One of the most anticipated movies left this year, American Gangster had its big NYC premiere on Friday at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem. Denzel and Russell had their wives on their arms as they showed off their awesome looking collaboration. Also on the red carpet was Jay-Z, who was so very excited about the film that he decided to write a whole album inspired by it. In case you missed it, the first track/video is already out. This certainly means he's not at all retired, and he recently talked to XXL Magazine about just that. He said:
I want to never say that again. Just make the albums, man. And if one day people wake up and it’s four years later, and you haven’t made another, they go, “Wait a minute, you’re retired!” I think that’s best for me. I think I pulled the retirement ripcord too many times. People looking at me like, “Please shut up.” I was looking at Fade to Black the other day. I was embarrassed. I couldn’t watch. I’m not playing with you. I had to turn it off. I was cringing. Like, I’m about to put out another album, man. Another one. Not only was that not my last, I put out another one, and I’m about to put out another one. I wasted a great film! I’m about to make another film, though. Not on retirement, just another film. I want to make a movie with this album. Like a short film, a better Streets Is Watching. I want to get the Hughes brothers to direct it. I’ll be doing a disservice if I didn’t deliver it [American Gangster] in a proper way.
I think it's safe to say that everyone has had more than enough of Jay-Z's retirement merry-go-round, so it's good to hear it's over. Now we can all just focus on his music...and that he seems like one of the cooler people ever. As for the movie, we have to wait two more weeks until the Nov. 2 release, but that's just more time to get excited.

Justin and his two business partners/friends Trace Ayala and Eytan Sugarman celebrated the opening of their new restaurant, Southern Hospitality, in NYC last night. JT was in his standard uniform from the fedora to the neck hair, but it's cool because his guests -- ranging from Al Sharpton to Lance Bass -- all kept it pretty casual. Jay-Z didn't walk the carpet, but made an appearance on the inside. I wonder if the same can be said for JT's girl Biel, who was elsewhere in town at a screening of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry for NYC Firemen (more on that later). Hey, even if she didn't get to taste her boy's new goodies, I bet she gets her share of Southern Hospitality from JT. If you know what I mean...ha.

Paris Hilton's "reassignment" is not sitting well with critics, with civil rights leaders crying foul over the "Simple Life" socialite's transfer from a Los Angeles County jail cell to home detention in her posh Hollywood Hills digs and local politicians calling for an investigation into the sudden move.
Hilton was allowed to leave Century Regional Detention Facility about 2 a.m. Thursday after Sheriff Lee Baca, in consultation with jail officials and Hilton's doctors, agreed that her "medical condition" warranted the change of scenery. She will serve 40 days under house arrest, with an ankle bracelet keeping tabs on her movements.
"This early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism," said the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Meanwhile, county supervisor Yvonne Burke demanded the sheriff's department issue a report explaining the early release.
