The Best Worst Interview Ever - Eric Andre’s humor is an acquired taste, so it’s really odd that T.I. would even agree to go on the comedian's show. Thankfully he did show up because we’ve haven’t laughed this hard since the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty. Nudity seems to be T.I.’s line in the sand – sans the uncensored video for “Blurred Lines.”(Photo: Nicholas Hunt/Getty Images)

Reconciliation Inferno - It’s been a busy month for 50 Cent, who a couple of weeks ago made up with the Game at an L.A. strip club. This week he mended fences with Cam’ron after a decade of feuding. It seems like 50 Cent really is going down his list of feuds and squashing all of them. Vivica, check your DMs!(Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for JCPenney)

New Music Alert #1 - The U.S. government should outsource some of their espionage to the Bey Hive because they managed to unearth FaceTime screen caps between producer, Boots, and the singer which gave them clues to possible new Beyoncé music.

Drizzy feat. EVERYBODY - Drake really pulled out all the stunts for his tour stop in New York City. Between all the beef with Hot 97 and him inviting everyone on stage with him during his last night, it was like a season finale of Empire.(Photos from left: Neil Mockford/Alex Huckle/GC Images, Donald Bowers/Getty Images for New York Market Radio)

40 For West - Kanye West is breaking records. His feature on ScHoolBoy Q’s latest single gives Kanye 40 entries into the Top 40, beating Michael Jackson’s record of 39. He’ll probably go on Ellen’s show next week and give a “speech” about this new accomplishment.(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella)
