Alright, Nick Cannon, you can do anything, we get it, stop rubbing it in our faces.
Variety is reporting that multi-hyphenate actor, rapper, comedian, record producer, TV host, radio personality, Mariah Carey's husband, dad and overall businessman is throwing his hat in the ring of movie directing for Lionsgate's "School Dance."
The "Friday" and "House Party"-style comedy builds its story around "a high school freshman who wants to be part of the most popular dance clique in his school — but he tends to freeze in the spotlight and has no clue how he's going to pass the initiation."
Cannon started off as a popular teen fixture on Nickelodeon, eventually nabbing his own show and by the early 2000s was balancing a burgeoning movie career ("Drumline," "Love Don't Cost A Thing") with his status as a rap star like Will Smith. Once his films began to flounder and a...

Things may have gotten more serious between Justin Bieber and rumored girlfriend Jasmine Villegas. After getting spotted engaging in a make-out session in the back of a car, the "Baby" hitmaker reportedly will be bringing along the 16-year-old beauty with him to his upcoming Hawaii concerts.
One insider told Us Magazine that Jasmine, who serves as his opening act on the second leg of his "My World 2.0" tour, "was supposed to be left off the upcoming Hawaii concerts." The inside source added that despite the fact, the teen pop sensation wanted the former member of girl group School Gyrls to be there with him, "so he made it happen."

Don't call him Mr. Mariah. Nick Cannon is one of the busiest men in Hollywood. He just extended his term as chairman of the teens-only TeenNick network through January 2012. He hosts summer's No. 1 show, NBC's "America's Got Talent," as well as his New York-based CBS Radio show, "Rollin' With Nick Cannon." And in his spare time, he produces and manages the pop group School Gyrls, continues to produce his own music and travels on a U.S. comedy tour.
The Hollywood Reporter: At 29, do you find it a struggle to convince older executives to take you seriously?
Nick Cannon: Instantly, people see me as talent. They don't want to see me as a businessman. If I come in here with jeans, tennis shoes, jewelry and a hat to the back, I look like I'm 17. I dress in a suit to make sure you can separate me from the interns.

Between Mariah Carey's "Angels Advocate" tour and Nick Cannon's own radio and television work, the couple's had to spend some time apart. But they did hook up to write a song together for Cannon's new girl group.
School Gyrls just premiered their very first movie for Nickelodeon, written and directed by Cannon himself. In the high school-set musical comedy, the gyrls perform some of their original material. Also due on the album is a track co-written by Carey and Cannon. It also features the "Obsessed" singer on background vocals.
The single, "Get Like Me," is an uptempo, urban pop track. While it could be for the clubs, its more likely for the School Gyrls' target tween set. The movie even featured a cameo from Justin Bieber.
