50 Cent says the only time he sees his son nowadays is in a courtroom. The rapper, who was recently granted some unrestricted time with his son next month, says, "It's a bunch of bull -- I gotta go to court to see my son, not even for the actual custody [suit] -- just to see him period... That's when it gets bad. I got mixed feelings about the whole situation... I watched my son's mother have conversations with news reporters pretty much the whole 35 to 45 minutes while we were waiting. I sat there and was like, 'You can't say anything but the wrong thing to them,' from her perspective. The more you talk, the more you show what you really have -- finances. Again this court date, she showed up with a new bag, another one... It seems that everything burnt but the bags. It's interesting."
Fif' says baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins has a lot in common with rap rivals such as The Game and Young Buck. "What's crazy is she's going to start sounding like a rap star, she's gonna start sounding like Game or somebody who didn't like [me] because we have no interaction. So, she don't know anything about me personally on any level."

You'd probably think the chances of a Madonna - Alex Rodriguez sex tape hitting the streets are zero-to-none, but, hey, you never know.

Supposedly Madonna borrowed the apartment of one of her Kabbalah pals for some afternoon batting practice with the Yankee third baseman, only to have the whole thing taped with a hidden camera. One British tabloid reportedly already offered up two-million dollars for the tape. Stay tuned. -- Lee Jeske
