BET. All this week (Dec 18 - 22) Bow Wow will be appearing on BET's 106 & Park to promote his new album "The Price of Fame" which will be released on Tuesday, December 19. So there is a 90% chance that Khleo will be performing alongside him. The performance schedule is:
The Price of Fame. Khleo is featured on Bow Wow's fifth album "The Price of Fame" which is set to release on December 19, 2006. Khleo can be heard backing for Bow Wow on the fifth track on the album called "How You Move It". Here is an article I found online about the album and guest appearances.
The Beautiful Ordinary. I have found a little bit of information about the release date for the Beautiful Ordinary. Please remember that all dates are subject to change.
Mixtape. Before Khleo's album is drops he is releasing a mixtape of somewhere between 20-23 tracks. The mixtape will be coming out around the holidays or in January so stay tuned! Also, Khleo is featured in a song on bow wow's album "Price of Fame" which is releasing December 19th.
Concerts. In December Khleo is set to perform in two concerts Bow Wow is doing. Details: Bow Wow Khleo's New Movie Khleo recently got signed onto a Biopic that will begin pre-production on November 16th, 2006. Here is more information takin from the blog of the director: "I have been working on a little side project for the last couple of weeks and I actually just closed a deal with Paramount Pictures who want to make a biography about my life (in the same spirit of Ray and Walk The Line). So you may not be hearing from me quite as much as you have in the past because I will be moving to Hollywood next week and we will begin pre-production in November – next will come mid-production scheduled for mid-June followed by post-production in early 2008. The movie follows my childhood growing up in Salt Lake City in the 1980’s and follows my story all the way up through my rise to fame with Blog-a-licious this year. It is a coming of age story with cabin-life as a back-drop. Right now, I am still finalizing the script, so that is why I have been so busy. One cool thing is that there is alot of buz in Hollywood about this project and everyone wants to be in the movie, so I pretty much get to pick the cast. So far here is what I have: The young me (not to be confused with the Asian girl I went to Junior High with named Yong Mi) will be played by Erik Per Sullivan from Malcolm In The Middle fame. Then the adult me will be played by American Idol winner, Ace Young. This is going to be his breakthrough acting debut. He is excited to be playing the part and everybody is looking forward to seeing him act. His singing talent is especially going to come in handy when it comes to the wedding scene where he will be singing Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” (from Karate Kid II) just as I sang it to my wife on our real wedding day. He will also be required to take some martial arts training – at least enough to learn my special moves. The part of my cabin will be played by the old hotel that was in The Shining. The part of my wife will be played by Rosario Dawson who you may know from such blockbusters as Sin City and Rent. That’s right, I’m choosing the cast. If anyone has a problem with that, well… there’s not much you can do about it. Nobody can touch me. I’m a Hollywood big-shot baby! Not even Tom freakin’ Cruise can touch me now!!! My son will be played by Khleo Thomas (from Disney’s Holes). He is a bit too old to be playing a three year old, so we will be aging my son’s character to around 15 years old instead – That’s the magic of Hollywood. You can fudge the details a bit – as long as I remain true to the over-all story. My daughter will be played by Oscar nominated Whale Rider, Keisha Castle Hughes. She’s not technically half-black, but she is kinda brown, so it’ll work. The part of my daughter will also be aged from 7 months old to around 15 years old – and she may also be changed into a New Zealander – depending on whether Keisha can fake an American accent or not. Rapper Eminem will be playing the part aof the great singer/songwriter/time traveler, Axl Rose (in wig). The part of Slash will be played by action star Vin Diesel (also in-wig).
The part of the lady who works in HR will be played by Sarah Jessica Parker (from Sex In The City fame).
The Beautiful Ordinary wrapped filming in late June and is now set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January; dates/times will be announced sometime in November I'll keep you posted. The tentative release date to selected theaters is September 17, 2007. MySpace. Khleo has another new MySpace page: >click here < to see it. He has now finally proofed his page with a video of himself talking about his page. Now the rumors can finally be squashed. Good for you Khleo.
MySpace Info. Khleo resently changed his personal MySpace url. You might have noticed that he hasn't been on the Prince_of_da_west url; that is because he lost the password so therefore he made a new account. Check it out:
> here < Correction! Yesterday I posted that Bow Wow and Khleo were confirmed for the Scream Tour 5 concert this year. Because of speculation that Bow Wow wasn't on the line-up I looked more into it. I have come to find that no, Bow Wow and Khleo will not be on the 2006 Scream V Tour because Bow Wow is currently finishing up his latest album "The Price of Fame". Sorry for the misunderstanding everyone! But here is some news that may keep you hopeful: It is not a sure thing but Bow Wow is planning on doing a Christmas Concert series that Khleo will be featured in. Keep your fingers crossed. Just announced today Sunday September 10, The Beautiful Ordinary will be at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival (January 18-27, 2007) at Park City, Utah. It was submitted for consideration in the middle of August and as of today was accepted. It is still unknown as of yet if cast members which include Amber, Alexa Vega, Khleo Thomas, and Brie Larson will be attended the event. New Gossip! Bow Wow and his buddy Khleo Thomas don't always get along as well as they appear onstage. In mid June the guys got into a huge disagreement about Khleo's music. A friend close to Shad said that Khleo went to show him some of his new lyrics and Bow slammed them, saying they were not good enough to produce. The source says that the two did not speak for a few days, but eventually settled there fued before performing together at one of Bow Wow's summer gig. (From Celeb News) Khleo's Official Website, is coming soon! It will be an 11.99 members fee to join the fanclub. There you will be abe to view post by Khleo about his upcoming events, scheduled chats with Khleo, contests, and a photo section.

Yes that's right, there will be a Scream Tour 5 featuring Bow Wow along with Khleo Thomas. The tour dates and location are not available yet but I'm 95% sure that it will kick off at the end of August and go through the end of September. As soon as possible I will have all the details so check back! LB Dub Gang. As you may know Khleo is signed by Bow Wow's record label LB Dub Gang. He was signed last summer. There have been a ton of rumors about Khleo's highly anticipated (by his fans) debut album and it's release date. We have been waitiing for it to release for the past two years and everytime it is bumped back a month. After alot of researching I have finally gotten the inside scoop. After Holes premiered in 2003, Khleo was asked to do a demo cd for a local L.A. record company. They were in talks to make an album shortly after that. They wanted to do him to compete against current teen rappers such as Lil Bow Wow and Lil Romeo. That's when the "Zero" image was created. The company was not a major label and were very slow in the process. In the summer of 2004 Khleo was filming Roll Bounce where he met up with Bow Wow. After hearing Khleo rapp and some of his lyrics Bow Wow had asked Khleo to sign his own new label (apart of Lil Bow Wow Entertainment). Khleo then went on to join Bow Wow and leaving his previous label. So in mid 2005 Khleo went into the studio and laid down 12 tracks for his cd. Before Khleo could go back and finish them Dirty began production. Currently Khleo has finished all the tracks and is planning on releasing the album after he does some publicity for the album which Bow Wow is doing. The date of the release is still as of right now unknown but atleast we know that he his one step closer to it.

So you can understand why his album has been delayed. As you know in the summer of '05 Khleo was signed to Bow Wow's label LBW ENT; Which is one of the reasons why the date had been pushed back.

MySpace:There have been rumors saying that Khleo's 'Mixedmike' and his brother's 'Shortyballakt23' MySpaces we're fakes after a new page on myspace was made stating that Khleo_prince_of_da_west was the actual Khleo Thomas. I just wanted to clear up a few things on this. First of all; it is really a matter of your own judgment. But I, personally, am 100% sure that mixedmike is the real Khleo. In my opinion the evidence was right there. Yes Khleo_prince_of_da_west has supposedly proof photos, But a graphic program such as Photo-shop can allow you to move and change pictures very easily and the poser hacked into Khleos photobucket account. Which may have been the case with those photos. As many of you know yesterday mixedmike and shortyballakt23 myspaces were deleted due to poser issues. But don't worry they are currently working on creating new OFFICIAL myspaces which will be up as soon as things get toned down. And Khleo is working on his official website so that will have more info on everything I've said. So to sum it up, Mixedmike is the real Khleo Thomas. But please don't be too quick to judge ANYBODY over the web. It is very dangerous and not very smart no matter who you think they are. That being said I have started a new disscusion and project at the KTkhleo Fan-Club forums called 'Stop the Posers', to join in on the topic > Click here <
Khleo's albumis still in-the-works and will be out soon. Some of the songs you can look forward to on the album is: Khleo will be performing alongside Bow Wow at the 2006 NBA Celebrity All Star Weekend in H-town, TX ,at Jam Sessions Club NBA on Thursday February 16 at 8pm.
Khleo's latest movie Dirty is set to release on Feb 24, 2006. But here is some early DVD release news. There is a thin blue line between police corruption, gang violence and street justice when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases Dirty on DVD April 4. Academy Award?-winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jerry Maguire, Pearl Harbor)and Clifton Collins, Jr. (Capote, Mindhunters) hit the streets as gang members-turned-cops in this raw, hard-edged story about a day in the life of two corrupt cops going for one final score. Featuring Cole Hauser (The Cave, Pitch Black)and Aimee Garcia (D.E.B.S., Cadet Kelly), Dirty showcases a darker side of the men in blue, where cops are as crooked as the criminals they seek to eradicate. Directed by Chris Fisher (Nightstalker, Rampage: The Hillside Stranglers). In a city ravaged by violent crime, Dirty focuses on the Los Angeles Police Department?s anti-gang task force and the use of any means possible to get the bad guys off the streets, with cops often acting as judge, jury and executioner. As the unit?s self-justifying brutality and corruption spiral further out of control, gang member-turned-cop Armando Sancho (Collins) questions the life he and his partner Salim Adel (Gooding) have chosen. When investigating Internal Affairs agents offer them a deal to come clean about the unit?s misdeeds and abuses, Sancho must decide whether to heed his conscience or his loyalty to fellow officers. On the day Salim and Sancho are scheduled to testify before Internal Affairs, the two rogue cops agree to run a lucrative, illegal operation for the station?s top brass (David and Hauser). As their increasingly-bloody mission takes them from one end to the other of the sprawling city they?ve sworn to protect and serve, Salim and Sancho learn that getting clean isn?t nearly as easy as being dirty.

Could anything be more charming than a movie about five boys in the 1970s who aspire to nothing more than to be kings of the roller rink floor? Rapper/actor Bow Wow, no longer Li'l, takes a step towards adulthood as X (short for Xavier), a teenager grappling with the loss of his mother and finding his identity on wheels. Though Roll Bounce culminates in a skating contest, the path it takes is loose and rambling--which is its strength. Rather than building inexorably to the big contest, Roll Bounce takes time to explore its world--the camaraderie of X and his pals, the struggles of his father (Chi McBride, I, Robot) to find a job--without wallowing pointlessly in the ephemera of the '70s. The movie saves most of the skating spectacle for the end, but when it comes, it delivers; the characters have dance moves on skates most people couldn't do on their feet. Roll Bounce isn't going to change the history of cinema or is even particularly original, but it is enormously likable and heartfelt. The actors--including Khleo Thomas (Holes), Meagan Good (The Cookout), Nick Cannon (Drumline), Mike Epps (Next Friday), Charlie Murphy (King's Ransom), and Kellita Smith (The Bernie Mac Show)--are clearly enjoying themselves. That, combined with roller-skating razzle-dazzle, makes for a cheerful, infectious movie. --Bret Fetzer

If you are a dirty undercover cop in Los Angeles, you probably have plenty haunting you. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Clifton Collins Jr. star as two undercover cops battling demons on the street, along with their own personal ones. After watching this bleak and disturbing depiction of life in Los Angeles, you will probably never ask a cop for directions again. After a suspicious shooting, these two street cops get hauled in for questioning by Internal Affairs. If they stick together and stay smart, no one can touch them. Unfortunately, the psychological repercussions of their actions begin to take their toll. As they pass through the dens of the city?s most notorious gangsters, faces of the dead lurk in every shadow. Set in a sadistically violent world, DIRTY is full of stellar performances, especially the two lead actors. Their desperation is palpable as they journey down an exceedingly dark path to a violent and unexpected conclusion. |
