50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time: Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg, ‘Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang’

“They’ve incorporated the journey of my own personal reincarnation as Snoop Lion into my character – the environments and the path that players have to follow,” said Snoop in a statement reported by The Guardian. “It’s not just about who you are or where you’ve been but where you are headed to.”

U.K. game studios Echo Peak and 505 Games are leading the project, and are targeting an April 23rd release on Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, iOS and Android. “The idea of creating an original game concept around [Snoop's] music and love of Seventies kung-fu and blaxploitation movies was a mouthwatering prospect,” said Echo Peak’s Ciaran Walsh.

Snoop’s first album as Snoop Lion, Reincarnated, will be out April 23rd. He has previously appeared in a few video games, including the fighting game Tekken Tag Tournament 2 last year. Snoop’s documentary Reincarnated, which also tracks his journey into reggae music, will be out March 15th. He’ll be playing the Ultra Music Festival in March.

What is the difference between seeing the Prince Harry in chopped-ball though: covering his manhood with his hands and with a star located strategically on the picture to hide the princely-year and see the nipples to air his sister Kate? Why the publication of the first pictures caused much uproar in the British Isles, but little else, and the latter have made the royal family prompted the cover of French Justice?

Differences are few, and many, depending how you look. The two have committed the same sin of naivete. He, to get within range of mobile at a party rather feral in which not all participants were legit. She, telephoto shot made on a terrace that was far enough away from the ordinary human eye, but close enough eye of journalism . Both had every right in the world to do what they did, but they both have avoided an upset if they did otherwise.

Differences. Some may have an influence on, or difficult to measure, such as the fact that Henry and Catherine is a man, a woman. Others may have a more significant role: that of him were taken in Las Vegas and hers, in Provence. More importance may be given to the fact that although it is not of royal blood, one day be Queen Catherine and Henry will not be king, unless unexpected setbacks. The honor of a queen, even if it is political kinship, not by dynastic inheritance, honor is above a mere prince was not expected to reach the throne.

Far more significant than that is the fact that Kate’s husband, Prince William, second in line of succession to the British throne, afraid that this violation of the privacy of the couple end up taking his wife by the ordeal of harassment media who suffered his own mother, Princess Diana of Wales . That would be enough to explain the different attitude taken by the Windsor to the two cases.

But it would be an incomplete explanation. Another aspect worth taking into account when analyzing the reaction of both the royal family and the British media. For Windsor is not the same to defend the right of Prince Henry to celebrate private orgies in a suite in Las Vegas to defend the right to take off her bra Catalina while sunbathing believing themselves safe from prying eyes in a Provencal castle Viscount Linley , nephew of Queen Elizabeth II.

In the same vein, the British public and the press feel less need to defend Henry, which many tend to see as being a military desbravando Between missions in Afghanistan , that of defending the weak against the threat Kate of the paparazzi. That or, rather, the fear that the public was thrown against the newspaper could explain exactly why The Sun at the time dared to publish photos of Enrique (almost) naked, but no one has dared to publish the Kate’s nipples.

That may seem anecdotal detail, but it is of paramount importance when analyzing the debate on the right to privacy and the right to freedom of the press which is linked to the publication of these photos and accompanying British media from decades and, more than ever, since in July 2011 broke the crisis of illegal wiretapping of News of the World .

What made the newspaper The Sun to publish photos of Enrique not preserve the right of his readers not to be deprived of that information, as the paper said, but to preserve their business interests to create controversy to boost sales. And if not now Kate has published is not out of respect for the privacy of the princess, but to avoid retaliation from an audience sensitive to the excesses of the tabloids in general and the Murdoch press in particular.

Hypocrisy has now shown The Sun fleet also about the debate on the right to privacy and the right to freedom of the press. Hypocrisy on both sides, of course. The right to privacy and private life is not only essential, but it affects us all. All of a sudden we lose our privacy, but now our personal life does not interest anyone.

But the practice of journalism condition to the obligation to respect the right to privacy could cause as much damage as it tries to limit: could end up in a row with investigative journalism, where the journalist is often camouflaged for better access objective. For example, it is not violating the privacy of a player to prove who is unfaithful to his wife than to show that a politician is corrupt or of an employer to prove that the Treasury is failing.

That’s why the debate is so complex and so the British still do not know if they want to continue with self-regulation that has been imposed the press since the early nineties or the Government should legislate to make more explicit the conditions under which prevails right to privacy and the conditions prevailing the right to freedom of information and expression.

The French courts decided today to ban gossip magazine Closerrepublication, diffusion and transfer to third parties of photographs of Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, who was portrayed without the bikini top during a recent break in a home in southern France. The court in Nanterre, near Paris, has taken on the request of counsel for the British royal couple, who requested urgent kidnapping and supports all of the 15 photographs that appeared Friday in Closer. has also imposed an obligation magazine images back to the couple within 24 hours, subject to a fine of 10,000 euros for each day of delay.

The court’s decision did not prevent the Duchess images also appeared on Monday in Italian magazine Chi, which as Closer Mondadori publishing group belongs to, property tycoon and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Interestingly, Berlusconi sued in 2009 to criminal Sardinian photographer Antonello Zappadu, who took dozens of photographs of hundreds veteran politician accompanied by young dancers at his home in Villa Certosa, which published some of the country-diary against Berlusconi never exercised criminal actions.

William, elder son of Prince Charles and the late Diana Spencer, and his wife, Kate, presented Monday a second lawsuit, this criminal, by intrusion of privacy, and French justice Tuesday opened a preliminary investigation, which lead a longer process which require “damages” as said Sunday services the home of British prince.

This second lawsuit is directed against or photographers who took the pictures, but also against the French magazine. The British press is actively seeking authors of the photos.

The lawyer Closer , Delphine Pando, had asked the judge not to admit the claims and denounced the “huge contempt” that involves civil lawsuit regarding ownership of some pictures “whose rights belong to the photographer or his agency, and only yield to the magazine for a while so that the edit “.

In the Internet age, that the French courts to achieve international curb Photo republication not going to be easy. On Saturday, an Irish newspaper, the Irish Daily Star , reproduced images of Closer . On Monday, the chief editor was fired.

Spike Lee has felt indispensable friendship with Michael Jackson, that someone was hilarious, with a dazzling sense of humor. There are good reasons for Lee, the director so critical, scathing and struggled for most of his career irregular demonstrate that racial tensions still enjoy underground transparent or health in the U.S., will take a long documentary on a musician and dancer exceptional. The problem for the audience that does not conform with the evidence that Jackson was great in his records and in their performances is that he will know little more than what was offered his public image and artistic dispensable to see this documentary. Will attend a hagiography in which all have the innermost and wonderful it was Jackson, which earned him the honor to work alongside, the inconsolable sadness that caused his death. But at no time Spike Lee tries to dive into the tortured personality and unmistakable dark side of that black gentleman engaged her skin was white, in the convulsions that had to suffer his troubled existence. At some point, collaborators and friends featured in this documentary reveals that due to the silence of Jackson to the media, these were invented legends about his angel perverse. It’s too easy and evasive show only the front of Jackson.

The apparent reason for Spike Lee approach his late friend is the 25th anniversary of that masterful album called Bad . People appears as venerable as Scorsese, author of a memorable music video promoting that album, also speak of the priceless work of Quincy Jones as producer, and concerts are offered legendary Jackson on tour. And, of course, the creator of the unforgettable Thriller and Bad , the supposed or real king of pop, hypnotizes you when he gets to sing and dance.Much less when speaking. But at the end of Bad 25 I have the feeling that I know so little about Michael Jackson as before. I do not know if the approach and attitude of Spike Lee to make this portrait understandable responds only to easements of friendship or laziness.

The most avant-garde festivals they crave to make its programming included films by Austrian director Ulrich Seidl. And a significant part of the public-art of laughter with the occurrences and style of this professional sordidness of this cruel and miserable portrait of depressed and sickly people close to psychopathy. He, who is so naturalistic, should find very transgressive show in all his films unsimulated sex between men and women seniors, adipose, feuding with modesty, without which there is nothing attractive in them to watch or listen. Havens is a trilogy in which Seidl tells what they do certain characters on your vacation. The first part, shown at the Cannes Film Festival, described the erotic adventures of Western women and they will rent sesentonas native young meat in Africa. In the second, I just suffer in the Mostra, the director has decided not to move from Austria to describe what is the paradise of his demented protagonist during your vacation. This pathetic and tared religious fundamentalist is dedicated to visit homes of strangers trying to affiliate them to the Catholic faith as redeem their sins. The rest of his time is spent whipping the body, to wear sackcloth, to skinned knees crawling on the floor, to flirt endlessly with her beloved Jesus Christ, to join his colleagues for religious songs and prayers to the Lord. I do not know where lies the interest or the grace of displaying mental ravings of this poor woman.

Seidl uses his usual leaden language to show the hopes and fears of this character grotesque and pitiable. And I wonder what can happen to the director in the third part of his trilogy about the holidays. I suspect that neither Sacred professional obligation is going to impose their vision. I’m not masochistic or sadistic. My responsibilities as a chronicler of cinema have a limit.

Compared with the plot of Paradises , the film at any price , directed by Ramin Bahrani, is an oasis, but this story of classic and modern farmers, confinement between a father who works the land and a son who just wants to devote motorbikes, not encourage anyone to launch rockets.The best thing about it is the interpretation of Dennis Quaid, an actor who is aging very well.

If the first Donostia announced for the 60th edition of the festival of San Sebastián was for a young actor but with a curriculum unbeatable, Ewan McGregor , the second award for lifetime achievement will be for Tommy Lee Jones , interpreter veteran tight and broad curriculum .

Born in the town of San Saba Texas in 1946, Jones worked with his father in the oil fields, before studying at St. Mark School of Texas and Harvard University, where he graduated cum laude in English Studies. There he roomed with the former vice president of the United States, Al Gore, and was on the football team.

After completing the University decided to go to New York to do theater has never attended acting classes and managed to debut on stage in 1969. A year later he got his first film, Love Story (1970), kick-started an endless race. During the seventies he combined much theater with television, and in 1980 he got his first nomination for a Golden Globe with Miner . But in 1988, Stormy Monday, when they start the golden years of Tommy Lee Jones: The Hunt for Red Wolf (1989), JFK (1991), Under Siege (1992), The Fugitive (1993), The Heaven and Earth (1993), The Client (1994), born Murderers (1994), Batman Forever (1995), black men (1997), U.S. Marshals (1998), Double Jeopardy (1999), Rules of Engagement (2000 ), Space Cowboys (2000), Men in black II (2002), Dam (2003), In the Valley of Elah (2007), No Country for Old Men (2007) , In the center of the storm (2009), The Company Men (2010) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

Jones earned his first Oscar nomination for his side as Clay Shaw in JFK, and won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for The Fugitive (1994). With In the Valley of Elah scored his third selection to the awards Academy Award, this time as the protagonist.

The Texan has managed to mix a career in commercial paper (still fresh the premiere of Men in Black III ), with independent film. In recent months he has participated in Lincoln , Steven Spielberg, The emperor , Peter Webber, where Gen. Douglas MacArthur embodies. In San Sebastián will screen If you really want … a romantic comedy that co-stars with Meryl Streep.

As director Jones debuted on television in 1995 with a critically acclaimed television movie, the adaptation of the novel by Elmer Kenton The Good Old Boys , which he starred opposite Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepard, Frances McDormand and Matt Damon. In film in 2005 directed, produced and starred in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada ) which won the Best Actor Award at Cannes. He recently directed for HBO’s telefilm The Sunset Limited (2011), also starring him and Samuel L. Jackson and based on a play by Cormac McCarthy.

His unmistakable face (other than Walter Mathau appear to contain on their face Mount Rushmore), his sarcasm in all kinds of characters, but it looks much more in the military or security forces member and strength make him one of the big cinema. Will receive the Donostia Award on 28. By the way, Jones was born the same day as his friend Oliver Stone, who will receive special Donostia San Sebastián the 60th anniversary .

The presenter of the U.S. program called as herself, Oprah Winfrey is the celebrity world’s highest paid according to the magazine Forbes , with $ 165 million in your bank account (131,500 million euros). Followers director of Transformers: Dark of the Moon , Michael Bay, with five million dollars less than the TV star, and for blockbusters such as ET or Jurassic Park , Steven Spielberg, with $ 130 million (103,500 million euros ).

For the fourth consecutive year, at 58 years old, the host and producer not only the top of the list, but is the only woman among the ten situated entertainment personalities on the planet with more money. But this is not the only list on which the name of the presenter is among the first, in fact Winfrey is considered by the magazine as the 11th most powerful woman in the world. This list is headed for the second consecutive year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Although his show bypasses its best, the truth is that everything he touches turns to gold Winfrey. At a time when the media are in the doldrums, its presence on shows like Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray or Dr. Oz Show, has made the chain that issues them, OWN, improve its results last year. In addition, she is an entrepreneur, has a magazine, O , a radio station, the same production company Harpo and television network that broadcasts its program-OWN are your initials.

After the queen of U.S. television, stands Michael Bay . The director, a relative newcomer to the top of Hollywood, has amassed $ 160 million between May 2011 and May 2012, and all he owes to his latest film, with bad reviews, but a hit with the public. According to Forbes , the millions got this film in theaters and through its merchandising .

Steven Spielberg , whose fame came decades-famous film alien ET is 1975 – this last year directed two films, Warhorse and The Adventures of Tintin. Both were nominated for Oscars.

The list, which does not show any Spanish name, the swell celebrities such as actor Tom Cruise or the golfer Tiger Woods .

It breathes some antisocial climate on Wall Street, with Facebook as a catalyst. Because now it’s hot in the New York park is to question the social networking business, the same as a few months ago would revolutionize the way people communicate and make money online. The turnaround has been 180 degrees and reaches the point that there are days that the social network founded by Mark Zuckerberg stars in her own miniflash crash or sudden collapse in the stock market.

Facebook is like a religion, and survival needs its believers have faith. This applies to both investors and users and employees. But if, by its sheer size, its fate touches the lives of nearly 1,000 million people. So in Wall Street was given its premiere at the market more attention to the use of placement.

The new minimum price of the stock is now $ 18.75, less than half the price of output in the operation that was sold as the most anticipated since Google placement . And it is still far from reaching $ 45 within seconds of starting his career on the trading floor that chaotic morning of May 18 on the Nasdaq, including computer glitches.

There are two reasons for the collapse of Facebook and could be extended to the case of Zynga, Groupon and Pandora , the other newly released dotcom listed below the value of its release. The first is related to its current business model and the margin that has to keep growing. The second, with the number of shares circulating in a market with so little demand.

Numbers fueling pessimism

The numbers are there, and do nothing but feed the pessimism. Facebook filed on July 26 the first results from publicly traded, which yielded a loss of $ 157 million in the second quarter compared with a profit of 240 million a year earlier. Revenues were $ 1,180 million, up 32% from the previous year and above the 1,060 million in the first quarter. This gap is due to spend more to grow.

Zynga is the leading member of Facebook. The social game maker went public in December at $ 10 a share. The first day and fell 5%. Achieved after touching $ 16. But the dotcom shares are now 60% below its initial value. As Facebook, had losses ($ 22.8 million in the second quarter), but if sales fell 20% in the same period, to 332 million. Zynga users-or rather, customer-spend less and less money in platform games. And that’s not good either for Facebook, because 12% of revenue will come in this way. In short: the first results of listed companies both as have not lived up to expectations.

The worst rank among tech companies that have gone public is Groupon . It opened a month before Zynga, at 20 dollars a share. Rose 31% on a very promising first day, which marked its maximum. Now the same action is paid 80% below the value of the initial offer. They put some hope in its second quarter results, expecting a rebound, but it never came.

The Portal offers consumption rose by 45% its sales compared to the same period in 2011, to 568 million. That earned him a profit of 28 million, compared with a loss of 107 million a year earlier. Wall Street expected more. And there are details in their accounts of concern, because they show that the business performance is moderated beyond the effect of the crisis in Europe.

Pandora recently debuted more than a year to $ 16 and managed to rebound by 60% in the early hours. Shares not now reach $ 10. The Internet radio service was to present results Friday at the close of Wall Street. In his case, as in that of Spotify or Rhapsody, the more it grows its user base, more must pay royalties to artists and record labels each time you play the song.

A complexity when mature will understand how the business model of these emerging companies adds to the ban on selling stocks weighing on some employees and shareholders. The last bump of Facebook coincided, in fact, with the release of 271 million shares, which were added to the 421 million already in circulation. That is, the supply suddenly grew by 60%, at a time of great uncertainty.

When employees sell their shares

More expirations planned for October, November and December 2012 and May 2013. The lesson of the effects of the law of supply and demand applies to crudely Groupon and Zynga, which took weeks ago 600 to 300 million new shares to the market. So in the Morningstar fund manager advising clients caution until the plans are implemented.

These restrictions are set precisely to avoid an avalanche of titles that depresses the initial value of the offer. Facebook will place before the end of the year more than 1,300 million shares, although most will be circulating in mid-November. As indicated from Citigroup, then the flow of titles will have grown by 280% since its inception.

Among those who chose to exercise the right to sell their shares is Peter Thiel, one of the early backers of the social network. The message sent was very negative for the small investor, because almost everything off of your capital without losing his seat on the board of directors. They can also do it from and Goldman Sachs, Microsoft and other original investors.

The completely lost faith is Marc Andreessen, creator of the legendary browser Netscape , one early investors who believed in Groupon. Andreessen sold its shares up around the first limitation, in June, when he could still make a profit. Analysts agree in stating that the dotcom Chicago would never have both but for Andreessen’s bet, he shot his private market valuation before going public.

So did Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks and another who bet at the time by Groupon. Schultz advised to avoid jumping to the park because the company was not prepared to withstand market pressure. Just do it, Schultz announced he was leaving the post he held in the directory. It was not the only one who noticed the CEO, Andrew Mason.

Facebook and Groupon and Zynga need, therefore, to jump on stage with something to compensate for the negative effect of the release of new shares. Therefore, it is assumed in the park that the volatility seen in recent weeks will be repeated over the coming months. The case of these four technologies will be taken into account in the event that other companies like Twitter opting to make the leap to Wall Street.

The influence of media coverage

Other analysts point to a third factor behind the poor performance of these values: the negativity in media coverage. And in this case point to the exception of LinkedIn. The portal of professional contacts went public in May last year at 45 dollars a share. Which was his way on the floor between the dotcom social group. Almost doubled in price in the first day and came close to triple before the release of Facebook.

LinkedIn not only depend on the income generated by advertising. They also charge a more exclusive service, so analysts believe that to grow, Facebook and Zynga should find the model that allows them to go beyond free. It is a similar challenge to that encountered by traditional media.

Yelp is also managing to stay above the initial bid price, $ 15, and even managed to bend. But after the fiasco of Facebook, lost that level a few days, but just barely. The latest addition to the group was Kayak, two months after Facebook. I made $ 26, topped $ 35 and now struggling to stay above the output value.

The question now is whether the minimum set by Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and Pandora now represent background or is simply another step down. What seems clear, for now, is that there is another bubble burst. It looks more like a deflated, because these companies are able to at least generate revenue to sustain the business.

Where is the bottom?

Capstone analysts believe that $ 19 represents “an attractive entry point” on Facebook. George Soros, one of the biggest speculators in Wall Street history, is among those concerned. Just integrate the dotcom in your investment portfolio, as have also Steve Cohen and John Thaler, while Chase Coleman has strengthened its positions. It has also bought shares Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix. In your case, it is also a board member of the social network. It is true that Facebook does not give profit forecasts for the second half or details on progress to boost revenue, especially in the mobile segment. But, by their position, Hastings is among the few who know what’s cooking between racks.

Analysts at North Star Investment Management is posed in this way: $ 20 is a psychological level at which the investor who does not like the initial offer can consider now an opportunity, because the value of the company is closer to reality. But, as indicated from Capstone, what counts is how fast in the advertising business.

In the short term, Facebook continues to be under pressure because a value is not expected to be launching a new product that redefines the way in which you make money and remove market share from Google. And as they say on the floor, by its very nature the Internet is a universe in constant and relentless change. And what is true today may not work in six months. So the dotcoms are always a gamble.

We’re told Harry, along with a large entourage, went down to the hotel bar and met a bunch of hot chicks … and invited them up to his VIP suite.

Once in the room, things got WILD … with the group playing a game of strip pool that quickly escalated into full-on royal nudity.

Some of the partiers snapped photos of the madness. In one photo, a fully nude Harry cups his genitals while a seemingly topless woman stands behind him.

In another photo, a naked Harry is bear-hugging a woman who appears to be completely naked as well.

No word on who the women are … or if they got Harry’s phone number.

A rep for the Royal Family tells us, “We have no comment to make on the photos at this time.”

Zuckerberg, 28, and Priscilla Chan, 27, married Saturday in a small ceremony in the backyard of their home in Palo Alto, Calif.

The wealthy CEO went on the less traditional path and designed a simple ruby ring for Chan himself. The new bride flaunted her ring for her friends during a lunch date in Palo Alto Wednesday.

Despite his wealth increasing to $19 billion after Facebook went public Friday, Zuckerberg didn’t spend a fortune on the ring. According to the Daily Mail, one expert estimated Chan’s ring to cost $25,000. To compare, Angelina Jolie‘s recent engagement ring from Brad Pitt – which he designed with jeweler Robert Procop using “a diamond of the finest quality” — was worth an estimated $500,000.

PHOTOS: Blingiest engagement rings ever

For fans who like the ruby ring, Royal Asscher is offering a version of Chan’s bauble. A ruby represents passion and love and can be considered a sign of wisdom.

Low price tag or not, Chan joined other high-profile brides-to-be who’ve sported colorful engagement rings. Carrie Underwood received a yellow diamond from her husband Mike Fisher and Kate Middleton wears the late Princess Diana‘s stunning sapphire and diamond ring.
