A-Team Movie Taking Shape

Over the last two years (at least I think it has been that long) several actors, writers, producers, have been attached to the feature film version of popular 80's show The A-Team.


It now seems that things shall be moving along. It is being reported that Fox will distribute the movie and directors Ridley and Tony Scott are set to produce. The shows creator, Stephen J. Cannell is also to be involved as a producer.


Fox has the release date set for June 2010. There has not been word of casting decisions at this time. So, I thought I would take a change and create my own cast.....


Col. John "Hannibal" Smith - this is tough... here's who I don't want...Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis, Will Smith. How about Jack Nicholson?


Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck -I do not want Tom Cruise.... Jim Carrey could do this...or...Adam Sandler....or...even Brad Pitt perhaps....even Leonardo Decaprio could pull this off.


Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock - Jim Carrey


Sgt. Bosco B.A. Baracus - I think Mr. T should do it....just kidding.... Common? Definitely NOT 50cent or Diddy. Maybe we should stay away from rappers? Too easy. NO WILL SMITH!!! Even Queen Latifah could pull this one off..... Ice Cube could do it if not Common.


Who knows what we will get....but it better work.

I Have Decided To Sue Everyone Suddenly

Blues singer (and father of R&B singer Syleena Johnson) Syl Johnson reportedly in January of this year was suing Michael Jackson, Will Smith, Tupac Shakur and KRS-One – claiming they stole his 1967 single "Different Strokes" without attributing him or paying for the sample.

Well, now he is suing someone else - rap group Cypress Hill. He claims the group sampled his 1969 record "Is It Because I'm Black?" on a track from their 1993 album "Black Sunday" titled "Lock Down (Interlude)." Along with the also recent honorees of VH1's Hip Hop Honors, he is suing a number of record and publishing companies for the brief soundbyte as well.


Why all of a sudden?
