Facebook Movie Script Leaked By Blogger!

With the numbers of people joining Facebook into the millions, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to make a movie about the mega popular social network. Well, that someone was Alan Sorkin, creator of "West Wing."

And today the internet is abuzz because details of Sorkin's script have leaked thanks to ScriptShadow blogger, Carson Reeves. ScriptShadow's tagline reads "reviewing the latest Hollywood scripts." Seems Reeves got the inside scoop!

According to Reeves review, Mark Zuckerberg, described as "slightly cooler than Bill Gates", is dumped by his girlfriend, Erica. Angrily, he blogs about the break up and in the process is inspired to start a website. Basically, the site allows Harvard dudes to rate the "hotness" of female students. With the help of his best friend, Eduardo, the site becomes a campus success.

Their creativity earns them the attention of Cameron and Tyler, two wealthy star athletes of Harvard's row team. They have a Myspace-esque idea and want Mark to handle all the technical aspects. Mark takes on the project and adds his own creative twists and touches. Those most important being adding a real life aspect to the site where only personal details about site users would only be shared amongst friends of the user's choosing. He called his new internet creation, Facebook.

The rest of the story reads like a scandalous corporate drama complete with backstabbing, manipulation, and success-at-all-cost scheming. So is there a happy ending? I'm not telling, you'll just have to wait! Remember, this is only the first draft of the story. By the time it reaches the big screen, the story may totally be changed, so don't get attached.

And this just in, literally,"Fight Club" and "Benjamin Button" director, David Fincher is in talks with Columbia Pictures to direct the movie. That said, think Brad Pitt would turn back the hands of time again and portray Zuckerberg? Again, we'll have to wait and see.

I Never Will Say Goodbye, Michael Jackson!

The poignant and inspirational memorial service is over. So sweet prince, Michael Joseph Jackson, King of Pop, what ever title we here on earth give you, I say to you rest now, for God still has use for you on the other side.

So I WILL not say goodbye. I WILL see you in a smile of a fellow fan; see your influence in other artists as they aspire to be like you; see your dance steps unrehearsed and clumsily imitated the next time there's a old skool MJ remix at the club.

Moreover, I'll feel your presence as a church choir sings "Man In The Mirror" or "You Are Not Alone", or better yet feel close to you when I'm driving through LA streets blaring "Remember the Time", and doing that famous Fatima choreography in my seat.

And though you're not here in flesh, your legacy of philanthropy, caring, and giving back to the world will last forever. Now other entertainers, especially of this time know that they have been blessed so that they can be a blessing to others not just musically.

So MJ I dedicate your song right back to you! Here's Siedah Garrett, writer of "Man in the Mirror" honoring you with Agape's International Choir.

Ginuwine Album Release Party: Trey Songz, Columbus Short, Tank, Talk New Music, New Projects

Okay folks, allow me to apologize. This post was supposed to be up before the BET Awards. But life threw us a curve ball June 25 that none of us were expecting and personally it took me off course. That said, it's time to get back on track.

So after hearing me chat it up with gorgeous party guests: Trey Songz, Tank, Columbus Short, and the man of the night, Ginuwine, take a listen to his, "A Man's Thoughts" album by pressing play on the album widget.

A Tribute to Michael & The Jackson Family: Leimert Park, Los Angeles

The day after... The shock of Michael's passing was still settling in and I had to do something to honor this man and his family. So without much preparation I grabbed the camera, called a friend, and headed to historic Leimert Park to be amongst those who needed to express our love for Michael Jackson in some way--through dance, song, spoken word, or written words on colorful tees. Here's the results:

Michael Jackson 1958-2009: Gone, But His Spirit Is Ever Present

I almost headlined this post "Michael Jackson Dies at age 50", but I couldn't make myself act as if this post is business as usual in keyword usage. Secondly, I really didn't want to write that Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, died. Writing it gives it a permanence a part of me still doesn't want to admit.

I even thought of setting up the camera and making a personal video response to the news of his death. He impacted my life that much, but I'm not willing to be seen crying on the internet. This blog enables me to write, express my hurt, and cry without worry of how I look doing it.

The Blackberry is ringing and vibrating. Friends are calling to talk, to reflect, to sympathize, to gossip. I don't feel like talking. When it feels this bad, I'm compelled to write. So instead I surround myself with blessed quietness so I can hear God speak.

A friend, a family member, an inspiration, a legend transitioned from flesh to spirit just moments ago and I'm going to miss his presence immensely. Yes, I'll see glimpses of him in others, but nothing and no one will ever truly replace the original.

"So, why are you crying? It's not like you knew him." I didn't have to be invited to his home to feel Michael's spirit. As I commented elsewhere online, in order to affect the world the way he did, his true spirit had to come through. Only spirit gets beneath the social, economical, political, and racial surfaces we are so distracted by and inspires generations around the globe to live out their dreams. MJ did that and more.

Why else am I crying? Because I wanted to see Mike be on top again before he officially ended his career. I wanted him to show the world that genius spirit on stage one more time. Say what you want about his looks, his clothes, when The King of Pop took stage all the haters and the gossip spewers bowed down to his brilliance. But now that is not to be. Gone to Soon? Only God knows.

So I will give myself only a few more hours of blessed quietness before responding to the calls. And during that quiet time, I'm going to say a prayer, a prayer for comfort and peace beyond understanding. Death sometimes seems so much harder on the living than those that actually passed away.

Lastly, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, you are not forgotten. They now suffer no more. Both were incredible talents too that inspired many to follow their dreams. I pray God's comfort and peace for their family and friends as well.

To the McMahon, Fawcett, O'Neal, and especially Jackson families I dedicate this song:

We Used To Wednesday Pt. 2: Black Music Month Tribute

It's just a matter of days before the 2009 BET Awards. So I've been reflecting on the music that impacted my life for the past week as we get closer to BET Awards Sunday. I started with the 70s and 80s, then Making the Band Monday, and now "We Used to Wednesday" is upon us again.

So let's think back when we used to dress like the music stars we so adored? Remember damn near every kid on the block borrowed something from Michael Jackson's wardrobe--the highwater black pants with white socks and penny loafters, or the infamous one glove, and then the most coveted item--that red jacket from either "Beat it" or "Thriller"?

For the Hip Hop heads, remember when the fellas used to rock whatever Run DMC or LL Cool J was sporting. The "fresh" Kangos, suede Adidas sneaks with the fat laces or no laces at all, Can't forget the black leather jackets, gold chains, Gazelles, and sweat suits. RIP Jam Master Jay!



Do the ladies run this m****k! Hell yes! Okay ladies remember when we used to search high and low for big hoop earrings, perfect pair of black biker shorts to show off our thickness, and multiple silver or gold bracelets or just colorful thick ones. I'mma take you back! One third of Shalamar influenced my first hoop earring purchase.



Can't forget the "Round da way girls"! Remember when we used to scare our mothers to death by coming home from the beauty shop with the asymmetric bobs? Then to keep it "fresh" and "fly" we added the door knocker earrings, belt buckles with our names in them, and again those ever popular black biking shorts. At that time, these 3 ladies definitely turned it into a fashion statement.

Speaking of hair, think back to when young boys wanted to rock that Gumby-esque hairstyle Bobby Brown wore in this sexy video. Funny, now everything is about the mohawk!

Front if you want to, but those loose fitting bottoms Bobby Brown rocked in that video were brought to the mainstream by Mc Hammer. But "Hammer pants" as we called them weren't really anything new, just a fashion statement borrowed from traditional African garb.

Knee pads! Who would've thought that knee pads would become a fashion statement in a music video? A pretty girl in knee pads meant hard core dancing was about to take place. Mary J. Blige wasn't the first to do it. But I'd be willing to bet this woman helped bring it to the mainstream. So why knee pads? Was it a principle of need or pleasure?



Okay this last entry brings things more current. This woman was born under water with 3 dollars and 6 dimes. Her Afro-centric vibe seemed to make headwraps, ankh rings and funky bracelets more than a mere fashion statement. They seemed to represent a way of thinking.

Making The Band Monday: Black Music Month Tribute

The 70s and 80s gave us some of the best bands that still tour today. Real musicians, real instruments.

The Elements: Earth, Wind, & Fire!

Frankie Beverly & Maze: When the DJ drops this classic hit in the club, time rolls back and you groove to it like your parents did when it first came out!



These brothers from Tuskegee University! That's right! These former HBCU students produced some of the best music ever! Then when Lionel went solo...y'all know how the story goes.



I really like Charlie Wilson's current music. But before being a solo artist he led the Gap Band to hit after hit, putting Oklahoma on the map. Outstanding was and still is the jam.



Baby, what's your phone number? This was the jam! That Minneapolis sound ruled the day in the mid 80s.



Okay, where my ladies at? Klymaxx is in da house!

This list could go on forever, but I'm gonna stop it here. It's on to the next decade on Wednesday.
