'Chronicles of Riddick' New Movie Shut Down -- No Money, Mo' Problems



Vin Diesel's comeback as an ass-kicking ex-con from the future is on hold ... because production on the new "Chronicles of Riddick" movie has been shut down over some serious cash flow issues.

TMZ spoke with Michel Trudel -- the owner of the Montreal studio where the new movie is being shot -- who tells us he changed the locks and kicked everyone off the set Wednesday because the production company, One Race Films, has failed to pay up on time.

FYI -- One Race Films was founded by Vin Diesel ... who is also set to produce and star in the upcoming flick.

But Trudel isn't the only one griping about a paycheck -- sources connected to production tell us several members of the crew have not been paid in over 2 weeks ... and are very concerned about getting their money.

Trudel tells us he's confident the situation will be resolved soon ... and he's more than happy to let production resume ... as soon as he gets his money.

Calls to Diesel's camp were not returned.

Kim K's Hubby I Was Robbed Blind by My Wedding Guest!!


Kim Kardashian's husband claims he was bilked out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by a guy he invited to his wedding ... a guy who's been arrested for allegedly running a $1.7 million investment scam.

Andrey C. Hicks was a guest at Kim and Kris Humphries televised wedding bonanza in August ... and sat right behind the happy couple during the rehearsal dinner.

But TMZ has learned ... after the wedding, Kris learned Andrey was a target in a federal investigation in which he's suspected of raising money for a purported billion dollar hedge fund ... that didn't really exist.

Officials believe Andrey lied to several investors -- including Kris -- telling them, among other things, that he was a Harvard graduate ... when in fact, he was kicked out of the University after 3 semesters for crappy grades. Officials say Andrey only took 1 math class at Harvard ... and got a D-.

Officials claim 27-year-old Hicks stole $1.7 million from various investors ... and sources close to Kris tell us the NBA star accounted for hundreds of thousands of dollars himself.

Hicks was arrested in Canada on Friday and charged with wire fraud. Officials believe he was trying to flee to Switzerland. If convicted, Hicks could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

What’s D’banj talking about? I didn’t date Genevieve Nnaji but at the end we understand that things couldn’t work out


Recently, Nigerian music megastar D’banj granted an interview to Vanguard newspapers. Below are excerpts from the interview.

D’banj says:

“I really can’t remember, it cost between N4m to N5m, I ‘m not too sure. But I think it’s a beautiful idea if not for the way everyone is trying to go about it. I think Genevieve is a stunner I could date or love her. But we didn’t date. She’s my friend and a star you know. We’re close and we both understand that things couldn’t work out.

That song was recorded two years before the video was released and it remains my biggest song ever. I wanted to make a statement with it.

We had options of whom to use in the video, but at the end of the day, we saw that it’s an African song and by that time I had already played it in about fifty weddings.”

Hmmm… so if D’banj didn’t date Genevieve as he claims, then what thing did they understand couldn’t work out? We’re at lost here.

Jennifer Lopez Breaks Down in Tears Over Break Up


Jennifer Lopez began crying on stage during a concert in Connecticut Saturday night ... breaking down while introducing the song "If You Had My Love" ... and telling the crowd, "A lot has changed since then."

Lopez was performing at the Mohegan Sun casino ... when things became emotional and the singer -- who recently split from hubby #3 Marc Anthony -- began to tear up in front of the crowd.

FYI -- "If You Had My Love" was released in 1999 ... right around the time Lopez was dating Diddy ... who was still going by the name Puff Daddy at the time.

After Lopez rocked out an acoustic version of the song, she told the crowd, "I took a trip down memory lane."

Lopez announced her split with Anthony back in July -- they have 2 children together.

Everybody Loves Ice Prince [Album Review]


So the mantra around town is Everybody Loves Ice Prince. The third rapper in the Choc Boy collective has finally dropped his much anticipated debut album popularly abbreviated as ELI. In exactly a year Ice Prince Zamani has gone from obscurity to national fame after he dropped his colossal single ‘Oleku’ followed by a less successful but equally commercial follow up single ‘Super Star’

So what does this pop star’s debut album sound like? Well for one thing, Ice Prince is ambitious. Being one of today’s pop acts, Ice constructs records that lean towards the popular demographic than the rap crowd where he sprouted from. When his stars align the songs hit their mark. ‘Juju’ orchestrated by label mate and singer/producer Jesse Jagz has a tinge of Afrobeat in it and sees Ice rhyming about fake friends. ‘Wassup Wassup’ feat 2face is another of these songs as Ice Prince borrows Wizkid’s flow on the track. ‘By This Time’ featuring highlife favourite Wizboyy is a track concocted with Eastern Nigerian in mind with its heavy highlife influence.

It’s not all of Ice Prince’s experiments that work. ‘Baby’ is a deliberate attempt to cash in on the new highlife fever in the country and not a very good one at that. ‘Olofofo’ featuring pop sensation Wizkid is paper weight at best and ‘End of Story’ featuring Samklef gives off the ‘been there-heard that’ feel that now lurks in his rehashed beats.

Another ‘Achilles heel’ of Ice Prince is his might I say ‘cheesy lines’. In a bid to impress with his wordplay he goofs by kicking some head-scratching lines. While this can be noticed in the album, the major culprit of this is Magician featuring Yung L & J Milla.

Despite these flaws, ELI is an LP with some solid tracks to its name. ‘Find You’ is a sober track dedicated to his dead parents. Ice’s youngest sister talks at the end of the song which makes it very gripping and emotional. ‘Somebody Lied’ speaks on his determination to make it in Lagos and the broken promises of the democratic government.

Overall Ice Prince has ended up delivering a debut that shoots for the stars. While not reaching its target he has however placed himself in the galaxy Nigeria’s rising pop stars.
