So we hear from Necole Bitchie that Lil Kim finally got to see the movie Notorious, even though she said she wanted nothing to do with going to see the biopic. Of course she is still unhappy as to how she was potrayed in the movie. According to a note on her facebook page, Lil Kim pens:

I feel like I was not portrayed how I should have been in this movie. I was in love with BIG and he was in love with me. I was never a JUMP-OFF, I know this and BIG knew this. I wasn’t even able to choose who I wanted to portray me in this movie. I would have never picked Naturi, she doesn’t have a Lil Kim aura at all! She looks nothing like I looked back then. We have NO similarities. Watching her on-screen was so “dreadful” as Simon Cowell would say. She is tasteless and talentless. Never once did she contact me for input or to get a feel of me for the character. A “TRUE” actress would contact the source to be the best they can be in portaying someone. That told me right there, she wasn’t right for the part and not to mention, Naturi has got to be one of THE worst actresses I’ve ever seen and I can’t believe they chose her. I really can’t! (more…)

WOW! Once you get a lil fame, you can’t escape the media gettin’ a hold of all your dirt! Sheesh! Well we hear that Jamal “Gravy” Woolard is a wife beater! The rapper/actor who played Notorious B.I.G. in the recent biopic is due in court this month because he faces allegations that he assaulted his wife. I guess they are back on good terms because his wife was with him at the New York movie premiere! Wierd! Anywho, TMZ says that the court records reveal that the actor was arrested and charged on Sept. 14 with misdemeanor assault, menacing, and harassment following an alleged altercation with his wife, Trina Younger.   (more…)

Reports of violence weren’t enough to keep moviegoers away this past weekend from seeing Notorious, the much anticipated biopic of slain Hip-Hop icon The Notorious B.I.G. Released figures have confirmed the project grossed $21.5 million in its opening weekend.

This is just sad! Although the movie did well during its debut weekend, two tragic incidents went down at the Notorious premiere. News reports reveals that there was a shooting that took place in cinema in Greensboro, North Carolina where the Notorious Premiere was taking place. It resulted with one person getting shot in the stomach in the cinema’s lobby. Police confirmed that Jamal “Gravy” Wollard, the actor who plays Biggie, was in the movie theatre during the shooting, but escaped safely. Greensboro Police Lt. James Hinson speaking to ‘News and Record’ said “We can’t say whether or not this shooting is in direct relationship to the movie Notorious… We just can’t say.” (more…)

Will you be at the premiere today? Do you think this movie will do well? Jamal Woolard thinks so (see video)!

UPDATE: Jim Jones and Juelz Santana want to give back to hip hop. Today at 9 p.m. they will be opening the doors to a movie theatre in Harlem to offer free admission for the premiere of Notorious (Biggie’s biopic). “I did it for hip-hop,” asserts Jones. “It’s as big asObama’s being the first black president. This is part of our history in the urban community; Biggie was our first Obama.” (more…)

We previously reported that Lil Kim wants to take no part on promoting the movie “Notorious”. She felt as if she had no say so in how she was potrayed in the film. Well Faith Evans, who was once married to Biggie, wanted to clear the air about Lil Kim’s role in the movie. In an interview with MTV.com, Faith said  “I don’t know what [Kim] wanted. But we all signed the same agreement to be portrayed in the movie.”

“I try my best not to think about it. It’s kinda sad,” she continued. “I got four kids, and I definitely don’t have time for this type of sh**. It’s just sad. I don’t know Kim’s story like that. The part of my life that she was a part of, that’s what was in my book. This movie is not relative to my book other than that there are certain things in there. This is not my movie. I didn’t write the script. Any characters in the film had to agree for their life rights to be in the movie. I don’t think I would have signed anything had I felt I was not portrayed properly. I think she had the opportunity to do that. I could be mistaken. I wasn’t there.” (more…)

In an X-clusive interview with Yo Raps Magazine, Charlie Baltimore reveals her relationship with Notorious B.I.G, her exchange of words with Faith Evans, and Kim’s so called relationship with Biggie. She says that Lil Kim wasn’t Biggie’s girl! WOW! Kim will have a comeback soon! I’m sure Biggie is looking down and shaking his head upon all the girls fighting over him now! Check out some excerpts from the interview here:

Yo Raps: Well, I’m glad you brought that up because Faith Evans came out with a book called Keep The Faith.

Charlie B:  Hmmm.

Yo Raps: In the book she talks about her experience with B.I.G. and she discussed you a lot in the book, but she never calls you Charli Baltimore. She always refers to you as Tiffany.

Charlie B:  She shouldn’t. At the time I was Tiffany. When Biggie and I were in a car accident that’s when I became Charli Baltimore. It came from us being in the hospital together. I was already doing the rap thing but I didn’t have a rap name. So she would call me Tiffany. I had discussed this with Faith. Me and Faith had words and we definitely had our little moments but we never had any physical altercations. It wasn’t anything totally disrespectful. When B.I.G. passed, I called Faith and gave my condolences to her children because I thought that was the right thing to do. She knew about me and I knew that B.I.G. still had feelings for her. They were going through a separation, a divorce. The problem that comes is that Lil Kim made it seem like she had a relationship with BIG that they really didn’t have. I don’t aggressively go at it and try to dispute it, like if you want to make people think that y’all had a relationship that was outside of sex, then that’s fine. That’s your business. People believe that. So it’s always like well, where did Charli fit in? Or where did Tiffany come in? Me and BIG were in a relationship! (more…)

The New York Premiere of the Biggie Smalls biopic “Notorious” went down last night at the AMC Lincoln Square. Some of the cast also stopped by 106& Park to promote the movie that will hit the big screen next Friday, January 16th, 2008. Are you going to see the movie?

We hear that Lil Kim is extremely unhappy about the new Biggie Biopic (Notorius) and the casting for the film. She said during an interview with Hip Hop Weekly that was unhappy that producers picked Naturi Naughton of 3LW fame to play her. It was also speculated that Kim felt her relationship with B.I.G. was sensationalized. She’s blaming Big’s mother, Ms. Wallace, and wife, Faith Evans, for their involvement. Check out an excerpt from the interview Lil Kim had with Hip Hop Weekly (HHW):

HHW: What are your thoughts on the Biggie movie?

LK: I want the world to be clear; I have NOTHING to do with that movie. That movie is Faith and Ms. Wallace’s story. Most of the story is bullshit especially the way my character is being depicted. There are a lot of lies in the movie. I had no idea it was even going into production, until one day I got a call from my manager at the time, Lance “Un” Riviera, and he said ” Yo! You know they caste this girl Naturi [Naughton] to play you in the Biggie movie,” I was outraged. I was upset, because to me, to do an autobiography about someone’s life, you want it to be as authentic as possible. I was not involved in the movie. They never came and asked me anything about Biggie, but again this was Faith and Ms. Wallace’s movie.

HHW: So it’s safe to say you didn’t approve of the casting?

LK: I couldn’t believe it. I was outraged. (more…)
