Lady Gaga has never been upfront about her sexuality, so it's fair to assume that she's undecided and willing to explore her options. With the sexual innuendos in her recent video "Telephone", it's not surprise that a fan sent her a quick picture of herself with another unassuming pop star. Suggestive to say the least, the illustration features Gaga and Beyonce sitting on the American Flag with a telephone cord wrapped around them as they stare lovingly into each other's eyes.

The picture was created by a Belgium woman, and since Gaga loves controversy, she tweeted the photo to her legions of fans with a note attached, "I think the Pop Universe just imploded." Completely brilliant. Whoever made this: BRAVO."

We're not insinuating, but they look very comfortable.

Mrs. Carter isn't known for having loose lips, but in a recent interview with a German magazine, she felt compelled to share intimate details about her marriage.

When asked by the interviewer whether or not life was easier being a multi-millionaire, Beyonce responded, "The fear of the student, have no future, being dependent on her boyfriend, objectively weigh heavier than the fears that torment me. Only music from subjective feeling arises - and subjective fears, many musicians have lost. We feel pain and depression, just like other people. What separates us is perhaps the price of butter. But all that is essential, I feel like every hard working woman." Continuing, she explained that Jay has different views about her role as a wife, "I believe that in my relationship with Jay-Z – as in any genuine relationship – not everything is easy. I want children – not now, later. He's entirely not aware of that fact yet. I want to sit around at home, also times in a tracksuit pants. He assumes and believes that women even wear high heels just to go to the bathroom."

What about that iron-clad pre-nup the happy couple supposedly has? Even though Beyonce wasn't willing to go into great detail, she did reveal that, "I do not deny that there is a marriage contract. I would encourage any woman getting married to put on such a treaty, it will gain more influence on self-esteem."

With all the money floating between them, we hope Beyonce has a clause in there about potential child support.

One of 50 Cent's bodyguards has been arrested after assaulting a group of photographers who were waiting for the rapper outside of a Copenhagen hotel. Danish police did not release the bodyguard's name but confirmed that he worked for Fif and has been charged with assaulting two photographers.

MSN Star Lounge editor-in-chief Nikolaj Vraar was one of the alleged victims. "One of 50 Cent's bodyguards came out and told us to leave," Vraar told radaronline.com "The next thing I knew he grabs my throat and tried to strangle me. He cut off my airway, and I couldn't breathe. He took my camera and deleted photos."

And we thought Kanye was bad.

Keyshia Cole's Sisters Respond To Excommunication

When Keyshia Cole released a statement earlier this year explaining that she had cut off her family it was apparently a surprise to sisters Elite and Neffe. The sisters appeared on Atlanta's V-103 to promote the new season of the Frankie and Neffe reality show and to clear the air.

Neffe: You could never cut your blood loose no matter what you are doing on this earth. It runs through our veins. I'm gonna keep it 100. My sister decided to live a different life. It's not because "oh we ghetto, we belligerent and loud". We are all cut from the same cloth. [We all came from Frankie] If you see us, we out there, it's just that Keyshia keeps hers behind closed doors.

Elite: When I read it I was shocked. It was hurtful too. I had just come off of tour with Keyshia. We had 3 or 4 tours, I worked for my sister, I was her assistant for 8 months so I worked. I was shocked [by the statement]. Last time we spoke to her we didn't think it was going to be a public permanent thing. When we last spoke to my sister, we had a family dinner to discuss some family matters and she was a little upset about the whole Frankie and Neffe Show.

The sisters also said that they never asked to be brought to Atlanta or given a television show.

All of this sounds like a really big misunderstanding. Hopefully they can work it out before it becomes a "code 10, man down situation."

Aswad Ayinde's name may not be all that familiar to you but his work is. Ayinde won an MTV award for directing the video for The Fugees' megahit "Killing Me Softly." However Ayinde's name will forever live in infamy now that charges of incest have been levied against him. He is accused of fathering six kids with his daughters from the mid-1980s to 2002 - and delivering the babies himself according to New Jersey prosecutors.

Apparently Ayinde felt he was special and needed to keep his lineage going from what his ex says. "He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," Beverly Ayinde testified at a pre-trial hearing.

According to court records Ayinde moved from town to town and even pawned his daughters off as his wives.

This guy deserves whatever is coming to him. They should put him under the jail.

Former Dipset Capo Jim Jones is going to take a break from his Capo status to teach an 8-week course at an New York public school. Jones broke down the process in an interview with rapradar.com

"Yeah, should I make them call me Mr. Jones? I'll be teaching for eight weeks, I'll be teaching a real curriculum, right now they're actually going back and forth with the Board of Education to see what goes on and sh*t. I fully don't know the whole logistics of everything -- it's definitely going to be fun...I'ma have to go home the weekend before and write out my lessons -- this will be the funnest class you can go to and sh*t but you gonna learn a lot. We all went to school, n*ggas didn't like homework, but we knew every single song that was out. Word for word, ad libs, all that...I think they'll get this common sense. Music 101 I guess [is the course title.] I've done music business since I was a teenager, I had major executive positions, I've been successful as an artist and successful as a label, we've been successful as a movement..."

We really don’t see this actually happening once the school board gets wind of Jim Jones rap sheet. It's a cool idea in theory but...c'mon son!

In a sad turn of events, Monica and her fiancé Rocko have decided to call it quits. Although, there are numerous rumors as to the actual cause of the split, Monica issued her own statement via Sandra Rose.

"...I am going to do what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire relationship and I'm sure that was not easy. However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and I'm truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the good and the bad throughout the years."

Everything seemed all good between these too but it seems that Monica's working through the pain. In related news, her new album, Still Standing, is set to hit stores March 23.

Even the most hardcore hip hop head is familiar with the storied Winans' family. Well a younger member of the Winans clan was accused of defrauding church members out of $11 million.

According to mediatakeout.com, Michael Winans Jr., a former member of gospel group Phase 2 and son of Michael Winans Sr. is accused of selling bonds to Black churches in Detroit. Supposedly the bonds were backed by interests in Saudi Oil companies. Just as you might've guessed, the plot thickens. Not only were the bonds fake, but Michael used his connections, and his famous last name, to lure church folk into forking over their hard-earned cash.

Detroit's Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation says, "Our investigation found that Michael Winans Jr. orchestrated a scheme that resulted in hundreds of Detroit residents losing millions of hard-earned dollars. Promising sky-high, guaranteed returns, these scammers unscrupulously fleeced unsuspecting churchgoers who let their financial guard down."

The Wu's most underachieving member, Method Man recently spoke to MTV about the highly anticipated collaborative effort with Ghostface and Raekwon. Though the hype is big for the album and nearly all early reviews have come back positive Meth says the album was rushed and done with a minimal budget.

"We're not doing this to win," he said in an interview. "We're not doing this to bring Wu-Tang to the forefront. We're not doing this to save the group. We're a part of the group," Method Man said recently in New York. "This album could have been done by Deck, U-God and GZA. Either/or, it's still Wu-Tang. The bottom line with this LP, it was something fans always requested...Def Jam put a rush on it. We didn't have a lot of time to work on it. We recorded with no budget. It is what it is. We did this for the fans. It felt good to get in the studio with Rae and Ghost. The future looks bright."

It sounds like Meth is making pre-excuses just in case the general public doesn't respond positively to the album. From what we've heard, he has nothing to worry about.

Wu-Massacre will be in stores March 30^th.

Chris Brown is feeling the effects of the unofficial radio ban many stations have placed on his music after the Rihanna fiasco. The singer uploaded a message to SayNow pleading with his fans to call radio stations and request his songs.

"I ain't never really did this but right now I need all of my fans' help. It's crazy because a lot of radio stations aren't playing my records. They're not being that supportive and I wouldn't expect them to. It's on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back because that's all I need. Nothing else will do that except for the fans. There's nothing else that I can do. I'm doing everything that I need to do. I'm doing me as a person and I'm a better guy."

"My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won't be possible if I'm not relevant on the radio and it wouldn't be possible for me to be an artist if I don't have any support. I can't be an underground mix-tape artist. That's where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love y'all. Peace."

Chris Brown is young and he's seemingly learned from his mistakes. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Usher is on full fledged press machine mode. He is on the cover of the latest Billboard magazine explaining why this new album Raymond VS. Raymond is a step above his last flop Here I Stand.

"I went all the way into being super husband and super dad, thinking, 'I've got to be serious all the time. I've got to be the man.' I put my swagger down for a minute, but I didn't throw it away, now it's time to get it back."

It should be clear to fans from the "Papers" record that the singer is back on the prowl for sure.

"The song wasn't intended to glorify my personal situation or people breaking up. I didn't know if it was going to be the single or part of the album. I just thought it was a special track that would represent me well," says Usher.

Though the Hot Boyz reunion rumors have calmed down, the members of the southern super group still hold each other down. B.G. who is facing a legal situation of his own recently spoke to MTV about his incarcerated comrade Turk.

"I talk to Turk all the time," B.G. said. "He's been down almost six years. He took 10 years on the gun charge. They dropped the charges of attempted murder on a police officer because it was friendly fire. They have a civil lawsuit with the police [officer's family]. He's supposed to be on his way to the halfway house. Turk's a soldier. He's handling it like a gangsta. He's got smarter, wiser, he's been reading. Six years in the feds ... his chess game is on point. He's been eating. He got about 10 albums [written]. He's ready."

Rumors of Turk getting out of jail have been around for damn near as long as he's been locked down. However it is good to hear from a reputable source that Turk is doing well.

Harlem producer Dame Grease has come to the defense of long time collaborator DMX. In an interview with Vibe, Grease says that the reports of X abusing drugs are greatly exaggerated.

"They got him on some super duper strict probation. You gotta report almost every day, so I think he missed like three or something," said Dame. "Of course, the main thing is getting him healthy. But he's been clean. He knows he can't use drugs 'cause he'll go to f*ckin' jail. I don't know what the exact terms [of the violation] are, but as far as any dirty urine, I'm not aware of that and I know he's been clean."

We all want to believe our drug addicted friends are clean but it is not always the case.

T-Pain has to be one of the worst dressed celebrities and his infatuation with top hats did not help his cause. Thankfully he has decided to do away with the fashion mishap.

During a recent taping of the Carson Daly Show, Pain explained his decision. "I have 332 right now," Pain admitted to Daly. "Yeah, I had to number them and sign them because I'm getting rid of them, I'm giving them to the Grammy committee and they're selling them on eBay and the money goes to foundations and charities. I will not [get more hats.] I'm giving them up, that was just for the Thr33 Ringz album. That was just for a ring leader look, you know I figured, if I'm gonna be fat with dreads, I might as well wear stupid clothes too. That was probably just part of the ensemble of the album."

Maybe he'll start collecting six-shooters for his upcoming album RevolveR.

How this went undercover for so long is beyond us. We've all got a few skeletons in the closet, but your own sister is unacceptable for most. But not for NFL prospect Tony Washington In May 2003 the then 16-year-old was convicted of doing the nasty with his biological sister. Folks who knew the kid said it was consensual but his sister remains private on the matter.

Washington received five years probation and is registered as a sex offender. Yikes!

Of course Washington feels remorseful about the situation. "I made a mistake at the age of 16, and for that, I am deeply sorry ... I will not try and excuse or justify anything. I have worked extremely hard to do everything right so that I might have an opportunity to give back. I only hope that someone in the NFL will give me the same opportunity that Abilene Christian and Trinity Valley gave me," he said.

Where the hell were the parents?
