WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH

Today is the day the showdown between Kanye West and 50 Cent begins. Kanye West's new album "Graduation" and 50 Cent's new album "Curtis" both drop today. The website BetUS.com has two-to-one odds that Kanye will have better first week sales than 50, and Amazon.com announced that, based on their pre-sales, "Graduation" is beating "Curtis" FIVE-to-one. 50 has finally admitted he's a little worried about his sales. . . not because of competition from Kanye. . . but because hip-hop fans may have turned on him because he's SO famous and he's sold SO many records in the past.

Britney was just as upset as the rest of us after her performance opening the MTV Awards. When she got off stage she burst into tears. But she soon got over it and hit the town afterwards, forgetting to put her knickers on again! Click here.
While Britney Spears was committing career suicide, Kevin Federline was throwing a birthday party for their two sons. Jayden James turns one today and Sean Preston will be two on Friday. Both of Britney's parents were at the party.

Guy Ritchie turned 39 on Monday, and how did he celebrate?? I don’t think you want to know…He and Madonna were seen leaving a sex store that day with a clear plastic bag… inside was a Purple Penetrator strap-on!!!

Justin Timberlake won the Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics on Saturday for his spoof song ‘Dick In a Box’. He was not there to collect his prize.

"Heroes" Cheerleader Hayden Panettiere is working on an album and her first single has fond it’s way to the internet. It’s called "Your New Girlfriend".

The most exciting thing to happen all night was when Pamela Anderson’s ex husbands, Tommy lee and Kid rock, got into some fisticuffs!! They’ve hated each other ever since Kid started dating, and eventually married Pammy.
Tommy was sitting at a table with P. Diddy. Kid Rock was supposed to introduce the show's final performance with Puffy, and as Kid made his way toward their table, Tommy Lee started giving him shit.
Nobody knows what exactly Tommy said, but it was enough to cause Kid Rock to backhand Tommy Lee in the face.
Tommy tried to fight back but didn't actually land any punches. Kid Rock punched Tommy face before security stepped in and pulled them apart.

You can see some of the fight here. Note that Kid Rock manages to keep his cigar in his mouth the whole time he and Tommy Lee are going at each other. . .

Kanye West is not happy about losing all 5 categories he was nominated in. He threw a tantrum in front of the media as the show was ending, shouting, "that's two years in a row, I'm trying hard man, I have the number one record. I will never return to MTV". He also attacked MTV for choosing Britney Spears to open the show, saying "nobody gives a f-k about britney. I should have opened the MTV Awards. I have the #1 song in the country. Maybe they feel like they'll get more ratings with Britney, but you saw her, she sucked"...
