ICECUBE: Hip-hop edition, featuring T.I., the Black Eyed Peas, Damon Feldman and more

Tony Luke Jr. and T.I. at the premiere of Takers

Sure T.I. and Ice Cube took the plane to Philly together but when these two rap-n-cinema magnates hit the ground, they never laid eyes on each other again. T.I. walked a red carpet at Le Ritz East on Sunday so to promote his newest film, Takers (in area theaters next Friday). T.I. was lucky enough to meet up with another snazzy film star — Tony Luke Jr., of The Nail and Eagles TV fame (not to mention the whose cheesesteak thing). Cube, in town, to hawk his new flick The Lottery Ticket (also out next Friday), didn't have a Luke to lean on. Instead he was spied at McDonald's on Arch Street near the Convention Center. That's just cold. Before Tip and Cube even hit Philly, the Black Eyed Peas were all over Atlantic City where Will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo took turns on the steel wheels at Dusk last Saturday night at their official afterparty. Taboo even got on the mic and rocked a couple verses of "Boom Boom Pow" with apl.de.ap in an impromptu performance. The trio invited fans to join them at their table drinking Grey Goose and Bacardi cocktails.

As for our other hip-hop friends, there was DJ A.J. Khubani, president/CEO of TeleBrands — aka, the originators of the "As Seen on TV" logo — at the Marriott Residence Inn hanging with inventive Philadelphians pitching their goods and MC Bradley Cooper who was spied hanging at the Palm, not so much spitting rhymes as having a nosh. What will WHOWHATWHERE hip-hop look like in the immediate future? Let's ask D-to-the-F Damon Feldman what he's gonna do to Michael Lohan on September 17. "I am going to kick Michael Lohan's ass," writes Feldman in a letter to Lindsay's pop. "[Lohan] accused me of hooking up with Kate [Major, Lohan's then fiancÃ©e]) You left me crazy messages and you showed up at an event and tried to crash it. I could have ended it there. I thought you were a friend, but now we can resolve it all in the ring. You think you are a tough guy with pushing everyone around in the media, well now you can take it out on me. I saw the true you when you left me a nasty message about me and Kate and more and when you tried to sneak me at the event last week. So be a MAN and accept the challenge. The media says you beat Kate, well now try beating me. THIS is not a PUBLICITY stunt." Lastly, loverman Harry Jay Katz gave me alone the date of his wedding to Debra Renee Cruz whose engagement we announced in July: December 22, 2010. Stay tuned for rice throwing locations.
