ENTERTAINMENT STUFF

50 Cent's multi million-dollar home in Long Island, which is at the center of a dispute between the rapper and his ex-girlfriend, burned down Friday.
Just days before the suspicious fire, a heated confrontation about the home took place inside the woman's attorney's office.

50 Cent does not live there and was not present at the time of the fire but six people, including his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins, and two of her children, including 50 Cent's son, were injured. They were treated at a hospital and then released.

Leona Lewis has followed up her conquest of the U.S. music charts by dominating the online charts too - the singer's video for "Bleeding Love" has become one of the most viewed promos of all time.

The 23-year-old's hit single topped America's Billboard 100 earlier this year and her debut album Spirit also became a number one seller in the U.S.

And now Lewis' video has made its mark on video sharing website YouTube.com, scoring over 55 million hits.

The song is now ranked within the site's top 10 most viewed videos - making Lewis the only British artist to ever make it into the countdown.

Leona Lewis goes into the weekend, still holding the #1 spot on American Top 40.  You can check out the show every Saturday at Noon on 91.5 THE BEAT.

SPORTS STUFF

Mellon Arena (also known as the Igloo) in Pittsburgh will be rockin' on Saturday night, as the Pittsburgh Penguins will try to even up the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals at 2 games a piece.  The Detroit Redwings took the first two games in Motown, before the Pens edged out a 3-2 win on Wednesday.  Puck drops at 8 PM on Saturday Night.

Suddenly, there are more people on the Toronto Blue Jays bandwagon.  The team won two out of three games in Oakland and sit only 3 games out of first place going into Friday.  This weekend, the blue birds are in Anaheim to take on the Los Angeles Angels.  Go Jays Go!!

Again, for the second straight year no "Becks" in Toronto.  David Beckham will not be in the lineup for the L.A. Galaxy this weekend at BMO Field against Toronto FC.  Beckham will be playing in a friendly match for England against Trinidad & Tobago.  Sorry ladies.

Enjoy the weekend!!
