Monday Memo

The film "Dolphin Tale" topped the weekend box office, earning over $14 million dollars. "Moneyball", "The Lion King", "50/50" and "Courageous" round out the top five films of the week. Hip hop's biggest and brightest stars turned out for the tapping of the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards at the Atlanta Civic Center. Some are still talking about the after parties, however. Sean "Diddy" Combs threw a party, where he reportedly called out a gentleman for not drinking his brand of vodka. He later went on the slap the drink out the the man's hand. Rapper T.I. was also at the event, and depending on which rumor you believe, got on the microphone to either ask the gentlemen to stop the beef, or slapped Combs backstage at the event. So far, there's been no response from either rapper's camp regarding the matter. Rapper B.o.B. stated during an interview with Atlanta radio station V-103 that the title of his next album will be "Strange Clouds". He's gotten some inspiration from legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday, who had a hit called "Strange Fruit" in the 1940's. At any rate, he also revealed that after much debate, he and the powers that be at this record label, Atlantic, decided on "Strange Clouds" as the first single and album title. The MC is preparing the album to hit store shelves next spring. His debut album, "B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray", was released in April 2010. For fans who are unaware, a bizarre incident took place between singer/actor Tyrese Gibson and a DJ at Deleware radio station KISS 101.7. The singer arrived to be interviewed, and after discovering that liquor stores in the area have been allowed to open near elementary schools, let his feelings on the matter be known. He was then escorted out of the building. He took to his Twitter account to discuss the incident, and stood his ground regarding the matter. Meanwhile, Tony Quartarone, in an interview with TMZ, claimed that the singer was escorted out of the building not because of his position on the liquor stores, but because the station felt his use of the word "homies" was disrespectful. Stay tuned. Just when you thought it was over, the Game/50 Cent feud continues. It appeared that the beef between the two former partners began this week when 50 released a track titled "Love, Hate, Love" where he takes a few slights at his former protege. Never one to back away from beef, Game promised to retaliate. 50 took shots at Lil Wayne in a song as well. The G-Unit general has an album due for release in November. The competition continues on "Dancing With The Stars". Tonight's episode should be an exciting one for fans, less any wardrobe malfunctions. On the tube: "Terra Nova" on Fox, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC and 'The Sing-Off" on NBC. Happy Monday!
