[Twitter Feud] Ciara Vs. 50 Cent??

In the latest news of celebrity twitter fueds besides Chris Brown and Raz B, 50 Cent and Ja Rule, we now have Ciara to add to that list. This time 50 Cent isn't starting the beef as so it seems, but will he finish it?

Ciara came for 50 Cent with this subliminal tweet saying,

Of course 50 Cent, the master of controversy didn't hold back. He replied with the following message,

Ciara kept it coming but stayed classy with it, she replied instantly

Ciara definitely knew what she was asking for when she tweeted that first message. As we all know, 50 Cent isn't one to back down from no one, male or female, friend or enemy. Some seem to believe this is nothing more than a mere publicity stunt, hmm..we shall see.

Nicki Minaj sits down to chop it up with London's own Tim Westwood on getting married to labelmate Drake and having his kids. Whoa!

Chris Brown Announces Release Date For "F.A.M.E" Album

After releasing the "In My Zone 2" mixtape, Chris Brown is now preparing for his fourth studio album,
"F.A.M.E (Forgiving All My Enemies)," featuring the remix to the hit song, "Deuces," along with his
most recent pop track, "Yeah 3x."

For the upcoming album Chris teamed up with producers Jim Jonsin, Polo Da Don and Kevin McCall with appearances from artists such as Lil Wayne, Asher Roth, Wiz Khalifa, Justin Bieber and more.

Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now," features Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes which is set to release as the albums second single on February 1, 2011.

According to Brown's twitter, fans can expect a double disc album with the second side being titled, "Fortune." The release date for "F.A.M.E," is set for March 22, 2011.

Unfortunately, Diddy is involved in an alleged scandal and is currently undergoing a $900 billion lawsuit in a filing obtained by RadarOnline.com

The alleged victim, Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks has set out a restraining order against rapper/mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming he injured her children during the World Trade Center tragedy that took place in 2001.

Diddy's former girlfriend Kim Porter and famed LAPD assault victim Rodney King are being accused as well.

"[Diddy] went through Kim Porter and Rodney King and knocked down the WTC and then they all came and knocked my children down. Set me up to be on disability and disabled my baby. he put my baby in a wheelchair."

Turks goes on to accuse Diddy of more disturbing incidents that allegedly took place, "He date raped me 24 years ago and knocked me down him and Kim Porter and Wallace Wright, then Sean Combs and Kim and Wallace Wright came back 18 years later and raped and sexually abused my children and knocked my children down and crushed me and my children daily."

“Plus I won a lot of money at the casino in Mississippi and Sean P. Diddy Combs has my chip to my money. I heard he gave it to Gwen Allen to hold but she can not cash it in. I want my chip please help me. it's well worth over 100 zillions of dollars, and my hospital keys. They put me and my baby in the hospital and broke my baby 2 legs and sexual assaulted my children and crushed us."

Although Turks appears to be delusional, the hearing is set for Monday, January 31, 2011. The judge refused to issue a temporary restraining order.

With the release of his latest single, "6 Foot 7," landing the Rolling Stone cover and preparing for his upcoming North American I Am Music Tour II, Lil Wayne is also gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated upcoming solo album, "Tha Carter IV." Mack Maine spoke with XXLmag.com and revealed the release will be sooner than later.

“I was in the studio all night workin’ on this Carter IV,” the Young Money President told XXL. “We pretty much finished, to be honest; we probably need about two more songs. We got David Banner coming in tonight, so hopefully he’ll come with somethin’. We try to make sure—he kind of makes every album. He made Tha Carter III, and made [We Are Young Money].”

Aside from production from Swizzy aka Swizz Beatz and producer Detail for Ray J's "Sexy Can I", we can expect features from the Young Money artists, Nicki Minaj and Drake. Mack Maine hints that there are other artists he wants to keep as a suprise. "I’m gonna keep the features a surprise,” he said, before revealing that Weezy “just did something with somebody he never worked with, though.”

Mack Maine gives his intake on Waynes approach on "Tha Carter IV," along with revealing details on Wayne's "6 Foot 7" video directed by Hype Williams.

“Expect maturity and him showing his growth in the game,” he assured. “[Wayne] actually shot his first video with Hype Williams, which is big. We just finished a four-day video shoot, which is like a movie to me.”

During a post-game interview, Brown answered questions regarding his marriage saying, "It's true," he said. "I really don't know what else to say about it. It's true. That's my wife. I'm her husband. We gonna continue to make positive things happen."

The couple met last year on the set of Monica's, "Love All Over Me," while Shannon played her love interest. Shortly after, they were said to be engaged.

Steve Harvey's Ex-Wife Mary Harvey Reveals The Truth On Youtube

Comedian, radio personality and best-selling author Steve Harvey behind the books, "Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man," and his follow-up titled, "Straight Talk, No Chaser," is catching heat from ex-wife Mary Harvey who recently released numerous videos via YouTube, airing out Steve Harvey's dirty laundry.

In the videos, Mary Harvey goes on to explain her entire marriage with ex-husband Steve Harvey. She talks about the infidelity in their relationship and says Steve took their son and left her homeless.

Mary explains that she was aware of Steve's mistress and now current wife Marjorie Bridges after receiving her "confidential" envelope. "I had committed to growing old with him. The first time I was aware of Marjorie [Bridges], I had nothing else to say ... I had given it all for the sake of my marriage and my family," she says.

The couples divorce took place in 2005. Two years after their divorce Steve married Marjorie Bridges. "When I think about how quickly he moved from me to Marjorie, that was disturbing," she said in the video.

You might ask, why is Mary now deciding to reveal the truth on Steve Harvey, six years after their divorce.

Well, she claims that Steve is suing her saying, "In Steve's opinion, I was responsible when Oprah did not give him a TV show," she says. "I'm being sued for that. That is why I'm saying what I have to say ... So as much as I'm trying to move forward, I keep getting pulled back into a situation that I don't want to be a part of."

According to Steve Harvey's attorney, a statement was released via PEOPLE stating, "We are appalled and aware of the videos and other fabricated documents ... which contained false, misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and others ... We are saddened that the ex-wife has resorted to such devious and selfish behavior, with a reckless disregard for their minor son, her adult son and Mr. Harvey's other children."

As far as I'm concerned, Steve Harvey already exposed his past life in his books. He never said he was a saint, everything that he has learned prior to his marriage with Marjorie has taught him to be the man he is today. Steve doesn't need Oprah to help him with anything. His first book, "Act Like A Lady, Think LIke A Man," went on to tell well over 2 million copies making him the best-selling author, "Straight Talk, No Chaser," already sold 1 million copies and he operates his own radio show, Oprah who? I think Steve is doing just fine considering the success he's gained thusfar.

Keyshia Cole sings, "I Ain't Thru," but it seems like she already is, regarding her longtime manager Manny Halley whom she recently fired.

On January 17th, Keyshia Cole took to her twitter account to write the following statement,

A few moments later, Keyshia went on to tweet what seems to be the underlying factor behind her decision,

Although Keyshia has revealed her decision to move on from Manny Halley's management, she hasn't spoke in depth on the situation which leads speculators to conclude it was because of low record sales.

Keyshia Cole's latest album, "Calling All Hearts," which released late last month on December 21st sold 128,000 units in it's first week leaving the album at No.9 on the Billboard album charts, in retrospect to her last album, "A Different Me," which did exceptionally well went on to sell 322,000 units during the first week and peaked at No. 2 on the charts. As of January 9th, "Calling All Hearts,"only sold 181,300 units.

According to the Associated Press, Keyshia stated her latest single, "I Ain't Thru," featuring Nicki Minaj, was a bad decision and her label, Interscope Records agreed.

"The label didn't really want to drop the record because they knew ... that people wanted a more intense, soulful record from me about love and I really should have followed (their) direction,"

Apparently Halley felt indifferent and pushed for the singles release. "I Ain't Thru," peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop song charts.

At press time, a rep for Cole did not respond to a request for a statement.

Lil Jon In Trouble With The IRS

What!? (Lil Jon Voice)

Producer/Rapper, Lil Jon is being held liable by the government to pay back over half a million dollars in taxes.

[Video] Snoop Dogg ft. Marty James - El Lay

Snoop Dogg is joining in on the viral approach inspired by Kanye West's G.O.O.D Friday campaign with his "Puff Puff Pass Tuesdays." Every Tuesday fans can expect new releases from his forthcoming album, "Doggumentary," set to release on March 29.

Here's Snoop Dogg's latest video release titled, "El Lay" featuring Mary James.

Kanye West: "I Won't Always Say The Right Thing, But My Heart Is Always In The Right Place"

Here we go again, Mr. West always seems to find himself back at square one.

Britney Spears new single, "Hold It Against Me" peaked at #16 on the Pop billboard charts with a record-breaking 4,061 plays. Kanye West and Jay-z are preparing a collaboration album together titled, "Watch The Throne," with "H.A.M" being the first official single. Of course, Kanye had to rain on Britney's parade.

Yesterday, Kanye West took to his twitter and tweeted the following to Britney Spears

"H*A*M #2 on ITunes… THANK YOU!!!"

"@britneyspears: Yo britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and jay-z single is one of the best songs of all time.

Kanye later added "LOL" to the end of his tweet.
Britney Spears manager, Adam Leber tweeted a response,

"@kanyewest Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated…."

Later on, Leber added the LOLs to his tweet.
After deleting his tweet to Britney Spears, Kanye went on to say

"I thought LOL signified a joke… I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo… LOL or something else I guess

On a serious note I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears… No hate in 2011!"

I guess LOL's signifies hate when it comes down to Kanye's situation. Mr. West took to his twitter again to address the issue in depth this time,

"Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany.This sh*t takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work.There’s a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago!

I’m one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real. There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space! I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes. How can u “let” someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me. When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all! But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style!

As pop stars we’re all in this shit together! We on the inside of the TV! If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar…

If you don’t give em a story they just make one up. I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope shit to the world! Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum!

You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners. I won’t always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place."

Well said, although I don't think he needed to explan himself. He already said what he meant behind it but of course the media will blow it out of proportion. Oh well ..*Kanye shrug*

Kanye West's Good Music/Def Jam artist Big Sean sits down with HardKnock Tv to speak on his comparisons to Mr. Soulja Boy Tell 'Em and he doesn't seem too thrilled about it. Big Sean goes on to recite a verse from "Big Nut Bust" off his latest mixtape Finally Famous Vol.3, with a planted look of confusion on his face, Sean wants to know did anyone actually listen to the track?

Rihanna and Roc Nation artist J.Cole got together for the official remix to "S&M," from the Loud album.

Listen as J.Cole blesses us with his greatness or this track.

J.Cole didn't go too hard, but that's understandable. It's a club track for people to get drunk to and dance, right?

Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne "Roman Revenge 2.0" (Remix)

Just when we thought it was over, done, finito, Lil Wayne decided to bless us with Roman's Revenge 2.0.

The original was hot, especially after realizing it was a diss track directed at the Queen Bee, Lil Kim, but honestly I'm over this song. With or without the collabs it's still a great diss track, even though it's not blatantly obvious, unless you're either an hip-hop head or the ultimate Nicki Minaj fan.

Listen to Roman's Revenge 2.0 ft. Lil Wayne Remix

What do you think about Wayne's verse? Better than Eminem's?

Are wedding bells in the near future for rapper Common and Serena Williams? We all would like to hope so.

Selita Ebanks, best friend of Serena Williams recently made an appearance on the Wendy Williams show and of course, Wendy mentioned the alleged engagement. Selita answered,

"ouh child, I’m the best friend and I wouldn’t be the best friend if I told you, so I don’t know”. Wendy then told Selita, “You have to work on your deception skills because by not answering, we are going to assume it’s true."

Selita replied with a swift comeback statement saying,"You know, he’d be a very smart man if he married her."

A rep for Serena has since released a statement claiming that the reports are false

Willow Smith, daughter of Will and Jada is enjoying the success of her latest single, "Whip My Hair," accumulating over 24 million hits on YouTube. The media is soaking in Willow's every move, keeping the fans intrigued with her interesting sense of style. Vanity Fair and Willow joined forces for another one of her wild and fun photo shoots.

The Roc Nation superstar is currently working on her debut album which is set to release in March. She speaks on being apart of Jay-z's label, and also mentions her love for Bey aka Mrs. Carter.

“It is very cool, because Jay really welcomes me and makes me feel like the record label is a place where I can have fun and talk about my career. He and his people make me feel like I’m a part of something. And I love Beyoncé—she’s awesome!”

Next month Willow Smith will join Justin Bieber in Europe on his world tour.

Make that money girl!

Natalie Nunn of The Bad Girls Club took to her Ustream to voice her feelings on her past relationship with Wiz Khalifa and his new boo, Amber Rose.

"With all due respect, I give a b*tch credit when credits deserved… you a paid hoe be a paid hoe. You want to compare me to these other little b*tches that have no, f**king honor sh*t like me?! …when the next b*tch comes up and she’s done sh*t that I’ve done without coat tail riding on me or these b*tches out here who haven’t sucked n*ggas d**k to be put on. I didn’t suck no motherf**king d**k to get into no motherf**king USC. Two degress from USC.

….I still have two degrees that you can not take from me. Okay, not a degree as a stripper, you feel me?! Not a degree as a stripper, a f**king degree. One of the best soccer players in the f**king country, ran on the junior Olympic track team. So with all due respect, I’m not trying to take nothing from the next b*tch but y’all motherf**kers is gonna stop comparing me to these wack ass WANNABE Bad Girls. Cause a Bad Bitch got a f**king degree! So see me when you got a f**king piece of paper that says SOMETHING on it!!!"

She also explains that she is a bad b*tch because Wiz Khalifa chased her down and Amber Rose has her sloppy seconds..

"How I want to end this story is….I wish the best of luck to Amber Rose, I wish the best of luck to Wiz. I don’t wish bad on nobody…I don’t have a heart like that, I just don’t give a f**k. [He] was hawking me! At the end of the day, I’m just a bad b*tch. I’m grinding…I got some sh*t coming out, I got another show about to air. We didn’t tape a pilot, we taped the show and it’s not behind my green money eyes. It’s about Natalie being a bad b*tch. At the end of the day, I respect everything, I respect everybody. If you disrespect me, I’m going to get all in your motherf**king ass. So if there is a retaliation video just make sure you understand what you are saying before you say anything because I got dirt and I don’t like to throw dirt, I like to bury b*tchies in f**king dirt.

At the end of the day if you have something to say…all due respect, say what you got to say. But at the end of the day, your new sh*t was my sloppy seconds"

Chris Brown Goes In On Paparazzi When Asked About "Raz B"!

I don't understand why Chris is taking this so serious. With everything that he accomplished and the penalization he received over the past year, you would think he learned his lesson by now. When people know what to do and say to push your buttons, they'll never stop. Tyga didn't even respond when asked the same question, so he knows how to play the game. Like my favorite rapper Nas said,

"THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical

Talkin all that slick sh*t, the same way these b*tches do

Wonder what my secrets is, ni**az'll move on you

only if they know, what your weakness is, I HAVE NONE"

Keep your head up Chris Breezy!

Wiz Khalifa + Stargate Producers = A Major Hit!

Wiz Khalifa went from being an underground artist to becoming one of most sought after MC's in hip-hop as of late, thanks to the pop production team, Stargate, of the latest hit single, "Black & Yellow," who are also known for their work with Ne-Yo, Beyonce and Chris Brown.

Wiz spoke with MTV on the creative chemistry he experienced while working with the Stargate production team:

"It was just a good mixture," Wiz told MTV News about working with the Swedish producers. "When we got in the studio, I think the first day in the studio with them I did two songs and a hook. They kept throwing me beats and I kept knocking out hooks and verses over them. So I think just the vibe was there. The music that we were making is real potent. It was like, 'We got to do it [and collaborate].' "

"Black & Yellow" received quite a buzz, it also gained attention from some of the biggest names Hip-Hop. The remix to "Black & Yellow" features Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J.

"They know how to make hits, man," he said of the Stargate team. "They know how to put a song together. So I learned to do my part and let them do their part. And that's when it goes crazy. 'Cause I do a lot of different things when I record my music. And they go back and we narrow it down. And that's how those big songs come out."

Wiz Khalifa is doing big things, I've been on him since "Say Yeah." I'm glad he's now getting the recognition he deserves.

Keri Hilson Speaks On No Boys Allowed + Reveals A Possible Crush?

Watch as The Ladies Room takes you behind the scenes with Keri Hilson for a special interview along with performances from her latest, "No Boys Allowed" album. She also speaks on a certain entertainer whom she finds appealing, hmm.

As dedicated fans patiently waited for Oprah Winfrey's highly anticipated cable and satellite network "OWN" to make it's debut on January 1, 2011, other's weren't too enthusiastic. Disgruntled fans left comments bashing the show on Oprah.com for replacing The Discovery Health channel. After only a week of being in rotation, the fans aren't the only ones voicing their concerns.

Shelia Johnson, the co-founder of BET network added her two-cents, expressing her views on Oprah's OWN Network saying the show has a "lack of diversity" during an interview with NPR's "Tell Me More."

“The only advice that I say, let’s open up your circle a little bit more. You know, we love the Dr. Phils. We love the Suze Ormans. Let’s open up. There are other people. And there’s also African-American experts out there that I think she should start bringing on her show that can reach even a wider audience.”

Sheila said she sees Oprah's new venture as a missed opportunity because of its lack of diversity. While saying Oprah has the power to create opportunities for minorities, Sheila said she hopes one day this will become a reality.

“And I think she really should do that and not be afraid to do it. There’s really a lot of great experts out there that really know the businesses at hand. And I’d like to see her open up her circle to do that.”

Diversity can never hurt. You need more than one type of fruit to make a fruit salad and you need more than one type of vegetable to make a vegetable salad. That is all I'll say about this topic.
