It's still unclear whether the Securities Exchange Commission will look into investigating 50 Cent over messages he posted to his Twitter account encouraging his followers to buy stock in H&H Imports. But according to Jason Krywko, the chief operating officer of Sleek Audio, the company behind 50's headphone line, the Mc is only guilty of being excited about a new business venture.
After it was discovered that H&H Imports is the parent company of TV Goods Inc., which has a stake in Sleek Audio and is distributing Fif's new line of headphones, Sleek by 50 Cent, eyebrows were raised about whether the Queens rapper had violated any ethical rules.

Rihanna is following the pop star-turned-mogul trend by launching her debut signature fragrance.
Teaming up with Parlux Fragrances Inc., the songstress is set to release the new scent called Reb'l Fleur in department stores this spring. In a press release, the Loud singer said she hoped to make a one-of-a-kind perfume, from the aroma to the design of the bottle.
"I believe a woman should dare to be different — willing to live her life for herself and not for other people," Rihanna said in the release. "This fragrance is about my passion for individuality — being expressive and empowering, yes, but also emotional and intriguing. I promise you Reb'l Fleur will not be easily forgotten."

All it takes to break into the hip-hop game is one hot guest appearance or a buzzworthy mixtape track. The difficult thing, however, is maintaining that sort of energy and interest. Drake proved that he was up to that task in 2010, and the fact that "Fancy" — which comes in at #7 on MTV News' Top 25 Songs of the year — was not even a single and still managed to have the impact that it did is a testament to the 24-year-old Canadian's skill and prowess.
When he first became the man of the moment in hip-hop, it was uncertain whether or not Drake would manage to keep up the buzz after the surprise success of "Best I Ever Had." But Thank Me...

This week: Who’s really the most powerful gay guy in the world? Is Mark “Money for Nothing” Knopfler homophobic?
Have a question about gay male entertainment? Contact me here (and be sure and include your city and state and/or country!
Q: Recently, I've been reading about the movie Role/Play starring real-life boyfriends Matthew Montgomery and Steve Callahan and it got me thinking about gay-themed movies in which the gay leads, romantic or otherwise, are portrayed by openly gay actors. So far I've come up with seven other movies: Adam & Steve, Back Soon, Eating Out 3, A Four Letter Word, Long Term Relationship, Save Me, and Shortbus. Are there any others out there? -- Aaron, Chicago
A: There are surprisingly few.
Generally speaking, the lower the budget, the more likely the actors are to be gay and out. Why? Well, not to be unkind to some very talented indie actors,...

Like many brides-to-be, Katy Perry didn't let anything come between her and a final night of single-girl debauchery — not even the arrest of her fiancé, Russell Brand.
Perry, whose future husband was taken into custody after an altercation with a paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, hit Las Vegas Saturday night for a bachelorette party thrown by fellow pop princess and celebrity bestie Rihanna.
Vegas celebrity columnist Robin Leach dished that the "California Gurls" singer and a few pals hit the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Saturday afternoon with a bunch of huge pink playthings. Later that night, the "Waking Up in Vegas" star made a fittingly grand appearance at the MGM Grand for a performance of Cirque du Soleil's "KÀ," showing up with 25 partygoers in a stretch limousine.

Spencer Pratt says that he and wife Heidi Montag separated last month because the two grew apart. Their main rift was that he still enjoys being in the limelight, while she would prefer a more settled life.
"We love each other but I'm a famewhore and I'll never grow out of it," Pratt told People.com. "[Heidi] knows that and doesn't want that. I want every kind of press. She believes in bad press. There's no way my love for fame and her love for puppies will ever work out successfully. She just wants to hike and hang out and be calmer."
Heidi has remained incredibly low-key since she filed for legal separation from Spencer, tweeting mostly about going to the beach.

The "Today" show's Al Roker may have finally buried the hatchet with "The Hills" stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Last summer, Roker famously got into a spat with Montag and Pratt, after the couple appeared on the morning show to tout their appearance on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"
As Roker questioned the couple's behavior on the NBC show, the conversation quickly turned sour. Montag and Pratt walked off the "Today" show set, but the battle didn't end there. Soon, the unlikely adversaries were bashing each other in interviews and on Twitter. Now, nearly a year later, Roker wants to let bygones be bygones ... sort of.

When word spread that Lady Gaga would be at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Thursday (January 7) to discuss her partnership with Polaroid as the new creative director for a specialty line of products, many wondered: What would the pop star wear? In true Gaga fashion, her outfit definitely stood out.
Gaga's hair was the true centerpiece of the ensemble — which included a see-through black dress and sunglasses — with her blond locks (or a matching hairpiece) styled to resemble a wide-brim straw hat, similar to the oversize hats women wear to the Kentucky Derby.
The singer spoke to the crowd at the CES Polaroid event about why she got involved with the company. "Well, I'm definitely a Polaroid camera girl,...
