Rumor has it that Oprah is looking for a crib in the District to be by her man, Obama:

OPRAH Winfrey wants to be as close to Barack Obama as possible. Insiders say Winfrey has started a preliminary search for a home in Washington, DC. A nine-bedroom Georgetown mansion she’s said to have asked about is listed at $50 million, but another source said, “She has never personally been to see it.”

We mean, damn, is Oprah trying to be president in a few terms or something? Spending $50 millions stacks on a crib to be near the president (and his wife and kids, might we add) is a bit aggressive, Harpo.

Pharrell has been tabbed by Universal Pictures to do the score for an upcoming movie:

Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment have set Preston Whitmore to write and direct “Zoom,” a music-themed film that teams “8 Mile” producer Brian Grazer with musician and music producer Pharrell Williams.

Grazer and Williams will produce. Williams will compose the score and soundtrack.

“Zoom” is the story of a troubled West Virginia youth who attends a music academy and finds his voice and a place in the world.

Whitmore most recently wrote, directed and produced “This Christmas.”

Imagine just released the Ron Howard-directed “Frost/Nixon.”

Endeavor repped Whitmore and Williams.

I mean damn…they have ridden this troubled rapper/dancer/singer thing into the ground. Can we get a break for a while? (LOL at us sounding like Bossipers commenting on a Beyonce post) The best thing the movie has going is the score and soundtrack, which we’re sure Pharrell will hook up properly.

For all the die hard Snoop Dogg fans out there, his “doghouse” is up for grabs:

Sometimes, being in the dog house can be a good thing.

Especially when it’s Snoop Dogg’s Dogg House. The hip-hop star is putting his favorite old backyard haunt—where he’s done some serious woodshedding over the years to craft some of his biggest hits and hang out with some of music’s brightest luminaries—on the eBay auction block to raise funds for Snoop’s Youth Football League.

Will Smith is going to be giving his fans all they can handle by signing on to do “Hancock II” and a prequel for “I am Legend”:

WILL Smith has sequel fever. The box-office magnet is in talks to finalize follow-ups to both “Hancock” and “I Am Legend.” A Hollywood insider said, “He is ready to do both. Producers are just trying to get Charlize Theron to sign on for the ‘Hancock’ sequel.” As for “I Am Legend,” it will be more of a prequel as Smith’s character died at the end of the zombies-take-Manhattan movie. “It will be about how the disease spreads and the fall of the last great American city. It will also develop the relationship between Will’s character and his wife.” A rep for Smith said, “There have been talks about both of these projects.”

I mean Bad Boys II was good, but it didn’t really do it for us like the first one. Why mess with a good thing, Will? At any rate, who’s checking for either “Hancock II” or the prequel to “I am Legend?”

LaLa discusses the living situation and raising her son with Carmelo Anthony:

“I love my home and I’m happy here, but it gets a little overwhelming when it comes to decorating,” says LaLa. “At night, when I’m home by myself, this big house gets kind of scary and I lock me and my son in my room.” Although there are six bedrooms-one of which is reserved for Anthony’s clothes-it’s the couple’s private quarters that LaLa considers her safe haven; she uses candles to create a serene ambiance.

Look at these little Juicy-Juice lovin’ tots, Romelo (L) and Rock, with their mean mugs in full effect. They better cut it out before we get a chucky-doll and scare the sh*t out of ‘em (kidding).

They are too cute and they are getting some early shine as they pose for Monica’s “Regions of Rock” clothing line, which is set to drop right before Christmas.

Here is a preview of the double cover of the upcoming issue of Essence; and the world’s most influential and eloquent couple bless it. Although the pick with Hillary may be kind of shady, we will not lose faith so quickly in our man of the millennium. They look spectacular.

Thanks to Luda, some families in Atlanta will have something to be thankful for:

Ludacris will bring holiday cheer to 500 Atlanta families this Thanksgiving, via his non-profit organization, The Ludacris Foundation.

This weekend (November 22 & 23rd), Luda and the foundation’s LudaCares program will distribute Thanksgiving turkeys and pies to underprivileged residents of metro Atlanta.

“This is the foundation’s sixth year giving away turkeys and distributing food boxes for Thanksgiving,” Ludacris revealed. “I especially look forward to this time of year because it allows me directly touch the people we are trying to help.”

On the 22nd the foundation will distribute food items to areas on the Southside of Atlanta. On the 23rd, Ludacris will be on the North side of Atlanta, distributing more food to local residents in need of a hand this holiday.

The events are private, for recipient families who have been pre-selected by community organizations who have partnered with the Ludacris Foundation.

We never get tired of hearing about black folks who have made it turning around and giving a helping hand. And Luda is definitely one of the leaders of the pack when it comes to giving back to the black community. You go, boy.
