The Game Outs 50 Cent!
We knew when we heard rapper The Game mouthing off about gay rappers locked in the closet — that it was only a matter of time before he outed one (or more) of them.
The Game disclosed what most of the industry already guessed: that rapper 50 Cent enjoys a good, strong back stroke every now and then. The Game inadvertently outed Fiddy while responding to a tweet from @TMZ on his Twitter page today.
TMZ.com, which is run by entertainment attorney Harvey Levin — an out and proud gay man, tweeted: “@TheGame believes closeted gay men spread AIDS by “fooling” women to have sex with them”.
The Game quickly responded: “They do, ask @Oprah,” — before tweeting this:

Alicia Keys isn’t a big enough star to cover Glamour Magazine alone
No matter how highly Alicia Keys thinks of herself, she isn’t a big enough star to grace the cover of GLAMOUR magazine by herself. The gangsta B-list singer, who used to wear a gold AK47 rifle on a chain around her neck, shares the October 2011 cover with A-list actresses Demi Moore (Ashton’s wife), and Jennifer Aniston.
On why her time in Egypt (the country) inspired her to create a baby:
“It was a time of transition. There were certain people [I was working with] who weren’t right. I had friends who weren’t right anymore. I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.” Source

Bishop Eddie Long Responds
Bishop Eddie Long, the embattled pastor of New Birth Missionary Church, wasted no time responding to two of his accusers yesterday. Jamal Parris, 24, and Spencer Legrande, 23, are speaking out about their experiences with Long, despite signing a confidentiality agreement.
Apparently, they aren’t happy with the terms of the structured settlement they agreed upon earlier this year. They thought their $2 million settlements spread out over 20 years was a generous amount — until they started spending the cash and discovered that $100,000 doesn’t go a long way when you’re greedy and have extravagant tastes.
In a message to his congregation posted on the church’s website, Long wrote:
New Birth Members,
We have a long history of dutifully serving those in need in the local and global communities and we will continue to do so. We are committed to the calling of a strong, viable and relevant ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, we are in the media again and people are wondering what I am going to say. All I have to say is what we stated earlier. All parties involved decided to resolve the civil cases out of court. The decision was made to bring closure to this matter and allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry.
I will continue to honor and abide by my commitment of confidentiality and restraint as it relates to the resolution of the civil litigation and will not be diverted from the important work of the ministry.

Nicki Minaj’s weed carrier is a rapper now
Nicki Minaj’s boyfriend, Safaree Samuels, 32, is a rapper now. If you believe the rumors, she dumped Safaree as her road manager so he might be hurting for cash. Samuels, whose rap handle is SB (short for Scaffbeezy), just dropped his first track entitled “My Watch” featuring Gucci Mane.
The track’s chorus line goes: “Watch on my wrist cost more than a mansion.” You can always tell when an uneducated thug isn’t used to having anything.
I didn’t listen to the track all the way through. But it’s obvious who writes Nicki’s boring lyrics.
-
I’m in the strip club with the big meat salami
And I don’t make it rain/It’s a SB Tsunami
I’m at the top/Never gone fall off
Handcuff a man cause they know a ni**a ball hard

Eddie Long’s accusers renege on their structured settlements
Remember we told you that Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers agreed to a structured settlement worth around $2 million each, to be paid in installments every year over the next 20 years? Well, two of Long’s accusers have now decided the cash annuities are not sufficient for their needs.
In other words, the men have burned through their cash annuity for this year. And rather than wait until 2012 for their next cash payout, they want it all right now.
The lack of funds even forced one of Long’s accusers into a life of crime to support his lifestyle.
In June, Jamal Parris, 24, was arrested by Miami Dade police during a traffic stop. Police searched Parris’ car and found 181 grams of marijuana, plastic baggies and a semiautomatic handgun. He was charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute.
Incredibly, Parris blamed his drug arrest on “childhood sexual abuse” suffered at the hands of Eddie Long!
Now Parris and another accuser, Spencer Legrande, are speaking out about their experiences with Long — despite signing confidentiality agreements when they accepted their settlements.
Against their attorney’s advice, Jamal and Spencer spoke with WSB-TV here in Atlanta, which aired a clip of the interview last night.
Both men say they never sued for money, even though the money (or the lack of it) seems to be the motivating factor for the interview.
