The juiciest tidbit of the night: Akon is in talks to land a supporting role in Clint Eastwood‘s upcoming movie about Nelson Mandela. Get all of the gossip by checking out our photo gallery below.

Akon To Break Into Movies?
Akon says he thinks he thinks he has a good chance of landing Beyonce. Nevermind Jay-Z! He explains, "It's all in the mind ... Never let anybody limit you. If you want it, you have to go out and get it." Is he saying he could take Jay-Z in the Battle for B, a reporter asks? "Don't go starting anything," he warns, then clarifies, "I'm just saying that in life, if you want something, you gotta go after it. Right now, I want to be a star. I want to play a starring role, so I'm coming [to the premiere] to see what it takes to be that."
Sources tell us he's well on his way to becoming a big screen star. We hear he's in talks to land a supporting role in the upcoming Clint Eastwood film about Nelson Mandela.
