It was supposed to be a day of celebration for Soulja Boy, but whatever plans he had have been curtailed. On Tuesday morning (October 18), the same day the rapper's "Soulja Boy: The Movie" DVD documentary hit stores, the 21-year-old was arrested in Georgia after a routine traffic stop and hit with multiple drug charges.

MTV News has learned that the Atlanta MC has been charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Temple Police Department's public information officer, Dana Rampy, confirmed to MTV News that Soulja Boy (born De'Andre Cortez Way) and four other individuals were arrested early Tuesday around 2:30 a.m. ET while driving west on I-20 in a black Cadillac Escalade. The arresting officer found marijuana, guns and cash in the car. It has been reported by other outlets that roughly $70,000 in cash was found in the vehicle, but Temple Police told us that they did not find that much cash, though they declined to disclose the exact amount.

All five men were charged and are currently being held in Carroll County Jail in Carrollton, Georgia; they are set to go before a judge sometime today. The Temple Police Department expects the men to be released after bond is set and posted.

Reps for Soulja Boy had no comment when MTV News reached out for a statement.

"Soulja Boy: The Movie," directed by Peter Spirer, looks back on how the rapper went from teen Internet standout to rap star.

Android Beam makes NFC for more than paying for things

Android Central

So we're all still fresh from seeing Ice Cream Sandwich in all it's glory, but one of the cool new features unveiled during the presentation was Android Beam. 

Taking advantage of the in built NFC chip on the Galaxy Nexus, Android Beam makes it possible to share various kinds of data with another enabled device. The presentation showed loading a webpage on one device, and sending it via Android Beam to another. 

The feature also works with sharing Google Maps information, YouTube videos, contact information, and applications right out of the box. The example, Minecraft being played on one device, beamed to the other and up came the Market link for Minecraft. 

The API is going to be opened up to developers to take advantage of in their own applications too. While a pretty limited market initially, it seems clear that Google intends to get fully behind NFC technology.

Sci-Fi Tech: New Adobe Plugin Removes Photo Blur

There are two things that work with photos in sci-fi movies that still don’t work in real life. One is saying “enhance” to your computer and having it magically zoom in and conjure new pixels from nowhere. And the other one is removing the blur from an image. Thanks to the brainiacs at Adobe, the next [...]

Ashton Kutcher Says Demi Moore Is Going to Divorce Him

Ashton Kutcher Says Demi Moore Is Going to Divorce Him

Now that Sara Leal has publicly claimed that she had sex with Ashton Kutcher (twice!) during his anniversary weekend, the actor has allegedly begun to tell his friends that Demi Moore is ready to file for divorce.

According to RadarOnline, the Two and a Half Men star, 33, expected Moore, 48, to initiate divorce proceedings after the story of Kutcher's alleged infidelity hit the press.

"Ashton is absolutely gutted," a source close to Kutcher tells RadarOnline. "Ashton had confessed his sexual relationship with Sara to Demi after it happened. Demi was naturally, devastated, but not surprised as they had spent their sixth wedding anniversary apart. There have been problems for a very long time in the marriage."

Earlier signs indicated that the couple (who recently spent the weekend camping with their Kabbalah instructor and close friends) might be trying to save their marriage of six years. But now it seems they could be headed for divorce.

"She's currently consulting with divorce attorneys. Ashton doesn't want her to file for divorce, and is hoping they can work it out. However, Ashton expects that Demi will likely file," the source says. "Ashton was hoping that Sara wouldn't give any interviews about their sexual encounter, but now she’s spilling all the seedy details and it doesn’t help matters at all."

Britney Spears Hits 10 Million Twitter Followers

Britney Spears Hits 10 Million Twitter Followers

Watch out, Kim Kardashian -- Britney Spears is catching up! The pop star has just become the sixth person ever to reach 10 million Twitter followers, after Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, President Barack Obama, Katy Perry and Kardashian, who just reached the impressive benchmark last month. According to MediaBistro, it took Britney just 53 days to go from 9 million to 10 million followers.

Ever since climbing to the No. 1 spot on the list of Twitter's most-followed last May, Spears has embraced the social networking medium. Now she frequently retweets compliments from fans, and posts tons of pictures and videos -- like the recent concert pic of her "Till the World Ends" performance featuring 6-year-old son Sean Preston.

Though Kardashian beat Spears to 10 million followers, it's worth noting that Kim posts much more often than Britney: to date, 9,331 tweets vs. Britney's 1,095. Kim, in other words, works a lot harder than Britney for her Twitter followers! Top tweeter Lady Gaga, on the other hand, has posted less than either of them -- but tends to limit her tweets to big announcements.

So who will be next to cross the 10-million line? Shakira seems to have it in the bag, with over 9 million followers. The next highest-ranked Twitter users are Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher. However, Mediabistro predicts that Kutcher will soon be pushed out of the top 10 by one of three celebs who are gaining on him: Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Selena Gomez.

Notice anything that all the top-ranked Tweeters have in common? That's right -- with the exception of social-media pioneer Kutcher and the President of the United States, they're all women. Let's hear it for girl power (in 140 characters or less)!

Robert Pattinson Eyed For Green Day's 'American Idiot'?

With the end of the "Twilight" franchise in sight, will star Robert Pattinson follow the lead of "Harry Potter" actor Daniel Radcliffe and segue into the land of musical theater?

Maybe, if Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has his way. The rumor that Pattinson could be eyed for the lead role in the big-screen adaptation of the Green Day album/Broadway musical "American Idiot" picked up some serious steam this week. The only problem is that the "news" is not exactly new, but rather based on speculation from Armstrong more than two years ago, before Pattinson was, well, mega.

Asked who he would like to play Christian, the male lead, Armstrong told Spinner.com in an April 2009 interview, "I'm gonna say maybe that kid in 'Twilight,' [Pattinson]. He's a good actor. There's still more to come with that kid."

So, why is the quote picking up steam now? You can thank VH1's rebooted "Pop Up Video," which recently recycled the rumor when it ran a version of GD's "21 Guns" with a series of bubbles that read, "Hollywood is trying to turn it into a movie ... Billie Joe has said that his first choice to play the main character: Robert Pattinson."

The movie, being produced by Tom Hanks' Playtone in collaboration with Green Day, is currently in pre-production and no casting has been announced. At press time, MTV News could not reach Playtone or Green Day for comment on the rehashed Pattinson rumors or any other casting news.

If true, the choice of Pattinson would not be that outrageous. In addition to being one of today's hottest young male stars, RPattz is still in search of a role that would help him break free of the "Twilight" orbit, and he has a musical background. In addition to playing guitar and piano, he composes his own songs, two of which appeared on the "Twilight" soundtrack. He also contributed three songs to the soundtrack of the little-seen "How to Be."

Like the musical, the movie will be based on the band's 2004 album of the same name, which tells a story of love, loss and war. The Broadway production integrated songs from the original album as well as its follow-up, 21st Century Breakdown, and a previously unreleased tune called "When it's Time." The movie is tentatively slated to hit theaters in 2013.
