WHITNEY HOUSTON: The Movie?
A Whitney Houston bio-pic is in the works, with Saved by the Bell star Lark Voorhies as a possible star. Bossip.com reports that Voorhies has been in talks with Houston's mentor, J Records head Clive Davis, about the role. The film has been confirmed to start shooting in 2010 and is scheduled to be in theaters in 2011. Producers are also casting to find a younger Whitney and a pre-teen Whitney. Reps for Davis didn't return our calls for comment. Comment Below: Is Lark Voorhies is a good choice to play Whitney? If not, who would you want to see in the role?

CHRIS BROWN DOING HIS COMMUNITY SERVICE
Ya boy Chris Breezy is pulling weeds and bagging trash with the other felons this morning. Damn man! This is not a good look for you. What if Rihanna rolled by and threw a can and a Subway Wrapper on the ground right now...?
ONE DRUG ARREST MADE EVERY 18 SECONDS
According to a new report from the FBI, someone is arrested in the United States for a drug-law violation every 18 seconds. More than four-fifths of those arrests were for possession only -- and nearly half were for possession of marijuana. Of the nearly 850,000 marijuana arrests last year -- one every 37 seconds -- 89 percent were for possession alone. Source: FBI.gov

I think that marijuana should be legalized only because the drug has not caused car accidents, it is noted to be a positive thing for cancer patients in medicinal purposes. I do know that what they should not legalize is alcohol. Statistically, it kills every hour. It has no positive effect on humans.

Marijuana should be of personal chioce. They are not going to be able to stop everyone that grows it, transport it, or use it. I know a man that is 79 years old, he told me he has been smoking since he was 9. That's 70 years. Prescription drugs have produce more negative effects, then the weed has. Just like parsley, thyme, and oregano, weed is grown from seeds. There are no additives, no man-made poisons (unless sum dumb spitefull muthafucka spray it) to harm the body. Now in the process of transporting it, sum fools use products that cover the smell, which can effect it. I think if you know how to grow you should be permitted to. The Government does not want to be left out in ANY way. They want to be able to tax and regulate the hard work of normal agriculture. But they get paid more under the table to allow it to come into this country, then it would to throw bar code on sacks. Mexico is bringing tons thru here everyday, but they pay a toll at the Border.

by legalizing weed you America would take a huge hit in profits from the drug business. They make more money through court costs, legal fees, bail, drug counselors, police salaries, etc... It's much more profitable to have it illegal and keep everyone working than to make it legal and cut hours and jobs for prosecuting and rehabilitating it.
Lark would be a good choice. I haven't seen her in too much besides Saved by the Bell...hopefully she could pull off a major biopic
Rappers are retarded...what's the point of becoming rich and successful and just throwing it away?
Good Morning
