FAST & FURIOUS STAR LUDACRIS COULDN’T HELP LOOKING GOOD AT JOHN SINGLETON FUNERAL

The sad event of John Singleton’s funeral today was made slightly more bearable by the appearance of Ludacris. We don’t get to see The Fast and the Furious star dressed up all that often and he looks quite handsome. John Singleton directed Ludacris in 2 Fast 2 Furious in 2003. We didn’t realize that Ludacris (Christopher Bridges) studied music management at Georgia State University before he became a successful rapper. He founded The Ludacris Foundation in 2002 to inspire youth to realize the importance of education.

TARYN MANNING: LOTSA HUSTLE, NOTSO MUCH FLOW

hustlecut.jpgWe LOVE Taryn Manning’s outspoken comments about working on the movie Hustle & Flow. (If you missed it – Taryn was AMAZING in this movie. ) She revealed to Stuff magazine that producer John Singleton was a cheapskate. He hired actors willing to work for scale and when the movie sold at Sundance for a ton of money, the actors got NOTHING. She went on to criticize Singleton’s bragging about the Hustle actors: He said “They all have careers because of me.”
Taryn snorts “Yeah , Terrence Howard has an incredible career, but the rest of us were looking forward to that paycheck!” We admire a girl who speaks her mind.
