"Limitless" Tops Slow Weekend at the Box Office

On what was a slow stretch at the box office, "Limitless" ended up grabbing ahold of the top slot over the weekend of March 18-20, 2011.

According to early estimates, the Bradley Cooper spearheaded thriller about "a writer who discovers a top-secret drug which bestows him with super human abilities" beat out the competition with a total of $19 million in ticket sales.

Running in second was Johnny Depp's animated movie "Rango" - which made $15.5 million in its third week of release for a cumulative total of $92.7 million.

Rounding out the top five were "Battle: Los Angeles" ($14.5 million), "The Lincoln Lawyer" ($13.6 million) and "Paul" ($13.2 million).

Could Nicki Minaj Be Joining L.A. Reid On Simon Cowell's "X-Factor?"

So now that we announced LA Reid gave DEF JAM the Deuces, we have to wonder who else might join him on Simon Cowell's "X-Factor."  Get the deets on who may be heading to primetime inside...

 

Now that he has landed music honcho LA Reid as one of his judges for "X-Factor," we hear that Simon Cowell has a long list of celebs and music execs to possibly fill 3 more judge positions in hopes they will make his show jump off just like "American Idol."

One of the wild card selections is Nicki Minaj.  Nicki hasn't been in the game long enough to be considered an expert by any means, but her demographic is the show's target audience and we could count on her to be quirky and fun.  And though LA Reid holds it down in the area of expertise, some sources say Simon had been considering Tommy Mottola too. 

Other pop stars--well, semi-pop star--like Pussycat Dolls leader Nicole Scherzinger have been mentioned, along with British pop star Cheryl Cole.  And at various times, we've even heard Jessica Simpson brought up.  But my personal choice isn't much of a shocker...Paula Abdul.  AND her red cup.  Paula's CBS show was cancelled and I would love to see her with a new gig.  And everyone loves her and Simon together.   I hope her agent starts working that ish ASAP.

The show is searching for undiscovered talent 12 years old or over both solo artists and vocal groups who are willing to brave the panel for a chance to win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.

Auditions for the highly anticipated singing competition THE X FACTOR are set to begin on Sunday, March 27 in Los Angeles at the L.A. Sports Arena. The search for the next global superstar will continue in Miami, FL, on Thursday, April 7; Newark, NJ, on Thursday, April 14; Seattle, WA, on Wednesday, April 20; Chicago, IL, on Wednesday, April 27; and Dallas, TX, on Thursday, May 26.

So...who are your picks for judges?

SPOTTED: Swizz Beatz Goes KAMIKAZE For Brand New Reebok Campaign Shoot

After officially being named the "curator" of the Reebok Reestyle Collective, Swizz Beatz has lent designs, brand development campaigns, and his artistic voice to the brand.

 

We've got pics of him showing off his self-designed all black Reebok KAMIKAZEs as he heads into a new campagn shoot in L.A. yesterday when you read on...

That ring is serious!

At The Project Show in Las Vegas in February, Swizz announced his global partnership with Reebok and unveiled a light grey/ neon green colorway of the Kamikaze.

And you shoe freaks can see his all-black version he rocked while hitting up the closed set of his new Reebok campaign shoot at a massive warehouse in Los Angeles. 

The campaign that he is shooting now will launch later this year.  This dude is on his GRIND with a crapload of major new partnerships.

Reebok & Swizzy's statement about the partnership:

An entirely new platform for artists, musicians, dancers and style makers is coming. Prepare to create and collaborate like never before? A multi-talented creative known for pushing artistic boundaries as a producer, artist and designer, Swizz Beatz is bringing his passion for innovation, fashion, design, music and art to Reebok Classics.

In this unique partnership, Swizz Beatz will actively engage with the brand on many levels, from developing various initiatives to working with product.

His first role will be as the curator of the Reestyle Collective. A group of artistic minds from across the globe, the ReestyleCollective will conceive and produce a wide range of creative content in the realms of dance, music, art and style – the communities in which both Swizz Beatz and Reebok Classics thrive.

You feelin' it?
