OutKast's Big Boi is putting the finishing touches on his first solo album, "Sir Luscious Left Foot ... Son of Chico Dusty," due later this year via Laface/Zomba. The first single is "Royal Flush" featuring OutKast colleague Andre 3000 and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.
"I'm shooting to finish the album by the end of August," Big Boi tells Billboard.com.
The MC worked with his usual Organized Noise production crew as well as long-time collaborator Mr. DJ on "Sir Luscious," the second single from which will be "The World is Too Big" featuring Mary J. Blige.
"This album is Big Boi to the extreme," the rapper says. "It's like a recession special. I'm talking about what's going on in the world, with everything from rising gas prices to the election. It's just my insights on life up to this point."
Longtime OutKast video director Bryan Barber will helm a clip for "Royal Flush" in the coming weeks. And while Raekwon will be featured in the video, Big Boi was unsure whether Andre 3000's schedule would allow him to appear as well.
Last month, Big Boi debuted his "Big" collaboration with the Atlanta Ballet at the city's Fox Theater. Now, the MC is in talks with concert promotion giants AEG and Live Nation to take the show on an international tour.

collabo with mary, yes please.
a vid for royal flush, YES PLEASE! but dre has to be in it, he just has to. he makes the song the masterpiece that it is.
i pray that 'big' does go on tour, so i can see it. i know so many people who went to see it @ the fox. so jealous.

Premiering August 25 is My Super Sweet 16 Presents: Exiled! Fed up with their seemingly endless mooching, their parents have had enough of this Sweet 16 set and are ready to send them away to learn the lesson of a lifetime. They've arranged to place their children in remote parts of the world with host families who have never tasted anything close to the high society life.

Hi!

How can I achieve this grungy text-on-aged paper/dictionary effect?

For example:


I have the typewriter fonts, but I don't know where to go from there. I use both PSP8 and PSCS2.
More examples under the cut.

Thanks for any help! :)

Hey all! 

I need to ask a stupid question. In PSP 9 how do I get all the layers copied into one? I can't remember the keycombination!! I used to remember it, but now I've used too much PS CS3 and I just remember Alt+crtl+shift+E  . And we all know that doesn't work on PSP 9!! 

Please help me!! D: 

*hugs* 

SOLVED!!! THANK YOU! :D

Hello there!

I've been going through the memories and tuts like crazy and I can't find the reason for the problem I seem to be having. None of my brushes will stick. They're there when I'm working on an icon, but when I save it all the changes are there except the brush(es). This goes for the PS default ones, not just the downloaded ones (so I'm assuming file extraction isn't the problem).

Any ideas?

I'm using CS3, btw.

Thanks in advance!

I need some help with these colourings and blending

Short hair is where it’s at. Let’s face it ladies, long hair is great to have, but can be hard and tedious to deal with at times. So, naturally this season - lots of women are opting to cut it all off and start brand new. Many Hollywood starlets have decided to go short or stay short recently - my favorite new cuts being Toccara and Tia Mowry.

Having a haircut is more that just a change of how you look, you even feel like a new person. It’s definitely a mental change, which you should be sure you’re ready for upon deciding to do the big chop.

But, if you are ready - then you will have lots of fun looking for styles because short hair offers a huge variety of looks - just ask celebrity hair stylist Ursula Stephen.

I recently spoke with the stylist, who is widely known as the genius responsible for Rihanna’s infamous bob and current short cut. See what Stephens says about short dos this summer and how she maintains Ri’s locks:

Tianna: You’re known as the stylist behind Rihanna and Keyshia Cole’s new haircuts. Lots of readers particularly love Rihanna’s hair - what inspired her current look and what made you give her look?

Ursula: Well, it was first inspired by the bob - even going that step. It made me say, I want to take the next step because I’m always ready to do something new, crazy, and fun! So, one day I said to her - I’m cutting off all your hair today - because she kept saying she wanted to go shorter. Every minute, she was bugging me about going shorter! We just did it, and it was crazy!

Heya!

I am like soooo obsessed with Eva Longoria atm and i'd love to make graphics out of some pictures of her, involving some sort of coloring. But the problem is, i can't find a coloring tutorial that works with Eva's hair color (dark brown) that will look good but doesn't darken the whole picture. So i was wondering if anyone had any tuts that they know of that they could give me directions to? I'd be so great full!
e.g i'd like to do some color changes to this image in particular:


Thanks in advance xx

Oh yeah and it would be nice to learn how to make these colorings, if anyone knows:
