Sasha Grey: Pics From Girlfriend Experience
I read an interesting article on Sasha Grey in the latest Rolling Stone. She may just be the first really extreme adult film star to crossover into mainstream media. She appeared in The Roots video for "Birthday Girl" before the release of Rising Down, and will soon see the release of Steven Soderbergh's feature film, The Girlfriend Experience. Grey and co. were keeping quiet about her exact appearance in the film, but pics from the set leaked earlier today. The first is up top, the second is below.

50 Cent Reissues Eminem's Debut LP
Eminem's first album, Infinite, was a largely out the trunk effort. The independent release hit the Detroit streets in 1996, and has gone heavily shrugged, as The Slim Shady LP was Eminem's first major label release, and is seen as his official entrance into the Hip Hop scene he would come to dominate soon after. His protege and Vitamin Water pioneer, 50 Cent, has reissued the album so to speak via his site, Thisis50.com. I peeped it and am republishing the link below. Check out Em's debut below.
Wyclef: "More Bottles" featuring Timbaland
"He's like more bottles, more bottles, but he don't know that the pirate's on arrival."
New solemn yet bumping club banger by Wyclef Jean, featuring and produced by Timbaland. Haunting keys accompained by Wyclef's lyrics of warning give this song a reggae enfused vibe of "laugh now, cry later", or, dare I say, "don't go out tonight, cause it's bound to be your last...there is a bad moon on the rise..." Download it below, and play this at your next bbq.
