| Posted: 12 Nov 2012 09:06 AM PST Rapper Lil' Wayne interviewed NLF superstar Randy Moss recently where the two fellas discussed Randy coming out of retirement and being "outspoken" in the industry. Watch the interview inside and find out how well Naomie Harris' Skyfall flick did at the box office. Lil' Wayne, who was grounded by his doctors a while back, shows no signs of slowing down as he got his side hustle on and appeared on ESPN's "NFL Countdown" yesterday. The hard core sports fan partook in his side hustle with ESPN and chatted up San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss. Randy, who is know for being pretty outspoken, talked to Weezy about the luxury of being able to speak his mind public and how it sometimes gets him into trouble (just like Wayne). Randy revealed that he went into retirement to get closer to his family but his love of football left him feeling empty. He says he cried like a baby in his garage one day and his oldest daughter comforted him and encouraged him to return to the game. Aww. Watch the interview here:
And in movie news.... Skyfall stars Daniel Craig and Naomie Harris have a lot to celebrate as the 23rd installment of the "Bond" series had its biggest opening weekend ever! The film exceeded expectations and grossed an amazing $89M over the weekend in the US (including Thursday night previews). And the good news didn't stop there as the film's overseas recepits totaled $428.6M bringing the worldwide gross to $518.6M One Sony exec said, “Skyfall blew past all expectations for the film...the biggest juggernaut in the history of the James Bond franchise.” Meanwhile, Denzel Washington's "Flight" finished at #3 with $15M over the weekend (and was in over 1500 less theaters than the leading 2 films). GREAT movie as well by the way. Here's the rest of the box office:

| Celebs Jet To Frankfurt For The 2012 MTV EMAs Posted: 12 Nov 2012 08:40 AM PST Celebs headed over to Frankfurt, Germany this weekend for last night's MTV European Music Awards. Check out Kanye, Kim, Alicia Keys and more partying it up in Europe inside.... Kanye West was up for an EMA last night, so he hit up Frankfurt's historic Festhalle with his girl Kim K., who was conveniently asked to be a presenter. The twosome cuddled up in the audience...and backstage too: Kin rocked a couture Stephane Rolland dress for the occasion, that had a train that looked like cassette tape ribbon.
Before she hit the stage to perform, Alicia Keys hit the carpet in a green, sheer & black Stella McCartney Summer 2012 Collection dress. Good look for her. And loving the metallic pumps.
She performed her single "Girl On Fire" with an actual ring of fire present. Alicia also accepted the Global Icon Award on behalf of Whitney Houston. Rita Ora gave us a familiar scene as she hit the stage with her bleached blonde hair and umbrella. And clearly chick loves herself soe red lace as she rocked a full jumpsuit and matching jacket, plus this lace bodice red gown for the carpet: Love this look. She posed it up with Taylor Swift (who copped 3 out of the 5 awards she was nominated for) and Kim. Nicki Minaj also won for Best Hip Hop. Pics: Getty  |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2012 07:17 AM PST Rapper Swizz Beatz was slapped with a New York state tax lien while "Elmo" creator Kevin Clash took a leave of absence from "Sesame Street" because of a sex scandal. Find out more info inside... "Elmo" creator Kevin Clash has taken a leave of absence from his role on Sesame Street to deal with allegations stemming from an underage sex scandal. Kevin (who was 45 at the time) was accused of being sexually involved with a 16-year-old boy (who's now 23) after the accuser revealed their relationship to lawyers at Sesame Workshop. In response to the revelation, Sesame Workshop told TMZ ...
Officials from the company say an investigation was conducted and they found that the allegations of underage sex was unsubstantiated. But clearly this issue isn't over. Kevin told TMZ that "I had a relationship with [the accuser]. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not." So what does that mean for Elmo? Sesame Workshop said, .
So it sounds like the Elmo character will live on....Kevin Clash's career at Sesame Street might not. He's been associated wiht the character for YEARS. This is a sad situation.
And another guy with problems..... Though he's made millions producing for artists like Alicia Keys and Eve, in addition to signing lucrative endorsements with companies like Reebok, producer Swizz Beatz is still millions in debt to the IRS and NY. The state of NY recently filed a tax lien against Swizz for unpaid taxes from 2010 amounting to $98,246.18 while the IRS says he owes them $2.6 million. Damn! While he's constantly ranked as one of hip hop's highest earners, Swizz has been consistently plagued with a slew of taxes issues. Maybe Mr. Dean needs to hire some new folks to watch his money in the bank and pay those taxes correctly. Especially when you have umpteen kids and a wife to care for. So far, he and his reps haven't addressed the tax woes publically.
