Multi-talented and flamboyant, Cee-Lo initially made a identify for himself and his trademark crooning as part of pioneering Dirty South rappers Goodie Mob earlier he stone-broke by in the early 2000s for a colourful solo route. Along with mate Atlanta rappers OutKast, Goodie Mob laid out the design for the Dirty South style during the mid-'90s, making serious waves with their debut album, Soul Food (1995). Cee-Lo was an important member of the radical, often tattle the maulers to many of Goodie Mob's best songs (e.g., "Cell Therapy," "Soul Food," "Bootleg Ice"). But the group didn't last too long, and after a few releases over a five-year bridge, Cee-Lo split with Goodie Mob for a promising solo deal with Arista.


The deal came in the wake of Arista's success with OutKast's Stankonia (particularly the individual "Ms. Jackson"), not to mention the burgeoning neo-soul movement characterized by the likes of Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, and Macy Gray. Arista label head L.A. Reid no doubt sensed a luck of potential difference in Cee-Lo and gave him the green light to record a solo album. That album, Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections (2002), sounded unlike anything else out in that respect -- unlike Cee-Lo's past work with Goodie Mob, unlike his neo-soul generation, and dissimilar pretty much anything else take out the weirder corners of OutKast's Stankonia album.


The album unsurprisingly ne'er took off commercially, despite some colorful furtherance on Cee-Lo's part (a wild video for "Closet Freak" and a belly-baring live term of enlistment), and the tattooed freehanded adult male went back the drawing dining table, returning in early 2004 with Cee-Lo Green Is the Soul Machine. This follow-up was just as free-spirited as Cee-Lo's debut only was a more than focused travail, anchored by some radio-friendly singles produced by megabucks hitmakers Timbaland ("I'll Be Around"), Jazze Pha ("The One"), and the Neptunes. It besides featured some gracious production by Cee-Lo himself. Interestingly, Arista released the album shortly later parting ways with Reid and besides afterwards experiencing tremendous, Grammy-winning success with OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, an album (André 3000's half, at least) that sounded quite a bit like Cee-Lo's work.


In 2006, Cee-Lo enjoyed his greated success to date as half of Gnarls Barkley, a couplet likewise featuring producer Danger Mouse. "Crazy," the steer single from St. Elsewhere, the duo's debut album, was an inst hit in the U.K. and steadily rose to the top of the charts in the U.S. by the end of the summer. The critical herald and commercial winner of Gnarls Barkley awarded Cee-Lo the near attention he'd ever enjoyed in his life history to escort.

Arrested Development movie planned?

Popular US sitcom 'Arrested Development' is to be made into a movie, according to the shows star Jason Bateman.
Bateman told US TV show E! News that plans are underway for a movie version of the cancelled show.
Rumours of a big-screen adaptation of the cult show began to circulate last year after the actor was reported to have met with series creator Mitch Hurwitz.
Now Bateman, who currently stars in 'Juno', has confirmed the cast has received calls from executives asking if they would be interested in reviving their roles once the ongoing Hollywood writers strike is over.
He told E! News: "I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started. Any talk is targeting a post-strike situation, of course.
"I think, as always, that it's a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."
