Will Ferrell received the mother of all compliments… from whom you'd least expect.
During his appearance on What What Happens Life with Andy Cohen, The House star voiced his thoughts on being included in one of Kanye West's infamous Twitter rants back in 2016, in which the rapper tweeted, "I saw Zoolander 2 for the 2nd time. Will Ferrell has reached walking living breathing god status! His existence is a blessing."
The 49-year-old actor, who isn't actually on social media, caught wind of West's praise.
"My initial reaction was, 'It's about time,'" he said. "And I'm just glad someone recognized that."

Ferrell added that the hip-hop icon's shout-out earned him major respect from his children, 7-year-old Axel, 10-year-old Mattias and 13-year-old Magnus.
"That totally gave me full-on street cred for life," he confessed. "Thug life for life."

In the opening scene to Benny Boom’s Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me, we see the esteemed rapper tell a reporter, in prison, he wants his real story to be told – and the interviewer responds by assuring the hotheaded wordsmith he’ll do all he can. Effectively working as something of a mouthpiece for the director, or a disclaimer even, sadly it’s not a promise kept – as we struggle to get beyond the facade of the infamous performer.
It’s a shame this be the case, for Tupac was a unique hip hop artist, who put everything on the line. Take Do For Love – he strips himself of that distinctive masculinity, and loses his dignity – it’s a song about being so deep in love he’s willing to forgive his partner for any wrongdoing. This was the sort of person Tupac was, and...

A hip-hop gamechanger, a revolutionary's son, an actor, an ex-convict, a platinum-selling artist, a sensitive truth-teller, a "Thug Life" tattoo-sporting tough guy, a black man, a martyr – Tupac Shakur was all these things and more. It was never a matter of whether or not the 25-year-old musician deserved a biopic so much as why it took so damned long to make it happen. (Would that it were so simple: You can read a detailed history of the project's long, winding and incredibly bumpy road to becoming a reality.) There was...

Jason Aldean will no longer be outnumbered three to one! Two weeks ago, the country singer and his wife Brittany Kerr announced they are expecting their first child together.

A review of tonight's "The Leftovers" coming up just as soon as I get a Thug Life tattoo on my neck... "Sometimes, you have to pretend." -Kevin "The Leftovers" has offered some very brief glimpses of the world before the Sudden Departure, and alluded to the characters' histories. It's been focusing on the aftermath of what happened, and hoping that the performances and what little backstory we've been given will be enough to give us a sense of why the Garveys, Nora, Patti, Matt and the others have been acting the way they have three years later. And for the most part, I think the show's been enormously successful at that. Amy Brenneman's face tells me so much about Laurie, for instance, that I was actually relieved she didn't start talking to Patti when they were in the diner in the wake of Gladys' murder. That said, the past...

Singleton announced the news on twitter, saying: “The time has come to tell your story. I promise to keep it real and true to your sould. Bigg Js50 Niggaaz/Thug Life.”

He’s always up for a challenge, and James Franco just began filming his guest starring gig with “The Mindy Project.”
The “This is the End” actor was snapped on the set by writer/co-star Ike Barinholtz, who posted the photos to his Twitter account with captions like, “Cool guyz,” and “Thug life.”
According to the show, Franco will have a two-episode arc as Dr. Leotard, a charismatic former model who ditched the runway for the ER after a pregnant woman saved him during a fashion show.
And it sounds like he’s been fitting in quite nicely, as Kaling tweeted, "I f--cking love james franco,” following a day on the job.

To celebrate April Fools' Day and simultaneously viral market the new film "This Is The End," Seth Rogen, James Franco and Danny McBride have put together a trailer for "Pineapple Express 2." This time, they must assassinate Woody Harrelson (played by Jonah Hill, because obviously). Thug life, indeed.
"This Is The End" is Rogen's apocalypse comedy where the actor cast his famous friends as variations on themselves (Franco, Hill and McBride are joined by Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel and a cast of dozens). The comedy was co-written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad") and co-directed by the pair as well.
"We thought it'd be funny to see really famous people die in super graphic ways," Rogen said at WonderCon this weekend (via EW.com). "People were into it. At first we thought they'd be insulted or something like that — and some of them were -- but most of them weren't. They were into it.

Hey guys, remember 'Drop It Like Its Hot'? Yeah, I hadn't thought about it since 2005 either. It was put back on my radar, however, when it got what it always needed: a Hot Pockets remix. Snoop Dogg/Lion recently collaborated with popular YouTuber DeStorm and Andy Milonakis to bring us 'Pocket Like Its Hot,' which changes the lyrics of the song so that they sing the praises of portable pizza pockets. I'm not even kidding. Check it out: The video directly references Snoop's original video for the song, making use of a two-tone color scheme and graffiti. I can't decide what my favorite part of this video is: It could be 'Herbie', the giant Hot Pockets mascot who dances around with his new rapper friends; or maybe it's Andy Milonakis playing a giant kick drum emblazoned with the Hot Pockets logo; but no, in the end, the best part...

It’s kind of a weird thing to watch Shepard Smith when he gets sincere. First of all, I’ve always felt that Shepard looked vaguely like Laura Palmer’s dad from Twin Peaks, so stunned contrition represents a jarring departure from the conditioned, smarmy death’s head smirk that’s been plastered on his face since Fox News overtook CNN and MSNBC. On Friday, Shepard found himself in the hot seat while Fox News followed a high speed chase in Arizona to its grim conclusion.
Having already been boiled down by the forces of the Internet, all that’s left of the clip is the penultimate moment. The chase, in retrospect, rendered irrelevant. The jacked vehicle, a small maroon SUV, is parked in a clearing, apparently off to the side of a freeway. The suspect jumps out. He is the only person in the frame. Smith describes the scene,...

Not too long ago I reported on Jay-z departing from his usual creative ventures to be a part of a forthcoming Annie remake, an odd mixture but I brushed it off. With a hot music festival coming in September, our boy Jay felt it would be interesting to make a documentary centered around the concert series and himself. So far it sounds pretty casual for the music mogul. The task of directing the documentary, however, has fallen to what could be considered the most unexpected choice, famed narrative-film director Ron Howard.

The movie industry has never known what to do with rap music. But from Nwa to Odb, the extreme lives of its stars offer epic stories for the big screen
'Are you the one?" asks the trailer. In March last year, the Los Angeles production company Morgan Creek put out an online casting call, seeking an unknown to play the part of "poet … rapper … actor … revolutionary … legend …" Tupac Shakur. Anyone could apply by submitting footage of themselves reading a scene from the script and rapping to one of Shakur's songs. The director is Antoine Fuqua, best known for the movie Training Day, and the movie's producers include Shakur's mother. The casting call received thousands of applications, which makes for some hilarious viewing on YouTube, but the question of who could fill the shoes of one of rap's biggest personalities is indicative of a bigger problem for the movies: that they...

The inaugural "New York" edition of Electric Daisy Carnival, the nation's biggest electronic dance music (Edm) festival series, touched down at the Meadowlands in New Jersey on Friday.
Dance music festival are more commonly referred to as raves, but that word -- with its underground connotations -- feels disingenuous in an era dominated by organized, expensive events. Insomniac, the company behind Edc, says nearly 100,000 people attended the three-day event. In addition to the New York and Las Vegas Edc's (the latter is expected to draw over 300,000 revelers), music fans can check out Electric Zoo in New York, Together As One in Los Angeles, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and plenty of others.
The usual suspects were on hand at Edc this year -- heavy hitters Armin van Buuren, Avicii and Afrojack anchored the lineups on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively, and other DJ's, including veteran Carl Cox, occupied smaller stages.

2 Chainz has been the hot name featured on a lot of tracks lately, like on Nicki Minaj's endlessly catchy "Beez in the Trap," Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music love-in "Mercy" and T.I.'s "Spend It." Now he's got a Drake on his side for his first single "No Lie" from his forthcoming full-length album debut. And, weirdly, Drake seems to dominate much of "No Lie," as he carries the hook and takes up most of the first half. It's your typical Drizzy boasts with 2 Chainz' bobbing, choppy rhymes coming in later on, with his "Thug life, one wife, a mistress and a...

Drake and 2 Chainz have released a new song, and many hip hop blogs have come to the quick conclusion that it may be the genre's song of the summer. The single, "No Lie," features a blend of hashtag-style, word association rapping ("Black diamonds / Apartheid!") and Drake's R&B-like hooks.
The chorus isn't the most creative, with Drake basically repeating "I ain't never told no lie" about ten times. The beat incorporates some of the Southern-style trap sound that's blowing up in hip hop recently (see: Kanye's "Way Too Cold").
The track is the lead single off 2 Chainz's upcoming album Based On a T.R.U. Story.
"Thug life, one wife, a mistress and a girlfriend," 2 Chainz raps, before going on to extol the virtues of Yves Saint Laurent belts. Fresh off a guest verse on "Mercy," 2 Chainz has been collaborating with so many other artists that "feat. 2 Chainz" has become...

Tupac Shakur has been brought back to life -- not just in the form of a hologram, but through a fictional Twitter account channeling the specter's voice and personality.
The account, which already has over 23,000 followers, was created just hours after the hologram's Sunday performance at Coachella. It features a mix of jokes about the hologram's virtual existence, insults directed at other holograms and bits of lyrical wisdom from Tupac's rap songs.
In this tweet, Tupac asks Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, for money to keep the lights on. The $1.4 million figure is a reference to the money that Knight posted for Tupac's bond when he was incarcerated in 1995. Soon after bail was posted, Tupac agreed to sign up with Death Row Records.
Electricity bill just arrived. Damn! Yo Suge can I get another 1.4 million?

The rapper with the "Thug Life" tat was brought back to life at Coachella on Sunday night. Thanks to good old modern technology, Tupac Shakur was resurrected more than 15 years after his death in the form of a hologram to take the stage and perform the tunes "Come With Me, "Hail Mary" and "Gangsta Party" alongside Snoop Dogg. Snoop was later joined by the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa and other actual flesh-and-blood artists, making his set at the music fest all the more memorable. It wasn't just Tupac, though, who was remembered, as images of Nate Dogg appeared on a screen in the background as Snoop performed "Ain't No Fun." But not...

Rihanna's "Thug Life" tattoo

Rihanna had everyone buzzing this week when she debuted a tattoo with the words "Thug Life" scrolled across her famous fingers. The flesh-colored ink was done up by Los Angeles tat artist Mark Mahoney at the Shamrock Social Club parlor in Hollywood. While the body art pays tribute to late rapper Tupac, it is certainly not the first time that Rihanna has gotten a tattoo.
In fact, the singer is no novice. She's already covered in ink, ranging from the sugary sweet to the more hard-core.
She made headlines back in 2009 when she debuted a gun tattoo on her rib cage. Rihanna's tattoo was scandalous as it came only months after her Grammy-night altercation with her ex, Chris Brown. "People are going to react all different ways," tat artist...

Rihanna added to her collection of tattoos -- 15 to be exact -- and showed off her newest one that says "Thug Life" splayed across her knuckles, in tribute to the late rapper, Tupac Shakur.
The 23-year-old stepped out on Tuesday, dining at posh Giorgio Baldi Ristorante in Santa Monica. The singer was snapped leaving the eatery and showing off the tattoo, written in what appears to be pink ink.

Rihanna posted pics online yesterday to show off her new "Thug Life" knuckle tattoo. It's questionable how deeply the singer is immersed in thug culture, considering she's also sporting a John Lennon shirt in the photos.

Photos have hit the web from heartthrob Liam Hemsworth's recent birthday party, and they feature his girlfriend Miley Cyrus posing with his, um, anatomical birthday cake. While 19-year-old Cyrus's shenanigans are unsurprising, it is odd that Hemsworth would have a giant, phallus-shaped birthday cake.

Though they're separated, it seems a reconciliation between Heidi Klum and Seal is possible.

Rihanna has raised a lot of eyebrows this week with her latest body modification: a tattoo that reads "Thug Life", in honor of late hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. While 'Pac had the words emblazoned across his abdomen, Rihanna opted to write them across her knuckles in what appears to be glow-in-the-dark ink.
Say what you will about whether the pop princess is living the kind of rising-up-from-the-streets life Shakur was honoring by splashing the name of his crew across his stomach, but she joins a long list of musicians who've used body art to pay homage to fallen homeys or musical inspirations.

Riri inked the tattoo in order to pay homage to late rapper Tupac Shakur, who got the same phrase etched on his stomach. The "We Found Love" hitmaker got the eight letters, an acronym for "The hate you give little infants, f***", inked by Mark Mahoney at Shamrock Social Club.
During her visit to the tattoo parlor, Riri bumped into Danny Trejo. Then, she took time to take pictures with the tattoo artist and the "Machete" actor. When posting the pictures in two different tweets, she wrote, "My boo Mark Mahoney!!!! #RockstarShit #TATnight,...

Rihanna's tattoo collection is growing. Early Wednesday (Jan. 25) morning, the pop star tweeted out a pic of her latest, the words "Thug Life" inked in white across her knuckles, apparently in an homage to late rapper Tupac Shakur.
"Tat my f****in name on u girl so I know its real!!! #Mine," tweeted the 23-year-old Barbados-born singer from Hollywood's Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor along with a picture of what looks like her getting a tattoo on her lower back and another of her newly-adorned knuckles. She also posted pics of herself with "Machete" star Danny Trejo, who apparently happened to be visiting the parlor.
In response to some negative reactions from her Twitter fans, RiRi got downright thuggish.
"Err'body has an opinion, but yall know what yall can do with them!!! #Thuglife," she tweets to one.
To another she was a bit more explicit:

On Tuesday (September 13), the 15th anniversary of the day he died at age 25, it is clear that Tupac has transcended hip-hop, held by his generation in the same regard as inspirational musical figures like Bob Marley and John Lennon.
