Lil' Wayne is raising eyebrows tonight with a new diss track aimed at Jay-Z and Beyonce called "It's Good" that features Jadakiss and Drake. Listen to the song and find out what started the beef inside....

Add Lil' Wayne to the list of sensitive rappers who take songs that propbably aren't even about them quite personally.  In a new track called "It's Good" that features Jadakiss and Drake, Weezy throws shots are both Jay-Z and Beyonce in the following lyric:

"Talk about baby money, I got your baby money.
Kidnap your bitch get that that how much you love your lady money
I know you fake nigga, press your brakes nigga.
I’ll take you out, that’s a date nigga.
I’m a grown ass blood, stop playing with me."

So what got Lil' Wayne so upset that he had to threaten to kidnap Beyonce and
take out Jay-Z? 

It seems as though Weezy is responding to a verse in Jay-Z & Kanye's song "H.A.M." that goes:

“Really you got baby money
Keep it real with niggas,
niggas ain’t got my lady money."

I mean, were Jay & 'Ye really thinking about Weezy when they were recording Watch The Throne?

Shaunie O'Neal did an interview with Power 92 in Chicago last week where she revealed that Meeka's career on Basketball Wives is over.

"She’s pretty done, yeah. Paperwork-wise, it’s not official yet. But it will be soon. I mean, it just didn’t work," said O'Neal to the show's hosts. "It didn’t work with anybody in any aspect. I hear she wants to come back, but it just doesn’t make any sense."

Shaunie also revealed Royce’s uncertain future. She said that she's not sure where Royce's head is in terms of returning to the show (which was greenlit for season four) and also addressed how she feels about the excess cattyness.

For Cee-Lo, the last six months of his life have been somewhat of a surprise.

Though he earned his stripes in the late-1990s as the leader of the Southern hip-hop contingent Goodie Mob and earned a boatload of cash, thanks to the success of Gnarls Barkley—the duo he formed with producer Danger Mouse back in 2006—he didn't get his first real taste of solo superstardom until last August when his single "Fuck You" surprisingly soared to the top of the charts in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. It helped his latest album, The Lady Killer, land at the top of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart when it was released in November. And as a result, it's been nominated for "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year" at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.

"And I'll be honest, I don't even know the difference between the two," the Atlanta-born MC/singer told VIBE late last week before a scheduled performance alongside Big Boi at the 2011 Madden Bowl, where he put on a show for NFL players like Reggie Bush, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Miles Austin. "But I was really surprised by the whole thing. I didn't even know the song could be considered. The song was only out for a short while [before it got nominated] but I guess it performed well enough for it to be considered. I guess I was just surprised anyone noticed."

The success that "Fuck You" and Lady Killer afforded Cee-Lo has carried into the new year as well. Last month, he teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow for a performance on Saturday Night Live. And he also did a show earlier this week at Madison Square Garden where he opened up for Prince.

"Prince is my friend," he says. "I performed with Prince one other time during his residency out in Las Vegas [at a club called 3121] and I've been invited out to his house a couple of times. We're definitely fond of each other—well, maybe I'm a little more fond of him than he is of me. But he called me and requested that I come out [first at the Garden] and break the ice. He wanted me to come out before him to help get the crowd ready."

“I think is that that’s something she’s going to have to decide,” Berry says of her daughter’s race. “I’m not going to put a label on it. I had to decide for myself and that’s what she’s going to have to decide-how she identifies herself in the world. And I think, largely, that will be based on how the world identifies her. That’s how I identified myself. But I feel like she’s Black. I’m Black and I’m her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory.”

Recent reports have said that her ex grew angry when their daughter was referred to as “Black.” As for her dating non-Black men of late she says, “I’m very connected to my community, and I want Black people to know that I haven’t abandoned them because I’ve had a child with a man outside of my race and I’m dating someone now outside my race who is Spanish and French. I have never been more clear about who I am as a Black woman[...] And who I really am is a Black woman who is struggling to make my race proud of me, who is struggling to move Black women forward in the profession I’ve chosen, and those relationships have actually helped me identify more clearly.”

Slash was joined by Fergie to perform Guns-N-Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” trying her best to impersonate Axl Rose but most GRN fans felt that was ill-advised. Usher dropped in to perform his Will.i.am produced “OMG” and they closed out with  “Where Is The Love” (complete with heart shaped choreography) and “The Time Of My Life.”

While the Peas get points for energy and stage presence their sound surprisingly just didn’t translate very well to an arena. Here’s to hoping Jay-Z and Kanye West do Super Bowl XLVI.

Beginning as a spin-off of the already popular sitcom The Cosby Show, A Different World was on air from 1987-1993 and inspired practically a whole generation of young college-bound African-American students to consider attending an HBCU themselves. That’s just one of the reasons we love A Different World, but we have 25 more:

1. Hilman College, a fictional HBCU in Virginia.

2. Kappa Lambda Nu

3. Scenes filmed at real-life HBCU’s, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University

4. The Peach Pit hang out area in A Different World was based on the Punch-Out hang out area at HBCU Howard University.

5. Aretha Franklin sang the show’s theme song.

6. The “Getaway” episodes, a two-part story where Dwayne and friends go to Devil’s Island, South Carolina for Spring Break, only to get their bags switched with the bags of drug dealers.

7. The “War and Peace” episode, guest-starring Blair Underwood who plays Dwayne’s childhood friend. Underwood’s character visits Dwayne to let him know he has been assigned to fight in the Persian Gulf, making this episode one of the first fictional sitcoms to deal with the reality of the real-life 1992 Persian Gulf War.

8. Tupac Shakur’s guest appearance as Piccolo, the ex-boyfriend of Lena played by Jada Pinkett.

9. The “It’s Greek To Me” episode where Ron and Dwayne attempt to pledge a fraternity.

10. The show was one of the first sitcoms to deal with real-life issues, such as HIV/AIDS in the African-American community in the “If I Should Die Before I Wake” episode.

11. When Terrell tapes a piece of paper with the words “Digit ho” on the back of Charmaine, the issue of sexual harassment — a hot topic at the time due to the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings — becomes the central issue in this episode’s plot.

12. Patti Labelle as Dwayne Wayne’s mother, Adele Wayne.

13. Sinbad as Walter Oakes

14. Denise Huxtable (played by Lisa Bonet) attended Hilman College.

15. Denise Huxtable’s mother, Claire Huxtable (played by Phylicia Rashad), who was most famous as the mother in The Cosby Show, visits her daughter frequently.

16. Dwayne Wayne joins Phi Betta Kappa.

50 Cent is still starting ish on Twitter.  This time it's with his ex bestie/lover/homie-lover-friend Ciara.  Seems as though one of 50's jokes upset Ci Ci and a very public couple's spat began.  See what name calling went down inside, plus get the deets on 50's production projects with his bestie Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

Seems as though the bevy of Playboy bunnies that 50 Cent met at Hugh Hefner's mansion the other night had him feeling himself because he put some pretty racy comments on Twitter.  That didn't sit too well with (ex-?) gal pal Ciara, who responded with her own subliminal comment. 

Now y'all know how sensitive 50 Cent can be...so of course he went back at her.  See below:  

Luckily he stuck to his word and didn't continue the rift.  You know how mean he can be sometimes. Tisk tisk.

In other Fif news...

Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Mr. Cent were at Sundance last week where they revealed they will partner their companies on movie projects through Fitty's Cheetah Vision Films and Floyd's Mayweather Films.  During the talks, the twosome also said they may do a reality show about their bromance.   Although there is no release date, the duo's first film will be Tomorrow Today, and it's based on one of the 50's first screenplays.

These two with a bromance type reality show?  The jokes will make themselves

Well here's one bod I'm sure folks wouldn't mind seeing without fur.   Oscar nominated actress Taraji P. Henson has teamed up with animal rights group PETA to make it known she'd rather go naked than wear fur.

Her brand new nude and fabulous ad, plus what she has to say about why she's Team Anti-Fur, when you read on...

YBF celebs and sports figures seem to be signing on for PETA's anti-fur campaign left and right.  Fab chick Taraji Henson is the newest celeb to drop all her clothes and bare all for the "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

Taraji, who turned 40 this past September, said she used to wear fur without giving it a second thought—until she saw a documentary that revealed how animals on fur farms are skinned alive. Now, the celebrated actress is the star of a provocative new Los Angeles billboard and New York flyposting campaign for PETA in which she declares, "Fur? I'd Rather Go Naked."

"Education is key," stresses Henson. "When I realized what went into—not just, we're not just even talking about a full-length fur coat, I'm talking about just, like, fur on your gloves or on your jacket … it ripped my heart out. And as humans, we have control. What if someone said, 'Black skin is the new fur'?"

"I don't think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story," concludes Henson. "You don't have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that."

She's set to officially unveil the campaign, which was shot by top celebrity photographer Don Flood, in person at PETA's New York Fashion Week bash on February 10.

We posted Steve Harvey's ex wife Mary's first claims of Steve's cheating and lying on Friday.  Complete with that alleged explicit letter from his mistress, Terry.

 And now, Mary says Steve took EVERYTHING from her--including their son, the money, and their home! She was evicted and left homeless and broke.  Read on for the new video of Mary's allegations of how Steve moved new wife Marjorie in to their apartment without apology, and how he's now suing Mary!

In the new issue of Rolling Stone — on stands and online in the digital archives on January 21st (subscription required) — Lil Wayne opens up for the first time about his time in prison. (See video from his cover shoot below.) During his eight month stint in Building C-76, cell 23 at Rikers Island, Weezy worked as an SPA (suicide prevention aide), listened to a lot of music on the radio (oldies and Hot 97) and played countless games of Uno with his cellmates in the Protective Custody division.

"I'd bust a nigga's ass at Uno," he told writer Josh Eells. "We gamble for phone time. I'd take nigga's commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup."

Y'all know what this is... it's a celebration, bitches! In honor of Kanye West's 33rd birthday, VIBE compiles some flicks of the rapper/producer enjoying the good life. Our gift to 'Ye: We rip down our misguided, premature bashing of his new single. No one man should have all this power!

Regina King covers the February issue of Essence Magazine. The “Hollywood Go-To Girl” shows off those infamous arms and talks about her boyfriend Malcolm Jamal Warner.

“Malcolm and I have a lot in common… we’ve both been child actors and were also blessed to be raised by incredible mothers who instilled good values in us. Things are maturing nicely…”

The mag says, “Twenty-six years after she first charmed us on “227,” Hollywood “go-to girl” Regina King still knows how to play it right. Here, she talks to ESSENCE about having what really matters — a successful career, her commitment to raising her 15-year-old son, and a romance with fellow actor and “Cosby Show” alum Malcolm-Jamal Warner. See how she’s living a full life on her own terms…”

Now that he doesn’t have Playoffs or the Superbowl to worry about, Ochocinco whisked his future Celebreality co-star wife Evelyn Lozada to Spain for a little R&R.

Is the fact that he’s stuffing his face while she pulls her own luggage dead wrong, or are we just old fashioned?

We gotta give it to Ev for looking super fly as she handles the last minute stuff while Chad is posing for pics and sh*t.

The 43-year-old Ms. Braxton took to Twitter this week to ask her fans what they thought about her heavily considering stripping off her clothes and doing Playboy.  She's been offered the opportunity twice before, and maybe the third time will be the charm.

Toni says she will keep it tasteful (don't they all say this?) if she says yes, and she also wants to pose with Hugh Hefner himself. 

The two arrived separately. Evelyn got there first, then Chad, who just got a hair cut, came in the back way trying to elude the paparazzi.  Yet they sat in the front--outside--of the restaurant.  Chad also told all his Twitter followers and celeb friends to meet him there before he went/  They're so funny....

According to a source we dare not mention, Hip Hop groupie Amber Rose may be pregnant!

But what’s even crazier than that…..word on the streets is rapper Fabolous is the pappy!!! We don’t know how true any of this is (and most likely it’s probably not)…but it wouldn’t surprise us at all. And hey, it’s a slow news day!

We will keep you updated on anything else we hear on the matter…

Things between late night talk show host Chelsea Handler and her pretend “boyfriend” 50 Cent may be heating up, according to eyewitnesses in New Orleans this weekend.

Now, let me begin by saying that Chelsea loves herself some rappers (on the low) but she’s also very sarcastic so when I first heard she was really dating 50 cent, I brushed it off.  I mean, as long as she keeps her hands off of my Ricky Rozay we are good. Anyway, On a recent show of hers, she told her guests “Everybody knows I’m trying to go black HARD. Me and 50 are working something out!”.  She also revealed that 50 had just sent her flowers to the studio. Days later while promoting one of her comedy shows on the radio, she revealed that he called and left her a voicemail that said “Hey This is 50, I just want you to know that I was serious about asking you out. Just wanted to know if you are single”.  At the time, she was in a relationship but she recently broke up with her boyfriend

….and possibly took 50 Cent up on his offer.

This past weekend, quite a few people saw 50 Cent and Chelsea hanging out in New Orleans after her show.

Wow 50 Cent and Chelsea Handler were just next to us at Mimis and we didn’t even realize it until they bailed! They are together and hopping Nola hotspots tonight in two black stretch Suburbans. (She is in town for a performance, not sure about fitty.) -504oto on facebook

Yes: Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent in the house. NOT KIDDING. -Richard Read on Twitter

Gotta love bourbon st.!!! Can’t believe we just saw chelsea handler, josh wolf. And 50 cent!!!! -Kate Hollister

50 Cent was spotted with Chelsea Handler in Nashville last Friday. I am surprised the media didn’t pick up on this. -EJohnson11

*shrugs* Well 50 Cent did tweet he wanted to get rid of the Ciara rumors a few weeks ago. Get it Chelsea…

ATLANTA — One of the young men accusing megachurch Bishop Eddie Long of coercing him into a sexual relationship told a TV interviewer that he loved the pastor and considered him a father figure, but still called him a "predator" and a "monster."

"I loved him and I'm always going to have love for the things he taught us, but how he left us hurt worse than anything I ever felt in my life," Jamal Parris told Atlanta's Fox TV affiliate WAGA in an interview broadcast Tuesday. "This man turned his back on us when he had no more need for us. That's not a father, that's a predator."

Parris, 23, is one of four men suing the TV preacher in state court, claiming that he abused his "spiritual authority" and gave them cars, clothes, cash and trips to lure them into sexual relationships while they were teen members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta.

Parris described an ongoing emotional struggle.

"I cannot get the sound of his voice out of my head and I cannot forget the smell of his cologne and I cannot forget the way he made me cry many nights when I drove in his cars on the way home," Parris said. "I'm not able to take enough showers to wipe the smell of him off my body."

A spokesman for Long referred calls to an attorney, who was not immediately available Tuesday night.

When a reporter approached Parris outside a convenience store in Colorado, he at first was reluctant to speak. Then he told WAGA that Long exploited his dreams for a father figure in exchange for sexual favors.

During services at his church Sunday, Long turned to biblical terms to portray himself as an underdog but didn't outright deny the allegations.

"I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet," said Long, who added that while he doesn't claim to be perfect, "I am not the man that's being portrayed on the television."

In the Fox interview, a vehement Parris said Long "manipulated us from childhood" under the guise of providing a fatherly influence. Parris was referring to himself and the other accusers, Maurice Robinson, Anthony Flagg and Spencer LeGrande. They are in their 20s now but were 17 and 18 when they had sexual relationships with Long, the lawsuits say. Long does not face criminal charges.

"This was our father and we loved him," Parris said.

Parris' attorney declined comment.

Speaking to Fox, Parris said Long is not being truthful to his followers. They include athletes, politicians and entertainers in the 25,000-member Lithonia church that has a $50 million, 10,000-seat cathedral and more than 40 ministries. Long, who has been New Birth pastor since 1987, has spoken out loudly against gay marriage.

"That man cannot look me in my eye and tell me we did not live this pain," he said. Addressing a comment to Long, he said, "you are not a man you are a monster."

Also Tuesday, a county prosecutor said Long asked for charges to be dropped against Maurice Robinson in August, about two months after authorities say he and Anthony Boyd broke into the megachurch.

The district attorney's office declined Long's request to drop the charges and is still investigating the case.
