Looks like all of the Bossip promotion and Biggie controversy has paid off. Notorious is holding down the #4 spot right now:

With competition from movies like Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” and comedy “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” the Biggie Smalls biopic still performed well during its opening weekend, grabbing the no. 4 spot at the box office. The film landed in theaters on Friday (January 16) and during the weekend raked in $21.5, Continue »

The most hyped up film (well, black film) of the season continues to offer tidbits about taking on the characters of Notorious:

Biggie himself is played by Jamal (Gravy) Woolard, who says he definitely felt the pressure of stepping into shoes that were so, well, big. I had to make sure I perfected [his mannerisms],” the Brooklyn-born rapper/actor told us. “I went to Biggie boot camp. I gained weight Marlon Brando-style, and I studied at Juilliard to get the voice just right.” So what would Biggie think of his silver-screen tribute —and the legacy he left behind?

Follow us up under the hood for some throwback Bad Boy pics and Fabulous’ take on Biggie’s legacy. Continue »

We just got the heads-up on some backstage footage for the new Notorious movie. This fool, Jamal Woolard, is really in character and out of pocket woofing about Tupac and the old school beef. Hell, all three of the cast are spitting. That texturizer is still comedy on Derek Luke.

Diddy had a few sentiments about the movie, “Notorious”:

“The movie’s a mother’s story,” he explained. “[Big's] mother is the driving force of the movie getting done. I wanted the movie to speak for itself, so I haven’t been out there overhyping it. But truth be told, I was blown away by the movie. I was entertained by the movie. The movie is what was happening. Can’t no critics speak on it. I’m telling you, that’s my life right there. That’s what it was. That’s what was happening.” Continue »

More from Faith’s book…this could get interesting:

“I was pregnant and I know exactly how it happened. I couldn’t believe it. Big and I rarely used protection and I’d only gotten pregnant once, early on in the relationship. I’d had a miscarriage before we could think about what we were going to do about it.” “I decided I was keeping this baby. I called Big to share the news.” “He didn’t sound happy or sad. Just very noncommittal. “You keeping it?” he asked. “Yeah. I am,” I said. It was a quiet moment. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure…” Big made a weary sound. “Homegirl got pregnant, too,” he said. “What does that have to do with me?” “I made her get an abortion,” he said.

Now, our girl, Faith, hasn’t been too much of a messy chick. Well, there is the whole snorting coke ordeal, cough, but we will give her a pass because this is a nice picture of her. We think this book could really shed some accurate light on her and B.I.G.’s situation and, believe it or not, we kinda want to know what the hell else popped off in their world. What do you think about her upcoming book?
