Tuesday Tales

It looks like more entertainers will be joining singer Stevie Wonder in boycotting the state of Florida after the verdict in  George Zimmerman trial. Wale, Usher, along with Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, The Rolling Stones and many more have reportedly vowed to not perform in the state or any other that has a Stand Your Ground law in effect. It looks like rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri  will have to hand over cash for a Lamborghini he's apparently missed a few payments on. The dealership will have to wait in line, however. Dupri owes a huge IRS debt that he has yet to pay. Stay tuned. Actor/comedian Kevin Hart is being sued by a nightclub that claims he skipped out on a gig. Hart was set to host an event at the club, but reportedly nixed the idea in favor of hosting another. The club is seeking damages. Singer Beyoncé had something special planned for fans on the Detroit stop of her Mrs. Carter World Tour. She added the late Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" to her set. Although rich in history, the city of Detroit has amassed a $18 billion debt, which led to a recent bankruptcy filing, make it the largest U.S city to do so. Thus, Mrs. Carter's rendition of the 1963 classic was right on time. She was flanked by images of Aretha Franklin, Eminem, Kid Rock and other Detroit natives who've contributed to the city's rich musical history. The song choice was also fitting in light of the recent discussions regarding race brought forward by the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Cooke penned "A Change Is Gonna Come" in response to the racial inequality felt strongly in the south. The song later became a representation of the Civil Rights Movement. During a previous show, Beyoncé held a moment of silence for the slain teenager. Similarly, Mr. Carter, aka Jay Z, also used the stage to honor Martin. He and  his Legends of Summer Tour partner Justin Timberlake dedicated "Forever Young" to Martin during their show at Yankee Stadium on July 19. The following day he and Beyoncé stood by Martin's mother Sabrina at one of 100 rallies held nationwide. On DVD: "42" and "Evil Dead". On the tube: "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Extreme Weight Loss" on ABC and "Hollywood Game Night" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
