With multiple projects, Nick Cannon is quick on his feet

Electronic Urban Report

Once upon a time young actor Nick Cannon had a lot of, well, time on his hands. He could be seen on Nickelodeon, but that was about it. These days he’s in videos, on the radio and in films. He’s a veritable media madman. He stars in thefilm“Love Don’t CostaThing,” in “The Nick Cannon Show” on the aforementioned network and he has a hit single with “Gigolo” from his self-titled album. He’s even got a role in the upcoming “Garfield” film. He’s also executive producer of the action-ad-venture film “Underclassman.” With all that goingon, we guess he sometimes has a hard time keeping his roles straight. “Last time I w-as on Nickelodeon I was performing live, and usually when I perform I take my shirt and throw' my clothes out into the audience,” Cannon told the San Francisco Chronicle. “1 guess I kind offorgot I was doing a show for kids, and the fire marshal jumped onstage in the middle of the show and told me 1 couldn’t be throwing stuff in the audience because they might get hurt.” By the way, Cannon said he plays the voice of Louis the Mouse in the new’“Garfield” movie. “My character actually likes macadamia nut cookies,“Cannon said. “I had to vibe off of those.” Ivcnin Kravitz now with Brazilian Isis Arruda One thing about relationships is that they begin all hot and heavy, hut some just fade away for no apparent reason. Insiders are saying that’s ex-

actly the situation that screen star Nicole Kidman and Lenny Kravitz are going through. The gpssip sheets are now saying tnat Kravitz is with Brazilian artist Isis Arruda. The couple is pictured dancing in the Aussie mag New Idea, w'hich quotes Arruda as saying, “It’s over between IxTinyand Nic.” Arruda’s mother Rosania, was also quoted as saving, “Isis has known hifn for several years. He is a great person, a beautiful person ... We love him. They are wonderful together. We are very pleased." Natalie Cole to perforin with Dayton Philharmonic The Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Neal Gittleman, will welcome vocalist and superstar Natalie Cole to the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center on Jan. 13. Cole’s latest album, “Ask a Woman Who Knows,” was released in 2002 and has garnered three award nominations at the 2003 National Smooth Jazz Awards including “Vocalist of the Year,” “Vocal Song of the Year,” and “Female Artist of the Year.” 1 ler career resume includes eight Grammys, eight gold albums, and three platinum albums. Her 1989 release “Unforgettable,” earned her the coveted Grammy award for “Album of the Year.”

50 Cent tops sales list for 2003

Now that we’ve all said goodbye to 2003, the year’s tallies are in. And the winner is... 50 Cent who had the top-selling album in

2003. The rapper’s debut disc, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” sold more than 6.5 million units, led by the hit track “In Da Club.” 50 Cent’s sales were followed by Norah Jones who took the Grammy for 2003 album of the year for her debut album “Come Away With Me.’’She moved 5 million albums. Other urban artists in the Top 10 are OutKast’s “Speakerboxx/ The Love Below” at No. 5, Beyonce’s debut “Dangerously in Love” following at No. 6, and R. Kelly’s “Chocolate Factory ” took lucky No. 7.
