The Game Will Put Off Retirement For Dre
THE GAME has cast doubt over his plans to retire from the rap game - insisting he would consider making a fourth album if he can get his former mentor DR. DRE on board.
In recent months, the Dreams hitmaker has repeatedly declared he will quit his music career after the release of his new album LAX this summer (08).
Just last week (ends13Jun08), The Game - real name Jayceon Taylor - admitted he's had enough of life on the road and wants to dedicate more time to family matters.
But now the rapper appears to be changing his mind about hanging up the mic - if he can bring together several hip-hop heavyweights from his native Compton, California for the record.
He says: "If I do come back with another album, it'll be called The D.O.C.
"It'll have 10 songs on it. It won't have titles, it'll just be Chapter One through Ten, and (it stands for) The Diary of Compton.
"The only way that I'll do The D.O.C. or comeback to do that album is if I can get (former NWA rapper) Ren, King Tee, (Dr.) Dre, (Ice) Cube, because I don't want any features except people who've been through Compton and really made their mark.
"If I can make The Diary of Compton happen, and can get Dre to executive produce that, then you'll see a fourth album."
And if The Game's plans don't come into fruition, he is happy enough just spending time with his two sons - Harlem, four, and King, one.
He adds, "If not, you'll see me driving by the park in California, you'll see me throwing balls with my kids, that's it."
Meanwhile, his third album LAX has been pushed back for the second time - the disc will now hit stores in the U.S. on 22 July (08), instead of 8 July (08).

Steve Mcqueen - Mcqueens Widow Urges Swayze To Live It Up
STEVE MCQUEEN's widow has urged ailing movie star PATRICK SWAYZE to get the most out of life as he battles pancreatic cancer - because there's no guarantee medication will help.
Barbara MCQueen insists "miracle cures" won't save Swayze and could make what's left of his life miserable.
Now 54, Barbara can still remember her late husband's cancer battle, which ended with his death in 1980 - and she is offering advice to one of her favourite actors as he fights the disease.
Barbara tells America's Globe, "It (MCQueen's cancer battle) was the worst thing I've ever been through... Tell Patrick not to go there.
"It was weird stuff, very unconventional. They tried all kinds of strange things.
"Patrick Swayze should kick up his heels with his beloved wife and have fun while he's fighting his desperate battle with cancer."
But Swayze insists the treatment he is getting is taking effect and he is "responding well" to it.
Swayze confirmed he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the beginning of 2008.

The Jonas Brothers to star in 3-D concert film
NEW YORK (AP) --
The Jonas Brothers will be shown in all their 3-D glory next year in a movie featuring footage from their upcoming "Burning Up" concert tour.
The singing sensations, who make tweens dissolve into giggles, appeared this year in fellow Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus' successful 3-D concert film, directed by Bruce Hendricks. It collected $31.3 million in its opening weekend in February. Hendricks will direct the brothers' movie.
"More than just a concert, this film will take moviegoers inside the band's creative process, and present them in a very intimate and entertaining way," Walt Disney Studios President Oren Aviv said Tuesday.
The tour begins July 4 in Toronto and winds across the U.S. before closing Aug. 31 in Essex Junction, Vt.
In a statement, brothers Kevin, Joe and Nick said: "We can't wait to start working on this film for our fans. It's going to be awesome and we really want to bring a totally unique and different movie experience to everyone whether they've seen us live or not."

West Wing - Sheen Honoured For Humanitarian Work
WEST WING star MARTIN SHEEN has been honoured for his role as a peace activist and for his humanitarian work.
The 67-year-old actor was awarded the Laetare Medal by the University of Notre Dame in Indiana - the prize is the school's top honour and is bestowed on a Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church, and enriched the heritage of humanity".

And the star insists his charity work is more important to him than his career.
He says, "While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive."

(Corrects last name of reviewer from Warden to Walden in
paragraph 18)
By Michelle Nichols
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Do Carrie and Mr. Big marry or don't
they? That is the question "Sex and the City" fans hope is
answered when the long-awaited film about love and friendship
in New York City hits theaters worldwide this week.
Writer Carrie's relationship with a financier known as Big,
the love lives, and fashion choices, of her friends --
publicist Samantha, curator Charlotte and lawyer Miranda --
enthralled millions of television viewers during six seasons.
And now four years after the series ended they are back
with fans desperate to know the fate of Carrie and Mr. Big.
"Those people who like the show will expect the joy and the
good times and the whimsy and the clothes and the cocktails and
the salty language," said actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who
plays Carrie and also produced the movie and TV series.
"But what they might not expect is that the shank of the
movie is pretty sad," she said.
Based on Candace Bushnell's autobiographical columns in The
New York Observer newspaper, the TV series won eight Golden
Globes and seven Emmys and made Manolo Blahnik shoes and the
Cosmopolitan cocktail household names.
The movie picks up where the series ended -- Carrie and Big
are together, Samantha is in Los Angeles with her boy toy,
Charlotte and her husband are raising their adopted Chinese
daughter and Miranda is in Brooklyn with her husband and son.

Murphy Axed From Disney Gig
Brittany Murphy has been dropped by Disney movie studio executives from the forthcoming Tinker Bell film, according to online reports. Murphy, 30, was hired in 2006 to provide the voice of Tinker Bell in an upcoming animated film about the beloved Peter Pan fairy, but has since allegedly been replaced by 19-year-old Mae Whitman. Murphy's acting career has stalled in recent years, with the star receiving more press attention for her personal life - including her 2007 secret wedding to Simon Monjack - than for her film roles. No explanation was given by Disney for Murphy's departure.

Dick Martin - Us Tv Comedian Dick Martin Dies
American comedian-turned-director DICK MARTIN has passed away at the age of 86.
He died early Saturday evening (24May08) surrounded by family and friends, after suffering from respiratory complications at a hospital in Santa Monica, California, according to the star's spokesperson Barry Greenberg.
Martin enjoyed a career spanning 40 years, but was perhaps best known for his role as co-host of the hit 1960s TV series Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In.
The variety show debuted in January 1968, winning over both audiences and critics and topping the Nielsen TV ratings charts for two years. The show, which featured song-and-dance segments and stand-up banter between Rowan and Martin, helped launch the careers of several young actors and comedians, including Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, Henry Gibson and Jo Anne Worley.
Hollywood stars John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, as well as then-presidential hopeful Richard Nixon, also made brief appearances on the show before it was cancelled in 1973.
Martin later moved on to directing, following the advice of fellow comic and actor Bob Newhart. He quickly established himself as one of Hollywood's most hard-working TV directors, working on episodes of Newhart, In The Heat Of The Night, Archie Bunker's Place and Family Ties.
Martin is survived by his wife Dolly Read and two sons from his first marriage to Peggy Connelly: actor Richard Martin and Cary Martin. At his request, there will be no funeral.
