50 Cent Charged with Domestic Violence
50 Cent has been charged with domestic violence after the hip-hop mogul allegedly kicked the mother of his child and destroyed her condo last month.
According to the L.A. City Attorney (via TMZ), the 37-year-old rapper is being accused of causing $7,100 in damage during the June 23 incident, which occurred inside his baby mama’s condo in Toluca Lake, CA.
The woman reportedly called LAPD officers and told them she had gotten into an altercation with 50 and locked herself in the bedroom. During the argument, 50 allegedly got angry, kicked down the door, and kicked her. He is also accused of breaking chandeliers, furniture, a TV, and a lamp.
50 faces five charges including one count of misdemeanor domestic violence and four counts of misdemeanor vandalism. If convicted on all counts, he could be sentenced to up to five years in jail and face $46,000 in fines.

Gabrielle Union Opens up on Losing ‘Scandal’ Lead to Kerry Washington
Gabrielle Union mentioned on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” that she auditioned for the role of Olivia Pope on ABC’s “Scandal,” which of course went to Kerry Washington.
While promoting tonight’s premiere of her BET series “Being Mary Jane,” the actress spoke to the Associated Press about losing the role, and how the Olivia Pope character gave her hope that more strong, likeable black female TV leads were being written.
“I said to myself, ‘Oh my God, these roles are out there,’” Union said. “It showed me that you don’t have to settle. Luckily, the success of her and the show bred more work. Just from the audition process, I knew that I couldn’t go backward.”
“Being Mary Jane” premiered last night as a two-hour movie and will return in January for an eight-episode run. Union stars as Mary Jane, a TV news anchor who struggles to balance work, her love life and her family, and represents a very different direction from, as she puts it, her usual “good girl who meets the bad guy from the other side of the tracks” characters.
“If you loved me for one thing and may not have liked me in something else, this role gives the audience a chance to see that I can do more than one thing,” said Union.
“I didn’t get Scandal, but I got something better — which is my own show,” Union said. “It’s all about building a legacy. This new opportunity is something I feel that can grow.”

No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?”
