  • Mo’Nique Wins Best Supporting Actress Oscar For “Precious;” Becomes Fifth Black Woman To Pick Up An Oscar

    Mo’Nique became only the fifth woman in history to win an Academy Award for acting after accepting the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of horribly abusive ’80s welfare mother Mary Jones in Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire at the 82nd Academy Awards on Sunday.

    The 42-year-old comedienne took a break from her usual role as a comedienne to portray Jones alongside acting newcomer Gabourey Sidibe in the urban drama about a young woman fighting for a better life. Mo’Nique was the overwhelming favorite for the prize after having racked up supporting actress wins at the Golden Globes, Spirit Awards, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.

    Mo’Nique accepted her statuette to a standing ovation.

    “I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics,” she said with emotion as she took the stage. The actress had made headlines for not taking an active enough role in promoting the film.

    In the supporting actress category, the only other Black Academy Award winners were Hattie McDaniel as “Mammy” in Gone With The Wind (1939), Jennifer Hudson for Dreamgirls (2006), and Whoopi Goldberg for Ghost (1990). Halle Berry is the only black Oscar winner in the best actress category, earning the honor for 2001’s Monster’s Ball.

    Precious also claimed the prize for Best Adapted Screenplay.

  • J-Kwon Missing

    St. Louis-based rapper J-Kwon — best remembered for his 2004 club anthem “Tipsy” — has been missing for almost a month, according to his label. J-Kwon, who was dropped from Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def imprint several years ago, is now recording with independent label Gracie Production, who is asking for help finding the young emcee.

    “J-Kwon is a big part of the Gracie family, and we are obviously increasingly worried and want to make sure he is OK,” Gracie Productions CEO/President Tony Bucher said in a statement Tuesday. “We’ve already received thousands of e-mails from fans and supporters who are worried about J-Kwon, and we want everyone to know how much we appreciate the love and support. If anyone has seen J-Kwon or has access to him, please let him know we are worried about him, and to please let us know everything is ok.”

    According to a rep for Gracie Productions, the “Hood Hop” star was working on a self-titled fourth album to be released on March 23 when he mysteriously disappeared. Bucher and Gracie Productions have set up a Twitter page (@WhereIsJKwon) allowing fans to write in with any information they may have.

  • DMX Performing At Church Fundraiser

    DMX is barking for the Lord. The often incarcerated X is praising the Man Upstairs by headlining a “gospel rap extravaganza” at his church in Glendale, Arizona.

    The rapper, born Earl Simmons, is scheduled to take the stage at the Morning Star Sanctified Church, where he and his family have been members for the past eight months. DMX wanted to participate in the event to raise money for building repairs, says Pastor Barbara King.

    Tickets for the show, which he’s doing for free, range from $35-$40. Event organizers are “ amping up security because they’re unsure of what kind of crowd the convicted felon will draw,” according to TMZ.com.

  • WalMart Under Fire for Promoting Gangsta Rap During Black History Month

    Filed under: Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop News, Busted, Movies


    WalMart has come under attack for its inclusion of hip-hop-related films in promotional displays celebrating February's Black History Month.

    The retail giant chose to feature DVD titles like Ice Cube's 'The Player's Club' and 'Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel,' but rejected 'For Love of Liberty: The Story of America's Patriots,' a four-hour mini-series documentary by Frank Martin which examines the sacrifice and heroism of black service men and women throughout American history.

    The PBS mini-series, which took Martin ten years to finish, features a star studded cast, including John Travolta, Danny Glover, Colin Powell, Angela Bassett, Susan Sarandon and Morgan Freeman, and is hosted by Halle Berry.

  • Kid N’ Play Perform On “The Mo’Nique Show” [VIDEO]

    Kid N’ Play performed their 1990 breakout hit “Rollin’ With Kid N’ Play” on The Mo’Nique Show this week. That song still single-handly trumps half the songs on the hip-hop charts today — but the brothers are looking a little broke. Damn, rap needs a 401 K and a dental plan!
