Martin Lawrence Interview, Welcome Home Roscoe
Q: Would you tell us your ultimate party song?
MARTIN LAWRENCE: My ultimate party song? Let me see. [Starts singing] ‘My girl wants to fight all the time, party all the time.’ [Normal voice] Nah, I don’t know. I don’t know which one it is. [Laughs] How do you pull that one off? I don’t know what my party…might be a Michael Jackson song ‘cause Michael got a few of them. So it might be a Michael Jackson ‘Billy Jean,’ ‘Beat It’ or something. It might be something like that.

Romanek Will Not Direct Wolf Man Remake
Director Mark Romanek has dropped out of the Universal horror film “The Wolf Man,” just weeks before filming was scheduled to star.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the issue was a financial one – Romanek asked for additional money to make the film, while the studio kept its ground on its intention to remain within the $100 million range.
Romanek started out as a music video director, working with artists such as Audioslave, Michael Jackson, Nine Inch Nails, Fiona Apple and Jay-Z.

Hutchinson brings his blue-eyed soul to Rams Head Live
Eric Hutchinson's real big break came after he thought he had already gotten it.
About three years ago, the pop singer-songwriter-musician was signed to Maverick Records, the Warner Bros.-distributed label partly founded by Madonna, whose roster included the likes of Alanis Morrissette and Michelle Branch. But just as Hutchinson was about to begin work on his major-label debut, Maverick shut down. The Takoma Park native was back where he started - making music on his own. It took nearly two years to receive a buyout from the company.
When the money finally came, Hutchinson used it to produce Sounds Like This, the artist's second studio album, which he released this summer on his Let's Break label. Witty, breezy blue-eyed soul reminiscent of early Billy Joel, the 10-song set became an Internet smash thanks largely to Mario Lavandeira, better known as celebrity gossip hound Perez Hilton. He raved about Sounds Like This on his popular blog.
"I had a normal suburban life," the artist says. "I always had a strong interest in music, though. I listened to a lot of Billy Joel, the Beatles, Paul Simon and Michael Jackson. I credit my parents with having smart music around."
