50 Cent has vowed to quit music if Kanye West outsells him. The two hip-hop stars new albums - 50's 'Curtis' and West's 'Graduation - are both released on September 11 and 50 is so confident he will win the sales war he is willing to gamble his future.

50 Cent said: "Let's raise the stakes."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son Maddox celebrated his birthday with a two-day, boys-only party at the weekend.

The birthday boy - who turned six on Sunday - was joined by a group of young friends for a military-themed party in the garden of Brad and Angelina's oceanfront home in Santa Barbara, California.

Kanye West and 50 Cent are going to put their bling where their mouth is.

The two rappers are about to go to war on the charts when they both release their albums on the same day, September 11.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can be licked for 50 cents thanks to a new Australian postage stamp of the couple.

A picture of the 'Mr and Mrs Smith' co-stars and their youngest daughter Shiloh - which featured on the front cover of A New Idea magazine shortly after Shiloh's birth last year - has been made into a stamp.

50 Cent demands $500,000 to perform at a private party. The hip-hop star was paid the enormous fee for just 30 minutes work the last time he rapped at a private bash, to celebrate a Jewish boy reaching the age of maturity.

50 insists he isn't prepared to appear for anything less than the staggering fee.

50 cent is dating R'n'B singer Ciara, it has been claimed. The 32-year-old rapper and the 21-year-old singer enjoyed a romantic meal at Los Angeles' Brentwood Restaurant and Lounge.

The 'She Wants It' rapper and Ciara canoodled in a booth, while 50's 10-strong entourage sat at a large table opposite.
