THE LAST DRAGON REMAKE GETS GREEN LIGHT

THE FACTS
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that plans for a remake of the cult classic The Last Dragon are underway.

THE SPIN
If Busta Rhymes didn’t look like he had Spliff for dinner, and Rah Digga for dessert, he’d be a shoo in to reprise the role of Sho’Nuff. But, you can’t be the shogun of Harlem with a belly, so now Samuel L. Jackson will tackle the role.

Look, I love this movie, and I don’t care how bad people think it is: It’s a classic – as in so classic that you need to leave it the hell alone. Why is Hollywood so dead set on remaking everything? Is originality expensive now or is repetition just a better deal?

I guess it doesn’t matter, because this movie is happening whether any of the film’s die hard fans like it or not.

So now, play the guessing game. Who should replace Taimak and Vanity in the remake? If you say Chris Brown and Beyonce, I’m going to hit you with the glo.

J.D. CAN’T HOLD HIS LIQUOR

THE FACTS
The New York Post reports that Jermaine Dupri became ill during his 36th birthday party. 

THE SPIN
While celebrating his 36th birthday (I would have guessed he was over 40, but my bad, JD), Jermaine Dupri ended up “vomiting in Janet’s lap” according to the New York Post. The two were at the club Tenjune in NY, sharing bottles of Jay-Z’s Ace of Spades Champagne and Patrón tequila with Ne-Yo, Busta Rhymes and Ice-T. I guess the combination was a little too much for the homie. After he lost his liquor in his girlfriend’s lap, Janet “bolted the scene and left in her chauffeured Maybach.”

A rep for Jackson and Dupri didn’t return the New York Post’s calls.

That’s probably because Janet was still cursing him out.

Your Spin: What would you do if your spouse vomited in your lap IN PUBLIC?  Tell us here.
