In case you haven’t heard, hip hop mogul 50 Cent has pledged to retire if his newest record “Curtis” which debuted on September 11, sells fewer copies than Kanye’s newest album titled “Graduation” which was released on the same day. The projected sales numbers are skewed in Kanye’s favor, but “Fiddy” may have the upper hand on hot album art work. R&B star Ciara, famous for her recent hits like “Goodies” and “1, 2 Step” poses nude in the album insert photograph. The naked Ciara is pictured in 50 Cent’s arms with her legs wrapped around his waste, giving a pretty clear side view of her “goodies”. We’ve provided a sneak peak with this article.

The official sales projections for the two rappers differ by about 200,000 units with Kanye’s album expected to move 700,000 copies in the first week and 50 Cent’s album only projected to reach about 500,000. Both of these numbers will be less than their previous discs. Even though 50 Cent has pledged to retire, he seems to be making sure that he creates plenty of loopholes in case he needs to wriggle out of it. For example, he has stated that if Kanye’s numbers are significantly higher than his own, it will probably be due to manipulation of the stats by Kanye’s record label. 50 Cent also hasn’t shut the door on his plans to collaborate with other artists for future records; he simply won’t be releasing anymore solo records (or so he says).

Though hip hop is often full of rivalries and competition, something about this one just seems a little too fabricated. The more we hear about this record sales battle, the more it seems to be a brilliant public relations plan to boost the sales of both albums. Think about it. When is the last time you’ve read so many articles and seen so many headlines over something as routine as an album release? And Britney Spears doesn’t count. Anyway, it seems to me that some underpaid PR guy needs a raise, because he has pulled off an amazing campaign which has already kept Kanye and Fiddy in the headlines for weeks (even in mainstream news outlets) thanks to this competition.

Either way, whether Kanye or 50 Cent eventually wins this sales battle, you can’t tell me that either of them has failed. Somehow 500,000 albums sold in one week just doesn’t seem like a failure… especially if a naked Ciara accompanies it.

One of the former contestants on Bravo’s second season of the hit reality show “Top Chef” fell victim to a hate crime which was prompted by her sexual orientation. Josie Smith-Malave, originally from Miami, is openly gay. She was the former sous chef for Marlow and Sons Restaurant and has also played football for the New York Sharks of the Independent Woman’s Football League.

She was with a small group of two other women in a fairly affluent area of Long Island, New York, when they were asked to leave from Partner’s Bar in Sea Cliff over the Labor Day weekend after two of the women began to dance. The response of the other patrons in the bar is what prompted employees to escort the women out one of the side doors of the establishment. The women left willingly. The group included Smith-Malave, her straight sister, and another companion. As they were leaving, a group of approximately ten to twelve people described as “young adults” followed them out and began to make anti-gay remarks, spitting at the women, throwing debris at them, and finally beating them. At this time there is no additional information about the identities of the attackers. All three women were bruised and slightly injured in the attack, a camera was stolen, and one of the women received minor head injuries from the blows sustained from the attackers punches.

The police force of Nassau County is investigating the incident, but has not released additional details of the attack to the media at this time. It is known that no arrests were made at the scene of the crime, even though some of the attackers are rumored to have remained inside the bar after police were summoned. This lack of action has already started to draw criticism. Smith-Malave’s attorney Yetta Kurland has already stated that she will have the incident investigated specifically as a hate crime. Hopefully, these attackers will be brought to justice as soon as a more thorough investigation can take place.

Former porn star Jenna Jameson gave the fashionistas something to look at as she flashed her naked ass from her spot on the runway to crowds at the Heatherette runway show at New York’s Fashion Week. Dressed in a red, white, and blue patterned dress, Jenna looked extremely thin. It also seems like she’s had a few more plastic surgery procedures, particularly in her facial area (cheek implants, perhaps?). Also interesting to note was the large back-piece tattoo which now covers Jenna’s upper back, neck, and shoulders.

Anyone who knows a lot about the fashion scene in New York will know that Heatherette was the perfect match for Jenna Jameson to make her runway debut. Their creations are known for being perfect for celebs who crave attention with their showy, loud, and even exhibitionistic designs. Famous transvestite Amanda Lepore was the other celebrity model for the collection. You can’t deny that with two such famous features models, it would be difficult to ignore the Heatherette runway show, even if the clothes took a back seat to the personalities modeling them.

You probably notice that Jenna barely looks like the former Jenna Jameson porn star that so many of you most likely remember. She continues to state that her great amount of weight loss stemmed from the stress she felt when she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2004. Jenna also stated that her difficult divorce was another reason for her inability to gain back any of the weight she has lost and maintains that a chronically stressful life has allowed her to remain so tiny. She also claims that she is not suffering from anorexia or any other type of eating disorder. However, after looking at these photos it’s hard to believe that, especially when you know that Jenna is not naturally as thin as she appears in these pictures. Hopefully Jenna will keep herself healthy despite the problems she claims to suffer from.

Looks like someone needs to work on controlling his temper… Pamela Anderson’s exes got into a fight during the Alicia Keys performance at this year’s MTV VMAs. According to reports, during the middle of Alicia Keys’ show, Kid Rock walked up to Tommy Lee’s table, appeared to greet him with a tap on the shoulder and then punched him in the face when he got his attention. Tommy Lee returned the favor with another punch. Some reports claim that the altercation was prompted by Tommy Lee saying something derogatory as Kid Rock walked by.

When Pamela Anderson was asked about the incident, which occurred after she had already left the awards ceremony for the evening, she told interviewers that Tommy Lee pulled her onto his lap and spanked her. She thought that his flirtatious behavior might have lead to the Kid Rock’s angry outburst, which occurred only minutes later. Pamel also left her interviews with a few more words of wisdom, stating, “I’m so confused. I’m staying out of it. What are you going to do? Boys!” Well, that’s one way to look at it.

According to Tommy Lee, after the fight was broken up, security officers held him back and said, “If you move, we’ll break your arms.” Kid Rock was also held back but seemed to be a little more subdued after receiving a powerful punch to the face. It appeared that Tommy Lee was still ready for more as he appeared to struggle against the officers for a few quick moments. Both men were escorted out of the performance hall by the security task force.

Kid Rock was given a citation by Las Vegas police for misdemeanor battery. Tommy Lee has apologized for the distraction from Alicia Keys’ performance via a short entry on his Myspace blog. How polite. He also created a new nick name for Kid Rock: “kid pebble”.

After the disastrous opening performance of the VMA’s, Britney was apparently not impressed with the way she looked on stage. She was able to view the video footage of her performance from a specific point in the performance auditorium. According to numerous sources (and also published in US Weekly Magazine), Britney was overheard screaming “Oh my God, I looked like a fat pig!” backstage after her performance. Perhaps in an effort to ease the pain of embarrassment, Britney decided to go to the Bellagio in Las Vegas after the performance to party.

Rumors about why Britney failed so miserably during her much-hyped comeback performance have spread like wildfire. First we heard that Britney had heard Sarah Silverman’s content and was upset about the jokes about her children. It’s also rumored that Britney didn’t attend some of the important dance rehearsals, choosing to drink frozen margaritas in her room instead. Britney also had a blow out argument with famous celebrity hair-stylist Ken Paves minutes before the performance. Paves allegedly walked out after Britney told him she no longer wanted his assistance and she decided to style her hair herself. So there is the explanation for why Britney’s hair looked so terrible in the opening close up of the VMA’s. You would think she would have figured out that based on her previous attempts at styling herself… well, she should probably take the advice of the professionals. It seems like there were more than enough reasons for Britney to fail her audience’s expectations completely, but maybe the biggest factor in her inability to deliver the performance her fans were craving was that the pressure was just too great. The VMA opening performance was touted to be the last chance comeback for Britney, and with all eyes on her after such a long break from the stage, it’s not too surprising that things didn’t go as well as everyone had hoped they would.

Of course, in typical Britney fashion (or maybe to distract all of us from her widely criticized performance), upon exiting her car at the Luxor Hotel, she gave us a fresh crop of new Britney crotch shots. As if we hadn’t had enough… But anyway, here they are for posterity’s sake.

Someone get this girl some underwear! (And maybe a nice long stint in rehab too!)

And you thought Botox was bad! Lately a new sort of procedure has been spreading like wildfire around the celebrity circle because having every single square inch of your body manicured now seems to be a prerequisite to making it in the celebrity circles. And yes, it requires you to bleach there. You could say that anal bleaching is the new bikini wax. It shouldn’t really come as much surprise that anal bleaching has become such a trend since equally trivial cosmetic procedures have started to become more and more commonplace. For instance, in addition to anal bleaching, you could also go in for some vaginal rejuvenation or even botox injected into your buttocks to get a bikini-ready bottom without ever having to hit the gym. Scary, huh?

Anal bleaching is just what it sounds like: the bleaching of the area around the anus in order to get rid of any darker pigmentation which is caused by a lifetime of bowel movements. Though formerly restricted to people whose lines of work caused their anus to be exposed often (think strippers and adult film stars), the practice has finally caught on to the mainstream thanks to our obsession with beauty and cleanliness. It is also a fairly recent development that there are special bleaching creams which have been specially formulated for this very sensitive area. In the past, individuals had to use much harsher chemical ingredients to effectively bleach their anuses. Now, however, you can even have the procedure done in some salons and spas, that is, if you don’t mind having a stranger touching around there.

The practice is most popular within the gay community and Hollywood set but the trend is fast spreading through high society and upper-middle class soccer moms alike. Some of the famous names who have been reputed to be fans of the anal bleaching trend are: Lara Flynn Boyle, Courtney Cox-Arquette, and even Katie Holmes (though she and her camp have denied it).

So if you want to look like a model (or a porn star) down there, here’s your chance. Just pick up an at-home bleaching kit from your pharmacy or call the trendiest spa in your area to see what they can do for you.

Okay, so we really thought this story had died, but apparently we were wrong because there are new shocking allegations that surpass everything we’ve heard up until now. It all stems from the publication buzz for another book about Anna Nicole by journalist Rita Cosby. It’s titled Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death. Rita Cosby was scheduled to speak with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning, but producers removed the interview after receiving legal threats from Howard Stern’s attorney.

Some of the suspicious facts uncovered in Rita Cosby’s book include:

1) What exactly was found in the hospital room where Anna Nicole’s son Daniel died.
2) The new story of Anna Nicole’s body guard and his wife regarding the sequence of events leading up to her death.
3) A detailed account of all of the prescriptions Anna Nicole had been prescribed.
4) The true number of emergency calls placed between occupants of Anna Nicole’s room and the hospital staff.
5) Hotel surveillance footage.
6) Conversations that Rita Cosby had with Larry Birkhead and his former attorney Debra Opri

However, the most shocking of all of the allegations to come to light thanks to this book is that it claims that…

Howard Stern and Larry Birkhead were GAY LOVERS!

According to reports, Cosby’s book details a situation which is said to have been witnessed by a reliable friend of Anna Nicole’s in which Howard and Larry were caught pants-down engaging with each other in oral sex. Apparently, Anna Nicole enjoyed watching video of the two, and the New York Daily News has confirmed that video proof of the sexual affair still exists. The reports also state that Anna Nicole only chose to have a baby with Larry Birkhead because she wanted a blonde-haired and blue-eyed baby.

These specifics are rumored to be the shocking pieces of evidence which caused OK! Magazine to cancel their exclusive deal with Larry Birkhead to cover stories related to Dannilynn.

The book also goes into Anna Nicole’s prescription drug abuse and blames both Howard Stern and Larry Birkhead for providing drugs to her. With accusations such as these, it becomes pretty likely that the book will also attempt to assign part of the blame of the death of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel to Howard Stern and Larry Birkhead.

Hopefully, for the sake of poor little Danilynn this mess will eventually get settled once and for all.
