Fall? What fall? That's the line Jennifer Lopez took on Monday morning (November 23) after her apparent slip during Sunday night's American Music Awards performance became one of the most-searched items on the Internet.
Giggling while reliving the seeming slip-up during her run through her new single "Louboutins," Lopez appeared on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show on Monday (November 23) and made light of the incident.

Song After The JumpHipHopWired Reports
“If Proof was alive, he's be dying inside. You ain't no Hip-Hop messiah, you a b*tch cause you dissed Mariah. Sh*t like that, supposed to be private.”
It looks like old wounds heal slow as Canibus has set his sights back on Eminem to release another diss track at the Detroit native.
Rumored to be titled “Pop Killer”, the rapper, alongside another rapper known as DZK, digs up the past beef as he goes in on Mr. Mathers.
“I'ma fry you on behalf of Mariah and Michael, put you back on dem drugs, make you suicidal. You can't shut the record down, n*gga it's viral.”
For those that don't know the history, beef between the two reportedly started back in 1998 before Shady was even signed. Em states that he was approached by Canibus and Wyclef Jean and was asked if he wrote the lyrics to LL Cool J's diss track “The Ripper Strikes Back” which he denied, but added that Bus was rude with him.
Bus later tried to apologize for the incident by showing up at the Warped Tour in 1999 and asked him to rap along with him on the track “Phuck U”, but Shady turned it down, allegedly because he felt the track was a diss to Cool J.
Shots were allegedly fired initially on The Slim Shady LP and escalated once Canibus did his own version of “Stan” from The Marshall Mathers LP where he saved the life of the title character. The two continued to spar with each other up to 2002.
“He's a devil in a red dress on MTV. He signed more Black people than a basketball team. What you tryna say subconsciously, you can't ride the beat like me. Consciously, you know I'll rock you to sleep. Slim Shady, you a coward cause you scared to rap with me. The only Black man you respect is 50. And the greatest rapper of all time was dead right and dead wrong, you shouldn't even have been on that song.”
Artists such as Royce Da 5'9 have started to weigh in on the attempt by the rapper to wage war once again.
Wherever the random diss came from, only Bis knows, but Em is one with quite the track record with battle rap. “Warning” shows that he isn't afraid to throw a woman under the bus and his relentless references to his former wife Kim shows that he knows no bounds and can see no boundaries.
Engaging countless battles in his career ranging from Everlast to Cage to Ja Rule to Jermaine Durpi, the white rapper has earned his stripes in the battlefield. Good luck.
“I remember the first time we met, I ain't even like you. Walking around my video set like you was in high school. It must excite you seeing Black people being tribal. That's why Dr. Dre signed you.”Canibus "Pop Killer"Read more…

Charlotte Observer Reports
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A federal jury convicted Larry Whitfield, 20, of literally scaring a woman to death while running from the cops after attempting a bank robbery.
The case involved the death of 79-year-old Mary Parnell, a retired Wachovia officer who was at home September 2008 when Whitfield tried to use her house as a safe haven.
Parnell suffered a heart attack and died. The jury Friday said Whitfield's actions in her home caused her death, though the verdict stopped short of saying he'd killed her.
Whitfield was convicted of attempting to rob the Fort Financial Credit Union in Gastonia with a friend, Quanterrious McCoy, who has already pleaded guilty to the robbery. Whitfield was also convicted on two firearms charges.
Investigators said he and McCoy were separated while running from the cops, and Whitfield was trying to change clothes to get away. They believe he entered two homes in the process.
Parnell was dead when her husband found her hours later. The jury found Whitfield not guilty of killing her, but -- in a quirky three part verdict -- voted to place the blame for her death on him. That distinction still means he'll serve a mandatory life sentence.
Parnell's large family, in court Friday, was thrilled with the verdict. They spoke exclusively to Newschannel 36.
"He committed this crime with callous indifference. My mother-in-law had a heart attack right in front of this guy, and he didn't even have the decency to call an ambulance," David Hains said. "All he cared about was himself, and he can think about that for the rest of his life in jail."
A large group was also in court to support Whitfield. His mother Pauline declined to speak with us after the verdict. Before this case, he had a clean record and had graduated Harding High School in Charlotte.Read more…

“It's amazing how when I get around n*ggas, it's all good, when I leave, n*ggas do all their secret talking.”
The second return of Harlem rapper Mase has been one that has baffled fans and artists alike as the former Bad Boy artist has changed his skin on many occasions from rapper to pastor to rapper as if he was on the fence in terms of which lifestyle he preferred to embrace.
Since his second arrival, he has squashed his beef with Cam'Ron and Jim Jones, given the ability to work with other artists through a paperwork signing with Diddy and has ultimately been gearing up to hit the music scene once again.
Most recently, the rapper dropped a mixtape with 5 different DJs titled, I Do the Impossible.
Catching up with DJ Drama last Friday on Shade 45, Betha spoke on the shady business that happened behind closed doors with particular people when he tried to come back the first time.
That's when he tried to have people “Breathe, Stretch, Shake”, but some had to just let that one go.
“Every time I get involved with somebody, I'm good. When I get out of business with everybody, I'm not good. Anytime somebody can make money with me, they big the homie up. Every time n*ggas can't get money with me, they throw their little shots at me. That lets you know. For ten 10 years, I haven't been on the scene, I don't sell cologne, I don't sell sneakers, I don't sell no video games, I don't sell music and I'm still one of the hottest topics anywhere you go.”
The rapper also spoke on his brief stint with 50 Cent and G-Unit where he was scrutinized and labeled as being fake for “ditching” his religious teachings and being engulfed by the gun and drug rap revolutionized by Mr. Jackson.
“Me and Fif spoke in 2007 I think. I think, realistically, a lot of larceny was thrown in that. People didn't really see me get a shot. Fif ain't do nothin' but take me on the road and gave me exposure and gave me the opportunity to do what I'm about to do now. I guarantee I'm about to burn it down.”
The deal was for a moment as 50 stated that Diddy wasn't willing to compromise which resulted in Mase parting with G-Unit Records.
“I think a lot of things were said when I wasn't there that swayed the deal away from happening and Fif is his own man, he made his own decision. I'm glad he made the decision he made because now this is the destiny. The destiny was for me to stand on my own and burn the joint down and give niggas that 9 months that Tupac gave them.”
Now on his own, the rapper seems to be traveling his own road and now has clarity as to which path he wants to lead in his musical career. Welcome back…again.

Dr. Dre's Monster Cable/ ‘Beats By Dre' headphones line have experienced wide stream success. The line teams together Jimmy Iovine of Interscope, Best Buy and Dr. Dre's emblem.While out promoting the innovative audio enhancers at New York City's Union Square Best Buy, Dre found himself targeted by questions off subject but exactly what everyone was wondering. In particular,an interviewer took it upon himself to ask the million dollar question, “WHEN IS HE RELEASING DETOX?!”The good doctor answered the question very vaguely saying,“The minute it's done and it feels right to me, that's when it'll come out. Hopefully in the beginning of the year.”We've all heard that one before. In other words, NEVER. SMHJust as he thought he would be asked about his latest technological advance, Dre found himself cornered once again after being presented with a question about 50 Cent and Game. When asked his opinion on their consistently brewing beef he responded,"Everything is good. Been working with both guys, everything is good. Both guys are gonna be on my record. I'm just trying to put it back where it's supposed to be, all love."Getting back to the reason for the event, Dre introduced his latest collaboration with Best Buy, and Interscope.“What we're trying to do with Beats is make sure everybody not only gets the best listening sound but the right way to listen to it.”After watching this footage it's clear that Dre's focused on getting money. Sorry for everyone waiting patiently on Detox, looks like you'll have to be content with watching him in soda commercials and promoting headphones. For now at least…..

MTV Reports
LOS ANGELES — 50 Cent is a busy man — he just released a new album, Before I Self Destruct, and film of the same name, and he's working on several other movies in various stages of development. He's also an unpredictable man — as evidenced by his double-take-inducing appearance at last week's "New Moon" premiere. So, it makes sense that the rapper/actor/mogul would show up at the American Music Awards with Val Kilmer as his "date," eager to tell everyone that he's even busier and more unpredictable than they think.
"It's exciting," he said of the 2009 AMAs, walking down the red carpet alongside a grinning Kilmer, who could best be described as being dressed like Truman Capote's evil twin. "We came out here to enjoy the festivities. Val and I are going to sit and see what's going on. Are you wondering why we're together?"
Well, yeah. And with that, 50 revealed that he had written a screenplay for a movie in which he and Kilmer are set to star.
"We're here because we've got a project that we're working on together," said 50, who took the stage later that night with Eminem. "It [starts] in December."
"It's called 'The Gun,' and it's about a gun," Kilmer added. "It's a really good title. He wrote it."
According to 50 Cent, who has written three feature-film scripts recently, the role Kilmer will be playing was transported from a different screenplay. "He's actually a character from a different project, but I got him to come out of there when he saw the value of what he was looking for."
Fitty explained that "The Gun" has a "socially conscious" theme. "It's about how a weapon goes from manufacturing to its distribution point, to being in a citizen's custody — and how it ends up in the wrong hands," he said. "We watch the actual gun travel through a few different people's hands."
"I'm a criminal," explained Kilmer, saying he gets the gun at one point. "And we're friends."
"Gun" would mark the second time 50 Cent and Kilmer have collaborated, following their recent straight-to-DVD release "Streets of Blood." And if all goes well, the rapper said, perhaps 50 will ask the veteran actor to collaborate in the medium that made him famous.
"I know [Val can sing]," grinned 50 Cent, thinking back to films like "Top Secret!" and "The Doors," in which Kilmer played Jim Morrison. "You think I don't know?
"Yeah, there's a possibility ... you could hear something from us on this next album, if I can work that into the situation," he promised. "But that's hard."
With a smile, the actor added that he'd be up for it if Fif would only ask. "I do whatever he says," Kilmer explained.

BallerStatus Reports
Turning 40 is a milestone, and to hip-hop mogul Diddy, it's one to splurge on.
The Bad Boy Entertainment boss recently threw himself a lavish 40th birthday party in New York, spending a whopping $3 million on the bash, reports Page Six.
Some of that money was spent on things like his Garden of Eden theme, which included a $30,000 orchid display, a specially installed black dance floor and black chandelier, a silver confetti drop, and a performance by Al Green.
You know when Diddy throws a party, celebs come to support. The all-star guest list included Bono, Jay-Z, Martha Stewart, Denzel Washington, Nelly, and Fabolous.
The security was tight too, so tight "Twilight" star Kellan Lutz was barely able to get into the VIP area.
All this went down at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Producer Dr. Dre has confirmed that rivals 50 Cent and Game will make cameo appearances on his often delayed album Detox.
Dre made the revelation during a press conference for his Beats by Dre headphone line at Best Buy’s Union Square location in New York on Thursday (November 19).
A reporter for RapRadar.com queried the producer on the feud between the two artists, who are affiliated with his Aftermath imprint.
“Everything is good. Both guys are gonna be on my record,” Dr. Dre revealed. “And you know, I’m just trying to put it back where it’s supposed to be, all love.”
When asked about the release date of Detox, Dr. Dre could offer no solid date.
“The minute it’s done and it feels right to me, that’s when it’ll come out. Hopefully in the beginning of the year,” Dre said.
Dre’s headphone line is a partnership with Interscope and Monster Cable and Best Buy.
Best Buy will set up custom “Club Beat” areas in 300 stores to sell the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones in addition to DJ equipment, mixers, turntables, laptops and other gear.
While the Game and 50 cent may make cameo appearances on Detox, the cold war of words between the two rappers rages on.
In a recent interview with MTV.com, 50 Cent proclaimed that he would never work with Game under any circumstances.
“I wouldn't do it,” 50 Cent told MTV.com. “I'd be on a record, on a song, on the [Detox] album, but not on that record [with Game].”
The Game replied to 50’s comments in an interview with Complex Magazine. Although he had unflattering words for his rival, Game said he would consider working with 50 Cent in the future.
“I mean, I don’t know what 50’s problem is but I’m here,” Game told Complex.com. “Whenever he wants to call me on the phone and talk about it, squash it or we can keep on going with this f**king child like antics. He can do it, I can do it and we can do it ’til we f**kin’ die, it makes me no difference, man.”
