Lil Wayne: Sex Columnist, Thespian, Not Guilty Pleader
"He used to be all about the hustle and the green," some silly person over at VH1.com writes of Lil Wayne, "but these days our boy is dispensing information about the wild thing, too." Ah, yes, they must mean "Lollipop", the fascinatingly terrible chart-topper from Mr. Carter's forthcoming (probably) opus Tha Carter III. "'Lollipop,' the saucy single that's currently rocking the top of the charts suggests that a good romantic relationship is always enhanced by a good physical relationship."
Really? I thought the song was about delicious candy!
But no! It is, in fact, about doing it! And, since talking about doing it comes so naturally to the self-proclaimed "pussy monster," it seems our friend Wayne is currently seeking submissions of queries regarding "love and sex" for a new advice column called "Ask Weezy" he'll be doing for VH1's website. For the next week and a half, you can put your burning questions to Wayne, who'll then proceed to get stoned and tape his responses for airing later in May. We expect a lot of giggling, and perhaps a freestyle verse matching "cup fulla slurpies" with "outbreak of herpes."
But hurry! Wayne already has 1264 questions, and it's only four days into the questioning.
In other news from the wide (weird) world of Wayne, he's set to feature fairly prominently in a new film, Patriots, according to Billboard.com. The New Orleans basketball drama also stars Forest Whitaker and Bow Wow. And earlier today, Wayne pleaded not guilty to charges related to his January arrest in Yuma, Arizona for possession of drugs and weapons. He's due back in court on June 19. (Via MTV.com)
To our knowledge, Tha Carter III is still dropping in June, complete with that fly-from-birth cover art. And Wayne's still got all those shows on the way, with the next in Owensboro, Kentucky Thursday night.
