McLaren’s MP4-12C sports car, which was introduced 2 years ago, is finally nearing its availability date and the price has been set at ($229,000). The luxury car company hasn’t released a new car model since the release of the popular SLR back in 2003, which they built in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Powered with a twin-turbocharged V8 M838T engine that outputs 592 horsepower, the MP4-12C goes from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 220 mph.

JAY-Z, WILL & JADA SMITH FORMING NEW FILM COMPANY
Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and their partners at Overbrook Entertainment have formed a joint-venture with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter to develop and produce major motion pictures. First up? A remake of the Broadway musical “Annie,” in which Will and Jada’s daughter, Willow — who recently signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label — will star in.
Although the project is in its preliminary stages, it will be developed with Sony Pictures Entertainment and produced by Overbrook and Jay.
The partnership between Will and Jada and Jay-Z began when the three decided to invest in the beauty line Carol’s Daughter. Their next venture together was when they joined forces again to co-produce the Broadway play “Fela!” Since then, Willow, who is managed by Overbrook’s Miguel Melendez, has signed to Roc Nation and released first single “Whip My Hair.”
“The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified vision. We’ve already produced a Tony Award-winning play and we’re developing a true superstar in Willow,” said Jay-Z in a statement. “This venture into film development and production is a perfect next step with teams that are accomplished, creative and innovative.”

“It’s true. That’s my wife and I’m her husband and we gonna continue to make positive things happen,” Brown told Hip Hop Non Stop TV in the locker room at a recent basketball game.
The couple, who fictitiously wed in Monica’s video for “Love All Over Me,” exchanged vows in a private ceremony last fall after announcing their engagement in October. This is the first marriage for both. Monica has two sons, five-year-old Rodney and three-year-old Romelo, from a previous relationship with Atlanta rapper Rodney “Rocko” Hill.
Monica has been in and out of the studio recording her next album.
