We’ve not managed to catch this one yet, but the synopsis (and a stacked cast list) have our curiosity piqued. Here is that very same synopsis:

In this parody of the UK urban genre Riko and Kane have got it all … big dreams, no respect and a fifteen grand debt. Could things get any worse?

Yes! So, it’s time to man up and finally be taken seriously as “Roadmen”. Once putting their heads together on various ways to make some money, they decide to rob a megastar in a nightclub toilet and hold up the local bank,...

In this parody of the UK urban genre Riko and Kane have got it all … big dreams, no respect and a fifteen-grand debt. Could things get any worse?

Paramount Pictures has debuted the trailer for Adam Deacon’s comedy parody ‘Sumotherhood.’

In this parody of the UK urban genre Riko and Kane have got it all … big dreams, no respect and a fifteen-grand debt. Could things get any worse?

Yes! So, it’s time to man up and finally be taken serious as “Roadmen”. Once putting their heads together on various ways to make some money, they decide to rob a megastar in a nightclub toilet and hold up the local bank but things inevitably don’t go to plan!! However, somehow a misunderstanding leads them to be desired and acquired for business with one of East London’s toughest firms, putting them in the line of fire to the firm’s arch-rivals.

Here at Et, we’re obsessed with a lot of things – and this is what we’re most excited about this week:

Why We’re Obsessed With Judi Dench

For the second time in 20 years, Dame Judi Dench is tasked with portraying Queen Victoria—this time in Stephen Frears’ Victoria and Abdul, an unofficial sequel to her Oscar-nominated turn in Mrs. Brown, about the friendship between an Indian Muslim functionary and the monarch of England. Her portrayal is earning her rave reviews, which will certainly mean more of Dench during awards season as she promotes the Oscar-bait film and the upcoming star-studded mystery, Murder on the Orient Express, which is in theaters on Nov. 10. Already, she’s rapped with British grime star Lethal Bizzle and been quite cheeky in interviews, revealing she’s mooned Harvey Weinstein, has a tattoo on her bum and that she’s crushing on Johnny Depp. Bow down!

Victoria and Abdul...

Dame Judi Dizzle?

Oscar-winning actress Judi Dench can now add rapping to her list of career accomplishments, after sitting down with London-based Mc Lethal Bizzle for some lessons — and eventually a duet.

During the session, which was captured on video and shared by LADBible, Bizzle helps the 82-year-old actress learn some of the words to his songs “Celebrate” and “Pow.” After going over the lyrics together, Dench shared the mic with Bizzle, rapping along with him to the beat.

The rapper, 33, and actress, 82, might seem like an odd pairing, but they do have a connection: her last name. Bizzle has...

Dame Judi Dench, rap superstar? The 82-year-old actress is showing off her rapping skills in a new video that has everyone talking! Posted by LADbibile on Twitter, Dench sits down with rapper Lethal Bizzle and he teaches her how to rap some of his songs. But before they start, Lethal Bizzle hooks the actress up with a hat from his business that's fittingly called, "Stay Dench." Once Dench has her swag on, she's ready to start her rap career. That's when Lethal Bizzle starts reading her the lyrics from his song "Celebrate." "Anywhere I go, gang rolling," the rapper tells Dench. "What?" Dench says, before asking, "What does it...

Judi Dizzle and Lethal Bizzle just might be the next killer rap duo.

John Humphrys is expected to sign a new deal to continue hosting BBC Two's Mastermind.

The broadcaster has been offered a deal to present the long-running quiz show, after taking over from Magnus Magnusson on its return to the channel in 2003.

Meanwhile, Humphrys will also host another one-off mash-up edition with BBC Radio 1Xtra.

Last year, Humphrys surprised audiences by taking part in a hip-hop version featuring Semtex, DJ Target, Lethal Bizzle and Amplify Dot, which was available on iPlayer and 1Xtra.

BBC entertainment north managing editor Kieron Collins told The Guardian: "We're going to do another collaboration with Radio 1Xtra later this year. It's another radio and iPlayer crossover, which will take John Humphrys and the Mastermind format and put it in a surprising environment.

"I think John is fantastic. He was cautious about doing hip-hop Mastermind, he knows nothing about hip-hop. By the end of it – it's...

Lethal Bizzle will take part in an upcoming Mastermind special.

The rapper will sit on the famous black chair for a one-off urban special episode as part of BBC Radio 1Xtra's Hip-Hop Month.

John Humphrys will quiz 1Xtra DJs Semtex, Target and A.Dot as well on Hip-Hop Mastermind, with each act choosing their own hip-hop-themed specialist subject.

The four guests will also be asked hip-hop-based general knowledge questions in front of a studio audience.

The episode will be available to stream on Monday, September 22 on BBC iPlayer.

Hip-Hop Month will also include MistaJam looking back at classic albums from 1994 in his weekday show on 1Xtra, while there will be several documentaries as part of the Radio 1Xtra Stories strand as well.

David Beckham and Russell Brand are among the stars to appear in an upcoming Match of the Day documentary.

The one-off programme will mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic football highlights show on Friday, August 22 at 10.35pm.

New clips from the special include friendly rivals Lord Alan Sugar and Piers Morgan discussing their love of the game and Match of the Day.

Another clip features the likes of Russell Brand, Sue Johnston and Greg Dyke speaking about the show's different presenters over the years, including Jimmy Hill, Des Lynam, and current host Gary Lineker.

Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Alan Hansen are among the Match of the Day pundits of past and present that will feature in the show.

Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen, Jose Mourinho and Thierry Henry will be just some of the football icons that will make an appearance as well.

Composer Barry Stoller will also discuss...

Directioners have been at war with Beliebers for quite some time, and now it looks like the boys themselves have joined the fight! Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson openly mocked Justin Bieber’s name change on Twitter on Feb. 18, mere days after their bandmate Niall Horan was spotted out on a date with Justin’s ex Selena Gomez!

Justin Bieber opened himself up for some light mockery when he changed his name to “Bizzle” on Instagram for a week, but who would have thought that some of the mocking would come from Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson!

Liam Payne & Louis Tomlinson Diss Justin Bieber On Twitter

Justin only changed his named to Bizzle for a week — to sound more hip-hop, of course — because a British actor and musician named “Lethal Bizzle” didn’t like sharing his name with the Canadian superstar.

Call him Bizzle -- for now. Pop sensation Justin Bieber has officially changed his Instagram handle to "bizzle," after posting photos with hip-hop stars Diddy and Rick Ross last week, and rapper T.I. last weekend. The "Boyfriend" singer, 19, whose Twitter name still remains "Justin Bieber," shared Saturday that the swap was effective "for now." The change was made several days after Bieber was photographed working with Jermaine Dupri, Wale, Stalley, and Diddy while in Atlanta. "Always working always creating," he wrote Friday.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

One thing that’s always guaranteed at Download festival is a diverse spread of musical tastes – the fest has attracted criticism in the past for including acts that plainly don’t fit the bill, like Lethal Bizzle (who was unceremoniously pelted with free rice pudding,) Pendulum and Chase and Status recently.

But Andy Copping knows how to cater for diverse tastes, and aside from a few well-publicised missteps, the organiser tends to cook up a good blend for the June festival, offering new bands, niche bands and mega-bands on the same schedule.

And this year, Copping got it spot on, pulling in three huge headliners – Slipknot, Iron Maiden and Rammstein – all falling firmly under the spectacle banner, and each promising high-energy, explosive sets to top off three busy days of music.

The Football Association has confirmed that the 2013 Fa Cup final will kick off at 5.15pm and be broadcast on ITV and Espn.

The Saturday, May 11 clash at London's Wembley Stadium will be between Wigan Athletic, who beat Millwall 2-0 in their Saturday semi-final, and Manchester City, who overcame Chelsea 2-1 a day later.

Both semi-finals were also played at 5.15pm, with claims that all-day drinking was a factor in the violence of Millwall fans in the stands.

Prior to those ties, Fa general secretary Alex Horne defended the late kick-off, telling The Guardian: "We're now used to consuming our football in those time slots. It really works. Lunchtime kick-offs just haven't got the same appeal.

"The 5.15pm kick-off for the final was really successful. We added a couple of million viewers. It's a sensible compromise."

He added: "When we designed the new national stadium, we knew we needed to put content in it.

Lethal Bizzle has praised Dame Judi Dench for improving the sales of his Dench clothing range. The rapper launched the range with cousin and Arsenal footballer Emmanuel Frimpong earlier this year. Judi Dench was photographed wearing a Dench cap while speaking to BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James last month. Bizzle - real name Maxwell Ansah - said that Judi Dench's promotion of the cap has had a huge effect on his company. "I was worried she was going to slag me off. It was crazy, man," he told The Sun. "I pulled over to the side of the road when she came on the radio and she really smashed it. When she started saying in her posh voice that her grandchildren wore T-shirts saying 'Denchgang' on them it had me in stitches. "I'll send her a Christmas card and send her whole family some Denchgang stuff." Speaking about (more...

If there was even the slightest shred of doubt that Dame Judi Dench was a National Treasure™, she more than proved she's a pearl among women with a cheeky bit of bling at the Skyfall premiere this week. Despite her characteristically elegant garb, Judi was sporting a cheeky 'jazzle! No, it wasn't a vajazzle, it was a nejazzle – a sparkly set of self-adhesive crystals in the shape of the 007 logo tucked behind her ear (above, left). Unexpected and playful, it rocked. She then cemented her place in the lady dude hall of fame later in the week by getting a picture of herself on Twitter wearing a Dench cap (above). Dench as in Judi, but also in Stay Dench, the clothing range created by rapper Lethal Bizzle and footballer Emmanuel Frimpong. Dench, you see, is a phrase used by the youth to describe something as being "sick" – keep up at...

He's made his name playing insufferable public school toffs. But is that the real Jack Whitehall?

Jack Whitehall sits outside a Putney cafe, looking slightly harassed. This is his third attempt at finding an interview venue. The first place he suggested we meet was closed, not unsurprisingly, given that it was a pub and it's 10.30 on a Wednesday morning. So he suggested another pub, also closed. Eventually, he leads me on a lengthy walk to discover somewhere that isn't a pub. Does he know this area? He frowns: yes, he grew up in Putney and still lives here. "My parents' house is just down there," he says, pointing across the road.

You could suggest that this is all very Jack Whitehall-ish. He has, after all, made a career out of playing clueless public schoolboys of varying degrees of ghastliness. Pj in Fresh Meat, the student sitcom by Jesse Armstrong...

Originally produced for Channel 4, Being N-Dubz is a six-part reality series following the band throughout their ups and downs, highs and lows. Using state of the art head cams, the show follows the troublesome trio as they lay down tracks in the studio, go head-to-head with rival Lethal Bizzle at a charity football match, go to Greece for a music show and tour the UK to sold out arenas.

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a fan of N-Dubz. I’ve liked their music ever since I first heard and saw the video for “You Better Not Waste My Time” on Channel U (now known as Channel Aka) back in 2006. And whilst I may not appreciate their crazy antics outside the studio, they still produced some great music, with some lyrical flair and a real rawness not heard in mainstream UK music in years. However despite making good decisions when it comes writing,...

Fly-on-the wall documentary series Being... N-Dubz will be given a DVD release Series 1 and the Christmas Special of the 2010 show follows Tulisa Contostavlos, Dappy and Fazer as the trio break through to the mainstream.

Hollyoaks fans are also being invited to watch his performance and feature in the series themselves. Show chiefs have confirmed that the filming will feature Hollyoaks sixth formers Jono (Dylan Llewellyn), Neil (Tosin (more)...

Gary Lineker has been given advice on street slang by Lethal Bizzle. The Match of the Day host has jokingly used the phrase "That is sick" on a couple of occasions after playing a clip of Bizzle's England Euro 2012 track 'Three Little Words'. Referring to his range of Denchwear clothing, Lethal Bizzle said that Lineker should have said "dench" instead of "sick". "If he starts saying dench it would be enough to get him in the dench gang," he told The Sun. (more)...

The film is an incredibly accurate portrait of that kind of environment. It wasn't two-dimensional in that the characters weren't just purely evil – the good in them also showed. I've met all those characters in the course of my work. The little boys terrorised into joining the criminal network are just so real. It demonstrated what I keep telling people: don't say a child chooses to join a gang; there is no choice. The cycle of brutalisation, with kids brutalising kids, the girl fights, all of it is so accurate.

I want to get a copy of this film and deliver it to the prime minister and say: "This is another bit of your country that you don't talk about,...

Darryn Lyons has become the fifth contestant to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house. The man known as Mr Paparazzi was voted out during tonight's live final ahead of remaining contestants Jedward, Paddy Doherty, Amy Childs, Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount. Lyons left the house to the sound of Lethal Bizzle's 'Pow' to a mainly negative reception from the crowd. When asked by presenter Brian Dowling if he expected to reach the final, he replied: "No I didn't. I'm absolutely overawed, and I'm so happy to come out right in the middle, it's perfect. "Going out number one would be everyone's worst nightmare, and being up for eviction three times and having the public support, to me, is fantastic." Asked why he thought he was nominated so often, he said: "I speak my mind, and I have an (more)...

The likes of Kidulthood and Shank started a new wave of films about urban British teens. Now the genre is getting its first spoof. So has it truly come of age?

There's no surer sign that a film style has matured into a fully-grown genre than when the first parody comes out. That bittersweet moment has arrived for British urban films in the shape of Anuvahood. This brashly coloured council estate jaunt follows a deluded sad case named "K" who fancies himself as a Mc-turned-drug dealer, but lacks the nous to pull it off. Marketed as the UK's answer to Us urban comedies such as Friday (1995) and House Party (1990), the title is also an obvious pastiche of Noel Clarke's Kidulthood, the 2006 film that gave rise to a slew of imitators. It's a ballsy move, especially considering co-writer, co-director and star Adam Deacon got his own break playing comic relief...

The 34-year-old, who produced tracks on Allen's 2006 debut album Alright, Still, insisted that the pair will remain friends in the future. "I can't go back to working with Lily," he told The Sun. "There's been no falling out but our creative relationship has ended." According to rapper Lethal Bizzle, Ronson has instead (more)...

Lethal Bizzle has said that he is "out to get" Blur musician Alex James after his assurance that the rapper could sample the band's 'Song 2' on his new album fell through. The hip-hop star apparently got the go-ahead from James to use the track, but was angry when his initial permission was later overturned by the rest of the band. Lethal Bizzle said during a recent Biz Session: "I met Alex when he was judging the Orange Unsigned Act competition. I played him my song 'Rockstar' and he absolutely loved it. I am a huge Blur fan and used a sample of 'Song 2'. Alex (more)...

Lethal Bizzle has revealed that he was recently snubbed by Blur bassist Alex James. The rapper sampled Blur on the original version of his new song 'Rockstar' which James initially approved, only to change his mind weeks later.

Lethal Bizzle has said that he was very "picky" about the tracks producer Mark Ronson sent him before they collaborated.

We recorded in this studio in Old Street and it was nice, a very memorable experience. "Mark's a really chilled-out guy. We kept bumping into each other at festivals and he offered to send me some music. I was like, 'Yeah, (more)...

He thinks she's getting better and they are working together and will start recording soon. Everything he does is awesome. "I (more)...

Lethal Bizzle has said that he is capable of striking a balance to keep fans of underground music happy while also attracting a mainstream audience.
