The music world is mourning the loss of Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys. Yauch, 47, was a self taught vocalist and bassist. In the 80’s, he ruled the charts as a member of The Beastie Boys with hits like Brass Monkey, Hey Ladies, Get It Together, Sure Shot and (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party).

In more realty show news, get ready for Basketball Wives…. the movie! Shaunie O’Neal, the force behind the VH1 reality show, is in talks with Producer Tracey Edmonds (Soul Food) to do a basketball movie. O’Neal is under pressure because of the criticism surrounding her Basketball Wives shows, so she is looking in a new direction. The reality show has come under fire because off all the negativity and fighting. There is already a petition 7,000 strong calling for a boycott of the show and star Evelyn Lozada, who is seen as the main bully on the show. Tami Roman also stars on the show, and she says it’s the producers’ fault because of how they edit the show. Roman’s exploits on the show (fighting and drinking) are well documented. Don’t be surprised if Basketball Wife Jennifer Williams is dropped from the show. Williams is suing the show’s producers regarding an incident where she was slapped on camera by Lozada’s assistant, Nia Crooks. The producers may counter sue Williams regarding her lawsuit because they feel her badmouthing the show is hurting the brand.

Many feel his personal life got in the way of his dancing abilities on the show. His baby momma went to the press about past abuse from him.
