Terrence Howard Repays $200 Debt To Petey Pablo
T-Pain To Release New
Tyrese And Taraji Reunited, This Time On ‘Empire’
Tyrese and Taraji played lovers, Jody and Yvette in the movie ‘Baby Boy’. Tyrese will play Tariji’s love interest on Empire.
Tyrese joked.
Empire’s Terrance Howard and Rapper, Petey Pablo.
Terrence Howard isn’t one to forget an act of kindness.
Rapper Petey Pablo ap- peared alongside Howard on “Empire” last week as Lu- cious Lyon’s prison friend, but the unlikely acting gig was a decade in the making.
Howard encountered the “Freek-A-Leek” rapper at the 2005 premiere of “Hustle & Flow,” but apparently lost his wallet before the event, ac- cording to Raleigh’s WRAL.
Pablo — realizing Howard needed some cash — loaned Howard $200 out of his own pocket. A decade later, the “Empire” star thanked Pablo for his generosity by offering him the opportunity to appear on the hit show, with a re- ported paycheck of $15,000.
Since North Carolina native Pablo has flexed his acting chops, he’s not about to sit back and relax without proving his willingness to con- tinue working hard on-screen.
T-PAIN
After much ado and waiting (four years to be exact), T-Pain has finally revealed the release date of his fifth album Sto- icville: The Phoenix.
He tweeted the news to his followers: “December 11th Sto- icville: The Phoenix rises!!! Taking you to new levels of T- Pain...one banger at a time!” he wrote.
The Tallahassee bred, auto- tune-loving singer/producer released many buzz and proper singles, including " Make That Sh*t Work” featuring Juicy J and the Jagged Edge-sam- pled “Roof On Fye.”

The Game Has Star-Studded Collaborations On 2-Part Album ‘Documentary 2 And ‘2.5’
The Fresh Prince is getting jiggy again.
Will Smith has returned to music after a ten year hiatus. The Oscar nominee, who turned 47 last week, has re- leased a remix of the Colom- bian dance group Bomba Estéreo's song, Fiesta.
The rapper turned movie star reportedly first heard the catchy 'electro tropical' tune while on a recent trip to Colombia, and approached the band to see if they wanted to do a collaboration.
Rumors of a potential link- up first sparked when he posted a picture with them on his Facebook page last month, shortly after they landed a

Family Feud Under Fire Over Sexually-Charged Answers
Game on cover of Documentary 2.5
What ever happened to fam- ily-friendly TV?
“Family Feud” fans are de- manding changes to survey questions after contestants gave one too many raunchy answers.
Last week, host Steve Har- vey prompted a contestant to "name the first part of a woman you touch to get her in the mood."
Before getting a high-five approval from Harvey, the man added, "I didn't want to say it."
When Harvey asked another contestant on a previous show to name "the last thing you stuck your finger in," the player responded with "my wife," leaving viewers of the show annoyed with the contin- ual sexual path the family game show has taken.
YouTube clips of the shock- ing answers were posted on the “Family Feud” channel and each received more than 800,000 views.
The host of Family Feud, Steve Harvey.
The comments under the videos made it clear fans were not too pleased. But since Harvey took over as host of the show in 2010, ratings have surged — beating both “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy” on a regular basis. Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture of the Media Research Center, told FOX11 the racy comments are simply a result of sexual content becoming more acceptable on television.
The Game has consistently put out platinum albums. He also consistently gives back to the community with his $1,000 giveaways.
For this The Documentary 2, the Game has assembled an all-star line-up that rivals the original down to a return to the studio with his mentor Dr. Dre. The Game’s lengthy list of collaborators include sev-
eral legends solidifying his place in the West Coast Mt. Rushmore of Hip-Hop. Fea- tures on the project include Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Diddy, Drake, Future, DJ Pre- mier, Will.i.am, Mike Will, Cool and Dre, AB Soul, Jelly Roll, Dej Loaf , Nas, Lil Wayne and YG.
