After setting up shop in Birmingham, AL for two weeks during stage rehearsals, Jay-Z and Kanye West–now collectively known as The Throne–are headed to Atlanta, where they’ll kick off the fall leg of their highly anticipated Watch The Throne tour. The inaugural show is on Friday night (October 28) in the city’s Phillips Arena. The much-hyped tour is in support of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s platinum-selling album Watch The Throne and they’ll remain in town long enough to perform another show on Saturday night (October 29). The Birmingham News reports that Yeezy and Hov will hit the road on Wednesday night (October 26) after 200 workers assist with packing for the trek. Tour dates will take the duo as far as Canada in late November, before wrapping up in December. According to Phillips Arena manager Bobby Breedlove, concertgoers will likely be thrilled by the production. “It's a very large production, with 22 trucks," Breedlove told The Birmingham News. "There were a lot of logistical things to pull together. There are a lot of visual and lighting elements. It will be a very impressive show.” For fans that weren’t lucky enough to grab a ticket to the show, entertainment platform and tour co-sponsor VOYR will be broadcasting footage of the in a live stream on their website Friday night.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Marcia claims she signed a 1-year lease with the owners of the 4,200 square foot property back in August ... in which she agreed to pay $10k per month in rent ... plus a $20k security deposit. But Marcia claims the owners of the property sold the place after she moved in ... and the NEW owners are trying to kick her to the curb ... with only 3 days notice. In the docs, MGH says it just ain't fair ... claiming the OLD owners cashed her rent check for October without mentioning anything about a possible eviction ... and therefore, she's legally entitled to as much as 90 days notice before she has to be out.

[url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1673209/beverly-hills-cop-4-eddie-murphy-brett-ratner.jhtml"][b]FROM MTV MOVIES:[/b][/url] There seems to be two varying opinions on whether "Beverly Hill Cop 4" will ever happen. Ask the attached director, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/197471/personmain.jhtml"]Brett Ratner[/url], and he'll tell you he wants to make it happen with Eddie Murphy. But the response is ... rather different if you put the same question to the A-list actor. MTV News recently caught up with Ratner as he promoted [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/465269/moviemain.jhtml"]"Tower Heist,"[/url] out this Friday and starring yes, Murphy. The director sounded hopeful about another "Cop" sequel. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/10/26/eddie-murphy-brett-ratner-conflicted-on-beverly-hills-cop-4/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:704797?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] "I think one day, I'm hoping, because it is one of the most iconic characters ever," Ratner told us. "Eddie does not go anywhere in the world where they're not like, 'Axel Foley, what's up?' more than 'Eddie Murphy.' It is something that our hope and desire is to get it made." Much like he did with MTV News, Ratner has spoken on several occasions about his hopes for a fourth movie featuring the legendary Axel Foley, a Detroit cop who finds himself solving crimes in the very posh Beverly Hills. In the latest issue of [url="http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/eddie-murphy-speaks-why-he-s-quitting-family-movies-and-may-return-to-stand-up-20111026"][i]Rolling Stone[/i][/url], however, Eddie Murphy tells the magazine that the possibilities for a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" film are dead.

Big Sean -- real name Sean Michael Anderson -- was charged with 3rd degree sex abuse, forcible touching and 2nd degree unlawful imprisonment. But now, TMZ has learned prosecutors agreed to drop the first two charges on the condition that Big Sean plead guilty to misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment ... which carries a $750 fine. Sean's lawyer Scott Leemon tells TMZ, the rapper has accepted the terms -- and has paid the fine -- but still insists "he did not engage in any type of sexual misconduct."

Justin Bieber has proven that he’s a heavyweight in the music industry, working with a bevy of stars in his still-blossoming career. And although the Canadian teen sensation plans to drop a star-studded, holiday-themed album Under The Mistletoe next week, the 17-year-old is already looking to secure features from two of hip-hop’s biggest stars for his third studio album. During an interview with the UK’s Capital FM, Bieber revealed that he’s working with Kanye West and fellow Canadian heartthrob Drake for his upcoming album Believe. “I’m working with a lot of cool people,” Bieber told DJ Rich Clarke. “I’m working with Kanye. Drake is gonna work on the album with me and a lot of different artists.” West and Bieber have previously teamed up on Ye’s Wu-Tang flavored remix of “Runaway Love” with a feature from Clan swordsman Raekwon. The Biebs plans to add more hip-hop influences to his project, enlisting the services of Kevin Cossom, Bangladesh and Danja as well. Bieber’s visiblity in the hip-hop world has been on the steady rise, thanks to a recent feature on Chris Brown’s Boy In Detention mixtape, but the boy wonder was recently denied a cypher slot at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards, when he reportedly requested that Ludacris ghost write his raps. Nevertheless, Bieber’s Under The Mistletoe X-mas album should be another wildly successful smash, thanks to features that include Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men and his mentor Usher. Believe will be released in early 2012. [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2011/10/26/justin-bieber-taps-drake-kanye-west-believe-album/]View the full article[/url]
