50 Cent Feuds With Cast of Empire, Looks Like a Fool

50 Cent has feuded with Puff Daddy, Ja Rule, Rick Ross and even Floyd Mayweather, but he may have just picked a fight with his fiercest opponent yet – Cookie Lyon.


Yes, it seems 50 is not a fan of the hit Fox series Empire and he made his feelings clear on Instagram in a bizarre, homophobic rant:



“There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it?” the post said. “We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!”



Beneath the re-gram (which has since been deleted) 50 wrote, “EMPIRES TV RATINGS TOOK A HUGE HIT. Ok I’ll stop now. COOKIE CALL ME BABY. I’ll tell every body to watch the show for you. LOL”


50 claims he didn’t read the original message in its entirety before he re-posted, and he claims he deleted it once someone called his attention to the homophobic content. 


He makes no apology for his Empire, however.


So why is 50 hatin’ on the show so hard?


Well, part of the reason is that his similar-themed Starz series Power is no match for Empire in the ratings game.


And it probably doesn’t help that the show took a shot at him in its second season premiere, when Cookie referred to 50 as “thirsty ass” for taking shots at the Lyon clan on Instagram.


Naturally, 50 had to prove the writers wrong, by…showing some serious thirst on Instagram.


We can’t help but think that 50 wouldn’t be bankrupt if he spent more time looking after his finances and less time looking for beef.


Watch Empire online at TV Fanatic to remind yourself why the show is stomping Power in the ratings.


Nick Gordon: Soon to Be Arrested For the Murder of Bobbi Kristina Brown?

It’s been over two months since Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away, and the events that led up to her bizarre bathtub drowning remain a mystery to the public.


A medical examiner’s investigation reportedly determined the cause of Bobbi Kristina’s death last week, but the files were immediately sealed, as they might play an important role in a possible murder investigation.



While police have revealed very little about the case, it’s widely believed that their number one suspect is Bobbi’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon.



Gordon is already facing a wrongful death lawsuit, and there are rumors that his problems are about to get far worse.


A source who claims to be close to the investigation tells The Daily Mail that Gordon’s arrest is “imminent,” and that authorities are in the final stages of compiling enough evidence to make a solid case against the 25-year-old.


The insider adds that a warrant may be issued as early as this week, at which time Gordon would have a brief window opportunity in which to turn himself in.


“They wouldn’t just let him walk in and walk out,” says the source. “He would have to be processed through court and bailed or spend a night in the cells if it happened too late in the day for the court to sit.”


The suit filed by the Brown and Gordon families alleges that Gordon drugged Bobbi Kristina and then left her face-down in a bathtub full of water.


When reached for comment, the Fulton County District Attorney stated only that “the case is open and under investigation.”


Demi Lovato NUDE in Vanity Fair: (Hot) Body Positive!

The celebrity poster child for positive body image, Demi Lovato, takes “no make-up” photo shoots to a new level with her new appearance in Vanity Fair.


We’re talking about no CLOTHES.



The singer-actress, according to legend, was doing a pictorial with the iconic magazine when she decided to strip down for a truly all natural shoot.



Lovato, who has been very open in the past about her battles with eating disorders, cutting, mental health and body issues, did so for two reasons:


  1. She’s hot, so why not?!

  2. More importantly, she makes the argument that “loving the skin you’re in” is the way to go, and the way you are is way better than photoshop.

Patrick Ecclesine, who snapped the gorgeous 23-year-old, deserves his share of the credit (and our jealousy) as well. Because she is flawless.


Some critics might argue that Demi’s body positivity campaign is more self promoting than it is sexy or inspirational, but we beg to differ there.


Yes, posing buck a$ $ naked is going to raise some eyebrows, but it’s tastefully done, and the message she’s sending is more positive than not.
