See Big Boi on Law & Order Tonight
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Antwan “Big Boi” Patton of Atlanta hip-hop duo OutKast is making a pretty sizable appearance on television this evening.
He is guest starring on NBC’s “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” at 10 p.m. . And in the “Wildlife” episode he portrays “Gots Money”, a rapper involved in an exotic animal smuggling ring under investigation by Detective Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni).
Think you’ll tune in tonight? How would you rate Big Boi’s other acting turns in “Idlewild”, “ATL” and “Who’s Your Caddy?” Looking forward to his solo bow — “Sir Luscious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty”?

Reunited LaBelle Playing Atlanta In February
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Time to get your “itchy gitchy ya-yas” going.
(Or however that was spelled in French).
Not only has the pioneering funk-rock ensemble with the hit “Lady Marmalade” (“itchy gitchy”) put out its first CD together in 32 years (“Back To Now”), but starting next month Labelle is hitting the road — with a Feb. 14 date at the Atlanta Civic Center.
Excited? Remember Sarah Dash, Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle from their first time around as Labelle? (If not, see the YouTube clips of them performing “What Can You Do For Me” in 1974, then “Lady Marmalade” BELOW) Heard “Back To Now”?

Bryan Adams Schedules Atlanta Date
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Sing ‘So Alive’!”
If someone yells that in the audience in January, then pop-rocker Bryan Adams will know exactly how roots-rocker Ryan Adams feels when — jokingly or not — someone shouts “Sing ‘Cuts Like A Knife’!”
Here’s hoping all goes pleasantly, however, when Bryan plays his solo acoustic show Jan. 16 at Atlanta Symphony Hall.
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. at the Woodruff Arts Center box office (1280 Peachtree St., 404-733-4200) and all Ticketmaster outlets.
Planning to get a pair Nov. 21? Ever seen him live before? Did you know the Grammy winner has 21 top ten hits, and received three Oscar and five Golden Globe nominations?

Lil Wayne To Bring In 2009 In Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Arguably the biggest artist of the year — rapper Lil Wayne — will wind down what has certainly been the biggest 12 months of his professional career in Atlanta.
And he’s got two local talents joining him.
Lil Wayne (top photo), Atlanta’s Keyshia Cole and T-Pain (pictured in second photo with Wayne, on the left), as well as the Gym Class Heroes make up Wayne’s “I Am Music” tour, stopping at Philips Arena Dec. 31.
Tickets are $39.75-$79.75 at www.livenation.com, the Philips Arena box office (404-878-3000), all Ticketmaster locations or charge by phone (404-249-6400).
And they go on sale this Friday.
Interested in bringing in the new year with Lil Wayne? Think another recording artist has had a bigger 2008? And if not, what do you think has been Wayne’s appeal?
