Big K.R.I.T. x Grillade "Hometown Hero" [PERFORMANCE]
"....Could of bought my way to heaven, but I blew it on my neck"
Mississippi native and recent Def Jam signee Big K.R.I.T. has collaborated with San Fransisco based Indie-Rock Band "Grillade" to compose a joint EP entitled "The 'Wuz Here' Sessions". Undoubtedly his June 2010 critically acclaimed mixtape "K.R.I.T Wuz Here" was a gem showcasing his lyrical content & soulful production that lead to his major label signing with Def Jam. Expect the 24-year-old double threat MC/Producer to make some serious noise in 11'.

Marky Mark aka "Mr.Wahlberg" To Star In Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he is set to star in David O.Russell’s ‘Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune’, a film based on the video game of the same name. In a recent interview, Wahlberg confirmed that he will play the lead, Nathan Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis Drake who embarks on a quest to uncover the fabled city of El Dorado. The collaboration between Wahlberg and O.Russell continues a lifelong love affair. The two just can’t get enough of each other. As well as ‘Three Kings’ and ‘I Heart Huckabees’, they recently worked together in ‘The Fighter’, a boxing biopic (like we needed another) about Mickey Ward, which is set to be released next month.
Here’s what Wahlberg had to say about the director and ‘Uncharted’ -
“David is one of the best writer/directors I’ve ever worked with,” Wahlberg said. “The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we’ll be making that movie this summer.”
David O. Russell is rumoured to be interested in getting Robert De Nero and Joe Pesci in on the project as Drake’s father and uncle. Here’s what Wahlberg had to say about that -
“I’m obviously in whatever David wants to do, but the idea of it is so off the charts: De Niro being my father, Pesci being my uncle. It’s not going to be the watered-down version, that’s for sure.”
We know that De Niro will do anything these days, and Pesci only comes out of retirement for really bad movies (The Good Shepherd), so I guess there is a possibility they might do this.
Is Wahlberg a good choice for Drake? Is there any chance that this will be a good movie?

Two and a half minutes on one breath. Filmed underwater in real-time for Human Planet, Bajau fisherman, Sulbin (aka fuckin' Aquaman!), freedives to 20 metres to catch a fish ...dare I say "breathe-taking".
Drake x Al Pacino To Star in "Arbitrage" [MOVIES]
I think it's safe to say that Drake fans, and non-fans alike saw the move from the stage to the big screen happening, but what I don't believe any of us saw happening was Al Pacino teaming up with the kid from Toronto for Arbitrage ...that is, without equivocation, risk-free profit at zero cost. Haaaa!The Nicholas Jarecki written ("The Outsider") indie financial thriller (Jarecki will also be directing) follows a hedge fund magnate (Pacino) who is in over his head and desperate to complete the sale of his shady trading empire to a major bank before his fraud is revealed. However, an unexpected, bloody error forces him to turn to the most unlikely corner for help in protecting him from rivals who want to bring him down. Susan Sarandon and Eva Green ("Casino Royale") are set to play the character's wife and art dealer mistress, respectively.
Thematically, I'm thinking the film will be something like Wallstreet meets The Thomas Crown Affair... but we'll have wait and see, won't we?
Production is scheduled for this March in New York.

Wah Do Dem [FILM]
Gotta love indie films. Gotta love Jamaica. I need to see this! Music & Appearances by: MGMT, Yeasayer, Santigold, The Congos, Suckers, Myskal Rose, Mr. Lexx and Sean Bones
In WAH DO DEM, young Brooklyn musician Max (Sean Bones) decides to go on a Caribbean cruise alone when his girlfriend Willow (Norah Jones) dumps him cold two days before the trip. Once in Jamaica, Max quickly escapes the tourist zone for more "authentic" surroundings and in the process is robbed of his possessions and is stranded, and literally misses the boat. As Max sets out for the American Embassy in Kingston on foot, Jamaica is waiting to meet him with unexpected and extraordinary encounters, including a full-moon celebration with the legendary reggae group The Congos, and a dreamy stay with a Rasta prophet (Carl Bradshaw, THE HARDER THEY COME).

Polaroid GL30 [GADGETS]
I want my picture NOW!
There is nothing like a Polaroid ...except for taking pictures on your point and shoot and having them developed/printed. But I digress, I've always been a fan of one stop shops, not to mention messing with vintage Polaroids for a little while now. Lady Gaga (who was announced as the new creative mind at Polaroid about a year ago.) has showcased the 21st century Polaroid camera at the Consumer Electronics Show this week. The pricing and release date has not been announced, but I'm guessing it'll drop in 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2011, and be priced about $200-250 USD. I like it. I want it. Do you?

Ted Williams aka Miracle Man [GOOD NEWS]
I want more stories like this on the news!
The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered a job and a house to a homeless man with a golden radio voice.
Ted Williams, whose deep baritone and plight have made him an online video sensation, was first contacted Wednesday by the NBA team during an interview on a local Columbus radio station.
"We'd like to offer you full-time work with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as Quicken Loans Arena. On top of it, because we know you're a person trying to get up on your feet, Quicken Loans is actually offering to pay a mortgage on a home," team spokeswoman Tracy Merek said on the show.
The 71-year-old father of nine tells Fox8.com that he will take the job offer.
"That lady offered me a full-time job with the Cavs and then something about the mortgage of a home? I'm going with that! Out of all the offers I've had, and I've had quite a few, I'll be working in Cleveland, Ohio," Williams told the website.
"It's just phenomenal and it's getting more and more overwhelming as the minutes go by."
Williams was spotted by the Columbus Dispatch newspaper standing near a highway exit ramp. In a video interview, Williams -- holding a cardboard sign that asks motorists for help and says, "I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times" -- explains in his smooth, deep voice that he grew up in New York and that he was drawn to radio at the age of 14.
Williams said he went to school for his voice training, but that his life was later affected by alcohol and drugs in the 1990s. He says he has been sober for two years.
NFL Films is also hoping to contact Williams about doing possible voiceover work.
