Cent, 50 — The rapper reveals that he found it difficult to adopt a grasp of cockney slang for his upcoming movie Dead Man Running. Reportedly, however, he picked up enough that his next album will feature regional lyrics such as “I’m goin’ for a bit of the bendy with me favourite bird/ Gonna Harry Monk in a two n’ eight absurd/ ‘avin’ a rabbit and pork down at the local wif me bob/ an’ a tin bath gander at the kettle n’ fob.”

Ecology, Celebrity — E! Online takes us into the world of superstar earth-saving, revealing to us the good deeds our screen idols do to help protect the planet — among them that Jennifer Aniston takes only three-minute showers, Toby Maguire doesn’t use anything leather and Bob Dylan sells renewable grocery bags at his concerts.

Perry, Tyler — Multi-gazillionaire producer, director and actor Tyler Perry fought back at Spike Lee on last night’s 60 Minutes, explaining that he was “pissed off” by Lee’s mockery of Perry’s character Madea after Lee accused Perry of “buffoonery.” For the remaining 58 minutes of the program, we watched the quirky ups and downs in the relationships of Steve Kroft, Lesley Stahl, Morley Safer and Andy Rooney as they each found their own self-empowerment, a montage played over a currently popular R&B song, and someone gave an impassioned speech in church that made everything okay.
