Common trained hard for hoop body

Tennis champ Serena Williams had nothing to do with her boyfriend Common‘s hard body in the new movie “Just Wright.” The rapper/actor plays an injured basketball player rehabbed by a physical therapist played by Queen Latifah. Common worked out with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak five days a week to get in shape for the role. He showed off his new basketball-star physique at the movie’s premiere party at the Empire Hotel rooftop Tuesday night, where he slam- dunked basketballs with Oprah Winfrey pal Gayle King.
