LISTEN: Mayweather Gaybaits DJ and Angrily Denies He is "Sensitive"

Gay-obsessed and pretty boy boxing champ Floyd Mayweather angrily denied that he is "sensitive" in a contentious radio interview. 

Mayweather sparred with SiriusXM's Rude Jude over his potential mega-fight against Filipino boxing champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. "Why are you so sensitive?" Jude demanded. "You’re not allowed to be sensitive and duck fights. Like, either don't duck fights or don't be sensitive."

"So you ride my dick for a living?" Mayweather said. "Why are you riding my dick?"

Mayweather has repeatedly denied that he is trying avoid a fight with Pacquiao. Maybe it was just "trash talking" and "a joke" ...

Mayweather's latest remarks follow his September 2009 "gay panic" episode on Chelsea Lately, where the boxer made random conversation about watersports, cross-dressing and gay sex. Someone is obsessed around this issue, no? Watch the clip WHEN YOU JUMP ...

Gay-Bashing Rapper Ja Rule Faces Prison After Tax Evasion, Weapons

And it couldn't happen to a better person!

Grammy-nominated Rapper and actor Ja Rule—who once said MTV was "promoting homosexuality" and "f---ing up America"—plead guilty to failing to file tax returns and promised to pay more than $1 million in back taxes and penalties.

Ja Rule, whose original name is Jeffrey Atkins, 35, pleaded guilty in Newark federal court to three counts of failing to file a tax return, from 2004 through 2008, even though he was making money from royalties and live tours. U.S. federal judge Patty Shwartz set bail at $500,000 and permitted Atkins' release pending sentencing scheduled for June 13. He faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison on each count.

Ja Rule faces up to five years in prison. In December 2010, you will recall the 34-year-old rapper was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to 2007 weapons possession charge.

Jeff Weiss at the Los Angeles Times adds, "At one point in the late '90s and early 2000s, there was no more commercially viable rapper than the Murder Inc.-signed Rule. 2001's Pain is Love debuted at No. 1 and sold a reported 12 million copies worldwide. Rule was nominated for four Grammy's and even was named GQ's 2002 Man of the Year for musicians." 

In September 2007, Ja Rule launched into a profanity-laced homophobic rant against upcoming congressional hearings on violence in hip-hop and the entertainment industry. "Calling a woman a bitch or a hoe on my rap songs ... is not at issue," said the rapper, father and husband. "Lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit. ... If that's not fucking up America, I don't know what is."

Pearls of wisdom from a gun-toting father concerned about "family values" ... now headed to prison.

REPORT: Usher Donates Gadhafi Money to Amnesty International

This is major. Not only has Usher reportedly donated the substantial fee he received from Mutassim Gadhafi—the son of Col. Muammar Gadhafi and the Libyan national security adviser coordinating the bloody crackdown that has killed thousands—but he donated it to Amnesty International.

Usher said Friday he's "sincerely troubled" to learn he appeared at a concert in St. Bart's linked to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's family and plans donate his concert fee to human rights organizations. Usher did not perform but was paid to appear at the private concert featuring Beyonce in 2009.

"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009, " he said in a statement released to The Associated Press. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."

The statement said Usher made a contribution Friday to Amnesty International, which the organization confirmed. The group said Usher requested the donation amount be private.

Earlier this week, Beyonce and Nelly Furtado renounced their performances at private concerts for the Gadhafi family. The Libyan leaders are responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians in Libya, where entire cities and provinces are revolting against the dictatorship. The entertainers have promised to give their fees to charity or said they have already done so.

Gadhafi and his sons face investigation for war crimes.

And as for Mariah Carey?

Carey said she was unaware of whom she was performing for and "embarrassed." She announced she will donate royalties for the song "Save the Day," which she has written for her upcoming album, to charities that create awareness for human-rights issues.

REPORT: Beyoncé Donated Gadhafi Millions to Haiti Relief

Bravo to Team Beyonce. The pop icon reportedly donated the $2 million she received to perform for Mutassim Gadhafi—the son of Col. Muammar Gadhafi and the Libyan national security adviser coordinating the bloody crackdown that has killed thousands—to Haitian earthquake relief.

Beyonce gave the money away as soon as she learned of Mr Gaddafi's connection to the concert at a private party on the Caribbean island of St Barts on December 31, 2009, spokeswoman Yvette Noel-Schure said.

"All monies paid to Beyonce for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St Barts on New Year's Eve 2009... were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti over a year ago," she said. "Once it became known the third party promoter was linked to the (Gaddafi) family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Earlier this week, singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado tweeted she is donating the $1 million she was paid for a private concert for Libya's Gadhafi family.

Excellent decisions by Furtado and Beyoncé, who obviously do not want their brands associated with the carnage in Libya. And continued silence from Usher, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent and others who were also paid millions to entertain the blood-thirsty Libyan leader ... responsible for ordering  soldiers to spray  unarmed civilian crowds with machine guns and helicopter and bomber strikes against civilian targets, among other atrocities.

Speak now or possibly be forced to testify in a war crimes trial. The International Criminal Court in The Hague announced today that it will investigate Gadhafi, his sons, key aides for crimes against humanity.

Nelly Furtado to Donate $1 Million in Gadhafi Money to Charity

 

Bravo and much respect to Nelly Furtado, who Tweeted that she cannot keep the $1 million she was paid for a private concert for Libya's Gadhafi family. Furtado will donate the sum to charity.

Continued silence from Beyoncé, Usher, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent and others, who were paid millions to perform for Mutassim Gadhafi, the son of Col. Muammar Gadhafi and the Libyan national security adviser coordinating the bloody crackdown that has killed thousands in the past two weeks. In addition to ordering soldiers and mercenaries to spray civilian crowds with machine guns, the Gadhafis have also ordered helicopter and bomber strikes.

Those celebrities' position has become even more tenuous: The United Nations has referred Mutassim Gadhafi, his brothers and Col. Muammar Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for war crimes.

Music industry sources acknowledge most artists are "probably not" told exactly who pays for many of these extravagant private parties ... but most do not care. Metallica agent Dennis Arfa tells Rolling Stone, "Not every artist is a humanitarian. In more cases than not, for people, greed rules."

It's a good thing that Beyoncé and Usher already cashed their checks. The United States is moving warships toward Libya and has frozen $30 billion in Libyan assets. Britain has also frozen billions in Libyan assets.

Gay-Bashing Rapper Ja Rule Pleads Guilty in Weapons Case

And it couldn't happen to a better person.

Rapper and actor Ja Rule—who infamously said that MTV was "promoting homosexuality" and "f---ing up America"—pleads guilty in New York to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and faces prison time, reports AP.

The case stems from a July 2007 stop of his luxury sports car. The rapper said "this isn't a good day" and declined to discuss the case as he left a Manhattan court. Police say they found a loaded semiautomatic gun in a rear door of the $250,000-plus car after it was stopped for speeding. In court Monday, Ja Rule was promised a two-year prison sentence. He's free until sentencing, on a date yet to be set. He's due in court Feb. 9 for an update.

Ja Rule's Pain is Love was nominated for a best rap album Grammy Award in 2002. The 34-year-old rapper--born Jeffrey Atkins--also has appeared in movies, including the 2001 film "The Fast and the Furious."

In September 2007, Ja Rule launched into a profanity-laced homophobic rant against upcoming congressional hearings on violence in hip-hop and the entertainment industry. "Calling a woman a bitch or a hoe on my rap songs ...  is not at issue," said the rapper, father and husband. "Lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit. Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up America, I don't know what is." 

So says the gun-toting father concerned about "family values" ... who is now headed to prison. Charming.

PHOTOS: 50 Cent's Dramatic Weight Loss, Loses 50+ Pounds for Movie

The normally very-muscular 50 Cent is now 50+ pounds lighter and almost unrecognizable. The dramatic weight loss is for his upcoming film Falls Apart. The movie was written by the rapper and Fiddy stars as a football player stricken with cancer.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper reportedly went on a 9-week liquid diet and spent three hours a day on a treadmill to go from 214 to 160 pounds. What did he craved while on his strict diet? Chili's baby back ribs, according to US Weekly.

Fat Joe on Ricky Martin "Everybody Should Be Allowed to Be Happy"

Bronx-based rapper Fat Joe makes some surprisingly candid comments on Ricky Martin's recent coming out. "Good for him," Joe writes at his VIBE blog. "Everybody should be allowed to live happy."

"Everybody’s their own man. And if Ricky Martin felt like he had to come out of the closet and that’s what he does and that’s what he represents, then good for him. It ain’t for me to make a decision whether he should come out or whatever the case may be... It’s all about being comfortable with who you are and if you gay, fine, be gay. I’m not gay but fine, you do what you do. I’ll do what I do. I think it’s 2010 and everybody should be allowed to live happy and live their lives."

And:

"The most disgusting things that I’ve seen, and I’m not saying about being gay at all, it’s when you have artists who have a wife and live with a wife and don’t admit they have a wife and two kids and thinking that’s for the image. How do you think that makes a girl feel walking around knowing I live with this guy, I love him, I share everything with him but he never wanna say I’m his wife? So you can just imagine what Ricky Martin was going through."

Yep, there's no shortage of homophobic rappers who leave the missus at home and carry on like they're single ...

You'll recall that two years ago Joe was mocking rival 50 Cent and G Unit with his mix tape "Gay Unit Volume 1." Undoubtedly he's matured some. Or maybe Ricky's mega-popularity in Puerto Rico and New York influenced him At any rate, bravo.

Thanks ROSARIO HARPER!

Kanye-Lady Gaga Tour Canceled

Fame kills. Kanye West's much-hyped "Fame Kills" tour with Lady Gaga has been canceled.

No explanation has been given but the backlash after Kanye's meltdown at the MTV Video Music Awards and hijacking Taylor Swift's acceptance speech could be a factor.

50 Cent slammed the tour—which he called "the gay tour"—in an interview on New York's Hot 97 on Wednesday. 

Was Kanye "Swift"-Boated?
