B13 Peer Review

1. Paul Mournet was born in 1847 and although he is recorded as dead in 1922, his body was never found. This is because Paul Mournet didn't die. He is Keanu Reeves. We know this is true because you can read about it on Wikipedia.     2. Below are two photos of John Travolta. One was taken in 1890 when he was 22-years-old. The other was taken in 2009 when he was 141-years-old. 3. Nicolas Cage has led a long and prosperous life. Today he is a Hollywood actor; in 1870 he owned a bow tie of sorts. And going back even further, Nicolas was better known as Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg.   4. Most people believe that Leonardo DiCaprio was born in the mid-seventies, but there is strong evidence indicating that he was actually born in the early sixties and is in fact a woman called Judy Zipper. 5. The earliest photo of Jack Black isn't a photo; it's a painting. That's because cameras wern't invented in 1751. Back then, Jack went by the na...

Spencer Lowell              50 Cent: Walking away from Interscope (Photo: Spencer Lowell For Forbes). Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson spent much of his early life yearning for a record deal with one of the major labels. After a run with Universal-backed Interscope that began in 2003 and saw him sell over 30 million albums, he’s spent much of the past few years itching to leave. Yesterday, he got his wish: he’s departing the label that launched his career to forge ahead as an independent artist. He has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline/Capitol/UMG for G-Unit Records and his own releases, beginning with Animal Ambition , due out on June 3rd. “It’s freedom to invest in your own ideas,” he told FORBES in his first interview since the news broke. “If ever I had a horse that I was betting on at the track, I’d like to be the horse. Let it be me, goddammit, because I’m going to run as hard as I can.” He say...

 Accuser seeking payout to cover medical expenses.  The legal noise following Chris Brown hasn't died down since he's been in rehab.

Mimi gets all in her emotions with MTV.   It's been more than four years since  Mariah Carey  released an album, but that doesn't mean she hasn't been keeping busy.   The powerhouse diva has had her hands full with  twins Roc and Roe, a.k.a. Dem Babies , and a season judging "American Idol." But now she's back and ready to give her Lambily the music they've been waiting for.   Carey stopped by MTV News last week to premiere the video for her new single,  "You're Mine (Eternal),"  and while she was here she told MTV correspondent Sway all about her still-untitled 14th studio album, due out May 6.   Get More: Mariah Carey , Music News "The album itself was always most important because I wanted to make sure that it was a journey that was representative of who I am and what I've been through over the past three years," Carey explained.

However, he says neither of those plans materialized, and that the MC’s team shut him out from residuals from Minaj-branded wigs   ...

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law set the stage for the injustice we've just witnessed — enabling Michael Dunn to kill Jordan Davis and not fully answer for that crime. Our message to elected officials: It's time to end "Stand Your Ground" and other Shoot First laws that undermine public safety, senselessly put people at risk, and enable the kind of tragedy we’ve witnessed in the case of Jordan Davis. I’m calling on you to take leadership and undo these dangerous laws now. One night before what would have been Jordan Davis' 19th birthday,   a Florida jury has returned with a mistrial verdict for his killer, Michael Dunn, on the count of first-degree murder. Dunn, however, was found guilty on four charges — including three for attempted murder. That's right —   a white man killed an unarmed Black teenager and just got away with it, using Florida's so-called "Stand Your Ground" or "Shoot First" law a...
