hmm hoffentlich ist das nicht blos interviews, aber warum sollte dann seine muddi von irgendner anderen Frau gespielt sein, vielleicht isses ja doch ein richtiger Film.

from the New York Post:

April 13, 2005 -- Rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard's philandering ways may soon be laid bare — his widow revealed she's kept a sample of his DNA to force kids claiming "He's my daddy" to prove it.

Icelene Jones, fighting a battle over the dead hip-hop star's estate, yesterday dropped her previous denials that her estranged hubby fathered up to 10 children other than the couple's three kids.

"I was real hurt with him doing the things that he's done," admitted Jones, 35, speaking at a press conference with her lawyer.

"But I have nothing against the other children. I've met some of them. If they are, they are. If they're not, they're not. They're beautiful children — the ones that I've seen. I preserved DNA for this purpose."

Various biographers say ODB fathered 12 or 13 children with several women.

Jones' lawyer, Steven Mandel, said the DNA samples taken from ODB, whose real name is Russell Jones, would be used for paternity tests.

"Anybody who comes forward and says they believe they are a biological child of Russell, we will substantiate that with DNA," said Mandel.

"If in fact they are a child of Russell's, they will share proportionally in the estate. We are not here to cut any children out."

The press conference resembled a bizarre p.r. pitch to convince the public that Jones was ODB's one-and-only — complete with handouts of copies of the marriage certificate, and happy snaps of Jones and the kids visiting ODB in prison.

"It's not really to claim money. It's to make sure everybody understands that I was his wife and these are his three children," said Jones.

Ice Cube Working On New Album, Preparing 'XXX'

While Ice Cube is keeping busy in the film world, the acclaimed writer/director/actor isn’t neglecting his rap career and recently divulged details of a new album.

"I am planning to release the single by early summer " Ice Cube told AllHipHop.com. “Once I put the finishes on it, I plan to drop the album by late summer."

In addition to the album, Cube continues his foray into Hollywood and as previously reported, is in negotiations to star in a remake of the 1948 comedy “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.”

“I don't really want to disclose anything right now, I am really superstitious and I want to wait until the deal is final, Cube said of the movie.

Cube’s superstitious aside, the rapper’s last project, “Are We There Yet” grossed over $81 million dollars as of April 15th, while his other films, such as the “Barbershop” and “Friday” series of movies have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and through DVD sales. Cube’s latest movie, “XXX State of the Union,” is the sequel to the 2001 film XXX which starred action hero Vin Diesel. Diesel and original director Rob Cohen opted out of the sequel, but stayed on as executive producers. Cube was selected as a replacement for Diesel since both have deals with the studio, which produced the original version and the sequel.

“I am honored that they even considered me, to star in a film of this caliber is definitely a dream come true,” Cube said of the action flick. “If they decide to do a ‘XXX 3’ depending on how this does, I am definitely interested in playing the part again."

“XXX: State of the Union” hits theaters worldwide April 29th.
