Sean Penn has one more critic to contend with.

At a concert in New York on Friday, Wyclef Jean suggested the actor’s recreational drug use led to him criticizing the singer’s presidential bid in Haiti, mtv.com reports.

Penn told Larry King last month that he worried the singer’s campaign was simply "about a vision of flying around the world, talking to people."

As David Poland correctly predicted just a week ago, Lionsgate has moved the newest Tyler Perry film, For Colored Girls, from its original January 14th, 2011 slot into the heart of the awards season. It will now open wide on November 5th, which is incidentally the same weekend that Precious (which Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey put their names on after the fact to insure a Lionsgate distribution) debuted in limited release, wracking up a record $108,000 per each of its eighteen screens.

Idris Elba, looking as cool and virile as the fictional Baltimore drug lord whom he so memorably played on the acclaimed HBO series "The Wire," winces at the mention of the s-word.

Shortly before his death in 1991, Miles Davis remarked “You don’t change music, music changes you.” While that statement is unassailable regarding the vast majority of artists, no matter how influential, Miles Davis was definitely an exception. Indeed, the Man with the Horn was being uncharacteristically modest, and he knew it. He did, after all, actually change music several times, and he was normally the first person to remind doubters and neophytes of this fact. His ultimate achievement—beyond the staggering scope of his recorded works—may have been providing a forum where the best players could congregate. In this creative cauldron that he tended to over the better part of four decades, Miles served as inventor, instigator and mentor. The list of legends that cut their teeth in his employ remains astounding: John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and John McLaughlin, just to name a handful.

Ex-Fugees singer says she is excited about the future, after spending more than a decade out of the spotlight

Lauryn Hill is "getting closer" to releasing a new album, she said this weekend. At one of her first American gigs in years, the ex-Fugees singer said she is "excited about what the future holds". Twelve years after the release of her first – and only – solo studio album, "it's time", she said.

Hill played all four dates of this summer's Rock the Bells festival tour, performing a mix of tracks from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Fugees songs. Performing alongside guests such as Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and Mary J Blige – not to mention Hill's children – she brought a new, "jazz-like" approach to much of the old material.
