It's no surprise to learn that Kanye West is outspoken, or that his upcoming episode of VH-1 Storytellers will be full of juicy pull-quotes. But here are some details about things he said in the taping—about Radiohead (unsympathetic) and Chris Brown (sympathetic)—that were just a little too spicy for broadcast. Is there any doubt that this will be the best show ever aired on television? No.

50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, sold an unbelievable 25 million copies of his first two albums, Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003), and The Massacre (2005). His follow-up album, Curtis, was perhaps his most introspective and human album, and we're gearing up for the release this year of Before I Self Destruct, sure to continue his position atop the sales charts. In his most recent album Curtis, 50 Cent worked with some unlikely partners, including Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, and Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, but no matter who he works with, the persona and talent of 50 Cent shines through. "I wanted this record to be human," he says. "So that means displaying joy, laughter, pain, anger, aggression, and fear. I think this album is going to change how people think of me."

Perhaps you missed the nontroversy over Miley Cyrus and her friends posing for a snap in which they made the classic mistake of pulling the corners of their eyes to make themselves look, well, offensive. But Miley is sorry, you guys. Seriously!

From mileycyrus.com:

"I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD’s ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be. Peace and love, Miles"

When in doubt, talk about GOD.
