Your boy Flavor Flav hammed it up Friday night at his 50th birthday party at JET nightclub in Vegas at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. We think Mr. Flav is a tad too old to be acting the way he does. Half a century? C’mon, man! You shouldn’t need a big @ss clock to remind you what time it is. Continue reading for more!

British reality television star, Jane Goody, who rose to fame back in 2002 after being on the UK’s version of Big Brother, has reportedly passed away at her home in Upshire, south east England in the early hours of Sunday. The tv personality was battling cancer.
The TV personality was diagnosed with cancer while appearing on India’s reality show Big Boss last August (08), and underwent an emergency hysterectomy. She bravely battled the illness by undergoing chemotherapy, subsequently showcasing her pain and hair loss on TV in reality show Living with Jade Goody. Her cancer spread to her liver, groin, and bowel and she was told earlier this year (09) that her chances of survival had been dramatically reduced. Just days later, doctors gave Goody the devastating news that there was nothing more they could do, and she only had months to live.
After her death was announced, Goody’s mother Jackiey Budden said: “My beautiful daughter is at peace.”
President Obama made a little joke last night when he made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. When he was talking to Jay about his bowling average, he made a comment comparing himself to a participant in the Special Olympics, and unsurprisingly, a lot of people made a big deal about it saying he was out of pocket for making such a comment, but not this one 21-year-old Special Olympian from Brentwood, CA:
Daniel Fletcher, 21, a Brentwood man who has bowled in the Special Olympics, has a message for President Obama: Get ready for some competition. Fletcher went online with his parents Friday afternoon to watch a recording of Obama jokingly likening his bowling style to that of competitors in the Special Olympics.
“I am willing to get a team to challenge him,” Fletcher said. He thought of an alternative: “I’d challenge him myself.”

Chicago radio station WGCI held a meet and greet for rapper Bow Wow at the WGCI Coca Cola lounge yesterday. The rapper spoke and met with fans. His new album, New Jack City II, is set for a March 31st 2009 release.
First the STD rumors, then the pregnancy rumors and now they’re saying that Chris Brown and Rihanna may have a series of tapes featuring kinky acts from the pop princess we all know as Rihanna.
In the March 30 issue of Star — on sale now — we report that Rihanna allowed Chris to record some of their, um, intimate moments and — she worries that the racy tapes could ruin her — especially after seeing how quickly Chris turned on her once before. “Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality,” a source tells Star. “But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out!”
50 Cent and Fall Out Boy are going on tour! … Together. Rapper sh*tty cent will reportedly join Fall Out Boy for 5 cities when the rockers kick off their tour in April.

Pop singer Rihanna (sans the dark shades she’s been wearing since the “incident”) hit up Les Deux nightclub last night in Hollywood with a group of girlfriends. RiRi and four of her friends partied it up in a private area of the club for about three hours and we hear among the group of girlfriends was fellow pop singer Katy Perry. After their little outing, TMZ reports that the group of ladies got pulled over by the LAPD for having no front licence plate and dark tinted windows. Meanwhile, Chris is crusing around Beverly Hills on the passenger side looking like a sick little boy.

Male supermodel Tyson Beckford must have a little hater in him. He told The Associated Press that he isn’t too keen on actors and musicians taking on roles as models posing in magazines and advertising campaigns. He feels like they’re taking jobs from models. He even went as far as saying that magazines and advertisers are going to get tired of airbrushing and making custom apparel for these “celebrity models” so that they can “look pretty” in those campaigns and magazine covers, and will eventually return to using predominately models.
“You have to do a lot of tweaking and airbrushing to get the same from a celebrity that you would get from a model. A lot of celebrities – I’m gonna tell you right now – they’re not 5’11. They’re not a size two to fit into these designer dresses, but the designers want exposure so they’re willing to make the specific dress for that actor or actress to get them to look good on the cover. It’ll all come back around. One day some designer will wake up and say, ‘You know what? I don’t want to use Gwyneth Paltrow. I want to use Adriana Lima, I want to use Gisele (Bundchen), I want to go back to the high fashion.’ I think slowly but surely you’ll see that start happening.”
Well ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black. We seem to remember a few “acting” roles Mr. Beckford has been in. Hypocrite, much?
It’s being reported that rapper 50 Cent has replaced legendary actor Forest Whitaker in Sylvester Stallone‘s upcoming all-star cast film “The Expendables.” Whitaker reportedly had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
According to Sly’s letter sent to AintItCool.com, though there are some who are displeased over 50 Cent’s taking over the role, he’s sticking with the decision. He wrote, “Trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one.”
“Nobody wanted Eric Roberts over Ben Kingsley, but I believe it’s a vastly improved cast. The point is, you either believe in me and the project, setting your personal feelings aside, or you take a darker approach, which really serves no purpose since your insight and suggestions and overall are a great thrill for me to behold everyday I sign on.”
Radio jockey Don Imus, who became a household name back in spring 2007 after he made racist comments referring the ladies of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team “nappy headed hoes,” revealed live on air this past Monday that he is battling stage 2 prostate cancer. He was diagnosed with the disease last Wednesday.
“The day you find out is fine,” he said on the radio. “But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn’t think I could make it to work. I don’t want to have great arrogance about it, but I have great doctors. I’ll be fine. And if I’m not fine, it’s no big deal. The prognosis couldn’t be better.”
Our good friends over at Rap-Up.com are saying that that Weezy’s new album, Rebirth, has suffered yet another push back. The album, which was originally supposed to be released this May, will now see a June 9th release release date … which means that it will no longer compete with Eminem‘s and Busta Rhymes‘ respective Relapse and Back on My B.S. releases.

Word on the sidewalk is that singer Beyonce would like for Guitar Hero to add her songs to their line-up of video games, following in the footsteps of Metallica and Aerosmith.
The singer is a big fan of the popular music simulator and insists she is better at rocking out on Guitar Hero than on the actual instrument. And she would jump at the chance to create a Beyonce edition of the game for her fans. Asked about the possibility of creating her version, she replied: “Definitely. I would love to imagine people playing to my songs.” But the R&B star admits her experiences with karaoke video games are less impressive: “I’ve actually played some karaoke games with the old Destiny’s Child songs. It’s so funny, because I don’t get great scores. I’m like, ‘How is that possible?'”

While we don’t expect either one of them to spend 1 second behind bars, the possibility of 5 years in prison for breaking a camera is absurd. No one was physically harmed or injured, so what’s the big deal?
It looks like Keyshia Cole‘s older sister, Neffeteria, is trying to compete with that crazy Octomom lady. Word on the sidewalk is that homegirl is pregnant again, and she didn’t seem to happy about it in a recent interview with S2S Magazine. This would make child number 5, and if you remember, she JUST gave birth to Jaylen back in 2008. This would be Neffe’s first child with her fiancee So
“I’m pregnant and I got an attitude with him and don’t want him to f***ing touch me right now—or ever,” Neffe told Jamie. “Because I—was not supposed to happen this way. Now I’m trying to figure this s**t out, ’cause I just had Jaylen.”
The paparazzi caught Chris Brown riding around Beverly Hills in a Bentley looking like someone stole his joy. Too bad the singer only has himself to blame. Word is he and Rihanna are taking a break from their relationship, but they haven’t officially called it quits yet.
