Ke$ha snagged four of the biggest rappers in the game for the latest remix of her Cannibal track "Sleazy." After getting Andre 3000 on a 1.0 remix, Ke$ha and producer Dr. Luke upped the ante for "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier" by adding Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and T.I. to the mix.

"These were all kind of on my wish list of people to work with in the future," she told MTV News on Friday (December 16) about the remix, which was released earlier this week. "Dr. Luke and I had this idea that we wanted to just get them all on one track and make it as gangster of a track as we possibly could. It was kind of a little bit of a mission, and the fact that we pulled it off just in time for Christmas — I'm stoked about it."

Ke$ha said it was "totally a process" trying to get some of the busiest guys in the music industry to make time for the song.

"When I first got Andre 3000 on it, that was a dream come true ... then it was Lil Wayne. Then it was Wiz Khalifa. And each one of them it was like a victory," she said. Weezy was working in the same studio as the pop star, so she "bum-rushed" him to talk about the remix. "We got to talking, and he asked me what my sign was and we realized we could make some sick music together."

Once T.I. was onboard, Ke$ha knew it was time for them to put it out."Finally it was like, 'OK, that's pretty f---ing gangster ... mission accomplished.' "

And Ke$ha says she couldn't be happier with the finished product. "You can really tell they put their best into their lyrics. I'm really proud of the remix 'cause I feel like everyone is really f---ing going for it," she said. "All of their verses are really incredible."

What is filming like on Keeping Up with the Kardashians? “I used to be really shy around the cameras when we started filming. But I think Kylie and I are both used to it now. It’s normal for us.”

Was she nervous for her runway debut? Yes. But: "Once I got out there, I felt more comfortable. When the lights are up, you can’t really see the audience, which made it a little better. I had a lot of fun. I want to do it again.”

Italy's Monti faces confidence vote on austerity (Reuters)

ROME (Reuters) ? Italy's government faces a confidence vote in parliament on Friday, a move to speed up approval of a 33-billion euro ($43 billion) austerity package intended to restore market confidence in the euro zone's third largest economy.

Mario Monti's government of unelected technocrats has an overwhelming majority in both houses of parliament and the vote, to be held in the Chamber of Deputies in the afternoon, should pass easily.

The austerity plan will then move to the Senate, where a similar vote is expected to be held before Christmas, marking the final passage of a decree law that went into effect on December 4 but needed parliamentary approval within 60 days.

Monti's government was appointed last month to face a collapse in market confidence that put Italy at the heart of the euro zone debt crisis. He has raced to push through the package of tax hikes, spending cuts and pension reform aimed at meeting Italy's goal of balancing its budget in 2013.

However, analysts say rising borrowing costs and the prospect of a fast-deepening recession still threaten to undermine Italy's fiscal consolidation efforts.

The government resorted to confidence votes to curtail debate on dozens of amendments to the law, many of them tabled by the opposition Northern League party.

Monti's predecessor, Silvio Berlusconi, had urged a confidence vote, saying his PDL party -- the biggest in parliament -- would support the government out of a sense of responsibility, not because it agrees with all the sacrifices being asked of Italians.

RECESSION

Both Berlusconi's PDL and the centre-left Democratic Party have misgivings about parts of the bill but cannot sabotage the government for fear of unleashing an economic catastrophe that probably would lead to Italy defaulting on its debt.

Underlining the depth of the crisis, the main employers' lobby Confindustria on Thursday slashed its growth forecast for Italy next year to minus 1.6 percent from a previous estimate of plus 0.2 percent and said the country was already in recession.

It said even this forecast was based on Italian bond yields dropping to below 5 percent by April compared to around 7 percent now -- the level at which Ireland, Greece and Portugal were forced to take bailouts.

Such a rescue for the much bigger Italian economy would probably overwhelm Europe's defenses, which is why the country is in the frontline of the euro zone crisis.

The Northern League heckled Monti in parliament this week and held up placards saying, "This is not a budget, but a hold-up." They also tried to obstruct the calling of the confidence vote by filibustering in the chamber before Speaker Gianfranco Fini cut them short.

Roleplayers Wanted For A Code Geass RP

Hey there, Zero Reaper! M'name's Sato, and thanks for dropping by RolePlayGateway!

You're telling us that there's a ton of information "inside" of that link you posted, but remember that potential RPers are lazy, lazy creatures! Why not take a second out of your day to tell us what this story is about? Who are the characters, what is the conflict, what is the overall goal? What are the consequences of meeting or not meeting this goal?

But maybe I should back up a bit. Some of us here might not know who you are. What's your history with roleplaying? Where did this idea come from? Ultimately, the question becomes - why should we take the time to sign up to a story that you developed, if you can't stay a moment and give us more of a sense of the flavor of what we're getting ourselves into?

This is, of course, for those who don't know anything about Code Geass - like myself. That is, if you want to try and include those people in your open call. xD

Anyways, hope that helps. Best of luck finding players!

-VV

Cain's Campaign Suspension Clears the Way for Romney (ContributorNetwork)

COMMENTARY| Any hope that the Republican party's presidential race has of presenting an alternative to front runner Mitt Romney is fading fast.

Herman Cain, the Godfather Pizza CEO turned contender for the GOP presidential nomination, was forced to bow out of the race, Saturday, in light of allegations that he not only sexually harassed several women during the 1990s, but also carried on a 13-year affair with Atlanta businesswoman Ginger White, 46. Cain denied the earlier charges of sexual harrasment, but when his longtime friend,White, produced cell phone records proving they had a far more than platonic relationship, his campaign asked that the media not look into his "private sexual life."

After news that there was evidence of marital infidelity broke earlier this week, the Associated Press reported that Cain was "reassessing" his bid for the 2012 presidential election. There was much speculation as to how the news of potential sexual misconduct would affect Cain's campaign, with many believing it would be the end of his bid for the White House. Now that his reassessment of his candidacy has officially led to a suspension of his campaign; the large amount of support he accumulated will be divided, with Romney and Newt Gingrich likely being the primary beneficiaries of his collapse.

The Associated Press reports that Cain supporters were split between Romney and Gingrich for their second choice before his sex scandal and how they are redistributed will be a key factor in the Republican race.

Cain's decline has already sent many of his supporters to Gingrich's camp as the former House Speaker is currently the only candidate with the voter support to challenge Romney's long tenure as the party's presidential front runner, but the rest of the GOP field is far from appetizing.

The loss of their "nice guy" candidate comes just after Minnesota congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, furthered her reputation for factual incorrectness and speaking faux pas with her Wednesday declaration that gay men and lesbians should be allowed to marry so long as they simply obey the law and marry someone of the opposite sex-despite speaking in Iowa at the time, which allows same-sex marriage by law; and just two days after the Atlantic Wire reported her naming of celebrity business mogul turned Obama "birther" conspirator, Donald Trump, as her potential running mate in the 2012 presidential election.

Gingrich has experienced a strong surge in public support since being essentially dismissed from contention after his campaign imploded in June, but his electability is questionable and wasn't helped by a CNN report that he maintains his insistence on children as young as nine be hired to replace unionized workers at their schools; and Texas governor, Rick Perry's campaign struggles can be summed up in one word: Oops.

Cain has vowed to "not be silenced" by his early exit from the presidential race, but with Newt Gingrich just as likely to fall off the public support wagon he's recently jumped on and rode, any real challenge to Mitt Romney as the GOP's presidential hopeful may just have been.

"The Artist," "Shame" not eligible for WGA Awards (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) ? "The Artist," "Like Crazy," "Margin Call," "Shame" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" are among the films considered contenders for the two Oscar screenwriting awards -- but they won't be in the running for the Writers Guild Awards, falling victim to the tighter qualifying rules that annually rule out a number of Oscar hopefuls.

Unlike most Hollywood guilds, which allow nominations to go to those who aren't members and those whose films are not made under guild guidelines, the Writers Guild of America restricts its awards to its members, or to scripts written for productions that are signatories to the guild's Minimum Basic Agreement.

Although foreign movies made under the rules of five affiliated international guilds can also qualify, WGA requirements regularly disqualify a number of low-budget productions and films made outside the United States.

Very few films released by the Weinstein Co., for instance, ever qualify for the WGA Awards; last year's Oscar winner "The King's Speech" did not, and this year the company's releases "The Artist," "The Iron Lady" and "My Week With Marilyn" are all ineligible.

Other films that have failed to qualify include Fox Searchlight's "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and "Shame" (though the company's "The Tree of Life" and "The Descendants" are in the running), and Sony Pictures Classics's "Carnage," "The Skin I Live In" and "Take Shelter."

Also out of the picture: "Albert Nobbs," "Beginners," "Drive," "The Iron Lady" and "Rango."

Even films that would qualify must submit entry forms to the guild to become eligible.

According to In Contention's Kris Tapley, who first obtained copies of the WGA ballots, only 33 films qualified for the WGA's adapted screenplay category, and 55 for original screenplay.

Typically, about one-third as many screenplays qualify for the WGA Awards as the Oscars.

Going by the Gurus of Gold chart at Movie City News, four of the Top 10 Oscar contenders in the Original Screenplay category, and six of the top 12, are ineligible. The Adapted Screenplay category takes less of a hit, with two of the top 10 ineligible.

Two years ago, only four of the 10 WGA nominees received Oscar writing nominations; last year, six out of the 10 guild nominees won Oscar nods.

But the only Oscar winner not to at least receive a WGA nomination during that time was David Seidler for "The King's Speech."
