50 Cent Goes @ Shyne ….. “MEL GIBSON STYLE!”

50 Cent is a Funny Dude if I do say so myself, but this here takes the cake. During a Def Jam-organized, XXLMag.com-hosted live UStream conference with Shyne (who’s currently in Belize) to promote his new music, Fifty decided to call in not just once, but three times, surprisingly confronting an obviously bewildered Shyne. 50 BLASTED Off with “Shut up n*gga! You’re on an island! You can’t go to war from a f*cking island!” and “I don’t care if you were in jail! I hope you got raped by a pack of n*ggas!”
Perhaps the most interesting part of the “conversation” is when Fif declares “F*ck Def Jam”—the label where his ex-manager and confidante, Sha Money XL, now heads the A&R department. Watch The Drama Unfold. HiLARIOUS!

Fantasia Released From The Hospital.

This has been the week from HELL for American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino. But I’m happy to report she’s home from the hospital & feeling better. Thank God! Her manager, Brian Dickens, says “She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans. She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration.” That’s Right ‘Tasia! Get your mind Right & leave these Bum Ass Dudes Alone!

Everything came to a head when ‘Tasia was named in a court filing alleging that she was having an affair with a married man. The singer denied she was responsible for breaking up the marriage of Paula and Antwuan Cook. However, on Tuesday admitted having dated Cook “off and on for 11 months.”  ‘Tasia says she believed Cook and his wife were separated, and is now “heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused.”

When NBA Wives Attack!

NBA player Earl Watson filed for divorce from his wife Jennifer Freeman, claiming the “My Wife and Kids” actress attacked him in a late night rage … and savagely bit him on the chest until he bled. WHOA! Sounds painful. According to legal papers filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, Watson claims things got bad on August 1st, when Jennifer received a suspicious text message at 11PM and Earl decided to check her phone. Watson, who played with the Indiana Pacers last season, claims his wife was furious that he took the phone and reacted by hitting him “forcefully twice in the face with her right open hand.” Oh MY! Watson claims Jennifer then “grabbed my right wrist and bit … breaking the skin, leaving teeth marks and drawing blood.”  Once she let go of the wrist, Watson claims she then chomped down on his chest … again drawing blood. Earl claims Jennifer then tried to attack him with an iron, but he was able to knock it out of her hand.  Now, Earl wants a divorce ASAP, along with full custody of their 10-month-old daughter.

That was then. This Is Now!

Earl done changed his mind about the divorce. WHAT!!??? Yeah, he plans to withdraw his divorce petition tomorrow and he’s reconciled with the wife who allegedly brutalized him.  The couple has reconciled their differences and plans to make their marriage work.

I Can’t …

Montana Fishburne: Passion For Porn @ Age 16!

Okay, now her story is changing. Montana Fishburne told UsMagazine.com that she did NOT do porn to jumpstart her acting career, but that she’s had a passion for porn that developed at age 16! “I had a little passion inside me to do porn,” Fishburne said of her passion project. “I didn’t really want to tell too many people about it because I was afraid of their reactions when I was younger. I started thinking about it … when I was 16.” That was the age, Fishburne says, when she lost her virginity and underwent a sexual awakening of sorts that led to her first sex tape. “I wanted to see everything that I would like, every kind of fantasy I would like, and porn is a way that I could explore that.

Fishburne’s sex tape has just been released to stores, but according to TMZ.com, back orders for the title are so tremendous that Vivid Entertainment, which distributed the tape, has offered her a multi-picture contract to cash in on her marketability.

There still has been no public comment from Laurence Fishburne on his daughter’s career choice, although she previously told TMZ that her mother, fitness trainer Hajina Moss-Fishburne, had offered her support. The gossip site also reported that her father’s friends had offered to buy the entire shipment of her tape for $1 million but were too late to block the distribution. Still, Us Weekly reports that there was no ill will toward her father in Montana Fishburne’s decision to get into the porn business. “I absolutely didn’t make this movie to hurt my parents or bring shame to my family name.” she said. Uh-Huh!

BLOK HEAD OF THE WEEK: Man Jumps Out Window To Avoid Paying Child Support.

A deadbeat Chicago dad risked his life Tuesday to avoid paying child support. Ronald “Boobie” McIntyre broke both of his legs trying to escape the police, who were pursuing him on an arrest warrant for leaving his children in the lurch, NBC Chicago reports. McIntyre, 35, owes $5979.66 in court-mandated support for his kids.

Chased by police to an apartment building near his home, he jumped out of a third-story window to get away, landing on the ground below. When police arrived, a woman at the residence told them McIntyre had disappeared. But during their search of the apartment, a child directed the officers to an open window, which led them to their suspect. They “looked down and saw McIntyre lying on the ground below,” the sheriff’s office told the Chicago Tribune. “Though it appeared he landed on grass, it was actually artificial turf covering concrete.” The police ran to McIntyre, but even in his crippled state he shouted expletives at them and tried to wriggle  away. The cops handcuffed him to a gate and he was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries.

Court records obtained by the Tribune reveal McIntyre’s checkered past. He has been arrested 14 times and has 80 criminal convictions unrelated to the child support warrant, including 21 for assault.
