50 Cent Splashes Out On A Car For Val Kilmer

He's not letting his recent arsenic problems bother him, alright. 50 Cent is having plenty of fun on the set of his latest film, Streets of Blood, and bonding over a common love of flashy rides with Val Kilmer.

In fact, the generosity of the rapper knows no bounds. He has even given Val the keys to a 1965 vintage Chevy, which he just happened to have in his collection of cars. The car reportedly costs £50,000!

Don't we all wish we were friends with 50 Cent too?

Ne-Yo Sentenced For Driving Without A License

Ne-Yo, real name: Shaffer Smith, has been sentenced to 24 hours of community service after he was caught for speeding and driving without a license. Apparently, he was driving 50 miles above the speed limit in his Ranger Rover.

For his sentence, Ne-yo will be performing with a community youth group called Boys and Girls' Club. He will also have to pay a mere fine of £500 and go for a defensive driving class.

We can only hope that Ne-yo's learnt his lesson!


John Mayer Slams Guitar Hero Fans!

John Mayer has slammed fans of the computer game, Guitar Hero, claiming that the game makes it easy for untalented people to pretend they are good at playing the instrument.

The singer says that there is nothing better than the experience of playing the guitar for real, and that more effort has to be put in than playing on the computer.

"Guitar Hero was devised to bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it. I mean, what would you rather drive, a Ferrari or one of those amusement-park cars on a track?", he tells Rolling Stone

John Mayer may be good at the guitar, but it doesn't mean he gets to slam gamers does it?
