Bah Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby is due out at the end of 2012 and we’ve gotten a look at the first trailer. When Jay-Z and Kanye’s “No Church in the Wild” is used for delivery, you know it’s sure to be one amazing flick. Case in point — Safe House where Denzel was shooting up a storm to the tune in the trailer. Though most folks will hold reservation to the novel by F. Scott Fitzergald on which the film is based, from the look of things, the movie should be one for the ages as well. It brings together a solid cast with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and even an international icon by the name of Amitabh Bachchan. Check out the trailer before. The Great Gatsby opens in theaters December 25th.

Adam Yauch a.k.a. MCA of The Beastie Boys has passed away at 47 after a three-year battle with cancer. Yauch, a self-taught bassist and vocalist, was the eldest of the trio, which also included Michael “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Adrock” Horovitz. After dedicating a cancerous tumor in a salivary gland, the band cancelled scheduled concerts and delayed the release of an album. It was only a month ago when The Beastie Boys got inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

MCA is survived by his wife, Dechen, and a daughter.

Seven years after first being proposed, the Brooklyn Nets are officially here and will call Barclays Center home in the heart of BK. The new logo of the team has been unveiled and seems the new team will opt for a black and white colorway rather than the gray, blue and red of the New Jersey Nets. Who came up with this, you ask? Minority owner Jay-Z had a hand in the new branding and design. The new ad campaign has launched as well to stir up ticket sales and raise awareness for the new look, with the tagline “Hello Brooklyn” being the central theme. Check out the 30-second spot below.
