Rapper Ludacris took to the stage and performed in concert Friday night (Aug 6) in Los Angeles, California.

Lloyd hosted a B.E.D. Rock Edition party Friday night at Club B.E.D. in Miami Beach, FL. The R&B singer announced a few weeks ago via Twitter that he’s working on his fourth studio album, to be titled King of Hearts, however he didn’t mention a time frame for the project’s release.

Actor Columbus Short and actress/singer Adrienne Bailon hit up the Cosmopolitan Magazine summer Friday party at The Yard at Soho Grand in New York City.

Former “Stomp the Yard” star Columbus Short has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from a man who claims the actor, who also stars in the new movie “Death at a Funeral,” broke his jaw back in February in what he called a “Pearl Harbor style” assault. Jason Hill got the retstraining order yesterday, after telling the court Short beat him so badly he needed 2 surgeries to fix his broken jaw.

Hill claims he still fears for his safety — because after the alleged attack, Short and two other dudes rolled up to his North Hollywood residence on April 5 and threatened “acts of violence” against him (see surveillance video).

Short’s lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, tells TMZ the fight occurred while Hill and Short were playing pick-up basketball, and Hill struck the first blow.  As for the alleged April 5 threats, S.C.H. says Short went to the apartment complex to visit friends and never even saw Hill.

Actor Columbus Short is set to star in Sylvian White‘s latest film, The Losers, which is based on a DC Vertigo war comic book. Short admits to never having read the comic book before but has recently taken up the hobby. One would think that Short would be reluctant to take on a role such as this, but despite any short comings, Short puts all his faith and hope into the hands of White, claiming that Stomp The Yard was a clear demonstration of White’s talent and to expect big things seeing how this go round White has a big budget with Dark Castle Entertainment. Short played “DJ” in the 2007 film.

‘Losers’ centers around a Special Forces team, who are set up and betrayed by their enigmatic handler, Max, who soon discovers that you should never leave a bunch of black-ops commandos for dead. The Losers regroup for revenge, and to get their names off a pesky CIA death list. For issue after issue, they conducted covert operations against the CIA, and sought to uncover the plans and conspiracies of the powerful, secretive Max.

Actor Columbus Short recently sat down with EUR Web and discussed his role in the new movie, Cadillac Records. This is what he had to say about Obama’s historic win this past November in the 2008 Presidential Election.

It was emotional to see what the picture of the President-elect, the First Lady, and the First Family look like. The man who’s running our nation looks like me. It’s incredible. I never thought I’d see it, nor did my grandmother or great-grandmother. So, it was a very emotional moment, because even though we’re not in the Civil Rights era, it’s still not easy being a black man. And I hope that times will change in this business to the point where Don Cheadle can play a lead in movies without all the preconceived notions about Middle America not being ready for that. There are as many quality African-American actors and actresses as Caucasians, but it seems that they get a lot more opportunities. For instance, we supposedly can’t do period pieces, because we were slaves back in the day. Well, Obama’s win is changing the game, and Denzel or Laurence Fishburne ought to be able to play the president authentically.
