Biggie’s Big Wax Unveiling

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 26th, 2007

Yesterday morning, the Notorious B.I.G.’s cherished memory was set in wax?

Although it’s not a sculpture of stone, it will certainly stand as a beacon of remembrance for Biggie fans in New York, and around the world, for a very long time. The famous Madame Tussauds wax museum, one of New York’s hottest tourist spots, located in walking distance from Times Square, unveiled the lifelike replica yesterday. The museum hosted the Brooklyn High School for the Arts choir for the event as they chimed P Diddy’s well-known homage to his best friend, “I’ll Be Missing You”.

Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, and former manager Wayne Barrow were in attendance. Both of them posed proudly and respectfully for cameras and press, but were certainly touched by the event despite their light-hearted smiles.

“Looking at the statue, I have a mixed feeling,” Wallace admitted to MTV News. “A little sad, a little happy. It’s incredibly accurate. I’m a little emotional, ’cause I feel that that statue over there looks very much like my son. I wish it was real; I wish it was breathing. As a mother, I’m extremely emotional. But at the same time I’m happy that Madame Tussauds has honored him and made a statue for the world to see.”

Not only will Biggie be remembered by his music and wax representation, but director George Tillman Jr. has decided to immortalize Biggie’s legacy by creating a feature film about his life as well. The biopic is still in its beginning stages, and no release date has been given.

Notorious B.I.G. Biopic in Search of Someone to Play the Legendary Rapper

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 15th, 2007

Has anyone ever said that you look and sound like Notorious B.I.G. but you have never been sure how to capitalize off of those features?

Wow, it’s your lucky day.

Notorious Films has launched an online search to cast the role of Christopher Wallace, AKA rap legend Notorious B.I.G., in the upcoming Fox Searchlight Pictures film “Notorious.”

You, Mr. Lookalike, can post your video at biggiecasting.com.

And hey, if you happen to get the role after hearing about it first on andPOP, see if the producers can get us a small part. We don’t want to have to squat at the director’s house like Drama did to Brett Ratner on Entourage, but we might have to if your loyalty skills suck.

Notorious B.I.G. Defamation Lawsuit Dismissed

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 22nd, 2007

A judge has thrown out a defamation lawsuit filed by a man who alleged a US television station and a hip-hop magazine falsely accused him of being involved in the murder of rapper NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Thursday dismissed the suit by TYRUSS HIMES against Fox-owned KTTV-TV in Los Angeles and XXL magazine.

The judge granted defence motions to dismiss the lawsuit on grounds that the stories were constitutionally protected free speech. The judge also said that Himes had failed to prove that the media outlets acted with malice and reckless disregard for the truth, which is the standard of proof in a defamation case.

Himes’ attorney ARTHUR G LESMEZ insists his client is considering an appeal or may re-file the case: “We are appreciative of the time and effort the court put into reviewing the case. We’re understandably disappointed in the decision and we’re evaluating all of our options.”

Notorious BIG, real name CHRISTOPHER WALLACE, was shot to death in a car on 9 March 1997. Wallace had been in a feud with rapper TUPAC SHAKUR and there have been recurring rumours that Wallace’s shooting was retaliation for the unsolved killing of Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996.

Himes was a friend of Shakur and performed on his album LOYAL TO THE GAME. Himes sued Fox and XXL magazine in July, claiming he lost a record deal because the TV station aired a news report implicating him in Wallace’s killing. XXL printed an article in 2005 indicating that he was “involved in assembling the team” to murder Wallace.

L.A. Pays Notorious B.I.G.’s Family

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 29th, 2006

The Los Angeles City Council will pay $1.1 million to the family of Notorious B.I.G. to cover legal costs, Reuters reports.

The penalty occurred because of errors in a civil wrongful death trial over accusations that the rapper was murdered by rogue police officers. A district judge accused police of concealing evidence and declared a mistrial in July.

Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was killed in 1997 when he was 24. The unsolved murder had been rumoured to be linked to the feud between East and West Coast rap record labels.

The family of Notorious B.I.G. claims the shooting was carried out by police working for one of the record companies. It will proceed with a wrongful death lawsuit and hope to set a new trial date next month.
