Overheard At The Cadillac Records Premiere: Akon To Act, Mos Def Has Soft Lips


A lot was learned from Monday’s premiere of Cadillac Records — and not just that Beyonce nails her performance as a tormented Etta James. You see, we had a little spy jotting down observations as stars like Jay-Z, Mos-Def, Diddy, Ne-Yo and Adrien Brody walked the red carpet. The juiciest tidbit of the night: Akon is in talks to land a supporting role in Clint Eastwood‘s upcoming movie about Nelson Mandela. Get all of the gossip by checking out our photo gallery below.

Gabrielle Union's on rumor patrol
The actress smashed claims made my popular urban blog site, MediaTakeOut, calling herself the MediaTakeOut Queen. She said she's not getting married [to Dwayne Wade, who's technically still married], although she didn't deny that she's dating him, as the site has long claimed. She said she did not "out" Beyonce as being 35, as the site claimed she did. She clarified that she remarked once to an interviewer that she's known Beyonce since she was a teenager, NOT since they were teenagers, which would have implied that they're the same age.

She also noted that she's been the significant other of nearly every man in the Cadillac Records, in one project or another, but Mos Def holds the award for the softest lips. (An admittedly convenient answer since he was standing right next to her.)
