• Will Smith is considering a remake of the classic musical “Annie” — with daughter Willow in the lead. He’s also enlisting the help of Jay-Z with the film’s music. This could be a major production and even bigger box-office hit! The deal is still in development and there’s no word whether the movie will contain original “Annie” songs or updated versions of the classics. [Black Voices]

• Kelly Price is offering some words of wisdom for Jazmine Sullivan. In a recent interview, Price commented on Sullivan’s sudden departure from music. “The very first thing I said when I heard that is she needs some different people around her… She needs to sing what’s in her heart; she needs to see what’s in her soul,” Price said.

• Diddy is weighing in on the President’s performance in the latest issue of The Source. “I love the President, like most of us. I just want the president to do better.
