And J-Lo is also coming under fire from the school she attended as a kid. The principal had a lot to say: "Jennifer hasn't even sent us a CD. (Her mother) Lupe was wonderful, a sweetie, and wonderful with the kids. When Jennifer became famous, I asked Lupe if Jennifer could donate a scholarship in her name, and Lupe just said, 'Uh-uh! That's her money and that's it.' The recession has hit parents hard. Many of them are single mothers. A lot have lost their jobs. I have one mother who worked at St. Vincent's Hospital for 25 years - and she's out of work now. It's hard for families to make the tuition... I keep praying she'll donate the pink diamond engagement ring Ben Affleck gave her."

As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body’s immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous. More specifically, J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs. As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it.

"There are people who don't dislike me...they absolutely hate me! If you google 'A**hole' my face may very well pop up 2 pages into the search…People tweeted that they wish I was dead. They wanted me to die people. I carry that...I wear my scars."
"How deep is the scar…I bled hard. Cancelled tour with the number one pop star in the world...closed the doors of my clothing office. Had to let employees go...for the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions...I felt the recession from an ownership side. Remember in Anchor Man when Ron Burgandy cursed on air and the entire city turned on him? But this wasn't a joke. This was & is my real life."
"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her. She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us."
"The media tried to demonize me. They wanted yall to believe I was a monster in real life so you guys wouldn't listen or buy my music anymore."
"Why was it made into such a race issue?" Taylor loves rap music... I love country music. TAYLOR LOVES RAP MUSIC...I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC."
"When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE. Yes I was that guy. A 32 year old child...I take the responsibility for my actions. I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help."
"I wish I could talk to every hater face to face and change there a opinion of me one conversation at a time…I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion. It starts with this...I'm sorry Taylor."
50 Cent And Jay-Z Face Off
50 Cent has been known to use Twitter to talk trash about his rivals, but last week he came face to face with one of them! He and Jay-Z ran into each other backstage in Detroit. He said he asked Jay, "What's up [man] -- we gonna kill each other or what?" Hova responded, "And [mess] up the money? I ain't with it." And for good reason! Jay just dropped a reported $20 million to buy a 12.5 acre island in the Florida Keys for Beyonce on her 29th birthday over the weekend! Damn, go on and set that bar high for the rest of these dudes!
DMX Calls Out Plies DMX recently let the world know that he isn't a fan of plies as a rapper.

She said things with Diddy went downhill after she announced that she needed major hip surgery. And get this, in the complaint she filed, she also said she had a relapse of drug and alcohol addiction! Wonder why she got fired?!?! Diddy's people released this statement: "This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work...There are many reasons why Ms. Spero (Francesca Spero) is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them."
Snoop Dogg is Looking For Work Speaking of grabbing for money, Snoop Dogg is reaching for a new job! Well, one job in particular...Simon Cowell's job on American Idol. Snoop had previously been mentioned as a replacement, but it all comes down to the money! Snoop-a-loop said, "I like that show. I think it's missing some pizazz and I can give it what it's missing - if they get their bread together, cut me in and cut me out. I got to get paid."

This time, he tweeted about Diddy, saying, “Puffys a fun boy a happy man, a fruit loop a lucky charm a skittle chase the rainbow lol.” Diddy, meanwhile, took the highroad and didn’t respond!
Young Buck Is Going After Fiddy Diddy might not respond anymore to 50’s shots, but Young Buck is taking the bait. His new single, “Hood Documentary,” is a Fiddy diss! He’s also got a new mixtape coming out (which I am sure will have lots of Fiddy disses), called “The Rehab.”

They were both spotted in Queens, NY over the weekend at a community event, giving out school supplies and shooting some hoops.

Drake & Nick Didn’t Get Married After All Speaking of relationships and publicity stunts, Drake & Nicki Minaj announced that they got married…then announced that it was all a big joke!
