Wale kilt it at Area last night…shouts to Lindsay Lohan, Travis Barker and Samantha Ronson who were all in the building

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.–Recent Interscope signee Wale has decided to put his recording career on hold to try out for the Los Angeles Avengers, an arena football team.
“Almost everyday I wonder what life would be like if I hadn’t quit playing college ball,” said Wale, 23, from his manager’s office in LA. “I am clearly not big enough for the NFL, but arena football benefits an athlete like myself with explosive speed and agility.”
The Avengers have waived Wale past preliminary try outs, believing his presence on the team will be great for ticket sales and entertainment value.
“Wale is a natural,” said Casey Wasserman, president of Wasserman Media Group which owns the Avengers. “A natural athlete, a natural superstar and a natural entertainer.”
According to a press release from the team, the Avengers will renegotiate their footwear deal wit Nike, citing Wale’s affinity for the shoes as a deciding factor. An apparel deal is also in the works with Los Angeles based The Hundreds, who were recently acquired by LVMH, owners of Louis Vuitton (read article here).
“Honestly, I really just want Wale to be happy,” said Daniel Weisman, Wale’s manager. “I think in terms of marketing and branding him, the pro athlete angle will help, plus it will open up his touring schedule to cities the Avengers play in but might not book Wale for a show.”
Representatives from Interscope and Allido Records were not available for comment.

So I was driving down Beverly Drive in LA with Wale a few weeks ago when I noticed a huge billboard on the side of a building featuring Timbaland wearing a t-shirt with a graphic that looked JUST like Wale. I slammed on the brakes, put it in reverse and pulled over.
it looks exactly like this
look at them side by side
notice uneven shape of the goatee (more hair at bottom right, weird angle on top left)
notice uneven glasses
thoughts?

The video is done. Looks great. It will be premiering in April on MTVu and MTV2 and then will make its way to MTV Jams and the internet. I got some behind the scenes photos of the shoot to keep you entertained.

Earlier this month, LRG brought Wale out to Cali for their summer photoshoot. This is what you’d call a good look. Got a few drunken iphone photos courtesy of Kevin (lay of the lean guy!).
Just got a box from LRG too. Sean Taylor jacket is amazingly tasteful and well dome. RIP #21
And they dug up an old Grand Hustle hoodie for Wale. Kinda tight.
