50 Cent Makes Rap History + Funkmaster Flex's Assault Victim Revealed

Eight years after rapper 50 Cent hit the hip hop scene with his  first studio album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin," he is still making history. Read about his latest achievement plus deets on Funkmaster Flex's victim wanting privacy after having him locked up for their recent dispute...
G-Unit leader 50 Cent made history in a big way this week. His first album "Get Rich Or Die Trying" hit the 8 times platinum mark this week, 8 years after it’s release in February 2003.
GRODT is the fourth best-selling rap album off all time, behind Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP which has moved 10,341,000 copies, and The Eminem Show, that has sold 9,928,000 CD’s. GRODT follows the sucess of  Nelly’s Country Grammar which currently stands 8,489,000 copies sold.
Congrats 50! He has really proven to be a force in hip-hop. Hope his widely anticipated next album Black Magic  can live up to GRODT's success.

On Friday, we reported that New York DJ Funkmaster Flex was arrested for aggravated harasssment. The "mystery" woman that he allegedly pushed has been identified as his wife of 11-years Monica Joseph-Taylor.
Monica, a former producer for the Regis and Kelly show, told press: "We're doing okay. I would love everyone to respect the privacy of my family - for me and my children," after being asked to explain what took place at the couple's upscale Westchester home Friday evening.
According to the New York Daily News, the fight erupted at about 5 a.m. inside the couple's bedroom. It was sparked by threatening text messages Flex sent his wife Thursday night.
Funkmaster Flex was charged with three counts of criminal mischief and harassment, and released on $500 bail.  While dee-jaying Friday night in New Jersey, Flex said,
"Yes, we had words," Flex said. "Yes, there was an argument. Yes, there was a phone broken. Yes, there were police called. I love my fans, and I encourage all of them to work things out in their own marriages."
Flex is no stranger to controversy has been viewed as a bully for years. Hope the couple can work things out.

Wife Of Baller Jarius Wynn Delivers Baby Before The Superbowl + Antonio Cromartie's Baby Momma Says He's A Well-Endowed Deadbeat

The game hasn't started, but Green Bay Packers defensive end Jarius Wynn already scored a touchdown.  Early this morning, his wife delivered a healthy baby boy.  Get the deets inside plus the dirt on Jets baller Antonio Cromartie and his cheating ways...
The wife of Green Bay Packers defensive end Jarius Wynn gave birth to a healthy baby boy this morning at a local Texas hospital.  Jarius, the Packers 2009 sixth-round draft pick out of Georgia, was re-signed by the Packers after defensive end Justin Harrell was injured during the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. 
Congrats to the Wynn family and good luck tonight Jarius!

In other sports news...

The ex-fiance of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who has nine kids with eight women in six states, is getting aired out in a damning memoir about their rocky relationship.
Although Rhonda Patterson says Antonio is well-endowed and the best sex she has ever had, he also dumped her days before their $200,000 wedding and left her to give birth to his sixth child alone.
The book is called Love, Intercepted: A Tale of Football, Falling and Failing in Love and Rhonda is so steamed she never even uses Antonio's name, referring to him only as "he."

"It goes nameless because the story is bigger than him. This is not a book to bash him. It's meant to help women avoid making the same mistakes I did."

Rhonda says she doesn't blame Antonio because he was raised poor by a single mom, a "less-than-ideal environment to learn how to be a man."
They met on Facebook in 2005, she says, he lacked conversational skills, but...

"I will give it to the man -- he's talented, well endowed, and . . . it was truly the best sex I'd ever had. He was one of those lovers who would caress you, stroke your hair . . . look you in the eyes and ask you to have his child. I thought his asking me to bear his child meant he loved me."

Rhonda, a corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina, says it all went downhill when she heard "rumors of more babies on the way, STDs, and secret trips."

"I came across other women's jewelry, greeting cards he'd received from other lovers, and sex paraphernalia that we had never used. I was furious."

After all of this, she still accepted his proposal.  Then she found out she was pregnant a week later.  And from there...you know how the story goes.
Antonio went on to father two more kids out of wedlock, before he married model Terricka Cason, who had his ninth.
This is too many things.

Ever wonder what Laura Winslow's bestie "Maxine" has been up to these days?  Well the "Family Matters" star went and got herself engaged....to Ricky Romance!

I just feel a Heidi & Spenceresque show coming on.  Cherie Johnson, who played on the 90's sitcom "Family Matters" as Maxine, has been dating Raz-B's mess making brother Ricky Romance.  And TMZ reports they're now engaged.  Interesting.
The two have been pitching a reality show about their upcoming wedding, pregnancy (err?), and other drama.  No one's picked it up yet.
If you want a glimpse into how their convos go, here's what Ricky had to tell her on Twitter days ago about washing his draws:

Sigh.
Here's pics of what Cherie looks like now.  She also wrote a book about her life called Around The World Twice:
