Do we smell another rapper feud in the works? During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, 50 Cent was asked to name the most “overrated” hip hop star of all-time… and he didn’t hesitate with his response. “Jay Z,” Fiddy replied. “He would say he was overrated. Rather be overrated than underpaid.” The artist was also asked about Jay Z’s prettier half after having admitted that he had an argument with Beyonce in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve. “Her breath doesn’t smell,” the 38-year-old rapper responded. “But it’s one of those things, like the paparazzi were taking pictures of us at the same time, so there’s not really a right way to respond. You’ve just got to accept it. You’ve just got to have an expression on your face like, ‘What’s the matter with you?'” Host Andy Cohen also asked 50 Cent what sex with Kim Kardashian was like. “I never….,” 50 Cent said, insisting reports of a hookup were false. “We took pictures with each other in Australia at the 2008 MTV Awards and I posted the picture” and that’s it, he emphasized. That’s too bad. We can think of some other men who have slept with Kim Kardashian , however. Back to Jay Z, though: Do you think he’s overrated? Yes, totally! No way! View Poll »
If you’re already wondering how you’ll get your sexy vampire fix after True Blood’s final season comes to a close this summer, worry not: Sookie Stackhouse and company may be Broadway-bound. True Blood creator Alan Ball is reportedly working with HBO and composer Nathan Barr to produce a musical version of the beloved HBO series. Of course, in order to really stay true to the spirit of Bon Temps, the show would have to be a strictly 18-and-older affair. “This was something that I pitched to Alan Ball and HBO,” said Barr at a recent season seven premiere party. “I think we’re really trying to return to the roots of the show.” In other words, don’t expect all of your favorite vamps, werewolves, and telepathic fairies to appear on stage, as the musical will focus mainly on the beginning stages of Sookie’s story. Still, it’s exciting news for diehard True Blood fans…or just folks who want to see naked people on stage, but can’t bring themselves to go to a strip club. No word on whether any of the series’ cast members will make the transition to Broadway, but at least one star seems to be interested: Stephen Moyer performed with Carrie Underwood in NBC’s The Sound of Music and says he helped Barr prepare sample musical numbers to present to HBO. If you can’t wait for the musical version, watch True Blood online at TV Fanatic. True Blood: 7 Sex and Violence Highlights! 1.

O.J. Simpson’s longtime associate and former manager Norman Pardo says the disgraced NFL star got a raw deal, particularly involving If I Did It . He spoke out again Tuesday, on the 20th anniversary of Simpson’s infamous arrest for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Pardo claims O.J. didn’t write the controversial book If I Did It , the 2006 tome which explores how Simpson would’ve hypothetically probably killed people . If he did it, that is. If. Personally, we feel that this alternate title and cover (above right) would have been more appropriate under the circumstances, but alas, we digress. According to Pardo, Simpson agreed to claim authorship of If I Did It after being promised a $600,000 payout by NewsCorp and its subsidiary ReganBooks. “I remember when that book was coming out. O.J. called me. He said, ‘Here’s the deal,’ because it was in the news that he was going to do an interview.” “I said, ‘O.J., don’t do it, it’s stupid.’ He said, ‘Hey, they offered me $600,000 not to dispute that I [wrote] the book.’ He said, ‘That’s cash.'” “I said, ‘They’re going to think you wrote it.’ He said, ‘So?'” “‘Everybody thinks I’m a murderer anyway,'” the Juice reportedly told Pardo then. “‘They’re not going to change their mind just because of a book.'” Amid public outcry, the project was yanked, and in 2007, the family of Ron Goldman acquired its rights to satisfy the 1997 wrongful death suit against O.J. So what creep was actually behind the words in If I Did It? “A ghostwriter for [the book’s publisher] wrote the book. [O.J.] was going to do an interview to say, ‘ I wrote the book , blah blah blah,’ and they give him money,” Pardo said. O.J.’s right about one thing in that people do believe he probably killed people – exonerated in the eyes of his Lord as he may be (in his warped mind). That book? Not exactly a positive PR move, however. 15 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People 1. O.J. Simpson O.J. Simpson was arrested for the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, leading to the trial of the century in 1994-95.
Fans took to Twitter on June 16 to celebrate what would have been the 43rd birthday of Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996. To this day, his murder remains unsolved – for good reason, according to Suge Knight and others who claim Tupac is alive – but his legacy lives on. Remembering Tupac Shakur (1971-1996) 1. Tupac Shakur, Mother Tupac Shakur poses here with his mother. The rapper was gunned down at the age of 25. Tupac’s music and life continue to inspire the masses and he has become something of a legend in spite of – or perhaps because of – his premature death. Born June 16, 1971, in East Harlem, 2Pac was also a poet and an actor, a man of surprising depth and talent who transcended popular culture. He’s gone but not forgotten … save for the occasional Tupac hologram performing at Coachella or Broadway show ( Holler If Ya Hear Me ) based on him. A biopic by filmmaker John Singleton is also in the works, which should be awesome for the West Coast hip hop pioneer (of East Coast origins). Music lovers are paying tribute to Tupac on Twitter today with the hashtag #HappyBirthdayTupac. We wish his family and friends the very best.

Ariana Grande delivered another strong performance of “Problem” at the MuchMusic Video Awards last night, even rapping parts of Iggy Azalea’s verse. Donning her signature knee-high boots and classic up-do, Ariana’s sexy-yet-understated dance moves were almost as impressive as her voice. That’s always been her calling card, though. Safe to say she doesn’t lip sync up there, because she doesn’t have to. Girl has got talent and then some. Ariana Grande MuchMusic Video Awards Performance With a silver bra top and high-wasted skirt, Ariana looked like a sexy little disco ball up there. One that can actually carry a tune, to say the least. For whatever reason, Iggy Azalea did not attend the 2014 MuchMusic Video Awards to rap with her, but the 20-year-old Grande picked up the slack. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus threw a tantrum after losing to Selena Gomez, and event co-host Kendall Jenner wore no underwear on the red carpet. So yeah, there was quite a lot going on up in Toronto! Fortunately for Ariana Grande, she managed to remain scandal free. BUT FOR HOW LONG?! 17 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos 1. Ariana Grande Problem Cover The cover for Ariana’s new single.

Prior to L’Wren’s Scott’s suicide in March of 2014, the renowned fashion designer had been dating Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger for nearly 13 years. So Scott’s family was understandably upset to hear reports of Mick dating someone new less than 3 months after her death. They were so angry, in fact, that Scott’s sister blamed Jagger for her suicide . Now the woman with whom Jagger has been spotted in Zurich has been identified, and the timing of their first meeting, coupled with the fact that she’s more than 40 years younger than Mick is unlikely to earn much sympathy for Jagger. Melanie Hamrick is a 27-year-old ballerina who met Jagger in late February of 2014, less than three weeks before Scott’s suicide. The two apparently became close almost immediately which only bolsters the claims made by L’Wren’s sister – Jan Shane – that Scott was driven to depression by Jagger’s womanizing: “The more I think about it the angrier it makes me,” said Shane in a recent interview. “It hasn’t even been three months since she died. I now believe he was a bigger part of her troubles than we knew about.” Shane added, I’m just glad L’Wren doesn’t have to put up with him anymore.” For her part, Hamrick was likely also involved in a long-term relationship at the time she met Jagger. She got engaged to fellow a fellow dancer in 2011. It is unknown if she ended the relationship as a result of her dalliances with Jagger. 17 Celebrities Who Are Known Cheaters 1.
