Soulja Boy and 50 Cent Fire Back at Vivica A. Fox After She Throws Major Shade on Watch What Happens Live 

Vivica A. Fox just stirred the pot big time!
Fans may have expected Sunday's Watch What Happens Live to be all about the Real Housewives of Atlanta season premiere. But once host Andy Cohen asked one of his guests about Empire, things took quite the turn.
"What were your thoughts when 50 Cent blamed the season ratings dip on ‘gay stuff?'" Andy asked Vivica.
"First of all, you know the pot called the kettle black is all I'm saying," Vivica responded. Kandi Burruss replied, "That was some tea! That was shade. That was major shade."
When Andy asked if 50 Cent could be gay, Vivica said "he's not," but not before adding, "We had a great time. He just seems like he's got something that's not quite clear." She also brought up a Vibe cover with 50 Cent and Soulja Boy that raised flags for her.

Shortly after making the statements, 50 Cent went to Instagram to set the record straight. "Oh No!!! Now she things I'm gay because I let her lick my Ass. LMAO," he wrote. "Wait, I didn't want her to, she forced me, my hands were tied. 50 Shades of Grey."
Soulja Boy added, "Everybody hit up this cougar..she's single & ready to mingle ...1-800-GrannyDesperateForAttention extension I'mWashedUp."
As for the accusations that 50 Cent doesn't completely support Empire, those rumors began back in October when the rapper shared (then deleted) a page called @industryonblast_ that said the Fox show's ratings fell because of too many celebrity cameos and "gay" plots.

Bravo

His rep later issued a statement that read, "Mr. Jackson [50 Cent] reposted something on Instagram that originated from a blog in relation to the decrease in Empire's ratings.  When he realized there was additional content in the blog post that he did not agree with, he immediately deleted the post as that is not a reflection of his views at all." Andy later clarified the Instagram message at the end of Sunday's live show.
As of now, Vivica appears to be standing by her remarks. In addition to posting several fans' supportive tweets, the actress wrote, "Boom!! That's was 4 my #EmpireSeason2 family yall!! Drops mic ;-) #WWHL."

Real Madrid's Benzema faces possible charges in sex tape case

PARIS (AP)
France and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is facing preliminary criminal charges as part of an investigation into blackmail over a sex tape involving teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
After being held overnight by police for questioning at a Versailles police station, Benzema was to be brought before a judge later Thursday, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
The judge will then decide whether Benzema should be charged or regarded as an ''assisted witness,'' which in French law means he has not been formally charged but could be in the course of the investigation.
A judicial official with direct knowledge of the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, told The Associated Press that prosecutors have asked for Benzema to be charged.

Investigators are trying to find out if the Real Madrid forward played a role in the extortion attempt targeting Valbuena, and if he actually tried to blackmail the Lyon midfielder.
Both Benzema and Valbuena play for France's national team.
Three other people have been handed preliminary charges over the case since October.
Benzema spent about 24 hours in custody in Versailles after being summoned on Wednesday morning in the city just outside Paris.
In the same case, former France international Djibril Cisse was briefly detained last month after being suspected of conspiracy to blackmail, a charge with a maximum prison sentence of five years. Cisse, who has since retired from soccer, was released without seeing a judge.
Benzema's lawyer, Sylvain Cormier, said his client contacted the judge in charge of the case as soon as his name was mentioned in the media last month to let him know he was willing to answer questions from detectives.
''He wants to put an end as soon as possible to this controversy that rose from a case he did not take part in,'' Cormier said Wednesday.
The case started earlier this year when Valbuena decided to take legal action after being contacted by a man claiming to be in possession of an incriminating sex tape.
For Benzema, it's not the first time he has faced problems off the field.
Five years ago, preliminary charges were filed against Benzema and Franck Ribery for soliciting an underage prostitute. Both players were questioned as part of a probe into a suspected network of prostitutes that operated out of a nightclub on Paris' glitzy Champs-Elysees. The case lasted three years before they were acquitted.

New update rolling out to Samsung Z3. culled from GSMarena

A few weeks after receiving its first update, the Tizen-powered Samsung Z3 smartphone - which was launched last month with 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED screen and a quad-core 1.3GHz processor- is getting another software update.
Weighing in at around 600MB, the update (which you can fetch through Samsung Smart Switch as it doesn't seem to be rolling OTA currently) doesn't bring any major changes - a few new icons have been added and there seems to be some change in the screen brightness (see the right hand portion of the image above).
For those who aren't in the know, the Z3 is the South Korean company's second smartphone running its home grown Tizen OS. The first one - dubbed Z1 - was launched back in January this year, and has been quite a success for the company. A recent report from market research firm Strategy Analytics revealed that Tizen has now overtaken BlackBerry OS to become the fourth largest mobile operating system in the world.
