Bow Wow Retires From Music Aged 22!


American Rapper Bow Wow is set to retire from the music industry at the tender age of 22 as he wants to focus on his acting career instead. He told Contactmusic, "This is my last album because for me, there's no more that needs to be done on the music side, I've done everything."

Although Bow Wow (formerly Lil' Bow Wow) has not been well known in the UK (only Top 20 single 'Like You' charted at #17 in March 2006), he has been very successful in the US where all six studio albums have been well received. The young rapper hit the headlines long before his first album at the age of thirteen, Dr Dre had signed him up at the age of seven and Bow Wow also performed with Snoop Dogg.

Recently Bow Wow has been busy with his acting career and was featured on Entourage as Charlie an up and coming comedian, he has a part in Hurricane Season due for cinema release this year. Not bad for a 22 year-old - enjoy your retirement Bow Wow!

BBC Broadcast Unedited Christian Bale Rant

Christian Bale has become an internet sensation this week after his rant containing 35 swear words made it online. Yet bosses at the BBC's Breakfast Show were left red faced as an UNEDITED version of the clip was broadcast just before 7am. The tape was cut after a few seconds, as a shriek was heard in the studio once the F word went out live.

BBC presenter Susanna Reid quickly said, "An enormous apology. That was definitely supposed to be edited." That didn't stop over 50 viewers ringing in to complain. The rant made on the set of Terminator 4 last summer, has been turned into a remix by producer Revolucian.

WARNING: The video below contains a shit load of swear words:

Star Trek Video Trailer and Pictures

Star Trek just got sexy if the new trailer video and pictures are to be believed. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) gets his kit off for some steamy action with Uhura (Zoe Saldana), as seen below. The trailer gives the sci-fi series a much needed sexy make-over, with a new younger cast and plenty of action and adventure.

Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto) is a central storyline as we follow him on his journey to the Starship Enterprise. Original Spock, Leonard Nimoy also appears in the movie which is expected to hit UK cinema screens on May 8th 2009.
