The Game is about to be the latest rapper to change his name, according to recent reports.

The Game will now be known merely as “Game,” according to a recent story by dubcnn.com.

According to the site, Game has dumped “the” from his moniker to be displayed on his next CD, The R.E.D. Album. No other reason was given for the change.

The musical venture is expected to feature Timbaland, Pharrell and singer Chris Brown. Akon, Diddy, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel are among the others on the opus.

The R.E.D. Album is expected to drop on December 8.

Just a few days after it was reported that Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are in the running to star in George Miller's fourth Mad Max movie, The Daily Telegraph says that work on the film will start immediately and that filming will take place in Sydney and Outback NSW.

The newspaper says that a lot of the work will be done at Redfern's CarriageWorks and there will also be 30 weeks of filming in Broken Hill. It is estimated the whole project will take two-and-a-half years to complete.

Miller said: "The production agreements have been a long time in the making and Premier Rees and his team have worked like Trojans to ensure this substantial investment comes into this country. Not only does it help fuel the local economy but it means many talented people get a chance to practice their craft and lift their skills."

CarriageWorks will be used for the development work for the film, as well as Miller's Happy Feet 2

Columbia Pictures has hired Billy Ray (upcoming Gears of War and Motorcade) to write the script for its Somali pirate film based on true events.

The untitled project centers on captain Richard Phillips, who was held hostage by four Somali pirates and was subsequently rescued by a group of Navy SEALs.

The studio picked up the captain's life rights in May as well as optioned the film rights to his upcoming memoir, "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs and Five Dangerous Days."

Michael De Luca, Kevin Spacey, Dana Brunetti and Scott Rudin are producing.

RAPPERS AND MUSICIANS TO SUE THE GOVERNMENT?

Now, this is a rumor of a different sort, but check it out, because it is actually dead up serious. I am hearing that a group of musicians are getting together to sue the American Government. Why? Because the government has used popular music to torture detainees at Guantanamo Bay. From what I get is that the artists are getting a full list of the songs via the Freedom of Information Act. These groups suing reportedly include Eminem, Rage Against the Maching and even The Roots. I heard all of these acts are very upset that their music was used in "crimes against humanity." From what I hear, they are having some difficulty getting the names of the songs as the basis for the legal bout.

Anyway, Guantanamo Bay might be closed in the near future. Obama is moving closer to closing it, but is running into numerous problems.

HIP-HOP COP LIKES LIL WAYNE?

I am not trying to be funny, I promise. But, it is my understanding that the original Hip-Hop Cop went to bat for Lil Wayne and tried to get him off on this gun charge. You better believe these charges are bogus. Yeah, I said it, “THESE CHARGES ARE BOGUS AGAINST LIL WAYNE.” Lil Wayne is basically a fall guy, because he is the biggest name in the van. On top of that, I am hearing that these dudes were totally profiled and there was no real reason for the cops to pull them over in the first place. On the flip side, what was in the van was in the van. Nevertheless, Wayne is going down for a gun that’s not his.
