Idolator
Hey, are you a big fat guy (or a skinny guy willing to bulk up) with a lot of presence? Then you could be the one to play the Notorious B.I.G. in the upcoming (and long awaited) biopic. (It would probably also help if you were African-American, unless Todd Haynes is directing this thing.) On Sunday, aspiring Biggies can send their closeup reel to Fox Searchlight and hope for the best. No word yet on who will play Puffy or Ma$e, but your suggestions are welcome in the comments box.

Please. They will all be played by Eddie Murphy in the end.
The hip-hop universe will fold back in on itself when Doctor Dre plays Dr. Dre. Fewer than 1,000 people will get the joke when Schoolly D plays a school principal. And Ice-T will be denied the opportunity to play himself or any other role . . . because they *have* seen his acting on "Law & Order."
Martin Lawrence fits in somewhere.
@heidiho: Bingo. You win.
