03/13/07 - Hot Off The Presses: Pras, James Brown, C-Murder, Pretty Ricky & More

J-Banks · 03-13-2007, 02:58 PM

Fugees member Pras has recently inked a deal with Hollywood Studios International to act as his new management team. The rapper/producer and actor has been working on a slew of new projects as of late. Most recently, a documentary in which Pras lived on Los Angeles' famed skid row for nine days with nine dollars called "Skid Row," appearances in both the film and on the soundtrack for the Jennifer Lopez-produced "Raggaeton," producing and acting in "The Mutant Chronicles" directed by Simon Hunter, and a role in "Go-Go Tales" directed by Abel Ferrara. He is also working on a new solo album that should drop this year, as well as an accompanying feature film. ...

More than two months after his death, soul icon James Brown's body has been finally laid to rest. Following a family ceremony on Saturday (March 10), Brown's body was placed in a crypt at the Beech Island, South Carolina, home of one of his daughters, though it will likely be moved once a public mausoleum is completed, according to AP. ...

A gag order against rapper C-Murder (real name: Corey Miller) has been lifted in his still pending new trial for the murder death of a 16-year-old who was shot in the chest during a brawl at a now-closed club in Harvey, Louisiana. Judge Martha Sassone told Miller on Thursday that the rules of his house arrest remain the same: She must approve any visitors, including reporters, but said his gag order -- which has been in place for years to minimize pretrial publicity -- conflicted with his constitutional right to free speech and expression, in court papers filed last month. Twice last fall, Sassone rejected the rapper's request for interviews to promote his CD, but allowed him to be photographed in his grandmother's home. ...

Mary J. Blige and Jamie Foxx took home the top awards at the 21st annual Soul Train Music Awards on Saturday (March 10), as Foxx landed best male album for Unpredictable and Blige won best female album for The Breakthrough. The night also included winners in Jay-Z for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video for "Show Me What You Got"; John Legend for best male single with "Save Room"; Beyoncé with best female single for "Irreplaceable"; Gnarls Barkley for best single by a group/duo for "Crazy"; Jennifer Hudson with the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year; Ne-Yo with Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist for "Sexy Love"; Webstar & Young B with Best R&B/Soul or Rap Dance Cut for "Chicken Noodle Soup"; and Babyface with Career Achievement in Songwriting. The ceremony will air through March 17-25. ...

Media conglomerate Viacom Inc. filed a lawsuit against Google on Tuesday (March 13) for a reported $1 billion for its use of copyrighted material on its YouTube website. According to Reuters, Viacom accuses Google and YouTube of "massive intentional copyright infringement" of the company's entertainment assets and seeks an injunction against further violations. They claim more than 160,000 unauthorized clips of its programming have been uploaded onto YouTube's site and viewed more than 1.5 billion times. ...

Three 6 Mafia are set to join the likes of rock groups such as Papa Roach, Hawthorne Heights, Godsmack and Social Distortion for the lineup in the 2007 Beale Street Music Festival in their hometown of Memphis. The event will run from May 4-6. ...

A British student, acting as a member of security staff, was shot in the stomach during a Pretty Ricky concert held in Britain on Saturday (March 10). According to The Sun UK, the unidentified 21-year-old man was shot after several fights broke out when someone threw a tear gas canister in the crowd during the group's performance at Loughborough University. The student is reportedly recovering in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Six others were also hospitalized over the incident. ...
