50 Cent's 2.5 million dollar Long Island mansion that just burned down was occupied by Shaniqua Tompkins, his exgirlfriend and the mother of his ten year old son. Mother, son and four other people barely got out alive. Shaniqua and Fitty were last seen together arguing violently in the street. He was trying to get her to move. Firemen suspect foul play and are investigating. 50 Cent has an alibi - he was filming in Louisiana. SOMEBODY will probably be going to jail. Who do YOU think is responsible for the conflagration?

Robin Thicke drew a celebrity heavy crowd at the House of Blues last night. Halle Berry came with her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her mother. Britney Spears was expected to show up but she didn't for a change. Wilmer Valderrama was digging the music. Bobby Brown was reportedly by himself and "out of his mind" (too many drinks?) and "dancing around and acting stupid." The audience really got their money's worth - 50 Cent surprised everyone when he jumped onstage and performed with Thicke.
Neighbors are astounded by the fact that Kanye West has 24 hour around-the-clock bodyguards watching his house in the Hollywood Hills. He's not exactly the gangsta type that needs protection. "It must cost a fortune - what's he afraid of?" said a curious neighbor. That got us wondering if his feud with 50 Cent has escalated. Hardcore 50 Cent has barely concealed his contempt for Kanye's "softer" music. He dissed Kanye when he said "I think middle America would rather have their kids be GAY than have them be aggressive." (Did he say that because Kanye shops at Barneys?) Despite the big bucks he spends on security, Kanye still eats at economical Baja Fresh on Sunset nearly every day!
