TODAY'S BLOG IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FOLLOWING...
50 Cent has axed fellow rapper Young Buck from his G-Unit group, after he spoke out about dissent within the ranks of the "In Da Club" star's collective.
Young Buck, real name David Darnell Brown, was quoted in a recent interview with Yo! Raps magazine bemoaning the fact he'd "never seen a royalty check" since signing with 50's G-Unit Records imprint - despite releasing his two albums, 2004's Straight Outta Cashville and 2007's Buck The World, on the label.
However, the allegations were blasted by the star's manager Sha Money XL, who claimed the quotes had been fabricated, insisting G-Unit has paid Young Buck $10 million to date.
Rumors of a rift between 50 and Young Buck have been around for months, after the "Shorty Wanna Ride" rapper was alleged to have signed with rival label Cash Money Records in January 2008.
That report proved to be false, as did another claim that 50 was on the verge of firing Young Buck after he failed to join the G-Unit group on tour, or feature on their February 2008 mixtape.
But now superstar 50 Cent has cleared up the rumors once and for all, by confirming Young Buck's departure from the group. Yet, he will continue on G-Unit Records in a solo capacity.
And 50 has compared the long-running feud with Young Buck to the infamous sacking of The Game from G-Unit in 2006.
Speaking to a radio station Monday, he said, "You can look at it and see that's Game all the way.
"I was giving him a chance, giving him the benefit of the doubt (to remain with the group). You can take this as an official notice right here - pretty much you can say: Young Buck is no longer in the group G-Unit, but signed to G-Unit (Records) as a solo artist."

Oprah to be on 30 Rock
Just two weeks ago, while discussing some dream casting options for her NBC comedy 30 Rock, Tina Fey told reporters, "I still want Oprah to play my best friend...and I don't know what I need to do to make that happen."Well, as of today, it might happen. Chicagoland sources who were at the taping of The Oprah Show starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for Baby Mama just wrote in to tell us this fantastic news:
According to members of the live audience, during a commercial break, Oprah said she had heard Tina wanted to be her best friend and asked whether Tina meant in real life or on the show. When Tina said "both!" Oprah said, "Have your people call my people."
Oprah then said that she was "definitely interested" and would love to appear on the show, to which Tina gestured to the people in the audience, to the effect of "You heard it!"
So...Tina Fey and Oprah Winfrey? Together? If this happened, I would never ask the TV gods for anything ever again, because...seriously! Best boost ever. If Britney can lift How I Met Your Mother's ratings by 1 million, just think what freaking Oprah could do for the Rock. (That said, can we get her on Friday Night Lights and Reaper, too?)

Snoop Dogg Hit With Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
Rapper Snoop Dogg is facing legal action from a little-known songwriter, who has accused the star of copyright infringement for his latest single "Sensual Seduction."
Millennium Child, real name James D. Jenkins, claims the "Beautiful" hitmaker - real name Calvin Broadus - stole his "music strings" for the single from an audio tape he gave to the manager of rapper/actor Ice Cube in 2006.
The bizarre lawsuit, which was handwritten by Jenkins and filed in Colorado District Court this week, states: "I had hand (sic) Ice Cube manager (sic)1 tape... From there I don't know how Calvin Broadus got a hold of it. The tape."
But Jenkins is not seeking any damages in return - he's simply asking for the "documents related to the case," reports TMZ.com.
