50 Cent loves music, but like everyone, he has tailored tastes.

While on the set of Tony Yayo’s video for “Haters” in Atlanta last week, 50 ran through some of his favorite songs of the moment with MTV News.

Bruce Beresford-Redman, a reality-TV producer charged with killing his wife while on a family vacation in Mexico, has been ordered back to Quintana Roo to stand trial on a count of aggravated homicide.

Monica Beresford-Redman’s battered body was found in a sewage receptacle at the Cancun hotel where she was staying with Bruce and their two kids.

Cause of death was ruled to be asphyxiation and the body also showed signs of head trauma—and her husband maintains that he had nothing to do with it.

Beresford-Redman’s attorneys have argued that Mexican authorities rushed to implicate him in the crime and hastily brought charges based on alleged motive—the suspect wanted to ditch his wife for another woman—instead of physical evidence.

Justin Bieber has sparked concern about his relationship with girlfriend Selena Gomez. The “Baby” hitmaker recently put up a cryptic message on his Twitter page which generated speculations he is not serious with the Alex Russo of “Wizards of Waverly Place”.

“I’m not sayin your the one girl, I’m just here to have fun girl,” so the 17-year-old heartthrob wrote on Wednesday, July 13 afternoon.

(NewsCore) – LOS ANGELES — Veteran TV producer Sherwood Schwartz, who created “The Brady Bunch” and “Gilligan’s Island,” died in his sleep at age 94, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Schwartz got his start in showbiz in the late 1930s as a writer for the radio versions of “The Bob Hope Show” and “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” before he moved into television.

In the sixties, he created, wrote and produced his first major hit, “Gilligan’s Island,” about a crew of shipwrecked passengers forced together on a deserted island. The comedy starring Bob Denver in role of Gilligan and actress Tina Louise, who played the sexy movie star Ginger Grant, ran for three seasons.

Schwartz’s next major hit came in 1969 with the familial comedy “The Brady Bunch” starring Florence Henderson and Robert Reed as the mother and father to their blended breed of six.
