Although Drake's career as an actor has been on the back burner since his rise to fame as a rapper, the former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" star isn't opposed to returning to his roots.

Hannah Montana may not be extinct yet, but Miley Cyrus is doing everything she can to kill her Disney alter ego dead.
In the music video for her new album's title track, "Can't Be Tamed," which premiered Tuesday, Cyrus presents herself as a scantily clad extinct species.

A couple weeks ago a track popped up on the Internet featuring G-Unit outcast, Olivia, and Young Money's golden boy, Drake. Drake was quick to disassociate himself with the record claiming it was an old song that was used without his permission.
