Beyonce gets Fierce for Today Show

Beyonce made the pre-Thanksgiving Today Show a memorable as she showed up in a full body black spandex outfit to perform songs from her new double CD I Am…Sasha Fierce.

You know they say spandex can help prevent muscle pulls.

Lindsay Lohan Caught Drinking at a Club Again

Lindsay Lohan was Lindsay Lohan was was caught by a surveillance camera on October 17 at a Washington, D.C., club pouring herself what appears to be grey goose Vodka mixed with Redbull, and drinking it. Lohan was in rehab for drugs and alcohol addiction in 2007 three times. Lohan was at a club where Samantha Ronson was doing her DJ thing. Alcoholics shouldn’t be hanging out in clubs filled with alcohol, unless they intend to give in to temptation.

It’s no wonder Lohan hasn’t been able to find work, got fired from her latest job, and has been reportedly been fighting with Samantha. Alcohol brings out the worst in people.

Lindsay can’t blame the media for what she’s doing to her life. What’s just as bad as Lindsay drinking again, is the fact that Samantha is a co-dependent who is enabling Lindsay, rather than helping her. That’s not love, that a sickness.

Taco Bell: 50 Cent Can Eat It

Taco Bell is going for the whole enchilada in defending itself from a suit filed by 50 Cent, claiming the rapper's tough-talking $4 million lawsuit (alleging trademark infringement) from earlier this summer was nothing but a publicity stunt.

The fast food chain definitely answered the legal Bell, so to speak, in its attempt to straight up dome Fiddy when it comes to his credibility.

The Bell attacked 50 as a gentleman whose work "falls in the sub-genre of hip hop music known as 'gangsta rap,' a style associated with urban street gangs and characterized by violent, tough-talking braggadocio." Or something.

The Taco peeps also claim Fiddy only filed the lawsuit to "burnish his gangsta persona." Not sure how suing Taco Bell would do that, but whatever you say.

50 Cent sued over Taco Bell's promotional campaign where they offered to give $10,000 to charity if the rapper would change his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent.

His lawyer tells us "Taco Bell needs to be stopped" and that "Mr. Cent intends to vigorously pursue this case." Seriously, he referred to him as Mr. Cent.

You know what they say: Mo' money mo' problems. Combined this with his many lawsuits against Shaniqua Tompkins and Fiddy has his legal hands full.
