50 Cent’s baby mama, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10-year-old son were rescued from a burning house in Long Island early this morning, May 30th.

Six people are hospitalized after a suspicious fire burned down a the $2.4 million home owned by 50-Cent, according to Dix Hills Fire Chief Larry Feld. Also, the Arson Squad on the scene of the of the blaze, characterized the fire as highly suspicious.

Earlier this year Shaniqua Tompkins sued 50 Cent. She claimed 50 Cent had promised her the $2.4 million house. A judge ordered the mother of three to vacate the mansion next month.

Shaniqua Tompkins believes that 50 Cent is trying to kill her. She has been in court fighting for the property. Tompkins said 50 Cent promised her the house 10 years ago.

Ray J Thrown From DC Hotel | Boat Drug

Ray J's claim to fame is making a s** tape with Kim Kardashian. But... he is a famous hip hop artist who reportedly was thrown out of a Washington, DC hotel over the Memorial Day weekend.

According to reports, Ray J returned to his hotel room with a group of friends on Saturday night. Later, hotel security knocked on his door informing him that there was too much noise coming out of his hotel room. Security reportedly found marijuana and a drug called Boat.

The rapper's security staff pulled him from the room, according to reports. Ray J then checked into the Holiday Inn down the street.

Ray J's publicist denies he was forced from the DC Hotel. The rep says,

The altercation did not directly affect Ray J. It was people in his entourage. But he did the gentlemanly thing and left the hotel anyway.

Well... glad they cleared that up. Sounds like everyone had a good time during the Holiday weekend.

Check out Ray J singing "Sexy Can I" song below, featuring Yung Berg.

Britney Spears In Studio Recording New Album

Britney Spears is headed back to the studio to begin recording a new album. She is working with producers J. R. Rotem and Sean Garrett. This is what Rotem had to say about working with Spears:

She's great. She's like a master at what she does. She's a lot more experienced than most people. She just has the "it" factor that not every artist has. So it's always nice to work with her.

Spears is in the "experimental stages" of recording. This album is a follow-up to her last album, "Blackout." Spears is trying to find the right sound and direction to go in. According to an insider, Spears has been playing the piano a lot and just singing. It has been reported that Spears misses "just singing."

We're sure all her fans can hardly wait to see what the talented and gifted Britney Spears will create next. We know it will be innovative, for sure.

Check out Britney's song, Gimme More:

Shania Twain | Mutt Lange | Marie Ann Thiebaud

Shania Twain
Robert "Mutt" Lange
Shania and Mutt's 14-year-old marriage is over. It has been reported that they are separated and on the way to the divorce court any day now. But we did not know the cause of the break up. Well... now we do.

According to several sources the marital split was caused by Mutt's relationship with Marie Ann Thiebaud, the longtime secretary and manager of the couple's chateau in Switzerland.

Robert "Mutt" Lange said the split was "an unfortunate thing." And, according to People magazine, Mutt added, "It's literally just a growing apart, that's all."

Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, were married in 1993 and have a 6-year-old son. The gossip is that the couple does not venture out much and the hubby is quite reclusive. He is a songwriter and producer who prefers to stay secluded in the couple's homes in Switzerland and New Zealand while Twain is on the road. Are you thinking what we are thinking?

One of Shania Twain's hit songs is You're Still the One. That tune might have changed right now in her private life. Check out the Video Clip, below:

Kenny Chesney | Entertainer of the Year | Academy of Country Music Awards | Raw Video

Kenny Chesney was happy to receive the award of "Entertainer of the Year" for the 4th year in a row, but he did not like the way he was chosen to win. Chesney complained about the Academy of Country Music using fan votes to determine the winner.

"The entertainer of the year trophy is supposed to represent heart and passion and an amazing amount of sacrifice, commitment and focus. That's the way Garth won it four times, that's the way I won it, that's the way (George) Strait won it, Reba (McEntire), Alabama all those years. That's what it's supposed to represent."

This is the first time in 43 years the top prize was determined through online voting. This prize, Entertainer of the Year, had always been decided by ACM members.

Miley Cyrus | Got Milk? | Racy Ad

After Miley and her green bra photo and the Vanity Fair business you would think Miley Cyrus would try to revive that squeaky-clean image and bring those TV ratings of Hannah Montana show back to normal. But, who knows what these celebs are thinking.

It seems as if Miley Cyrus and her backers think that a young girl sprawled across a chair in a tight-fitting top and a milk mustache is an ok image to project for a girl her age.

A lot of people across the web seem to think that the poster was a bad choice. Some of her fans' parents worry that Cyrus’s handlers are not doing a good job in keeping her away from controversial issues. This comes just weeks after Miley was seen wearing just a satin sheet for that Vanity Fair photo session.

It looks like Miley Cyrus's Disney days are numbered. Maybe Miley Cyrus is choosing to leave the "Good Girl" image behind.

Check out this video clip from the Miley and Mandy Show:

Ashlee Simpson Wedding | Pete Wentz

Ashlee Simpson, 23, and Pete Wentz, 28, were married Saturday night, May 17, 2008. It was an intimate ceremony which included around 150 guests. It has been reported that Ashlee wore an ivory laced gown by Monique Lhuillier with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane.

The location for the wedding was in Los Angeles at the home of Ashlee Simpson's parents. Joe Simpson, Ashley's father, officiated at this non-denominational ceremony.

Howard Stern | Dolly Parton | Audiobook Skit

Dolly Parton is outraged over an on-air skit, by US radio shock jock Howard Stern, which made her sound racist and sexually explicit.

Bits were sliced from an audio book, Parton had narrated, to make it sound as if she made these terrible remarks. A regular feature on the Howard Stern show is that of Celebrity audiobook splicing.

This is parody, but it made Dolly Parton sound racist and twisted. Dolly Parton reacted to the joke. This is the statement she issued:

"I have never been so shocked, hurt, and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing.

Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this."

Check out the Video Clip (Audio Only) below. This was meant as a parody by shock jock Howard Stern. After listening to the clip, what do you think? Do you think Dolly Parton would win or lose if she sues for "defamation of character?"

American Idol Top 2 | May 14 | Fantasia Barrino

Who are the American Idol Top 2 contestants? The two Davids, of course. There were no shockers this season. David Cook and David Archuleta are the two contestants left, on American Idol, to duke it out next week.

Syesha, a 21-year-old singer/actress from Sarasota, FL was the last woman standing. She gave it her best shot. She provided some great entertainment choosing the perfect songs to show off her personality. She would be a wonderful performer on Broadway. You can look for her to have a successful career in the entertainment industry. Syesha Mercado is one smart young lady.

Coming back to the two Davids, we see the cream always rises to the top. It should be a friendly "battle" next week. It's difficult to predict which one will come out the victor. Whether it is Archuleta, the 17-year-old prodigy from Utah, or Cook, the 25-year-old former bartender from Missouri, one thing is certain -- the next American Idol's name will be "David."

In case you missed the show on May 14th, here are video clips, below. Fantasia Barrino was the guest performer (See Clip #2). Check it out. Enjoy!

Who Knocked Out Suge Knight?

Who knocked out Suge Knight?

According to one witness: Apparently Suge and his henchmen cornered some guy about some money in the club and roughed him up. After things calmed down a bit, the guy caught up to Suge outside and delivered a vicious right hook that had Suge seeing stars. Witnesses say Mr. Knight was kssing th pavement for a good 3 minutes before he was scraped off the pavement and loaded into an SUV.

Suge was bloodied after the incident and taken to the hospital where LAPD officers arrived, but he refused to file a report.

Here is another version:

"The brawler, who owns a barbershop in L.A., tells us he was playfully arguing with a friend outside the club about money when Suge, who's also friends with the man, misunderstood and thought it was serious. He stepped up to defend his boy -- and that's when the altercation took place. He also says reports he had a weapon are untrue.

Get this -- the barber (he didn't want us to use his name) is only 5'10" and weighs 173 lbs. Suge stands 6'3" and tips the scales at 315 lbs."~source: TMZ

Check out the video that was uploaded to YouTube. It shows pics of what happened Saturday night.

George Clooney Calls Paris Hilton A Wannabe

George Clooney indicates that Paris Hilton is a "wannabe" actress.
Here is what Clooney stated:

“There is a funny thing that happens when you are a young actor. You equate financial success and getting jobs with whether or not you are good at it. And it still happens. That’s why there is Paris Hilton. Now I’m in trouble with Paris Hilton."

Well, what do you expect, Mr. Clooney, in our age of "Celebrity Worship?" This is the New Media. We are bombarded with electronic images -- mainly video and photo -- and it's all digital. It is a great technological advancement in our society. Unfortunately, there is a downside. No longer is there a need seen by others to study their craft. Just have the right look, the money, and the right connections. If you have all of that, The World is Yours! That's the name of the game.

Paris Hilton celebrates her birthday by performing with the PussyCat Dolls. Would you give her a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 out of 5 Stars? Or, is she just a WANNABE performer? Feel free to comment.

Dwayne Wade's Converse 2.0 Commercial


Finally... It has been confirmed! Dwayne Wade said that he and Star Jones are "Just Friends." You can read the full report, by the Associated Press, below. Enjoy!:

ATLANTA (AP) — Dwyane Wade has finally spoken up about his alleged romance with Star Jones: "Star is an unbelievable woman. We have a great, great relationship. As friends."

"We're friends, just like a lot of celebrities. We are friends," the Miami Heat star said Thursday during a guest appearance on "Inside the NBA," the jocular TNT show featuring Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

"Are y'all close friends?" Smith asked.

"We're good friends," Wade responded.

"Are you the kind of friends that drink out of one cup with two straws?" Smith persisted, referring to a much-discussed photo of Wade, 26, and Jones, the 46-year-old TV personality who recently filed for divorce, at a tennis match. "Those kind of friends?"

"We are friends. That's all," said Wade, who is married to his high school sweetheart and has two sons.

"Good friends?" Barkley interjected.

"Naw, Chuck," Wade said with a smile.

Some hilarity ensued. Barkley broke through the commotion to say, "I like Star. She's a cougar."

"What's a cougar?" Smith asked, not so innocently, a perfect lob to Barkley.

Sir Charles promptly slammed the ball home: "Preying on a young Dwyane Wade."

Representatives for Jones did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday night.
