Ex-drug boss played by Denzel Washington turns activist.
The man whose life was portrayed in the 2007 biopic film American Gangster will tour 20 American cities to warn youths against crime and violence. Frank Lucas, who was portrayed by Denzel Washington, plans to address students, along with his rapper son Frank Lucas Jr. The pair will encourage youths to make positive achievements. Illegal handguns will also be received at drop-off points for anyone wishing to turn them in during Lucas’ tour. The elder Lucas rose to street prominence in the 1970s by establishing his own heroin connection in Asia and funneling the drug back into Black communities.

Halle Berry reportedly plans bigger family. Having given birth to her first child this year, actress Halle Berry reportedly wants more. Her baby-daddy, model Gabriel Aubry tells Usmagazine.com: “Yeah, we are working on that… I mean, look at her – she is unbelievable! She is the best mom that anybody could ask for, or wish for.” The pair have a daughter Nahla Ariela. But both say they have no plans of marriage.
