Walter Jack Palance 1919 – 2006


His Career

His acting break came as Marlon Brando's understudy in Streetcar Named Desire. He eventually replaced Brando on stage as Stanley Kowalski.

In 1947, Palance made his Broadway debut, followed three years later by his screen debut, in the movie Panic in the Streets (1950). He was quickly recognized for his skill as a character actor, receiving an Academy Award nomination for only his third film role, as Lester Blaine in Sudden Fear.

Jack Palance earned his second Oscar nomination playing cold-blooded gunfighter Jack Wilson in 1953s cinema classic Shane.

The following year, Palance was Oscar-nominated again, for his role as the evil gunfighter Jack Wilson in Shane. Several other Western roles followed, but he would also play such varied roles as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and Attila the Hun.
In 1957, Palance won an Emmy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Mountain McClintock in the Playhouse 90 production of Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight.

Jean-Luc Godard persuaded him to take on the role of Hollywood producer Jeremy Prokosch in the 1963 nouvelle vague movie Le Mépris, with Brigitte Bardot and Michel Piccoli. Although the main dialogue was in French, Palance spoke only English.

While still busy making movies, in the 1980s, Palance also co-hosted (with his daughter Holly Palance), the television series Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Appearing in Young Guns (1988) and Tim Burton's Batman (1989) reinvigorated Palance's career and demand for his services kept him involved in new projects each year right up until the turn of the century.

The Game Leaked His Own Album!


I don't understand how someone who like's to have big dooky-rope chains and the finer things in life would try to kill his own career? Basically, that's what's happening with the game, he's leaking his own album for all to hear....I know Dre has to be mad as hell. Rumor has it that he's been booted from Aftermath anyway, so maybe this is a parting fuck you?

Juvenile Aint For That Kissing Shit!



Juvenile has openly denied that he has kissed the other members of Cash Money when he was at the New Orleans label. Anyway, as you know, Wayne recently said, "Them boys was doing the same [kissing] thing but they just ain't part of the family no more. Everybody from Juve, Geezy (B.G.), Turk...they ain't with us no more."

In an interview with DJ Kay Slay, Juve said, "I look at [Wayne] like a little boy. What kind of cat gonna go on national TV and kiss a cat that ain't his Daddy and call him his Daddy. And for all you cats out that that think we be kissin,' that's how we get along, we don't rock like that. I don't know what kind of picture they were trying to paint. This ain't no Mafia. Cash Money wasn't no Mafia. And you definitely wasn't a mob boss so I don't know where the whole kissing situation came in. I'm gonna get rich of punishing Cash Money. That's my game."

And shout out to the homey in the back of Hot 97's studio (I couldn't make out your face). YEP, this is going to be on AllHipHop.com tomorrow (which is today). Click here for the video and a clue as to what I'm talking about!

In closing, Juvie requested a fair one from Baby. No bodyguards, no guns..a fair one. I can respect a fair one in this era of cowards.
