June 4, 2011

It appears that UMG Rapper, Michael Barber, enjoyed his three day event at the Playboy Mansion in January, and is now dating hooking up with former Playboy Mansion Model, Lyla Lei. The two have been spotted out and around the Orlando area and at 3 Orlando Magic basketball games.

Lyla Lei sometimes known in adult films as Leyla Lei, Liela Lei, or Lilah Lae is from Long Beach, California but does do scenes in south Florida.

Barber, lives outside of Orlando, Florida.

While Lyla is known as being one a hot asian model and porn star, Barber is a lesser known musician, who is in talks with Death Row Records (yeah, the one from the 90s), and was last in the news for dating Danielle Fishel. Fishel is better known as Tapanga, from the hit TV show, Boy Meets World. (Yes, again from the 1990s.)

Suge Knight going at Eminem and Dre in Movie

March 26, 2010

Former Death Row Records owner Marion “Suge” Knight is reportedly poking fun at Dr. Dre and Eminem in an upcoming short film.
According to reports, the project was filmed by two amateur filmmakers.
Hip-hop heavyweight Marion “Suge” Knight has helped boost a pal’s film career by attacking his rap rivals on camera. The former Death Row Records boss is the focus of young filmmakers Jabari Henley and Shane Taylor’s short, The Mic, which pokes fun at rap stars like Eminem and Dr. Dre. Knight agreed to rant about his rivals as a favor to pal Big U – Henley’s father. (Celebrity Mound)
The project was reportedly filmed in early March.

Producer Josh Sands, who oversaw the project at the Hollywood Film & Acting Academy, says, “Jabari and Shane came to me with this idea and said they could get Suge Knight on camera. I wasn’t convinced but then he just showed up. He was here for about two hours. “He’s a very intimidating character, but a real natural in front of the camera.” The short was shot three weeks ago and has only just been completed – because Knight’s comments had to be heavily edited.

Although Knight a toll on Em and Dre, legal concerns forced him to omit directly referencing them.

Sands adds, “He doesn’t mention Dr. Dre or Eminem by name but it’s clear who he’s talking about and some of the things he said were really graphic. Legally we couldn’t release some parts of the interview. “In the end we had about five minutes and our plan is to put the film online to help promote the Hollywood Film & Acting Academy.”
