure to check out the special episode of Storytellers on VH1 November 8th at 9p.m ET/PT.
The third episode of the hit comedy “Martin” is coming. This has to be one of my favorite seasons - it includes some of the most classic episodes like Martin joining that crazy cult, Martin spying on Tommy to see if he got a job, and RENT EM SPOONS!
Check out a clip of one of the third season episodes above and make sure you cop it when it releases November 6th.
America’s Next Top Model steps up their game with guest appearances from Tyson Beckford and Mary J. Blige last night. Tyson was there giving the contestants a challenge and Mary was there to direct the winner of the challenge in a Carol’s Daughter photoshoot. That’s right, creative direction by Miss Mary…
Watch the clip of all the girls going nutty over Tyson. If you watched the episode yesterday, how do you feel about Ebony’s exit?

“Smallville” gets another pretty girl guest starring this week. Christina Milian puts on her acting hat, playing an actress (isn’t it ironic) that is saved by Clark Kent. You can check out her dame in despair act tonight on the CW, or watch this director’s cut on youtube.

Just like Micheal Jordan, Deion Sanders, Sugar Ray, Roy Jones, Jr., Holyfield, Emmitt Smith — when you have a profession, career that is filled with adulation and you stop hearing the cheers, you want it back, and because you have been at the top of your game, you still believe you are the best.
When Jay-Z made the announcement, he probably thought he was going to stop rapping and just run Def Jam and his businesses, but when you are an artist at heart, you get tired of that pretty quick.
His only problem was making the announcement in the first place - he should have just taken a break and done a few mixtapes or features.
Very rarely can people just leave at the top of their game and be satisfied -

The Top Model girls went crazy but they never really get to see guys so that explains a lot but it did seem a bit over the top. Ebony needed to take her ass home. She didn’t want it. Ambreal did. I was glad to see her go. I love the bald headed girl now that she has adjusted. I use to hate her cause she started shit with everybody all the time.

im actually glad ebony left. she had no personality. i feel bad that she took some other chic’s spot that actually had the passion and drive. ah well. we all know its all about ratings anyway so no one cares what anyone’s motivation is in the first place.
tyson looked quite tasty though!
kinda excited about that jayz special and that new season of martin coming out!

I think the reason why Jigga keep coming out with albums, is because he wants to stay on top: money wise. I think homeboy kinda panicked when he saw that Fiddy was #2 on that Forbe’s hip hop list, right under him.

@15, no one has stolen the title. This is an example of a marketing integration, cooperation between the studio, the record label and tv networks. They all benefit but the major goal is for the movie to open big. They figure if they surround you with the title everywhere you get entertainment (tv shoes you like, musical artists you like, retail stores you like, fast food joints, etc.) you’ll go see their stupid movie. This deal was made at least a year ago because that’s how far in advance studios make their tv ad commitments.

I heard the snippets and I wasn’t feeling what I heard, but snippets are just that, so I need to wait and see how the real songs turn out to sound, so far though the dude’s flow is not catching my ear. Maybe when I hear the album I’ll think different, but I wasn’t impressed with what I heard so far.

Ebony leaving the show would probably help her in her career endeavors. Since, ANTM is scripted anyways, Ebony was probably given the chance to show off her acting chops. Think about it, Naomi was asked by Byron Allen , about modeling competitions, and she said that it was unnecessary because the modeling agenices have 2 days out the week, where they have free open casting, where girls can just go there, and they will tell them upfront whether or not, they are going to be hired or not. So, whenever Tyra goes off on these little tantrums, it’s all for show, because the girl is already signed probably, just my opinion. That’s why I don’t care to watch this show.

I REALLY DONT THINK PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE POINT AND WHY TYRA IS UPSET…..THOUSANDS OF GIRLS TRY OUT AND ONLY 12 MAKE IT…THE SHOW HAS BEEN ON OVER 8 CYCLES SO YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING INTO…
IT IS SO UNFAIR FOR THE GIRLS WHO TRIED OUT AND DIDNT MAKE IT…TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO MADE IT SAY…”OH WELL IT ISNT FOR ME ..I DONT WANT THIS”
THAT IS SO RIDICULOUS….EBONY KNEW WHAT SHE WAS GETTING INTO AND IS AN IDIOT FOR DROPPING OUT…SHE GETS NO PRAISE FROM ME…DID YOU SEE THOSE GIRLS WHO DIDNT MAKE IT???? IM SURE THEY ARE READY TO WRING HER NECK OVER THAT NONSENSE…
IF I WAS TYRA ID BE PISSED…SHES WASTING TIME AND SOMEONE ELSES DREAMS COULD HAVE BEEN FULFILLED…..FICKLE ASS ….DONT TRY OUT IF YOUR GONNA QUIT!

#109. If Universal Studio had a problem with what Jay is doing, they would have told him to stop. The truth is this is all cross marketing. More people are talking about the film. When did Jay ever say, he wanted to act? They are paying him and Universal Music for this cross marketing.

I was always on the fence about Tyra. She knows the industry and plays people very well.
Ebony is a young girl that was placed in a compromising situation. Tyra’s reaction to Ebony, was callus and heartless.
I guess we all saw a glimpse of the real cold-hearted Tyra last night.
Good luck, Ebony! You did the right thing. Always follow your heart.

I can’t wait for Martin Season 3!
I saw Ebony’s exit and I was so sad to see her go because I knew from day 1 that she had great potential and could definitely last long in the competiton but like others have said, it was very noble of her to say it now that she didn’t want to be there other than wait until she’s top 4 and say that. I also agree with the people who said that they didn’t like Tyra’s attitude about it. She started out being support and then ended it kinda snooty like, I can’t describe it. But I am glad that Ambreal got a 2nd chance because she is so beautiful and when both of them were in the bottom 2, I didn’t know who to choose.
My favorites are Saleisha and Heather, the 2 of them are FANTASTIC and I was so happy that Saleisha was called first and that Heather won that special photo shoot, they both deserved it!!

He didn’t hear about the movie, they bought the movie to him. People know what you are talking about when posting. Denzel originally was trying to get Jay to do the official soundtrack in the first place. Ironically Jay will still get paid of of the original soundtrack, it will be distributed through DEFJAM, plus the profits from his own cd. he is in a win win situation, Jay-Z is about his money. Universal knows Jay-Z name alone will bring out more to see the movie. He is teaching Beyonce along the way, Beyonce and Jay-z are the owners of the new 40/40 Club being built in Las Vegas. Keep on sleeping on these two if you want, TI should have dedicated this song to them, they always have big things poppin!

THIS MOVIE RANKED #4 ON THE LIST OF MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE THIS YEAR. THE POLLS CLOSED FOR THAT BEFORE JAYZ SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DOING AMERICAN GANGSTER ALBUM.

I agree with Ray , JayZ is not going to bring a whole lot of more people to see this movie. I frequent many Oscar and movie boards and people have been dying to see this movie for a LONG time. Most of the people on these boards are filmheads like me and don’t listen to hip hop music ( even though I listen to hip hop music). The only thing that I can see him doing is bringing a few more Urban people to see the movie and that’s about it. People would see this movie Regardless of Jay_Z for four reasons. Even the average filmgoer doesn’t care if Jay-Z is a part of it or not, that actually was a complaint about rappers ( RZA COMMON & TI) ruining the movie. People even said it was going to “suck” because they were involved. BTW the movie is based on an article about Frank Lucas ( years ago) in the NY TImes.
1. Denzel Washington & Russell Crowe ( they bring in the box-office)
2. Oscars-Many Oscar heads are dying to see if this will be a contender the reviews so far are decent, although critics say it is good , but not great.
3.The subject matter-Crime Dramas tend to popular with movie goers look at the Departed.
4. Ridley Scott-This is the man who directed Bladerunner NUFF SAID.
I’m not saying that Jay-Z is not important enough, but the reasons MOST people want to see this film have absolutely nothing to do with him.
Anyway I know some people are dissappointed already because they say it is not violent enough. So if you haven’t seen it don’t go in expecting an action flick.
This movie has been in the works for 5 years Denzel got the script right after he did Training day it was going to be
Director-Fuqua( Director of Training Day)
Frank-Denzel
Roberts-Benicio del Toro
Something happened and they got a different Director and they got Don Cheadle to do it, but something happened again and they went to Ridely Scott and the rest is History.

aww Man I see the youngins in here don’t have a clue what jay means to rap. He is the only reason I even still listen to rap seriously, well him and talib, common, nas and and not many others. he has already establish a fan base so he doesnt need the movie American Gansta to stay relevant. I know atleast 20 heads that will go out and cop his cd and just imagine how many of those fan know 20 more people that will do the same. If I had to listen to all this Bama ass dance rap I would just rather hip hop was dead! hey i know you youngins need something to listen to as well so i believe their is room for everybody’s type of rap. Jay happens to be mine and I quote ” I can’t leave rap alone the game needs me ” and it sure does.

There is someone (i think it’s Camron) who showed on Youtube how, not only does Jay-z not write his rhymes down on paper, Jay has stolen alot of rappers rhymes from Biggie, Snoop, Tupac, that other old skool rapper with the patch over one eye (I can’t think of his name). There are some more. I was shocked, but glad that information was given.
I never could understand how Jay thought he was so hot. Now after seeing that Youtube clip tonight I have lost what little respect I had for Jay-z. He steals other people songs. No wonder him and Beyonce hit it off. Like attracts like!

Now Jay wants to give an explanation as to what his songs mean. Yeah now that DeHaven aka Headache said on Youtube that he was going to expose jay and reveal the meaning of all his songs, now Jay wants to give his own explanation.
Jay you are really transparent.

136 Judging by your name u sound like a Nas stan that is upset by all Jay and Beyonce’s fame and fortune. These two are the shit like them or not. They are very successful at everything they do so give them some credit. They both dominated the game and personally I wish them good luck on everything they do. Love them both.
Anyway I love Martin that was like the best t.v show ever!
Who cares about Christina?
