Renaissance Man. Hard Workin. Big Pimpin. Never stoppin while the beats still poppin. If your head has been bobbing and weaving while driving the I-5 or I-95 listening to B2K's bombastic hit, "Girlfriend," you have been served by Chris Stokes.

Chris Stokes is the mastermind and topper of THE ULTIMATE GROUP aka TUG, located in the posh Beverly Center in West Hollywood, CA. Mr. Stokes got his start in this business by grabbing the Director's chair on HOUSE PARTY 4: DOWN TO THE LAST MINUTE and then making stellar after stellar music video's for artist such as IMX (Immature), Bizzy Bone (Bone Thugs & Harmony), Shanice, Destiny's Child, Patti LaBelle and Brandy. But DA*N, is ole' boy doing his thang or what with B2K? Music icons such as Dick Clark have said they haven't seen such talent in young men since the Jackson 5. Now that's official.

It's all about Chris Stokes and whatever he touches. Ask Chris and he will tell you, it is not easy and it's all about putting in the work. "Succinctly, he states - "It takes hard, tireless work to accomplish and excel at something you want to do. It starts with a dream that becomes a vision propelled by drive and focus to make it a reality."

In addition to being a full-time music mogul, Stokes has also wrapped his next feature film, YOU GOT SERVED. The film is a music & dance themed project starring B2K and Marques Houston (IMX). This high voltage dance theme screen spectacular is set to open Superbowl Weekend. Audiences who have turned out in droves to see Marques Houston and B2K in the Scream 3 Tour (currently on a nation-wide engagement) have been privy to the film's explosive promos and word is that YOU GOT SERVED is going to deliver. Check out future notices exclusive to UrbanFilmPremiere about this one! The Squad is watching.

One of six children (two boys and four girls) Chris Stokes was the product of a show biz environment because his mother, Irene Carter Stokes, was a "working" actor. Chris grew up hearing about and seeing Hollywood celebrities who would drop by to visit his Mother, Irene "Mama Stokes." Celebrities such as, Stymie Beard of The Little Rascals, members of the legendary Motown group The Temptations, Antonio Fargas (Huggie Bear), Jayne Kennedy-Overton, Glynn Turman, Debbie Allen and the late Eazy E (Eric Wright) were all just a few of the regular guests at the Stokes home. To Chris, they were just mom's friends.

Without a doubt, Chris somehow internalized the oft forgotten SHOW-BUSINESS reality: you must take care of the business and the business will take care of the show. With TUG, Chris is taking aim on continuing his unparalleled power moves in entertainment. Like we said earlier, Chris Stokes ain't no joke. C. Stokes is Str8 Official!

The Squad sends their thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of legendary Hollywood Icon, BOB HOPE, who passed away on Sunday. He was 100 years old. What we loved about Bob Hope was his ability to not only deliver unforgettable one liners, but it was also his commitment to our Armed Services and athletes as well. If you have seen any of his ROAD pictures, then you know how funny Mr. Hope was. Wacky costumes, always trying to get the girl and classic side-splitting humor. He was not an icon by today's standards of good looks or some reprehensible act of crime or mischief, he was and will remain an Icon because he gave of himself to entertainment for the purpose of making your day better. Even today, it's hard to cry or anything like that for Bob, all you can do is smile and laugh. That's what he taught The Squad. [AS WE PEN THESE WORDS, THE NEXT "APPARENTLY" MAJOR STORY ON ACCESS HOLLYWOOD IS COLIN FARRELL HAS GONE BLOND] WHATEVER, SPARE US, PLEASE!

Rest in Peace Bob, Rest in Peace...

We have previously announced that THE GRISTLE and LIFE I$ - THE LIFE AND TIMES OF TODD SHAW both hit the streetz TODAY. (July 29th) We are giving propers to these two films not only because we enjoyed both of them, but they were also produced independently. Geno Taylor, Mychal Wilson and David Portlock gave their all to get THE GRISTLE done and D'Wayne Wiggins' Grassroots Entertainment is rolling forward by delivering LIFE I$.

The Squad gets tons of emails about supporting independent film and it's all good. But we also feel saddened by the hypocrites among us. A lot of people PREACH that they support independent filmmakers, but do you support them economically? THAT IS THE QUESTION. SO MAKE IT OFFICIAL, put your money where your mouth is. The only way that independent film will survive is if YOU, the consumers, make indie film a regular part of your budget. We are certain that many of you go to the cinema frequently, well simply carve out a lil' portion of your budget and support these films. Visit your local video retailer TODAY!

BAD BOYS 2 - Bruckheimer holds it down for his boy, the late Don Simpson

For many in Hollywood, the legend of Don Simpson will live forever. To back it up, Jerry Bruckheimer tore down the house, blew-up the backyard, smoked the competition and str8 threw caution to the wind in making BAD BOYS 2 as a gift to his late business partner. If you have not seen the film, you are trippin. The Squad will go on record and say that in terms of summer blockbuster hype, Big Will and Marty Mar kicked ALL summer azz. That's right. Nothing compares to this roller coaster, car thumpin', big-gun totin' flick. And to back it up, P. Diddy (government name Sean Combs) has produced undoubtedly one of his best albums in years with the soundtrack.

Don't wait for this on DVD. This film must be seen in the club...nah, nah, got Fifty on the brain. You must see this film in the THEATER. And don't cop those bulls*it BOOTLEGS from the swap-meet, 125th or Chinatown. All bootleggers need to go directly to jail. And if you buy one, you just got beat for $10 or $5 of your hard earned money. Those things are Garbage!

BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS...WHATCHA GONNA DO, WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU?
