The Game News

Stars including Cheryl Tweedy and Amy Winehouse have waded into the ‘Size Zero’ debate – with the Girls Aloud babe insisting that expectations heaped on young women are ‘unrealistic’.

Geordie beauty Cheryl told MTV documentary The Perfect Body? - to be shown tonight - that magazine pictures are not a true representation of how stars look.

The MTV show asked viewers to vote on what they thought was the perfect female body. And the results were a damning rejection of the current trend for painfully thin models. It saw 35 per cent of MTV viewers choose a size 10 female with 34B bust as having the best body. Only 4 per cent considered a size six female as representing the most attractive figure.

The Game is going to be a father again.

In a recent interview with rapper Mistah F.A.B. on the San Francisco radio station Wild 94.9, Game revealed that he is expecting another son in two months.

"Got another one on the way, man, droppin' in April," Game said. "King Justice."

King Justice will join Harlem Caron, Game's son who will turn 4 in June.

"Gotta hold it down for my fam, man," Game said. "Two kids. And just keep pushin'."

The Game's gotten a good taste of the road and is ready to pound the pavement for some more.

The Compton-based rapper and his party posse just got finished playing four sold-out shows in the Los Angeles area in support of his latest smash album, Doctor's Advocate, and are ready to hit more cities in the United States plus a swing through Canada.

After The Game's dates in Orlando and Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 10 and Feb. 11, The Game will travel to the West Coast of Canada for a big day in Vancouver, B.C., on March 1, when he’ll play two shows –- one at the Croatian Cultural Center and one at Plush Night Club.

From there, it'll be off to Toronto for a gig at The Docks Entertainment Complex on March 2, a show in Windsor, Ont., on March 3, and performances in Edmonton, Alberta, on March 5 and Calgary on March 6.

Here are the latest dates, for which tickets are on sale now:

03/01 - Vancouver, B.C. at Croatian Cultural Center and Plush Night Club
03/02 - Toronto, Ontario at The Docks Entertainment Complex
03/03 - Windsor, Ontario at Dirty's Lounge
03/05 - Edmonton, Alberta at Rum Jungle
03/06 - Calgary, Alberta at The Corral Stampede

Southern rappers have been dominating the genre for several years now, but The Game is doing his best to spark a West Coast rap scene that's been short on new stars since the death of Tupac Shakur in 1996.

As the tall, Compton-based rapper sauntered onto the stage at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Thursday, he paid homage to the Southern California street look made famous by Eazy-E and N.W.A in the late 1980s, sporting a black Dickies shirt and pants, a black Dodgers hat and black Chuck Taylors.

L.A. rapper The Game entered a not guilty plea to charges of impersonating a police officer in a New York court yesterday (January 31).

As SOHH previously reported, The Game (born Jayceon Taylor) was arrested on November 16 on charges that he pretended to be a police officer after hailing a cab and flashing a fake badge to his driver. New York City prosecutors claim the rapper told the driver he was an undercover officer and encouraged him to run several red stoplights on Lexington Avenue before being pulled over.

According to Game's lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, who spoke to the New York Post, the charges are false and his client, who is constantly followed by hip hop police, is the real victim.

"The police are harassing him," Lichtman said. " They don't even have a witness - no supporting deposition. It will be a slam-dunk acquittal or dismissal, it's up to the D.A."

A representative for the New York Police Department responded to Litchman's claims saying, "If he feels he's being harassed, he should file a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board."

The Game, who admitted earlier this year that he was aware he was being followed, released a statement in November declaring his innocence and citing the incident as "a ploy by the hip-hop police to humiliate" him.
