Monday Memo

The superhero film "Iron Man 3" topped the weekend box office, earning over $175 million. "Pain & Gain",, "42", "Oblivion" and "The Croods" round out the top five films of the week. It's officially over between Chris Brown and Rihanna. Brown has confirmed that the two are no longer dating and that because he's still young, he should be dating a lot of women. In the meantime, a model he was rumored to be dating in the past just may resurface anytime soon. It looks like rapper Lil Wayne will no longer be doing the Dew. Song drink giant Mountain Dew has dropped the rapper from his endorsement deal due to pressure from the family of late civil rights icon Emmett Till. The family stated Wayne's lyrics on the single "Karate Chop" where he mentions Twill were offensive. Wayne wrote a letter of apology in which he acknowledged the family's pain, but never said I'm sorry. No comment from the New Orleans rapper.  It will be interesting to see what comes of several new shows scheduled to hit primetime. The networks are pulling out all the stops to get viewers and it's the viewers who will determine which shows make the cut. We'll have to wait and see. Singer Fantasia Barrino graces the cover of the latest issue of Upscale magazine. In the article she discusses the events of her life the last few years and what's next. Upscale magazine is on newsstands now.
