Cent Says He & Jimmy Iovine To Have Meeting To Discuss The Direction Of New Album

50 Cent just revealed to MTV that he had a meeting with Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine.

"I tweeted something about the actual single. I'm out here [In L.A.] - I got a meeting," 50 said while standing next to Nicole Scherzinger on the set of their new video 'Right There.' "I gotta sit with Jimmy [Iovine], I gotta sit with the guys that push the button. I've done it by myself on my other albums cause I got my own radio staff, and I work the record, then get it to 500 spins then let them [Interscope] kick in. But I think it's better to go with the entire building and have everybody on deck, so they understand my plans for this project."

50's new albums is one of the most anticipated of the year, hip hop fans are very much looking forward to it.

L.A. Gang Member's Crime Scene Tattoo Leads To Murder Conviction In Cold Case

Webster's Dictionary describes a stupid person as one who is "given to unintelligent decisions or acts or acting in an unintelligent or careless manner." If they could include a picture next to the description it's a good bet Anthony Garcia would be in that pic.

Garcia, a member of the L.A. street gang Rivera-13, killed a man in a liquor store robbery, then had every detail of the crime tatted on his chest.

Garcia's tattoo shows a man with "the body of a peanut being hit by bullets and falling back toward the liquor store. In gang slang, the word 'peanut' is used to derisively describe a rival gang member" according to the L.A. Times.

For more than four years detectives tried to solve the liquor store murder with no luck. They finally caught a break when one of the detectives noticed Garcia's tattoos while going through snapshots of gang members.

Homicide Lt. Dave Dolson says he has seen all kinds of tats, but nothing like Garcia's, "I haven't seen it before, and I haven't heard of anything like it either," Dolson said.

Others theorize that maybe Garcia wanted to get caught:

"Think about it. He tattooed his confession on his chest. You have a degree of fate with this," Capt. Mike Parker said.

Once in custody Garcia fully confessed, turning a cold case into a first-degree murder conviction.

McDonald's Hiring Day Ends With Car Mowing People Down Following Fight

Yesterday (April 19) was National Hiring Day for McDonald's. The goal was to hire 50,000 people in a day.

Sounds like a great thing right? It would have been if not for a couple of hood heathens fighting in Cleveland, Ohio. The end result was one of the participants of the fight, got in her car and backed over several people.

"I was filling out my application when I saw two girls fighting," Joseph Shores told Fox 8. "I don't know their names, but they were fighting over drama, hood stuff."

Police say the fight started between two girls over a boy, but then spilled over into the crowd of people waiting to hand in job applications.

"One girl was on top of the driver, beating her. Then the driver went forward, somehow it kicked into reverse, and the car went backwards, hitting three people. It was crazy!" said Arnecia Patterson.

The four people that were hit by the car were taken to the hospital. None with life threatening injuries. Police caught the passenger in the car and charged her with felonious assault. They are still searching for the driver.

Diddy Sued By Photographer Claiming He Was Beaten Up By Bodyguards

Diddy may have some explaining to do if there turns out to be any merit to a lawsuit recently filed against him according to The Atlanta Constitution Journal.

Jabari Tilgham claims he was beaten up while working as a photographer at a BET Hip Hop Awards afterparty hosted by Combs at Club Mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, according to a lawsuit filed in DeKalb County State Court on Friday (April 15).

Tilgham claims he was one of 12 photographers taking pictures of celebrities when he was singled out and attacked by Diddy's bodyguards.

Tilgham's attorney Jeffrey Gewirtz says the October 10, 2010 attack was completely unprovoked. One of the security guards working for the club that night backs up Tilgham's story in a signed affidavit.

The suit names Diddy, Club Mansion management and four bodyguards as defendants.

Dr Dre Wins Lawsuit Against Death Row, Will Get 100% Of All Digital Sales Of 'The Chronic' Album

Dr Dre just won a huge lawsuit against the current owners of Death Row Records, WIDEawake Entertainment.

Yesterday (April 19), U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder ruled that Death Row doesn't have the rights to sell the classic album 'The Chronic' online.

Dr Dre will now receive 100% of all online sales, while Death Row can only sell the album in CD, cassette, 8-track and vinyl formats as stipulated by Dre's original contract with Suge Knight and the old Death Row.

"For years, Death Row Records forgot about Dre when they continued to distribute his music digitally and combined his hits with weaker Death Row tracks in an attempt to elevate the stature of their other artists," Dre's attorney Howard King told the Associated Press. "We are gratified that the federal court has unambiguously declared that Death Row has no right to engage in such tactics, and must hold all proceeds from these illicit distributions in trust for our client."

Compton Drive Thru Funeral Home Becomes Popular

Peggy Scott Adams married into a family business that is quite different from most. Her funeral home in Compton, California offers a person's family, friends and even sometimes complete strangers a chance to view their remains, without even having to get out of their car.

The Adams Mortuary was reportedly inspired by a couple of funeral homes in the south that offer the same drive thru service.

"It's a unique feature that sets us aside from other funeral parlors," Scott Adams told the L.A. Times. "You can come by after work, you don't need to deal with parking, you can sign the book outside and the family knows that you paid your respects - It's a convenience thing."

The funeral home is popular among gang members because of it's easy accessibility and bullet proof glass casing.

"It's a ministry for me to be able to help people at one of the most traumatic times of their life," Scott Adams says.

Kanye West & Wiz Khalifa Almost Come To Blows Over Amber Rose

Karen Civil reports:

This passed sunday at the Coachella Music Festival, Kanye West brought down the stage with a two hour performance dedicated to his mother Donda West. In what people are calling his best performance since his mother died, Kanye is alleged to have taken a shot at Amber Rose who was standing 75 feet away from him. During the song “Stronger” instead of saying “I’ll do anything for a blonde d*** and she’ll do anything if the times right” Kanye said “I did anything for that blonde d*** and she did anything when the times right.”

Mediatakeout reports that Wiz Khalifah “confronted” Kanye when he left the stage. According to one of their insiders “Wiz didn’t want to fight, he just wanted all this catty bullsh*t to end.” Kanye sought otherwise though; “Kanye said something to Wiz and next thing you know security and people’s entourages were everywhere pushing and shoving, it could have got real ugly.”

Actor Nicolas Cage arrested in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS - Actor Nicolas Cage was arrested after he got drunk in the city's French Quarter and argued in the street with his wife over whether a house they were in front of was theirs, police said Saturday.

The couple was in front of a home that Cage insisted they were renting, police said. When she said it wasn't theirs, Cage grabbed her arm, according to a police news release.

Cage started hitting vehicles and tried to get into a taxi, police said. An officer saw that Cage was drunk and told him to get out of the cab. Cage then started yelling at the officer.

The actor has been booked on charges of domestic abuse battery, disturbing the peace and public drunkenness. He was released on $11,000 bond Saturday.

Representatives for Cage could not immediately be reached Saturday.

Cage has been a frequent visitor to New Orleans, where he has owned property and shot movies. He has also had financial troubles, despite being one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood.

He had been behind on taxes and has said he's had to sell numerous assets because of his finances. He sued his former business manager in October 2009 for $20 million, claiming the man's advice led him to financial ruin.

Tina Fey shows off her baby bump

Lauryn Hill Triumphs, Cee Lo's Set Cut Short At Coachella.

Helping to kick off the first day of the Coachella Festival, Lauryn Hill and Cee Lo both performed, but only one of them left happy Saturday (April 15) in Indio, California.

Hill's nearly 40 minute set included everything from "Lost Ones" to "Ex Factor." Hill then asked the crowd "how many Fugee fans do we have in the house tonight?" before tearing into "Fu Gee La" and "Ready Or Not."

The crowd of mostly teen kids didn't seem to recognize a lot of her songs and Hill was raspy voiced throughout, but she made up for that with enthusiasm and a solid band.

Meanwhile, Cee Lo got a raw deal as his set for cut short after only 3 songs.

After apparently starting his set late, the festival's organizer's pulled the plug on the Goodie Mob member as he sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."
