Lauryn Hill Comeback

Lauryn Hill preempting a possible comeback has signed a new deal with Sony Music.

The former Fugees star has been plagued with both financial and legal dramas of late following a recent charge for tax fraud from the I.R.S who are pursuing her for 968,000 (USD), failure to pay back at least half that amount may result in a year – long prison sentence.

Despite all this she is not alone and her friends are at her side when needed, following a statement from former band mate Wyclef Jean who despite the two having differences in the past following the Fugees split said “I definitely wish her the best, that’s absolutely a serious issue.

And once again, if she’s listening at the end of the day, my door is always open. You know I never closed my door to her, in the sense that if she ever needed anything I was never the one to block, because at the end of the day if anything ever happened to her, I would feel bad”

Lauryn herself has had her fair share of ups and downs but remained optimistic “Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment to launch a new label on which my new music will be released. And YES after a ten year plus battle, I am finally writing my new music”

Steven Spielberg’s Obama

Never let it be said that just because you’re the President of the United States, you can’t take the mickey out of yourself.

Following on from the recent White House Correspondents Dinner, Steven Spielberg has announced a new biopic centred on Obama, with the title character being played by none other than Daniel Day Lewis.

This is none other than Barack Obama playing Daniel Day Lewis playing Barack Obama but fair play to him, very nice touch.
