Erica Mena Addresses Rumors That She's Releasing Solo Sex Tape

Image
Following in the footsteps of  Love & Hip Hop's Mimi Faust and Nikko sex tape , reports have come in from HollywoodLife.com that claim that the feisty Erica Mena may be next in line to release a freaky flick.  The alleged tape is apparently a solo video of sexy Erica performing "ALL kinds of freaky stuff alone."  The rumor began after MediaTakeOut.com reported that the alleged video was stolen and sent to Vivid to consider releasing it to the public.  Vivid, the company who is responsible for Mimi and Nikko's sex tape reaching a record of $400,000 in pre-sales alone, has allegedly been in contact with Erica to see if she would be interested in striking a deal with them and earning some serious profits off of her private pleasure work. However, after HollywoodLife.com reached out to Erica's team, doubt was cast upon any truth to the rumors. "I know nothing about this," stated one of Erica's reps to HollywoodLife.com.  Erica later   spoke to Big Ti

Producer: Tupac Biopic Will be More Realistic Than "Notorious"

Image
The life of Tupac Shakur was a complicated one that fans have been waiting to see hit the big screen for years. Well, according to an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, film exec and friend of 'Pac L.T Hutton says the Tupac biopic should hit theatres next year. While they're still perfecting the cast, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. The story will be directed by John Singleton, which is fitting as he directed Tupac himself in Poetic Justice and intended to have 'Pac star in Baby Boy before he passed. The movie is being produced by Morgan Creek Productions and Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films in association with Open Road Films and Program Pictures. As Program Picture's CEO, Hutton was a big part of putting it all together and also spent time with 'Pac while working at Death Row in the '90s. He shared that everyone who was involved in 'Pac's life has been consulted to make it as authentic as possible, including his mother Afeni Shakur, Dr.Dr

Shocker! Nobody uses Samsung bloatware

Image
If you used a Samsung app recently it was possibly a mis-click, according to a Strategy Analytics  survey of 250-plus Galaxy S3 and S4 users. While Samsung recently  trumpeted  100 million users for ChatOn, for instance, the report said US users spent a mere six seconds per month on the app, compared to, say, 151 minutes on Instagram. The rest of the suite fared little better, with users spending no more than seven minutes per month on all its apps combined. By contrast, users stayed on Facebook for 11 hours and Google's three most popular apps for 150 minutes on average. If accurate, that would be a stinging rebuke, given that Samsung's apps are pre-installed on most of its devices and can't be removed  easily  -- unless, ironically, you're in its  home country .

Google Street View now serves as your own personal time machine

Image
In the seven years since Google launched Maps, it's collected a ton of imaging and location data, which we've only been able to see in its most recent form. That's about to change, however, after the company announced  it's opening all of that information up, allowing you to go back and see how much each of its locations have adapted during that period. Starting today, Google says it will begin rolling out the new future across its desktop Maps service, adding a new clock icon to Street View images. Once clicked, you can move a slider and select the different thumbnails of a location in a particular space in time. You'll see skyscrapers go up, houses come down, or maybe even witness the rebuilding efforts of a community affected by a natural disaster. There's no word on whether it'll make its way beyond the desktop, so for now you'll likely only be able to procrastinate from the comfort of your home computer or office. Engadget

You can take your Sprint phone to other US carriers next year

Image
If you're with Sprint, you don't have many options for unlocking your phone's SIM card slot; if you can do it at all, you're limited to service on foreign networks. You'll have far more flexibility in the near future, though. The carrier has  revealed that it will unlock devices for American use starting with those launched on or after February 11th, 2015. The move will let you use SIM-based features (such as LTE data) on AT&T, T-Mobile and other US providers as long as your device supports the right frequencies. Sprint's prepaid brands, including Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, will also offer the added freedom. The move isn't a complete surprise when Sprint had committed to unlocking phones as part of the  CTIA's Consumer Code . Still, this is a big step toward having real choices among US carriers. If you're unhappy with Sprint's service next year, there's a real chance that you'll get to jump ship without having to ditch your hand

Savage Chicago Man Kicks in Door to Rape 4-Year-Old Girl

The twisted mind of 27-year-old Demetrio Campbell drove him into full-out predator mode as he kicked in a door and allegedly raped a 4-year-old girl last week.  The little girl and her sister were playing outside of a Calumet Park home in Cook County, Illinois, where Campbell tried to lure both the 4-year-old and her older sister away from the house they were in front of.   However they refused and instead ran inside the home and locked the door, but their attempts to keep Mr. Campbell away from them was futile as he chased after them and kicked the door in and attacked them.  There were two people inside of the home when Campbell burst in, and he ordered one of them to leave.  The person who left phoned the police, however they were too late to save the little girl, for he allegedly raped her inside of a bedroom. Police found Campbell was smoking a cigarette inside of a closet when they arrived at the home.  His grandfather, Charles Campbell, reported that his grandson has a history o

After Nick and Iggy took to Twitter to defend themselves and deny it was them in the pic, the actual couple who snapped the shot came out on Twitter and clarified the confusion.  The girl in the photo goes by the name of @KittenChloe on Twitter, with the name of her profile being "Ba$ed Booty."  Meanwhile, her male companion, @No_Trucks, has since changed his name to "IM NOT SWAGGY P" on Twitter.  They both apologized to Nick and Iggy, who weren't mad at all about the mix-up as Iggy actually gave them props for th

Samsung Galaxy S5 comes late to Verizon, but on a 2-for-1 deal

Image
Verizon often takes its sweet time getting the latest phones, and Samsung's new alpha dog, the  Galaxy S5 , is no exception --  AT&T ,  T-Mobile  and  Sprint  all nabbed it first. However, at least Big Red's sweetening the pot on the 5.1-inch, Full HD, Snapdragon 801-equipped handset. While it's now on pre-order at $200 for a two year deal or $600  sans  contract, you can get a second GS5 (or other select models) for "free." The only catch is that you'll need to sign up for another two-year plan, so the phone is essentially half-price with two contracts. Still, you'd be able to chuckle at your Windows Phone-using pals, who'd pay the same price for essentially  last year's model . Engadget
