"We got Wayne and Debbie Harry cameos done," wrote FOB frontman Pete Wentz, also revealing that Debbie Harry of Blondie would be making an appearence. " Pharrell produced a track too."

ESPN Recruits Lil Wayne For Sports Blog
After learning a surprising number of Major League Baseball players, including Tampa Bay's B.J. Upton, Boston's Coco Crisp and Philadelphia Phillies' 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins play his tracks during batting practice, ESPN The Magazine asked Lil Wayne to write a blog on their website. The double-platinum rapper, who has cited ESPN's Pardon The Interruption and SportScenter as his favorite TV shows, gave his thoughts on everything from playing football as a child to his NFL fantasy picks. Wayne's blog could raise a few eyebrows, as he unexpectedly turns out to be an avid tennis fan.
"I had a lot of people over to my place to watch the Wimbledon final this year, and we went crazy," writes Wayne. "I love [Roger] Federer but [Rafael] Nadal is my favorite. He's the man. I love his motivation and his heart is big. He leaves it on the court. And when I found out he still lives with his family despite his success, that was it for me."

Cash Money Signs Lil Wayne To New Multi-Album Deal
Cash Money/Universal announced a new multi-album deal with their flagship artist Lil Wayne. While terms were not announced, the deal is Wayne's second since 2005, after the rapper was rumored to be leaving Cash Money for Def Jam. The 2005 deal netted Wayne his own Young Money imprint, and a position as Cash Money's president, which he later stepped down from.
Lil Wayne has been with the label in some capacity since 1995, when he appeared on the B.G.'z album True Story. According to Nielsen Soundscan, Wayne's latest effort, Tha Carter III, has sold just under 2.5 million copies since being released on May 13.
MTV News reports DJ Drama and Lil Wayne are working on the latest installment of their "Dedication" series of mixtapes.
