The multi-million dollar house that has been the center of the drama between 50 Cent and his baby mama, Shaniqua has ‘suspiciously’ gone up in flames [insert side eye here]! SUSPECT! Though, police have not said that Fif is a suspect, the circumstances around the house fire is very much questionable.

This is the same Dix Hills home that 50 took her to court for in which the judge sided with 50.

Arson squad investigators were on the scene of the Friday blaze.

Fif is nuts, by any standards, would he burn down his own house? Maybe, but I can’t co-sign on him putting his son in danger… While on set in Shreveport filming a movie he released the following statement:

"Informed this morning while filming a new motion picture on location in Louisiana, Curtis Jackson expressed deep concern over this fire at his property. He is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning house safely. He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings."

Shaniqua, however calls out 50 as the culprit:

On June 17th, Rihanna will re-release her album Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded with a hand full of new songs including this new track "Disturbia."

Sticking with her winning combo of dance and pop with a touch of European feel, it's definitely radio-friendly and catchy. Very catchy.

Jay Z and Beyonce took their newlywed show across the world to the Cannes Film Festival, spotted partying on Diddy's yacht after the Dolce & Gabbana Party and arriving in London's Heathrow Airport over the holiday weekend. Of course the blogosphere is buzzing about a possible baby Carter, but she has that wine glass in her hand. Could be just a photo op, though. Never know these days, but I need to see a definitive bump to believe it.

I can't cosign on the yellow 60's ensemble and stockings either...just a little too Mrs. Brady for my liking.

Timbaland's muse, talented writer, and all around buzzworthy artist Keri Hilson makes a splash on the summer music scene with her official debut single "Energy" [produced by The Runaways] off her album In a Perfect World which is set to drop Sept. 23rd.

The single, about moving on from a relationship that's gone on too long, is definitely one I can feel. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It has a great melody and potential to he hot on the R&B and Pop charts. I likes.

Usher stopped by TRL today and can I just say what everyone is thinking... Usher, stop the damn whining! As Usher's album, Here I Stand, drops today, all he can talk about is the fact that he fired his mama, his mama didn't come to his wedding, he married a man, blah blah blah...

Tell me why I should buy your damn album, Ursh!?

As he hits the promotional road, he speaks to EW about his mom's wedding boycott:

''My mother made a decision not to come to my wedding because she didn't really agree with my decision,'' he explains, declining to specify whether she disagreed with his choice of wife or his decision to fire her. ''I don't know why,'' he offers simply. ''She's never told me and I've never asked her. It hurt me very much not to see her there 'cause I would've liked for her to be there, not to mention that I paid so much money for her to be accommodated and her behind didn't show up. [Laughs] But just as she's made stands, so have I.''

In other Usher tantums, word on the curb is that he pulled some bitchassness on the set of "Dancing with the Stars" last week, showing up late and fumbling twice causing delaying in recording.

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend, I surely did! Check out some of the latest ish that's gone down while we partook in the BBQ, potato salad, and maybe some crawfish...

Last week a video of 106 & Park's Rocsi hit the blogosphere where she called 50 Cent's album "garbage." It was during the heat of the album wars with Kanye West, and as true as the statement may have been, 50 was none too pleased her her assessment.

50 Cent fired back on 93.3 WKYS...calling her a HOE and blasts her for being ran through. Damn, is it that serious Fif? Listen to the audio:

First let me preface this by saying don't take this as gospel, but the following quote is said to have come from UK's Look Magazine [never heard of it] from Beyonce giving a psuedo confirmation of her marriage to Jay Z:

"I don't deny it (the wedding). I just don't talk about it. We've never talked about us and it's kind of protected our relationship. I think it's kept us out of tabloid drama.

"A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don't talk about them, so neither do I." [SOURCE]

Nothing has come directly from Look, which is like a British celebrity rag...I just can't see her giving them the first official quote. Just saying.

We already know they are married though, so whatev...

Star Jones hosted the Bad Girls Club Rumble Reunion and made a new BFF in Taneisha, who gave her a lesson in "Pop Off!" They are clearly visiting the same wig crypt.

If you missed the reunion it was full of the drama, especially between Taneisha and Lyric! Quite explosive. You can catch the drama here.

This shit... This shit right here... This is my theme song! Like my Rocky theme in the mornings to get my mind right.
