New record alludes to Ross’ alleged prison-guard past, also calls out Lil Wayne.

50 Cent, what took you so long? Almost five days have gone since Rick Ross came out with “Mafia Music,” which talks about Fif and the mother of his child.

“I love to pay ya bills, can’t wait to pay ya rent/ Curtis Jackson baby mama, I ain’t looking for a cent/ Burn the house down,” the husky Miami MC rapped on the record, referring to the last year’s Ross’ alleged prison-guard past and the rumors of a marriage between him and Foxy Brown. 50 later calls Brown a “bimbo.”

“Must’ve thought he knocked me out like Kimbo,” the G-Unit General adds. “Officer Ricky radio for backup/ See your a– anyway, you know I’m gonna act up/ You wanna play with me when I don’t wanna play?/ Have my n—as whip the skin off your a– in broad day/ Screaming, ‘Boss,’ n—a , you ain’t a boss/ Pu— n—a, you’re lost/ Listen, Officer Ross.”

As the record comes to a close, in classic 50 fashion, the Queens-bred icon talks over the beat, saying that if Wayne wants to battle Eminem, he has to come through him first.

“This n—a is an appetizer,” 50 says of his new beef with Rick Ross. “Where you at, Wayne? You’re the full course meal, Wayne. You awfully quiet.”

50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct was slated to come out in early February. It has since been pushed back, and no new release date has been announced. Besides “Mafia Music,” Rick Ross also released his single “I’m the Magnificent,” which features John Legend. Ross’ new album Deeper Than Rap should be out sometime this spring.

Michelle Obama, dubbed ‘commander-in-sheath’ by Vanity Fair magazine over her predilection for straight-cut, figure-skimming simple shapes, looked sunny, optimistic and elegant yesterday in a gold shift and matching edge-to-edge collarless coat by Isabel Toledo.

The Cuban-American designer, one-time creative head at Anne Klein – that most preppy of U.S. labels – has been designing under her own name in New York for 20 years now.

Golden girl: Michelle Obama in her simple shift dress and coat by Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo, paired with green shoes and matching gloves, while her crystal necklace came from Tom Binns

Her clothes are not cheap, regularly retailing at £500 for a day dress, and are sold only in exclusive outlets including Barneys.

It is an uptown label most fitting for Mrs Obama’s transformation from Gap-dressed mom to First Lady of Fashion.

I loved the festive crystal necklace by Tom Binns at the neckline, the soft cardie worn for warmth (she knew she would look pinched if she got too cold), and the pearlised stockings. source

Despite vowing to drop the pounds, Oprah Winfrey now appears to have put on weight.

The chat show host recently confessed that her weight was making her miserable and hailed 2009 as the ‘year of hopefulness’.

But judging by these pictures, Oprah still has her work cut out for her. Source

Barack Obama made history this afternoon as he was sworn in as America’s first black president.

Over a million watching people crammed into the streets of Washington – with over a billion watching on television around the world – as the 47-year-old junior senator from Chicago became the most powerful man in the world.

His wife Michelle and two daughters Sasha and Malia watched as Mr Obama made the famous inauguration pledge to take over the White House from George Bush. Source

The eyes of the world were on Barack Obama as he was sworn in as President of the United States today, but while they may have been listening with rapt attention to his inaugural speech, wife Michelle also found herself in the spotlight.

As future First Lady taking her place on the world stage next to her husband, Michelle was aware that some of the focus would fall on her – and her fashion choice.

And now we can report that the woman who looks as effortlessly stylish in a chain store dress as she does in a catwalk creation has chosen a pale gold dress by Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo for the first leg of inauguration day.  Source

After cancelling her interview with Fabulous four – yes four – times, we were finally granted an audience with everyone’s favourite heiress, Paris Hilton.

And despite letting slip that one of the nights we were told she was too ill to talk to us she was actually at a party, Paris was worth the wait. There were no apologies of course, but the 27 year old is polite, funny, warm and open in a way that makes you forgive her anything – even the audible yawns as we put questions to her.

But frankly, it’s no wonder she’s so worn out. Not only does she have her own clothing and perfume lines, she acts, sings, and is a well-established TV star. She may be a Hilton heiress, but she’s well on her way to making her own billions. However, while she’s been lucky in business, Paris’ love life is another matter.

Single again after splitting with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, 29, last November, she’s back to the endless whirl of parties and paparazzi pursuits that is life on Planet Paris.

But instead of focusing on finding a man, she’s hunting for a new BBF (British best friend) and this being Paris, it’s all happening in the public eye… Read More

Grabbing up a refreshing coffee drink, Hilary Duff was spotted heading to her car following a stop at The Coffee Bean in West Hollywood on Friday.

Dressed in a white tank top with dark blue flare leg jeans, the “Lizzie McGuire” starlet offered up a quick smile and laugh as she hopped in her Mercedes SUV before pulling away.

While she insists that she’s single, AnnaLynne McCord sure does enjoy spending time with “Twilight” hunk Kellan Lutz.

The “90210” starlet joined Mr Lutz for a romantic dinner at Arnie Morton’s Steakhouse in Burbank, with the two happily posing with fans outside the restaurant before splitting up when approached by a paparazzo.
