It’s safe to say that VH1 is giving everybody and their mama a reality show nowadays. Well, they’ve got another hit on their hands with their new show “Love & Hip-Hop” which features “the women of Hip-hop”, Swizz Beats’ ex-wife Mashonda, singer and G-Unit’s former first lady Olivia, Fabolous’ babymama Emily Bustamante, Jim Jone’s wifey Christine Lampkin, Joe Budden’s ex-jumpoff model/aspiring rapper Somaya Reece. The show hits television screens Monday, March 14th at 10:30 PM EST. From the looks of it, this show is filled with D-R-A-M-A! Check out the trailer below…

Will you be tuning in?

Dissing Jay-Z didn’t work, nor did linking up with 50 Cent ’cause now the tax man is after Beanie Sigel. The Philly rapper is charged with failing to file his taxes and reporting his gross income for three years! According to the Philadelphia’s  District Court, Beanie didn’t pay taxes on $1.5 million from 2003-2005. DAMN!

If convicted, the former Roc Boy could spend three years in the pen. And according to his lawyer, Fortunato Perri Jr. he’s likely to plead guilty.

Whatever happened to hiring an accountant? Looks like Beanie needs to hit the studio quick! Wonder if homie 50 will lend him a couple thousands. Ha!

Looks like 50 Cent has dropped Ciara for a white chick! Guess 50 didn’t really like the way Ciara “rides the beat”. Ha! Anywhoo, according to TMZ, the Queens rapper and comedian Chelsea Handler were spotted at a bar in New Orleans Sunday night and “were getting very hot and heavy with each other”. Word is 50 has been feeling Chelsea for quite some time now and has been pursuing her for months. WOW! Apparently, 50 once left the late night TV host a voicemail message after appearing on her show and even sent her flowers.

Here’s a pic of the newly rumored couple getting cozy at some club…is that a business meeting or just a lil’ too close for comfort. Ciara, come get ya gurl, Chelsea!

“I don’t have…issues with people until they say things that make me feel like they want a problem,” said the Queens rapper. “Point to one situation that I’ve been in, one altercation where I was competing with another artist that I’ve started…Ain’t that hip-hop? There’s always been battling. It’s always been a part of the culture. In the future, because I’ve been kind of captured as the actual bad guy on some level because they watch me compete and win and it feels like it was effortless, I will [make] a point to not even respond. I’l just look and watch people when they say things.”

Believe it or not, prison is becoming Hip-hop’s number one hot spot. Last year, T.I. went in and most recently the p*ssy monster Lil Wayne is currently doing a bid as well. Now I don’t want to predict another rapper getting locked up, but you can probably expect Ja Rule to call a 6×8 cell his home if he doesn’t get his case dropped. Back in 2007, the Queen’s rapper was pulled over by the Hip-hop police while cruising the streets of NYC on suspicion of speeding, having a suspended registration and driving without insurance. While, Ja Rule probably thought he was going to walk away with just a ticket, the feds got lucky and found a gun hidden in his whip. Earlier today, the rapper’s lawyer Stacey Richman returned to court to request another hearing to discuss the problems surrounding the prosecution’s DNA evidence, but her motion was denied and a trial was set for August 18^th instead. Although, Ja Rule has pleaded not guilty to the gun charge, if convicted he faces up to four years in the pen.

Ja Rule has been fighting this gun charge for three years and with the way the Hip-hop police have been on their grind…I see jail time in his future. #Imjustsayin

Last Friday, Ciara hit up DJ Envy’s show on Power 105.1 where she discussed her skills in the kitchen, BET playing her, the reason her last album “Fantasy Ride” tanked and rumors about 50 Cent copping her a whip.

“That’s a crazy rumor. That’s a cool rumor…in reference to somebody giving you a Rolls Royce”, she told DJ Envy.

Fast forward to 6:30 where Ciara continues to front like she’s not messing with 50 Cent.

Judging by Ciara’s facial expression, change in tone and body language once Envy hit her with the 50 Cent questions…I’m convinced 50′s gorilla a$$ smashed.

For Mario Van Peebles’ “Thing Fall Apart,” the rapper dropped an astonishing 50 pounds to play a football player who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Normally tipping the scales at 214 pounds, 50 Cent released a photo of himself this week at a frail 160.
The “Strong Enough” singer says he lost the weight by going on a liquid diet and spending three hours a day on the treadmill for nine weeks.

“I was starving,” 50 Cent revealed on his official Web site, thisis50.com. But on the eve of his “The Invitation” tour, the thespian has been gorging.
