Lil Kim and Cyndi Lauper // Mandela Day 46664 Celebration Concert

In a move that surprised damn near everyone, Lil Kim and Cyndi Lauper performed “Time After Time” on stage together Saturday night (Jul 18) at the Mandela Day 46664 Celebration Concert … and Lil Kim sang! Albeit, Kim didn’t do very well with her vocals but we give her credit for being bold enough to do something like that in front of so many people. With a little more confidence and some vocal training, homegirl might be able to carry a little tune!

Alicia Keys, Will.i.am, Aretha Franklin and more also helped Nelson Mandela celebrate his 91st birthday at the annual 46664 event, which was held this year at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Continue reading for more pics and for the video of Kim performing.

50 Cent for KING Magazine

It’s being reported that rapper 50 Cent has replaced legendary actor Forest Whitaker in Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming all-star cast film “The Expendables.” Whitaker reportedly had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

According to Sly’s letter sent to AintItCool.com, though there are some who are displeased over 50 Cent’s taking over the role, he’s sticking with the decision. He wrote, “Trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one.”

“Nobody wanted Eric Roberts over Ben Kingsley, but I believe it’s a vastly improved cast. The point is, you either believe in me and the project, setting your personal feelings aside, or you take a darker approach, which really serves no purpose since your insight and suggestions and overall are a great thrill for me to behold everyday I sign on.”
