Bob Marley Biopic Emancipates Itself From Mental Slavery, Gets Production Deal

After years spent serving as a staple of dorm-room decor and graphic t-shirt design, Bob Marley will have his life retold in biopic form. The Weinstein Co. will produce and distribute a movie about the legendary reggae singer's life based on Rita Marley's 2004 book No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley; she will also serve as executive producer on the film. And because letting a memoir-happy widow executive-produce a project isn't precarious enough, they just might cast the always-dependable Lauryn Hill in a leading role. More »

Wyclef: Master Of Tough Love

In a recent MTV interview, it was revealed that Wyclef, after going on a tear about Lauryn Hill just a few months back, now apparently thinks the only way there would be a possible Fugees reunion is if Lauryn checks herself in for some serious time on the analyst's couch: More »

Lauryn Hill: Possibly Sane Again, Definitely Listening To A Lot Of Fela

Last night, as we were closing up shop to go home and watch Big Love/drink ourselves to sleep, one of your Idolators commented, "I wish I could go to the Lauryn Hill show." "Yes," said the other, "that should be a 'good' time." Well apparently it was indeed a good time, though just as inexplicable as one could have hoped, with Hill's hits set to loooong African/island rhythms by a large ensemble and the singer herself apparently performing her own songs in all new arrangements that had her skiddly-diddly-bop scatting like Cab Calloway: More »

No Dice On Fugees Reunion Album, Says Least Famous Member Of The Fugees

Pras, best known for coming off like a guest rapper on his one big solo single, says that the Fugees reunion album is kaput. He blames Lauryn Hill for the holdup, a theory that holds water since Hill's been a known quantity of crazy for quite some time. Instead, we'll be blessed with a Pras solo album that will quickly brick in time for the all-important fourth quarter. In other Pras news, for the two fans who aren't his creditors, he'll be starring in an upcoming documentary about the homeless. (Write your own gag.)

Lauryn Hill Is A Lost One At Her Comeback Show In Oakland

Last night's Lauryn Hill concert in Oakland—for which an orchestra seat cost $90—had concertgoers waiting around for an hour after the opening band finished, and according to reports from people in attendance, it only got worse from there: More »

Leak Of The Day, Part II: Lauryn Hill Has A New Thing Going On

It's been a long time since we've used the phrase "new music from Lauryn Hill," but over the weekend Nah Right led us to "Lose Myself," which Hill contributed to the penguins-hit-the-waves flick Surf's Up. The song is a brisk, fizzy workout, and we suspect that the dancing-penguins routine it'll inevitably score will reference a Gidget movie at least once: More »
