Life Imitates Art Imitating Life


It appears venturing into a theater complex featuring the movie Notorious, a cultural film about the life and death of rapper Notorious BIG is attracting gangsta wanna-be's and gansta's from everywhere. (For those not in the know... Biggie Smalls the Notorious B.I.G. was killed in March 1997 at the age of 24.)

In what is sure to be the first of many shootings, Greensboro Cinema in Greensboro North Carolina is the theater lucky enough hold the starting position. Perhaps it was because the actor Jamal Woolard, the star portraying Notorius B.I.G. attended the film bringing out any old adversaries of Biggies that may have felt that like Elvis, Biggie was still among us. Police state that Biggie ...er Jamal Woolard left the building.

Check back at PCM as we count the shootings at theater complexes featuring Notorious. Word to the wise, avoid any complex with this film, especially if you have children.

JAY-Z will headline this summer's Glastonbury Festival!!!

Though January just ended, Hov's had a pretty active 2008. The Glastonbury announcement caps off an eventful week for the mogul. On Monday, JAY-Z premiered an Exclusive Video of "Pray", which was comprised of live footage from his "American Gangster" Tour. Sandwiched between today's announcement and Monday's premiere, JAY and DJ Clue hit the web with "Ain't I" from Clue's upcoming I Am Legend mixtape, among other things.

This summer in the United Kingdom, JAY-Z will, again, be putting on a historical, groundbreaking performance. The Glastonbury Festival is traditionally headlined by Rock and Alternative acts like Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse and Oasis. JAY-Z will be the 1st rapper - not to mention, one of the most successful artists - to ever headline the Festival. Glastonbury Festival organizer, Michael Eavis, told the BBC he was looking to "break with tradition this time and put on something totally different." Getting JAY-Z on stage seems like a pretty good step in that direction.
