• Honesty is always refreshing -- even when it's not exactly a revelation. Case in point, Dancing With the Stars vet Lisa Rinna confesses she might've gone a teensy bit overboard in the plastic surgery department. Awww, maybe just a smidge, dear. (Usmagazine.com)

• Rapper 50 Cent throws a silly temper tantrum over placing 8th on a Top Ten MC list that no one cares about, anyway. (Buzzworthy)

• Forget what you read in the New York Daily News: Former Simple Life-er Nicole Richie currently has zero plans to guest star on the CW's Gossip Girl. (E! Online)

• Apparently, nobody watches Scrubs anymore except us. (Sniff!) Despite a catchy steak-inspired musical number (and Monica from Friends!), the sitcom was the Biggest Loser in last night's ratings. (E! Online)

• And speaking of Biggest Loser, last season's winner, Michelle Aguilar, is engaged! Apparently, her boyfriend of 4 months popped the questions just days after the newer, 110-pounds-thinner Michelle took home the $250K prize. Ah, true love... (Usmagazine.com)

After last week's non-elimination, everyone on 50 Cent: The Money and the Power is beginning to feel the pressure. And while some are ready to step up their game, others are too caught up in the drama (i.e. Musso vs. Ryan, Part II, Larry vs. Everyone) to stay focused. Check out these scenes from this week's episode and find out who's cool under pressure -- and who's about ready to self-destruct.

50 Cent is a man of many talents. But apparently, the subtle art of flirting isn't one of them. So how does the rapper extraordinaire work his magic with the ladies? With brazen one-liners and sexual innuendos, of course! After the jump, find out Fiddy's go-to pickup line! (Hint: It's the eleven little words EVERY female secretly wants to hear.)

According to Metro UK, the Money and the Power star spied a comely female reporter at Spike TV's 2008 Video Game Awards this weekend and charmed her with this little gem:

In case you missed the memo (and FYI, there wasn't one) Fiddy's new show, 50 Cent: The Money and the Power has officially moved to Friday nights. So don't forget to tune in tonight (and by "tonight" we actually mean "very early tomorrow") at 1am ET/PT to find out what's going down this week on Camp Curtis. TGIF, y'all!

Earlier this year, rising gas prices reportedly forced Bad Boy chairman Sean "Diddy" Combs to give up his private jet and fly commercial.* And while things are looking up for the Making the Band 4 creator (Huge economic recession = plummeting oil prices! Hurrah!) now rapper 50 Cent is feelin' the burn.

Well, not him personally but some peeps he (sorta) knows -- you.

Fiddy’s new reality show, 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, airs Thursdays at 10pm, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, I’ll be sifting through the ‘50 Cent Dailies‘ to make sure you’re getting your fill of the rapper-turned-mogul. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)

Slate.com's founding editor Michael Kinsley once described former VP Al Gore as "an old person's idea of a young person." And perhaps that poignant observation is exactly what Musso had in mind when he ripped on Ryan's attire by saying "You dress like a preppy white boy dressed like a black man."

Regardless of Musso's intentions, however (or his possible affinity for political news writing), his unsolicited fashion advice seems to have succeeded only in earning him a new enemy in the house. So check out this 50 Cent Daily, and tune in tonight (Yes, after Turkey Day) for an all-new episode of The Money and the Power.

(Hey, guess that must be an MTV programming exec's idea of an MTV viewer's idea of a dream Thanksgiving!)

With Precious gone, we figured that maybe, just maybe, we'd be able to enjoy a day or so without a crazy, nonsensical screaming match. Unfortunately, we figured wrong. Watch Cornbreadd and DaJuan go from throwing insults to (nearly) throwing punches in this day-old daily and then give their roomies -- and, um, the giant security dudes -- props for preventing a full-scale smackdown. (Update: Precious is still there! That TOTALLY explains it!!)

There've been a lot of tense moments so far this season on 50 Cent: The Money and the Power. And between watching Precious yell at Nikki (and Nima...and Cornbreadd...and, well, just about everyone) and listening to Jenn and Musso argue like an old (dysfunctional) married couple, we were about thisclose to a full-scale meltdown.

And just when we were about to give up all hope (Can't they all just get along??) we stumbled across this lighthearted freestyle rap competition between Mehgan and the boys. Check out this uncharacteristic show of group camaraderie (and impromptu rap skillz!) then tune in tonight at 10 p.m. to watch tempers flare again...Ah, back to reality!

Halfway through Episode 1, we learned that Precious had a bit of a temper/anger management/volume control problem. But we've never seen anything like this before. Watch her erupt (and lash out at Larry and Cornbreadd) in this sneak peek from tonight's all-new 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, then tune in later to find out how it all plays out. And remember: The "Mute" button is your friend.

Apparently, Ryan's none too fond of Cornbreadd's self-promotional t-shirt fetish. So while Musso and Jenn continue to go at it (Jeez, guys, get a room!) Ry lightens the the tension by calling out Cornbreadd's wacked-out gear. The way we see it? Ryan raises a fair point. Even if his idea of the perfect shirt does involve showing off his bare chest...
