The Game is not playing! For years the Compton rapper has been taking shots at Jay-Z, but he upped the ante recently (guess he really, really needs some publicity?) taking the drama overseas. In a concert in Madrid The Game repeatedly chanted “Fu–k Jay-Z….old ass ni–a” (and even got the crowd to join in!) before spitting a diss rap over Hov’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” beat. He let the low blows roll and even took shots at Beyonce rapping:
“This isn’t about Beef/This isn’t about Destiny/I’m in Madrid banging the c-p-t/You got a bad b–ch word?/Ain’t no pu–y like hers?/Just ask the Mavericks, Rockets, and the Spurs/ I mean… I mean my b–ch don’t slang p–sy like that.”
Wilin’! Now Jay has previously said that he won’t be responding to The Game’s taunts, but I wonder what he’ll have to say now that Bey’s name has been dragged into the picture?
In other crazy performance news: Lil’ Kim is scheduled to take the stage with Cyndi Lauper at a concert to honor South African President Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday. All I want to know is who approved that!? While I’ve been know to get down to a Queen Bee song or two, somehow I can’t imagine the elderly Mandela rocking to “Big Momma Thang” overseas. Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Queen Latifah, Wyclef, Aretha Franklin, will.i.am and err T-Pain (doesn’t he seem a little out of place on this bill too? He better not wear that “Big A– Chain” he’s been rocking as of late!). Should be an interesting production to say the least.
Meanwhile, Lil Wayne’s being sued yet again for blowing off a concert. TMZ reports that Red City Entertainment is coming after Weezy for $432,000 for failing to appear at his own concert in the Bahamas (police went to check on the rapper when he didn’t show and found him unconscious). Wayne just canceled a European tour citing “health problems” earlier this month and has been sued for flaking on concerts in the past. I don’t know what’s wrong with this man, but I know one thing: with all these baby mamas and new tots on the way, he needs to stop playing and make that money. Those child support bills are about to start piling up real soon!

The Queen may have to go to court.
Oscar-nominated actress Queen Latifah apparently hasn’t been shelling out cash to those in her employ.
The NY Daily News is reporting that cosmetologist Roxanna Floyd and stylist Susan Moses say they’ve been stiffed out of $1 million for their work on Queen Latifah’s CoverGirl ad campaign, as well as the star’s “Curvations” line of intimate apparel.
The plaintiffs each filed two separate suits — they’re alledging a breach of contracts — in Federal court against Latifah.
Now how many times have we seen this playout? I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t get it. You have the money, why aren’t you paying the cash? Can’t wait to see how this one plays out!

Queen Latifah has long said that when it comes to her personal life, people can speculate all they want – either way she’s not telling us anything.
Maybe now she’s at least up for dropping hints. Speaking with Shaun Robinson for the book Exactly As I Am – a book themed on offering girls advice on how to be themselves – Queen Latifah shares her thoughts on men:
“I [used to] ingratiate myself to him and then sleep with him. Afterward, I felt disgusting- really gross and nasty … and I hated myself. That feeling was so horrible, I decided I would never do that again.”
Queen Latifah doesn’t want to be around men. I’m so surprised. Next thing you’ll tell me is that sky is blue and that Easter isn’t about a bunny.
This quote is likely being taken out of context, but many, like the New York Daily News, are pointing to this as evidence that Queen Latifah is finally embracing her inner Cleo publicly.
Not my call but I wish she would, as it could explain why after spending so much time with her “trainer,” Jeanette Jenkins, she still needed Jenny Craig to lose weight.
Whatever the case, we still love you, Queen.

As Queen Latifah gears up to host tonight’s People’s Choice Awards, the singer-actress is also getting her diet back in gear after some serious holiday play, she tells People magazine.
“I’m glad I re-signed [with Jenny Craig] because I had a little fun over the holidays, as most people do,” says Latifah, 38, who announced this month that she would continue as the spokesperson for the weight-loss program.
“I went to Trinidad and I indulged in everything,” she says, admitting to falling off the wagon temporarily while on vacation. “It wasn’t that I wasn’t eating healthy stuff. It was just a lot of it. There’s always a beach barbeque.”
But she is putting the chicken stews and the rum punch away to get back to “a size healthy.” Working out regularly and swimming, she’s confident: “I will knock this weight back down. I know it,” she says

Good news from the Queen. Her majesty has met her personal fitness goals, according to PEOPLE. Latifah says she’s lost 5-10 percent of her body weight in just a couple of months, thanks to Jenny Craig and longtime friend/trainer Jeannette Jenkins.
“My jeans are looser, I feel more energetic,” she said of shedding the weight. “People dig it. They come up to me and say ‘I’m glad you’re talking about the health side of it.’ People get that message, which is important too.” Even though she’s slimmer, Latifah said her fans know she’s still one of them. “They see that I’m doing this for the health reasons but also say, ‘She’s still representing for the big girls. She hasn’t abandoned us!’ ” Latifah said. “This is me doing something for me, but if I am going to be a role model I hope people can catch on.”
