‘The Intruder’ Overtakes ‘Long Shot,’ ‘UglyDolls;’
LOS ANGELES, CA – Ice Cube was a recent guest on ESPN’s The Jump where he pro- vided a few details on the up- coming Friday film, the fourth in the franchise. During the con- versation, he confirmed the script was complete and the powers that be are shooting for a 2020 release.
“Yeah, we pushing for it,” he said. “We finished the script, we are getting notes from the studio and it’s going back and forth. Get into pre-production and start hiring. It would be nice for this to come out on the 25th an- niversary. That would be kinda ... good.”
Cube teased the film on Twit- ter last month using one of the film’s signature catchphrases.
gotta say is... BYE, FELICIA. Do you want the next chapter??” Last June, Cube said the script was in the works but did- n’t provide any further informa- tion. However, it’s clear Chris Tucker’s involvement is still up in the air. Tucker, of course, played his partner-in-crime
Smokey.
Tucker addressed the topic
in another interview with ESPN’s The Plug.
“I don’t know. I talked to Cube about it,” he said. “He told me he was working on some stuff. And if it comes together right, I’m definitely gonna look at it and see if it works. ‘Cause I never say never ... I definitely want to check it out. If it works, it’s a possibility.”

Beyoncé And Jay-Z Have A Combined Net Worth Of $1.26 Billion
Music Festival This Summer
Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown And T. I.
Set To Perform At Atlanta's Tycoon
In 2018, Beyoncé's net worth was $355 million, and Jay-Z's was $900 million. Combined, the couple is worth a whopping $1.26 billion. As chart-topping musicians, of course they've made a lot of money through their hits, but they've also brought in millions through other entrepreneurial pursuits, making them one of the richest power couples in the world.
Their joint "On the Run II Tour" grossed $253.5 million, earning an average of $5.28 mil- lion per concert. In 2018, Bey- oncé headlined Coachella and was estimated to receive be- tween $8 million to $12 million for her performance. She then signed a $60 million deal with Netflix, which includes the doc- umentary "Homecoming," chronicling her preparation for Coachella. "Homecoming" was released on April 17, 2019.
Beyoncé's fortune doesn't just come from performing. In 2010, she launched a fragrance called Heat. It made $75,000 in its first day and $400 million overall. 2015 saw the launch of her vegan meal-delivery service, and the following year, she launched her Ivy Park clothing line. And like most celebrities, Beyoncé has made a lot of money through endorsements. To name a few: Tommy Hilfiger, L'Oréal, American Express, and Pepsi.
Beyoncé also has a stake in Jay-Z's music-streaming com- pany, Tidal. Mr. Carter bought the company in 2015 for $56
has his own brand of cognac, D'USSÉ.
Jay-Z was an early investor in Uber in 2011, and he started his own venture capital fund called Marcy Venture Partners last year. He also had a stake in the Brooklyn Nets, which he wrote was "never about the in- vestment; it was about the Nets and Brooklyn." His share was es- timated at $350,000 when he sold it due to conflict of interest with Roc Nation Sports.
So how do they spend all that money? One way they spend it is on real estate. Some of their homes include this house in the Hamptons, this converted church in New Orleans, and an $88 million mansion in Bel Air, California. Beyoncé and Jay-Z also spend money on their fam- ily. Beyoncé reportedly bought a $5.9 million house for her mother in Houston. The couple is also said to have spent more than $80,000 on matching gold cribs for their twins, and they bought an $11,000 dress for their other daughter, Blue Ivy, to wear to the MTV Video Music Awards.
They spend money on things like courtside basketball tickets, expensive restaurants, nice clothes, jewelry, and gifts for each other. Beyoncé once bought Jay-Z a $40 million pri- vate jet for Father's Day. But Be- yoncé and Jay-Z don't just spend their money on lavish homes, gifts, and vacations. They also put some of it toward charity.

million, but its value increased when Sprint bought a third of the company in early 2017. It's now worth $600 million. Jay- Z's albums and live tours have brought in millions of dollars over his 30-year rap career.
The most money he made from a solo tour was in 2017 during his "4:44 Tour," which netted $48.7 million. That same year, Jay-Z signed a 10-year deal with Live Nation for $200 million. Live Nation owns Jay- Z's entertainment label, called Roc Nation, a big source of his income. Roc Nation represents musical artists and athletes. In 1999, he cofounded the clothing company Rocawear, which he then sold in 2007 for $204 mil- lion. He reportedly has a stake in Armand de Brignac, a company that makes $300 Champagne nicknamed "Ace of Spades," and
Chris Brown Praises Justin
Bieber For Michael
Jackson/2Pac Comparison
Justin Bieber's ruffled a few feathers over the past few days. The rapper made a bold move this week -- one that would later leave him "crippled with anxiety" -- after calling out Eminem for dissing some of the younger rappers in the game such as Lil Xan and Lil Pump.
In wake of Chvrches com- ments towards Marshmello's decision to work with the "Pri- vacy" singer, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to make a bold claim about Chris Brown which ruffled a few feathers but clearly, resonated with the Vir- ginia native.
Chris Brown appreciates the sentiment.
