Seconds after Manny Pacquiao was knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden, two key members of his team allegedly assaulted Getty Images photographer Al Bello because they were angry that Bello was shooting pictures of the fallen fighter.
Bello said Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz and assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez were punching and kicking at Bello as he was trying to photograph Pacquiao, who was face first down on the mat.
Bello jumped off the apron in an effort to avoid confrontation with the men.
"Had I not gotten off the ring, I have no doubt the two of them would have beaten the [expletive] out of me and I might have been seriously hurt," Bello told Yahoo! Sports.

Wiz Khalifa Burns Onto Charts At #2 With O.N.I.F.C.

Wiz Khalifa will get a holiday treat next week when his album O.N.I.F.C.
 debuts at #2 on sales of 141,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
That nearly matched the sales of his first major label album, last year's Rolling Papers, (which debuted at #2 on sales of 197,000), but wasn't quite enough to keep Taylor Swift from moving back up to the #1 slot with Red. 
Swift sold another 167,000 copies to move past the 2.3 million mark in less than two months.

I Might Go Back To G-Unit - The Game

Compton rapper The Game has said that if the situation was right he could end up back in G-Unit. He also said he had hopes to one day record a song with Jay-Z.
Although Game’s bonus cut “Blood of Christ” takes shots at his former G-Unit members, the rapper doesn’t sound opposed to a G-Unit reunion, as he says in a new interview.
Game is never one to avoid confrontation, as seen throughout his career. However, in the case of Jay-Z, he says it wasn’t really about any “real beef” as it was about a “lyrical war.” He reflected on his history with Hov, and contemplated whether the two would ever collaborated on a song, while talking to BET.
“It wasn’t that I resented Jay-Z or had any real beef, I just wanted to pick a fight and hear him spit at me and me spit at him and get into a lyrical war. And just being a student of hip-hop and a fan early on I could challenge Jay. And the possibility of a song happening over the years it kinda got tainted, but it’s a new day, I’m a new person,a little bit older, and hopefully one day we’ll be able to make that happen.”
In the case of G-Unit and 50 Cent, Game blames Fif’s ego. Although “Blood of Christ” might indicate otherwise, the Compton native says he doesn’t hold grudges, and so a G-Unit reunion could still be a possibility if the right circumstances arise.A
Game explained to BET, “What 50 gotta do is, he gotta let go of his ego. I don’t hold grudges I think I was mad for the time being when we were oing through that, and after that I immediately I graduated to a neutral ground where that coulda happened. But it’s 50, man, so once he calms his ego and realizes there still could be a possibility of G-Unit reforming then who knows. But I know you can’t put together G-Unit without Game and you cant’ do it without 50. 50 can do all the members but if I’m missing it’s not complete, and if he’s not there, it’s not complete.”

Lady Gaga Sister Stands Out In Fashion Shoot.

Natali Germanotta vogues Joanne Trattoria. (Marvin Joseph/ViralFashion.com)Looks like Lady Gaga's sister was born this way, too. But Natali Germanotta, 20, doesn't quite have the same eccentric fashion tastes as her older, famous sibling. In a photo shoot for ViralFashion.com, the Parsons The New School for Design student strikes a pose in various high-end pieces from Alaia, J Mendel, and Proenza Schouler as she hangs out with well-dressed pals at Joanne Trattoria, her parents' Italian restaurant located on New York City's Upper West Side. It's good advertisement for the eatery, no?

Natali also happens to work at Joanne Trattoria, which has been the recipient of some bad reviews (the New York Daily News deemed it "the worst thing since herpes") when she's not immersed in her fashion studies.

Alan Cumming Wants to Reprise Nightcrawler Role

A recent report has named Alan Cumming as the latest star to express interest in reprising a role for X-Men: Days of Future Past. ComingSoon.net recently sat down with the versatile actor and managed to oust his eager opinion.
Alan Cumming has a number of films under his belt, but is known most notably in the US as Nightcrawler in X2 and the lovable geek Boris in 1995′s GoldenEye (“I’m invincible!”). He admits to being quite fond of his role as Nightcrawler, and also that he has not yet been beckoned by director Bryan Singer.

“I haven’t gotten the call. Someone told me that Nightcrawler doesn’t appear in the story but I don’t know, I think they would have called by now. It was funny, that film, because I really like it and everyone really responded to Nightcrawler and enough time has elapsed that I would like to go back to it. Although then when I did that film it was sort of the start of this spate of superhero and comic books made into films so it felt a little more special then it does now. X2 was a really great film, not just as a comic book film. I think it’s one of the films I’d been in that I think of as really good.”

If called, Alan Cumming would join the ranks of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen. They’ve already reportedly joined the ranks under Singer, reprising their roles as Magneto, Professor X, Wolverine and Jean Grey, respectively.
Cumming would also be a worthy addition to an already stellar cast that consists of James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender. To say X-Men: Days of Future Past is star studded would be quite the understatement.
Fortunately, Alan Cumming has plenty of time to get the call from Bryan Singer before Days of Future Past hits theaters in July 2014 (provided he keeps his phone close for a couple of years). After all, Jason Flemyng in X-Men: First Class played Nightcrawler’s father, Azazel, so it would be rather simple for the character to join the storyline. In any case, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Biggie, Puff Daddy And Denzel Washington My Inspiration - Jamie Foxx

A longtime fan of the Western, Quentin Tarantino named the protagonist in his new film Django, in honor of the iconic cowboy first played by Italian actor Franco Nero. Yet in crafting the lead character, Tarantino followed no particular model or template, instead choosing to create a fresh, 21st century version of the frontier, vigilante hero.

But the man who would eventually play the slave-turned-bounty hunter, Jamie Foxx, did have a few role models and visions.
"There are a few people that I would privately look at. Of course, Denzel Washington in Glory, I would also look at Tombstone, I would also look at New Jack City," the Oscar winner told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's premiere on Tuesday. "During the whole taping, whenever it was action scenes, I listened to Biggie on the set. So we played, 'The weak and the strong, you've got it going on, you're dead wrong.' "

As a Grammy winner who also won an Oscar for portraying Ray Charles, Foxx found music a constant source of inspiration and a steadying frame of reference. As the scenes shifted from action to romance, the genre of his warm-up tunes changed as well.
"When Kerry Washington saw me -- when Broomhilda sees Django for the first time -- I played some music before she saw me, it was Faith," he said, referring to singer Faith Evans, before breaking into song. Broomhilda is Django's wife, and freeing her from the ranch of the evil Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) was Django's driving motivation.

Washington spent much of her time on camera being tortured, either physically or mentally, and Foxx, as Django, suffered his own indignities, with whips and shackles. Despite all the difficult-to-watch depictions of slavery and the brutality with which masters treated their slaves, Foxx held some hope in his heart -- with some help from a friend.
"I would wear Sean Jean clothes just to sort of like, for one, Puffy is a friend, a black man doing his thing," Foxx explained. "So I would wear his clothes and I would be like, 'Listen, I'm not trying to be weird on you,' I told him, I wore it as sort of a representation from the future to the past of where we were actually going: to where a black man can own his own company, do records, own all these different things. So there were these little things that I would take along with me to push the character forward."

Plans To Kill Justin Bieber Uncovered By Police

Tanner Ruane, left, and his uncle Mark Staake are accusing of plotting to kill Justin Bieber.

A bizarre and gruesome murder plot targeting Justin Bieber has been unraveled by police, KRQE-TV reports.

Two would-be hit men from Albuquerque, N.M. -- Mark Staake and his nephew Tanner Ruane -- had plans to stalk and kill the singer while he visited New York for a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden, police say.
According to police, Staake had befriended a third man, Dana Martin, while both were incarcerated in Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility in Las Cruces. Martin, who is serving two life sentences for the 2000 murder and rape of a 15-year-old girl in Vermont, recruited Staake to execute a series of killings on his behalf after Staake was released.

Mark Wahlberg Set To Produce Hacker Movie

Call it a password-protected project.

Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson have set up an untitled hacker film at Universal Pictures that is loosely based on a recent GQ article titled "The Hacker Is Watching."
Jonathan Herman, who most recently wrote an update of the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds for Universal, will write the screenplay, which centers on an anonymous, ruthless, highly skilled hacker who targets the student body of a large suburban high school. David Kushner penned the true story, which ran in GQ's January 2012 issue.

Wahlberg and Levinson, whose recent producing collaborations span film and television and include the HBO hits Boardwalk Empire and Entourage, will produce the youth-driven thriller.
The untitled hacker project strengthens the pair's ties with the studio. They also recently produced the Wahlberg-starring crime thriller Contraband for Universal and are developing a pair of projects for the studio: the action comedy Bait and Switch and thriller The Disciple Program.

'Age of the Hobbits' Changes Name

Age of the Hobbits, which a federal judge enjoined Monday from release in the U.S. under that title, has a new name; as indicated on producer The Asylum’s website, the movie is now called Clash of the Empires.

That isn’t enough to stop the court case, however. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, a Warner Bros. spokesman said, “we are moving forward” for a preliminary injunction. A hearing on that matter is set for January 28. Meanwhile, a temporary restraining order remains in effect, prohibiting release of the film under the “Age of the Hobbits” title.
In Cambodia, the new title is “The History of Mankind,” as THR previously reported.

The title tiff raises an interesting question: what was the original name of the movie? According to the film’s screenwriter, Eric Forsberg, the original title of the script was “X.” In essence, the screenplay was untitled. Forsberg said he had nothing to do with the “Age of the Hobbits” title.
