NICK CANNON AKA RICK ROSS
Last year I met infamous, ex-drug dealer Ricky "Freeway" Ross on February 2, 2012 in Detroit last year, we exchange numbers, and talked about his life story coming to the big screen. He told me briefly that he was very interested in Jamie Foxx portraying him on the big screen, but Foxx was unable, due to his commitment to Django and how strict Quentin Tarantino is when a actor is involved is his movies. So I suggested Lorenz Tate, I feel like its time for Lorenz to get the Oscar.
He also mentioned how difficult it was for him to secure a African American director, to come on board and direct the film, he said that John Singleton was involved at one point, and even Antoine Fuqua, but he was going to have a sit down with director Michael Mann.
Last night a YouTube video was uploaded by Ross and Cannon announcing to the world that Nick is going to portray Ross.
Nick announced "We family now, we are going to get this thing right. However long it takes, his story has got to be told."
TONY TURNER (MOTOWN MONDAY)
Whatever happened to writer Tony Tuner? after writing two books detailing his years as a road manager, groupie, of The Temptations, and The Supremes the issue I had with his books is that a majority of the stories seems fabricated.
It's extremely difficult for a13 year-old being able to have access to the hottest female group in the world. Secondly how did he become involved as a adult with Motown artist. As for his claims about friendship with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks, that too, seems a bit hard to believe. I notice that in every example of his "close" relationship with these stars, all 3 were deceased when he wrote those books.
All That Glittered: My Life with the Supremes and Deliver Us From Temptation: The Tragic and Shocking Story of the Temptations and Motown. I read both books years ago and recall the book being more about David Ruffin than the Temptations. After the release of the book Delivery Us from Temptations, there was some controversy surrounding it before it came out Turner subsequently wrote Temptations book and then was going to write a super juicy tell-all about Motown founder Berry Gordy, but Gordy threatened to sue Turner has implied he had affairs with male and female Motown employees.
Author Tony Turner, who was a Motown groupie during the Supremes Reign Turner, who died of AIDS, released a lot of personal and private stories about Motown Founder Berry Gordy and the Motown empire. then-Daily News gossip columnist George Rush at the time, published Turner’s allegations. Gordy sought legal action and sued the News for $250 million. The suit went on for several years but was eventually settled over a round of golf at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles between Gordy and News publisher Mort Zuckerman.
