A three second shot of Al Pacino's wrist watch in the movie "Righteous Kill" has ignited a serious war -- and now the time has come for a lawsuit.

The production company behind the flick claims they got the screw job from a watch company that allegedly promised to fork over a ton of cash in exchange for a close up shot of their watch on Pacino's wrist.

In the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Millennium Films claims they delivered the shot -- but that Tutima USA watch company never paid up the arranged $50,000 fee AND the additional $1,000,000 in advertising they allegedly said they would buy.

The guy who's playing the Notorious B.I.G. in that hip-hop biopic is facing a rap of his own -- for allegedly assaulting his wife.

Court records show Jamal Woolard was arrested and charged back on September 14 with misdemeanor assault, menacing, and harassment after an alleged altercation with his wife, Trina Younger. Woolard is due to appear in court on the charges January 29 -- and his mom-in-law, who lives with the couple, says the alleged incident is "impossible."

Before he became the faux-torious Biggie, Woolard was best known for being shot in the butt outside Hot 97 in New York.

Internet reports suggest Arquette, his wife Courteney Cox Arquette and Neve Campbell have been approached to cameo in the new film -- not star.

The last flick, "Scream 3," came out nine years ago.

By the time the MTV Movie Awards come around, there won't be any one left alive who's actually seen the film "Notorious."

Just one day after a guy was gunned down at a premiere of the film about Notorious B.I.G., four men were stabbed at a NY nightclub following an unofficial after party for the flick.

During the stab-fest at the Djumbala Club, a 21-year-old man sustained multiple stab wounds and is listed in critical condition, while the three others remain stable.

Fox Searchlight denies any connection to the party.

The new Notorious B.I.G. flick has at least one critic -- a freshly shot movie-goer.

A man took at least one bullet to the abdomen during the screening. Jamal Woolard, who plays Biggie in the film, was at the Greensboro, NC theater when shots were fired but escaped without injury.

Cops won't say if the shooting is related to the film.

The way we see it... even the fake Biggie isn't safe. Watch out fake Tupac, you're next.

Yesterday at the Texas Motor Speedway in Ft. Worth, Kevin James gave race fans exactly what they love to see by crashing his two-wheeled nerd transporter while doing doughnuts in the grass.

Who wants to be a big star?!

That well-hyped Notorious B.I.G. biopic is getting good buzz -– but at least one person has some big issues with it.

Namely, rapperista Lil' Kim, who says the flick is studded with "many lies" and that her own role in the movie is "a false portrayal of me." Ex-con Kim claims she was Biggie's girl for some time and was mentored by him as well.

On the bright side, her entry, "Temple of Doom", is no longer the worst in the series.

As if "Valkyrie" weren't crap enough on its own, Tom Cruise is in trouble for allegedly using a replica of Hitler's favorite globe in the movie.

Robert Pritikin, an SF ad exec, tells the New York Post he owns the globe Hitler used to plan U-boat attacks, among other things, and was shocked to see a replica of it in Cruise's movie. Pritikin claims he owns the copyright to the globe's likeness so it couldn't be co-opted by neo-Nazi groups.
