It's MurderMurder Inc. front man, Ja Rule, is ready to put the drama behind him. He's set to star in a new movie titled I'm In Love With A Church Girl, alongside Cheetah Girl, Adrienne Bailon.

The movie's being produced by the spiritual production company, Reverence Gospel Media. Ja plays a drug dealer who's trying to find his way in life and Adrienne plays his love interest. The faith based company describes the movie as, "The motion picture and sound track are faith-based and adapted from a true story. The Motion picture will be targeted toward the faith-based and urban market, with a focus on teens and families. This approach follows the wisdom of Samuel Goldwyn who once said "It's better to sell four tickets than two." The company also promises the movie will have a G or PG rating and it’ll be family friendly.

He's No FoolWaka Flocka Flame's his single "O Let's Do It" has taken on a life of his own. However according to the rapper he only contacted one of the many rappers that have jumped on the track. Rick Ross is the only guy I reached out to," said Flame. "Then Diddy reached out to me and Gucci was like, 'I'm getting on that. That's hard!' Now it seems everybody's jumping on it."

He has not let the success of his debut single lead to a big head. "One single doesn't declare a person valid for an album. If I had one or two more songs buzzing crazy then I'd say, 'I'm ready.' But even with 'O Let's Do It,' doing good...when you put it up against Trey Songz' 'Say Ahh' or a Jay-Z track, it will be at the bottom of the barrel."

As HHB previously reported, Flame plans to release several street albums before dropping his first solo album Murder Man Flocka.
