Morgan Creek Productions is teaming with Emmett Furla Oasis Films to co-finance and co-produce the delayed film, “Tupac,” according to Deadline.
The producers are working with a script by Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, with a new draft expected, and aiming to begin production in February in Atlanta. According to Deadline.com, producers have the rights to use Tupac’s musical catalog.

While a biopic has yet to be made, Tupac was previously portrayed on film by Anthony Mackie in Notorious, the 2009 movie about the Notorious B.I.G.

VIDEO: OPRAH MAKES THE FORBES 400 LIST OF RICHEST PEOPLE...AGAIN

Oprah Winfrey sits down with Access' Shaun Robinson, who gets to inform the media mogul that she has once again landed on The Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America. So, what does Oprah think about being on the list? And, what number is Oprah on.

The combined net worth of the 2012 class of the 400 richest Americans is $1.7 trillion, up from $1.5 trillion a year ago. The average net worth of a Forbes 400 member is a staggering $4.2 billion, up from $3.8 billion, and the highest ever, as two-thirds of the individuals added to their fortunes in the past year.  

Another factor: the gap between the very rich and the merely rich is widening. Only two in the top 20 are poorer, and as a group they are worth $73 billion more than a year ago.

VIDEO: SOLANGE – ‘LOVERS IN THE PARKING LOT’

The 27-year-old singer dances through empty commercial spaces—from a fluorescent-lit hallway, to a basement cafeteria arcade and pawn shop, to a Houston-area mall where Bun B once worked (check his choreographed cameo at the 2:22 mark). The fashionista shows off her vibrant style, wearing Michael Craft for Puma, against muted backdrops.

Solange returns to her Texas roots in the video for “Lovers in the Parking Lot,” the second visual release from last year’s EP True. The cinematic clip, directed by Solange and Peter J. Brant and filmed in her hometown of Houston, was made in conjunction with The Creators Project. But we wish Solange would learn how to dance and sing and stop letting her homeboy put together this low budget Video.  We know she's artsy but "We can't".

REALITY BULLY TAMMI ROMAN QUITS BASKETBALL WIVES?

Does anyone still watch this show?  We personally think these type reality show are on the outs fingers crossed.  Reality TV bully Tami Roman has unofficially quit “Basketball Wives.”

After weeks of complaining of being made out to be this season’s bad guy by show creator Shaunie O’Neal and bestie Evelyn Lozada, Tami took to Twitter earlier today to announce her departure.

When asked by a fan if she would be returning for season six, Tami’s response was direct and to the point: “No”
Tami went to say she has been struggling to break free of her past behavior and being on the show is “hampering” her progress.

Tami’s dissatisfaction with her portrayal on “Basketball Wives” this season has been so great that recently she took to YouTube to update fans on scenes she says have been “conveniently” left on the cutting room floor in a bid to purposely make her look bad.
Tami lashed out at Shanie, Evelyn and Suzie Ketcham in her videos, calling their actions “dead ass wrong” and vowing to avenge her name at this season’s reunion show.

Tami recently made amends with former “Basketball Wives” co-star Meeka Claxton, who you may all remember was viciously attacked by Tami back in 2011 while taping in Italy.

Career wise Tami has also moved on from “Basketball Wives,” recently landing a co-hosting gig on VH1’s “Tiny Tonight" which we previously reported.
