Rapper Game and R&B songbird El DeBarge have teamed up to do a commercial for the Italian automobile company, FIAT, and we have the behind the scene pics. Plus, find out why Game landed in the ER Thursday night after a stunt on his recent video shoot went wrong...

On Thursday night, TMZ reports rapper Game was hospitalized after a stunt with a guitar during a video shoot. Game was shooting a video for "Purp & Yellow" featuring Snoop Dogg, DJ Skee, and NBA players Matt Barnes and Ron Artest in Los Angeles. During the video shoot, Game smashed a guitar during his scene and a shattered piece of the instrument cut his finger wide open, which landed him in the emergency room. He received several stitches to close the wound.

Aretha Franklin: "I Never Had Pancreatic Cancer"

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 12:34 PM PST

 

Aretha Franklin is finally opening up--somewhat--about her recent health issues.  She says she did have surgery, she was in the hospital, and she is recovering...but not from pancreatic cancer.  Deets after the jump...

News organizations all over the world reported the news that Aretha Franklin had pancreatic cancer.  Especially after her own family members were quoted as saying so.  Now, Ms. Franklin herself is denying that she ever had the disease. 

Though the Queen of Soul is still keeping mum about what she had exactly, we now know what she didn't have.  She told Access Hollywood,

"I don’t know where 'pancreatic cancer' came from.  I was sitting there reading the newspaper and it was saying someone in my family said that. No one in my family ever said that to anybody."

Aretha did reveal that she initially sought treatment for something that caused a pain in her side so great that "it almost brought me to my knees."

She then had a "successful procedure." And now she feels fine. 

"[My doctor] said, 'The surgery that you just had is going to add 15 to 20 more years to your life," she said, adding that she's slimmed "down to a rockin' [size] 16-18. It’s getting better every day. I plan on keeping this weight that I have now -- I’m so happy with it."

So was this "surgery" gastric bypass?  Either way, we are pleased to hear that she is doing well.  She even copped a letter from President Barack Obama.  She said, "I got a wonderful and beautiful letter from the President.  And nobody does it like him!"

 

ANOTHER THIRSTY PR STUNT?: Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa Expose Their Love, Kanye Pops Off?

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 12:03 PM PST

Here we go with the twitter tales.  Looks like Amber Rose and rapper Wiz Khlalifa are using the formula of exposing your personal life via Twitter for publicity.  And according to their very public tweets they made sure all their followers saw, Amber is in love with "Cam"--Wiz's government name--and Wiz loves her back. 

 

Their tweets and Kanye West's alleged penial response when you read on...

Last we checked, Wiz was dating "Bad Girls Club" chick Natalie Nunn and she was all up in everybody's cameras talking about how in love they were.  Amber has constantly said she and Wiz are "just friends" as the've only been spending time togetehr recently because Wiz will be the new face of her sunglasses shop and will appear on her "Behind The Shades" reality show.

But it was a different story last night when these tweets to each other hit their timelines:

 

Ummm....ok.  So is this just thirsty fake PR for Amber upcoming reality show?  Or is it real love?  Or do we even care enough to find out?

We also got a hold of Kanye's ALLEGED tweet that one of his followers ALLEGEDLY retweeted:

 

We can't verify Kanye actually tweeted this as it is no longer on his timeline. But it would be funny if true.

 

BONUS: Amber accompanied Wiz to his recent interview on Big Boy's Neighborhood:

Rappers React To Gucci Mane's Face Tat + His Tattoo Artist Says He Will NOT Do That Again

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 09:52 AM PST

Wonder what other folks are saying about Gucci Mane's decision to get a face tattoo?  So were we...and you can find out inside.  Plus, hear what the tattoo artist had to say about his creation and if he will ever do it again....

 

A few other rappers in the game have offered their opinions about Gucci's face tat we were the first to break the news about on Wednesday. Here's our roundup...

D-Nice, legendary BDP member, tweeted:

Gucci Mane's facial tattoo of an ice cream cone causes my finger to inch closer to the delete button in Serato. He must've been #wasted,"  

 

Talib Kweli tweeted:

That he was on his way to the "tattoo parlor for my new face tattoo. I'm gonna get my face tattooed on my face!"

 

Oakland rapper Yukmouth created a new hash tag dedicated to Gucci Mane:

"#guccimaneicecreamconetattoo used to be on #MASTERp arm…he upgraded from shoulder [sic] to 2 face."

Teehee.

 

And Joe Budden said

"I'm sure rappers are racing to get their Gucci Mane/cream on the face punchline…I'm getting mines done asap,"

 

SMH.  I'm sure the jokes will keep coming...

 

Meanwhile, Shane Willoughby, Gucci's tattoo artist and owner of the shop says that Gucci will be the last person to ever get a facial tattoo with triple scoop ice cream cone with lightening bolts from Atlanta’s Tenth Street Tattoo, because he probably won’t do that again.

"I was [hesitant] like 'Are you sure you want to put that much [ink] in that area?,'" Willoughby told Vibe.com. "He came straight to the counter and that's where he pointed.  When [Gucci] said he wanted to do the ice cream thing I said 'Well why don't we do it somewhere else?' But he was like I don't have anywhere else."

 

And for those of you who have seen Gucci shirtless...you now that isn't a lie.  Where else would he put it?  So...what makes a man put ink to his face?  I'm still not sure but it wasn't the purple drank.

"I won't tattoo anybody if they’re [drunk] or high because I can't stand the smell of weed... [Gucci] seemed completely sober” ha explained. “He knew what he was doing. He said 'I want something rock 'n roll.' There's nothing more rock 'n roll than lightening bolts."

Asked if he would do it again, Shane said no....he won't be taking anymore outragous requests.

"I don't think I'll ever do [that] again... no matter how successful [the celebrity]," he said.  

Sigh...

Usher Breaks Down On Euro Tour Dates Due To Drugs & Alcohol?!?!

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 09:11 AM PST

The stresses of a world tour seem to be getting to Usher Raymond.  We're getting reports from our European readers that Usher is missing his Euro dates and it's not because of "illness" like his reps have been making people believe.

 

We've got video of Usher struggling to get through one of his songs and leaving the stage in the middle of it.  And juicy details about him allegedly getting caught drinking and popping pills at a bar after cancelling his Berlin concert.  Read on for the deets....

Usher's reps stated earlier this week that he would be cancelling his Berlin tour date due to illness.  But apparently, the Berlin and European fans believe something else is going on.

Here's an email we received from a reader in Berlin about Usher getting caught drinking and possibly partaking in some "substances" at a bar right after he cancelled his tour date:

Hey Natasha!

I'm from Germany and I'm pretty sure that almost none of you heard about the BIIIIIIIIIIG Usher scandal in Germany. Yesterday, Usher had his first show of his OMG Tour in Germany/Berlin and after the previous artist, Tinie Tempah, fans waited more than 40 minutes until the management cancelled the show because Usher "wasn't feeling well" and they postponed it to today.

It is also said that he was seen in Berlin in a Cocktailbar after cancelling the concert! His fans had to wait about 40 more minutes today until he came on stage. There were five songs (sung only playback not live), interrupted by several 5-minute breaks during which Usher left the stage without further announcements and a "DJ" took over for a few minutes.

Then the fiasco took its course: as Usher sang a song which he sang "wrong and crooked", he interrupted the song and gave an excuse for the cancellation of the previous day. While trying to sing everybody booed at him.

Usher's reaction: he sat down and put his head on the microphone. After he had sung for another 10 seconds, he went off the stage. The lights went on and the concert was over. Fans from all over Germany, Austria and other countries came to see him and then something like this happened.  No one knows exactly what happened, if he's really ill or if he took drugs, too much alcohol. I thought this might be interesting for you and sorry for my bad English!

Here's a few videos where Ursh had a break-down mid-song and looked visibly ill and disturbed. He told his fans he would have to postpone and return at another time:

What's really hood Ursh?
