Rapper 50 Cent denies kicking ex
Rapper 50 Cent denies allegations he attacked his ex-girlfriend and trashed her condo.
The “In da Club” singer’s lawyer says there’s no warrant outstanding on the domestic violence and vandalism charges against 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson. If convicted, he faces up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines. His arraignment is July 22.
The woman told police that during a June 23 argument, Jackson began destroying property at her Toluca Lake condo before she locked herself into a bedroom. She says he kicked open the bedroom door and kicked her, causing injury. Police estimated about $7,100 in damage to the home.
The woman told police she had been in a three-year relationship and has a baby with Jackson.
Indian actor announces baby
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has confirmed that he’s the father of a new baby. There’s been much speculation in Indian media over the last few weeks that Khan and his wife became parents to a baby boy via a surrogate and that they knew the baby’s gender ahead of the birth — an act that is illegal in India to prevent the practice of aborting female fetuses.
Khan did not mention the baby’s gender, but said he wanted government officials who are investigating whether he knew the baby’s gender before the birth, to work with the same “alacrity in finding out and doing the enthusiastic investigation they are doing upon my baby upon other things which they should be lending their thoughts to right now.”
The 47-year-old actor is busy promoting his film, “Chennai Express,” which is to be released in August.
Shakira ex’s plea rejected
A judge in Geneva has rejected an application from Shakira’s exboyfriend seeking rights to one of her bank accounts.
Antonio de La Rua claims he should have access to one of Shakira’s accounts because it holds most of the assets from their business partnership.
In documents dated June 17, the judge said Shakira is the sole owner of the account.
De La Rua has been waging an international fight against the Colombian singer, saying he shaped the “Shakira brand.” He has filed lawsuits in New York and Los Angeles.
De La Rua is the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua. He dated Shakira, for more than a decade and worked on some of her business deals.
