AHH Stray News: Ludacris 'No Strings Attached', Swizz Hacked, Chali 2na Tours

The movie No Strings Attached starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, hit #1 at the box office this weekend, raking in over $20 million dollars over the weekend. The romantic comedy, which centers around an emergency worker (Portman) and a rich man's son (Kutcher), who decide to have sex but not have a relationship. During the movie, they decide they want more than a physical relationship. Atlanta rapper Ludacris has a high profile role as "Wallace" in No Strings Attached, which also stars Jake Johnson, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Kline and Lake Bell. Ludacris thanked his fans in a series of tweets earlier today (January 23rd). QUOTE.

Swizz Beatz' Twitter account was briefly hijacked on Sunday (January 22nd) when mischievous pranksters gained access to his account. The culprit sent out a variety of tweets under Swizz' name about Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Swizz' ex-Mashonda and the joy of participating in "orgies." The unknown individual spared the producer of any real damage to the account and Swizz regained control of his account in minutes. Swizz is the latest victim of a phishing scam that has resulted in the accounts of Ja Rule and Lil Wayne's accounts being compromised. Both artists regained control of their accounts, but Lil Wayne has since closed his LilTuneChi account, which had almost 1.5 million followers.
