IN TODAY'S 'THIS NIGGAH, HERE!' EDITION: THE BIG GREAT APE A.K.A. 50 CENT, SAYS HE'S TOO FAMOUS TO DATE A 'NORMAL' PERSON.

I mean really, Magilla! For someone whose teeth resemble a row of white garage doors, he sure does bust his chops and flap those gorilla gums alot. Yeah, I said it!

Rapper 50 Cent blames his bachelor status on his celebrity status - because his fame makes it impossible to date a "normal" person. The hip-hop star has been linked to a string of beauties in the past, and was recently rumored to be dating Crunk&B star Ciara. But he admits his hectic lifestyle makes it difficult to have a proper relationship. He says, "I have a lot going on and it's tough. Let's say that I'd commit to someone who is 'normal' and has a 'normal' lifestyle. But I think they would feel neglected on some levels."

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn-bred rapper has said he will not go through with his threat to retire from rapping and/or the music industry after his Curtis album was outsold by Kanye West's latest album, Graduation. The In Da Club star promised he would 'no longer write music' and step down as rapper if West's Graduation beat his Curtis disc to the top of the Billboard charts -which it did in September (07).

But 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - has reneged on his promise to retire, and instead has vowed to continue battling for chart dominance, claiming it is 'impossible' for rappers to quit. He says, "I don't know if it's possible for a rapper to retire, rappers are like fighters. They condition themselves to be the best. All rappers think they are the best. And they are just waiting for everyone else to recognize they are the best. You'll see them come back and come back."

Yeah, yeah, niggah, whatever.

RIHANNA'S REVEALING DRESS CAUSES UPROAR AT FAMILY MEMBER'S WEDDING.

I know some of you may probably remember these pics of Rihanna I posted about a month ago? The dress she chose to wear wasn't too revealing...well, at least to me it wasn't. However, when Rih-Rih decided to don the full length, royal blue gown (with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels, of course!)at her cousin Nigel Alstrom's wedding in their homeland of Barbados late last month, a couple of her conservative family members and several guests weren't too pleased. They must've been looking at ol girl really hard because one family member who disapproved of the singer's dress claimed it was 'too revealing' and appeared as if Rihanna wore 'nothing underneath it.' Side views (as you can tell from the pics posted) of the singer gave prudish wedding guests a clear sight of the star's breasts. Another appalled family member said, "She should have been more low-key, dressed appropriately. She had words with her aunt and mother, and she was asked to leave." Rihanna, 19, recently revealed she could never even wear a bikini in a video or photoshoot - because family members would be outraged.

Ummm, what? Huh? So, it's okay to wear a bikini to the beach when you're out funning and sunning with those same relatives--even when you all are well aware that the paparazzi is following you--but yet and still you'd never wear one in a video or a photoshoot?
