Rick Ross has taken his on-going beef with 50 Cent and G-Unit to a new level. The Florida rapper reportedly thanked 50 in the “Thank-You” section of his group Triple C’s new album “Custom Cars & Cycles.” In the “Rick Ross Thanks” section, the rapper said he appreciated his short-lived rap beef with 50 Cent. “I have to thank all the haters who prayed this day would never come…,” Ross’ comments read. “I rebuke you!! I have to thank Curtis ‘Woodface’ Jackson…crushing you gave me the confidence I needed to take over the whole game! It’s ours now… ‘May all my enemies and foes stumble and fall’ - Psalm 27 The Biggest Boss you seen thus far. ROSSSSSS”

Oscar-winning rapper Eminem is reportedly goign to star in an upcoming 3-D horror film with an hip hop theme, according to multiple reports. There are not many details about the project (titled “The Shady Talez”) but the reports out there say Eminem will also produce the film which is set to be released next year. Described as a between The Twilight Zone and Creep Show, the movie will also be produced by DJ Classicz. Other reports say there will be a four-issue comic book series released alongside the movie. Dennis Dennehy, Eminem’s publicist, said that nothing is set in stone yet. “There’s been talks,” he said, “but [I] can’t confirm anything yet.” Anyone remember “Hip Hop Witch”? hmmm..

In related news, Eminem recently starred in last summer’s Adam Sandler slash Seth Rogan comedy/drama “Funny People.” Writer slash Director Judd Apatow dropped the first news saying “Marshall Mathers is in it. I still don’t know [how it happened.] I was scared to pitch jokes to him then I realized his songs are as nasty as anything that has ever been spoken. There is no way to offend him.”

In further “Video” news, Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” track featuring Nate Dogg was used on the trailer for the upcoming “Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ video game. The beat of song, which was on Eminem’s “The Eminem Show” album, is first used showing scenes from the game then later Eminem’s rhymes start and later Nate Dogg’s chorus is featured.

Yesterday (November 5th), 50 Cent hosted the first of 6 screenings for his “Before I Self Destruct” film, included in his upcoming album of the same name. At the AMC Kips Bay 15 Theater in New York. 50 first welcomed everyone to the event saying “I had to chance to write, produce and direct my first project…I want to thank everyone for coming out, for me this is an opportunity to show the cause and effect within the story telling process…to be able to tell the story with more depth, having an hour and half to do it, you can show a person a lifetime.”

50 did acknowledge the leak of his album (well kind of) stating “It’s easy to steal a song, it’s only 3 minutes so it probably takes 3 seconds to get it your computer but it’s hard to steal a movie.” The next “Before I Self Destruct” screening will be in Atlanta, GA on Saturday (November 7th) at Movies ATL (3760 Princeton Lakes Pkwy SW).

In related news, 50 Cent also put out yesterday (November 5th) what he calls an “official movie music video” titled “Stretch (Crime Wave Pt 2)” from his upcoming “Before I Self Destruct” album.

More footage from Rihanna’s interview with reporter Diane Sawyer on 20/20 landed online today, showing the singer discussing the highly publicized domestic dispute with Chris Brown last February. Rihanna claims that their argument started when they were driving away from a Grammy Awards party and Chris got a text message from another woman. “I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it,” the singer told Diane Sawyer. “I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly.”

Rihanna then went on to explain why getting out of Chris Brown’s car was one of the only options she had, as she didn’t know what else to do. “I was battered. I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face. There was no way of me getting home. My next option was to get out the car and start walking in a gown and a bloody face. So I really don’t know what was my plan. I didn’t have a plan,” she says. “That whole night was not part of my plan,” she adds profoundly.

Despite pleading guilty to assault after his physical confrontation with then-girlfriend Rihanna, and even being sentenced to one year of weekly therapy sessions and public service (not to mention 5 years probation), Chris Brown says he’s confused about his public perception and opinion. “I’m confused right now as far as the public perception [of me],” he says in the upcoming MTV News special “Chris Brown: The Interview,” which airs Friday, November 6, at 6 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. “Like, I think with my fans, they still love me, they support me, definitely. You have those people who will support you. So it’s kinda like 50/50 for me. I got the people that will come out and support and then the people that don’t wanna see me do anything. They basically want me in jail.”

Brown is currently trying to resurrect his career by returning to the stage last week for the first time since the incident and even putting out his first music video “I Can Transform Ya” that featured Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz. Up next for Chris is an “Fan Appreciation” tour later this month where he will perform at small venues starting in Houston and ending in New York in December.

Jay-Z covers the new issue of Gotham Magazine in which he talks about everything from balancing his life, staying grounded and what exactly music is. “Making music is art,” he continues. “It doesn’t change who you are as a person. It doesn’t mean you’re entitled or you’re above the law. You still treat people as human beings. It doesn’t change the laws of the universe. Life has a balance and for every action there is a reaction. So if you put negative energy in, negative energy comes back to you. You have to live your life within the laws of the universe and I haven’t lost sight of that.”

Jigga goes on to talk about staying grounded with everything else he has going on. “You have to be close with your foundation and the people who know you best because they’ve known you for so long that they can see the changes in you,’ he continues. “Fame is such a deadly drug that you can’t see the changes because you are so consumed by it. You need a close-knit group of friends and family to make sure you stay grounded.”

Just a day after saying that his new “The R.E.D.” album would be pushed back, Game has now officially given it a new release date all the way in 2010. “R.E.D. album’s new release is 2/16/10 If for some reason the date changes I will holla at y’all . had to push it back so that me & Dre can wrap it up the right way !!!” Game wrote on his twitter yesterday (November 4th)

Game then went on to talk about working once again with Dr Dre. “Last night at the ‘AFTERMATH HEADQUARTERS’ was Classic !,” he wrote last evening. “Me, Stat Quo & Dre got it in all night. Aftermath. Community Service is “GARBAGE” !!!” Game even gave more details on his new album writing “R.E.D. gotta track from RZA last night that was amazing….. now all i gotta do is KILL IT !!! aight. headed to the headquarters to get it in…. 1 blood ! R.E.D.”

Chris Brown has vowed to cut down on fan photos in future after a woman he posed with passed herself off as his latest girlfriend.

The R&B singer was linked to Natalie Nunn, a contestant in the upcoming season of The Bad Girls Club, after snapping photos with her at a roller-skating party last month.

The rumor mill went into overdrive after the photos surfaced online, but the Kiss Kiss hit-maker insists he and Nunn aren’t a couple.

He wrote, “What moon was this girl on when she thought of this outrageous lie. She on TMZ (celebrity website) tryna (trying to) make a name for herself. I don’t know you. I took a picture with this girl at a skate party and she ran with the story. I gotta (sic) limit who I take photos wit (sic) now… Some people have motives that aren’t positive.”

Chris Brown’s album “Graffiti” is now set to be released on December 8. The debut single “I Can Transform Ya” is Top 10 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop urban mainstream and rhythm radio airplay charts, and the “I Can Transform Ya” video is # 1 on the iTunes music videos chart this week and is in heavy rotation on MTV and MTV Jams.

The “Graffiti” release, originally scheduled for a Dec. 15 drop, comes on the heels of Brown’s upcoming “Fan Appreciation Tour” which begins November 14 in Houston, Texas.

Brown was sentenced in August to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling after he pleaded guilty to felony assault in the attack on Rihanna. Rihanna will tell all about her beating at the hands her ex-boyfriend on “Good Morning America” on Thursday and again in TV special “20/20″ on Friday night.

Not much is known about Eminem’s upcoming “Relapse 2″ album but a producer on the album (and fellow D12 member) Mr Porter recently talked about the much anticipated album. Saying this is the “first time I’m producing songs for Em under me without D12 [since Infinite]. That’s big for me,” Porter says one of the songs they did together is “as if we were back in the day.” Many of Eminem’s critics who say his early work was better than his new stuff, will be happy to know “everyday the kid is writing. I don’t know if Jay-Z is writing all day. He owns multi-million dollar businesses. Em writes all day,” he said before adding “I’m fighting, because Just Blaze came in and kicked ass.”

Just Blaze, who has been very quiet about his work with Eminem, kept details out of it when he said “It’s a challenge for both of us in the sense we’ve never worked with each other before. We’ve both been in the business 10 plus years.” He continued “We’re both very self-contained. He has his own production compound, and I have my situation with Bassline Studios in New York. Sometimes I’m like I need this [song] back in New York and he’s like I need it back in Detroit. It’s interesting because we’re both protective of the work and not wanting it to leak out. I’m in the same boat, because we both would lose money. Creatively it’s a good process. When it goes beyond a business arrangement, it always works out. I’ve had cases where people just want a beat because you’re Just Blaze. But here we are 2 people that are fans of each other’s work.”
