Rihanna -- Chris Brown Jokes Are Funny

Posted May 5th 2009 1:22PM by TMZ Staff

Rihanna & Jay-Z have a similar sense of humor -- because last night in NY we asked RiRi the same question Jigga cracked up at a few nights back: Is Chris Brown responsible for the Swine Flu pandemic?

We're 99.8% sure it's her you hear chuckling after.

Also hilarious: Her outfit.

Who Fired 50 Cent's Baby Mama?

Posted May 30th 2008 9:48AM by TMZ Staff

A raging inferno broke out at a house owned by 50 Cent early this morning, and the local fire department tells us the fire is "highly suspicious".

The fire broke out at the six bedroom, five bath house in Dix Hills, NY around 5:00 AM. Six people, including the rapper's ex Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise, were in the house. They all were transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

The Chief of the Dix Hills Fire Department tells TMZ that dogs are currently searching the burned out rubble, as the intensity of the fire made it highly suspect. The Chief says they're searching for what substance possibly could have been used as an igniter.

The house has been the subject of a bitter dispute between Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and Tompkins. The rapper reportedly bought the home -- one of the biggest cribs in the area -- for a cool $2.4 mil in January 2007. Last month he tried to evict Tompkins and Marquise from the house, demanding she pay him $4,500 a month in rent.

Story developing ...

UPDATE 10:25 AM ET: Suffolk Police tell us they received a call at 5 AM. An off-duty police officer was driving by and stopped to help rescue the victims inside the house -- including a pet guinea pig. We're told injuries to all six victims -- including Tompkins -- are non-life threatening and they have been treated and released from the hospital. While they are currently investigating the fire's cause, we're told 50 Cent is not a suspect at this point.

Did Britney Blow Chunks?

Posted Feb 12th 2007 1:16PM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears had one helluva wild weekend in NYC , but Saturday night's vomitfest could be the topper.

Brit started her weekend in high gear by showing up at club Tenjune at midnight Saturday and partied until 3:30 AM -- but the excitement came after she left. After Spears was ushered from her SUV to her hotel, the waiting crowd noticed that Brit's ride was covered with puke!

Her lost weekend didn't end there. Brit was also seen heading into Club One, sporting a hoochie mama red dress, and once again being shielded from photogs.

Posted Jun 12th 2006 2:54PM by TMZ Staff

It was a star studded night in NY as our cameras were on hand at LA Reid's 50th birthday party. The music mogul showed up amongst many friends, fans and family.

Mariah Carey arrived, doing things in her trademark diva fashion. The singer, who arrived right before the party started, began giving strict orders on the carpet to the media, telling them how to take pictures of her and to wait until she looked their way before they snapped their shots.

Other stars on hand included Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Diddy and hip hop pioneer Jay-Z.

All this and more in this birthday edition of Star Catcher NY.
