50 Cent Laughs Off Restraining Order

Rapper 50 Cent has laughed off the restraining order banning him from contact with his ex-girlfriend - insisting he hasn't seen her outside of a courtroom in more than a year.
A New York judge agreed to Shaniqua Tompkins' request yesterday, which will prevent the star, real name Curtis Jackson, from being on the same premises as the mother of his 11-year-old son Marquise.
But 50 Cent's lawyer Bret Kimmel claims the petition is merely a "tactic", because the former couple has no contact anyway.
His statement reads, "Outside of courtrooms and lawyers' offices, Mr. Jackson hasn't seen nor spoken with Ms. Tompkins in a year and a half, and he has no interest in doing so now.
"The petition is little more than a tactic and a vindictive response to the petition Mr. Jackson filed seeking an order holding Ms. Tompkins in contempt of court for refusing to permit him to be with his son."
The pair has been battling in court over 50 Cent's Long Island, New York home, where Tompkins and Marquise have been living.
The house was destroyed in a suspicious blaze in May.
The rapper is currently suing Tompkins for defamation after she accused him of starting the fire.

James Bond to wed in Quantum Of Solace?

British actress Gemma Arterton has hinted that James Bond may tie the knot in the forthcoming 007 movie.
The 22-year-old star told a US TV reporter that she and Daniel Craig had been shooting scenes in a honeymoon suite for the film, which is titled 'Quantum of Solace'.
The surprised journalist asked: "Honeymoon suite?", prompting Arterton to reply: "I think I've said too much."
The actress, who can currently be seen in 'St Trinian's', plays an MI6 agent working at the British consulate in Bolivia in the new Bond film.
Bond has previously been married on screen. In the 1969 movie 'On Her Majesty's Service', George Lazenby's Bond married Tracy Draco (Diana Rigg). However, she was murdered in a drive-by shooting on their wedding day.

Over the years, Taylor Deupree has worked on a considerable measure of projects in music and multimedia system. With each musical project he takes on, his shows a different production side of himself, from ambient sounds to arduous drumfish machine-controlled techno. In the early to late '90s, he was region of the acid techno mathematical group Prototype 909. This trio's sound can be strongly associated with the former rave style of flying beatniks and sharp, tweaking, malformed noises. It is through and through his relationship with Prototype 909 that Deupree reinforced a strong affiliation with a drum machine; hence the sobriquet Taylor 808. During Prototype 909's rise to rave popularity, he made clip to explore his ambient side. SETI, a cast with Savvas Ysatis, and Deupree's solo design, Human Mesh Dance, gave him a chance to explore calmer electronic avenues. Though he has released many deeds on uncounted labels, well-nigh of his work bathroom be base on Instinct and 12K Records, which is his own judge. Deupree is besides very involved in the artistic subculture that surrounds electronic euphony.


Based in Brooklyn, NY, Deupree's most widely known project is as one third of Prototype 909, a group that too included Dietrich Schoenemann and Jason "BPMF" Szostek. The group was most illustrious for their resilient performances and cogwheel, such as rare keyboards, drum machines, and refusal to consumption a DAT musician, holding prerecorded music. The band released quaternion full-length albums, Acid Technology (Instinct, 1993), Live 1993-1995 (Instinct, 1995), Electronic transistor Rhythm (Instinct, 1995), and United at the Head (Caipirinha, 1997). Prototype 909 dissolved in the later '90s, simply continues to figure out on projects unitedly and severally.


Deupree is likewise half of SETI, a couple named later on the research experiment to pick up wireless signals from aliens. A relative suggested the identify to Deupree for his output coalition with Savvas Ysatis (Omnicron), a longtime friend. Both Ysatis and Deupree wanted their music to reflect the modality of the project, which resulted in minimalistic and often observational sounds and samples. SETI put out trey full-length releases, SETI (Inherent aptitude, 1993), Pharos (Inherent aptitude, 1994), and Ciphers (Inherent aptitude, 1996). Despite Deupree's worries concerning the consumption of the identify of the highly raw experimentation, scientists at the SETI Institute actually praised the distich for their work. For Beacon light, the Institute gave the group intelligent samples from space and spoken interviews to consumption on the album. In 1996, Savvas and Deupree formed the judge Index, which only released one 12" EP with quaternary tracks from various artists, including Prototype 909's Dietrich Shoenemann. The record is now distributed by 12K Records.


In 1993, Deupree started his solo project, Human Mesh Dance. Unlike Prototype 909's knob-tweaking, classical techno intelligent, Human Mesh Dance allowed Deupree to render his softer, ambient side at the like time that Prototype 909's popularity was rising. His first full-length as Human Mesh Dance was Hyaline (Inherent aptitude, 1993). In 1994, he followed with the full-length Idea Flower, once more on Instinct. Theseceretnumbertwelve was released in 1997 under very much applaud on 12K Records and marked a young point in Deupree's independence as a solo artist. 12K is based in New York and has released a slew of CDs, most in special editions of D or 1,000.


In 1997, Deupree teamed up with Ysatis once more and released the CD Arc vs. Tiny Objects in Space under the corresponding name calling. In 1998, 12K released the CD Alphabet Flasher by Drum Komputer, a name Deupree and former Prototype 909 fellow worker Schoenemann consumption when they bring out together. That same yr, Deupree's solo project Comma came out in a special D release, a yr later a limited button with Richard Chartier called Specification returned him to a paired-off effort. In April 2000, the album .N was released, and in July, Deupree teamed with Tetsu Inoue for Active/Freeze. A calendar month later, the full-length album Polr was released on Frank Bretschneider's German tag Raster Music.


Besides music, Deupree has had an artistic office in the electronic music culture. Instinct Records gave him an outlet for his exercise to be noticed when he took o'er as head graphic design creative person. Since his release from Instinct, he has been highly byzantine with Caipirinha Productions, the producers of the much-acclaimed electronic music objective Modulations. Deupree worked on the visually based, futuristic photographic film Synthetical Pleasures, where he took buck of the graphic aim work and contributed to both of the film's soundtracks. Making a bold shift in the direction of his sound, Deupree began to focal point more on textural elements with Stil. in 2002. He as well began a full stop of punishing coaction, working with artists divers in range such as piano player Kenneth Kirschner, microsound guru Frank Bretschneider, atmospherical minimalist Richard Chartier, and guitar player Christopher Willits.


In 2004, Deupree launched the Happy embossment, the by-product of a dissatisfaction with the lack of right exposure to Japanese pop outside of Japan. 2005 found Deupree remixing such experimental music luminaries as Philip Glass and Ryuichi Sakamoto, as intimately as an album-length project of sound reconstruction for Japanese triple Eisi, entitled Every Still Day. After several days of team-ups, in 2006, he returned to the console as a solo creative person and released the beautifully rough-textured Northern, followed by a modified edition of experimental field of force recording samples, coroneted 1AM.






New Movie Going To DVD With A Stop On Internet First

The phrase "straight to DVD" may have to be altered somewhat to take into consideration the circuitous route Sony Film is planning for some future productions. The studio said Wednesday that it is planning to release its forthcoming movie Angel of Death first as a series of eight-minute installments on the Web beginning in 2009. While each "webisode" will have its own beginning and end, the company indicated that all of the installments will eventually be coalesced into a full-length movie that can be released on DVD or on TV.
