Kanye has shot down 50 Cent's live "presidential style" debate! West turn down the idea of a debate last night during a special edition of MTV's TRL, which also served as the platform to announce the nominees 2007 MTV Video Music Awards taking place in Las Vegas on September 9.

"I don't have beef with anyone," West said. "What am I going to debate about? I’m going to go in the studio and make music. When I heard the thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing...When my album drops and 50's album drops, you're gonna get a lot of good music at the same time,"




Well make sure to tune into Larry King Live tonight. Mel B plans to air Eddie Murphy out on live TV! The Spice Girl will talk about her ongoing paternity battle with Norbit.
Mel's pitbull attorney, Gloria Allred, is expected to appear on the telecast as well. The interview will air live during the first half of the program. Larry King Live airs at 9 p.m. EST on CNN.

ON DIDDY:
“I’d been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Mr. Combs for about 10 years, and it came to a point where it was time for me to move on with my life. I had invested a lot of time in that relationship, and it wasn’t going where it should have been going. So it was time to [end it]. In a relationship, it’s important that the people are on the same page at the same time. And we weren’t on the same page.” ON HIS ALLEGED CHEATING:
“I will never sit here and say that Puffy — or any man — is 100 percent faithful. I just don’t believe it. Some of you are, but I’m not going to sit here and say that I didn’t believe that he cheated on me. I would never say that. I’m aware that he’s cheated.” AND ON J.LO’S RELATIONSHIP WITH DIDDY:
“It was an embarrassment. I never thought it was real. I knew what was going on with him. Despite what you see in print and when the cameras are flashing, what’s going on in someone’s heart may be totally different. He was still [in love] with me. I never looked at their relationship [serious].” When asked if Sienna Miller played a part in her break up, Porter states:
“They’re just friends. That wasn’t the cause.”

“I would like to offer my congratulations to Barry Bonds on becoming baseball’s career home runleader,” he said. “It is a great accomplishment which required skill, longevity and determination.
“Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years. I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historic achievement.
“My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others too."

Kanye West: I wanted to come and interview you on some fashion shit because you got the crown, you killin’ shit. What do you think of the whole all-over-print hoodie craze?
T.I.: I think when properly applied, it’s effective, but you got to do it in moderation. Anything where there’s too much logo and too much of a pattern, too overly done, it can be over saturated. If you do one, it better be the best one out.
Kanye West: What designers do you fuck with?
T.I.: I’m classic American - Purple Label, Brooks Brothers. If I really want to step out, I do some Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, of course, Gucci. Ferragamo do their thing…It depends on my mood.
Kanye West: Do you believe in wearing sandals on vacation?
T.I.: I wear flip-flops with socks all the time. That’s my airport apparel: Louis flip-flops, fresh pair of socks, and sweatpants. I don’t oppose sandals on vacation, I just do it my way.
Kanye West: I love gray. I kill the gray American Apparel T-shirt. I wear that more than a white tee now.
T.I.: White tees are one thing but that natural gray, that’s another nice color.

Scratch: What's going on with the Fugees reunion, or lack there of?
WYCLEF: I'm officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now. If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back you can't break the format. Don't come back and be like, I wanna produce a beat. That's like me saying I wanna sing an R&B vocal. When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], You need to do this like this. [And] she says, How do you know what's relevant? I haven't heard anything from you in the past like three, four years? The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working.

Scratch: So what's ultimately holding you guys back?
WYCLEF: Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don't come telling us how to chop up beats so you can get credit for it.

Scratch: What makes you think she would take the credit?
WYCLEF: We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record How High. John Legend was saying our names.You know what she had [him] do? She was like, Take off Wyclef and Jerry's names. Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beats. She's a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she's great at picking out samples she got 20 billion samples but can't chop em up to save her life.

Scratch: So she hasn't made any of the beats she got credit for?
WYCLEF: It's real simple”if you did the beats, where are the beats? Show us one beat that you did. If you bring Clef to the studio, put an MP, put an SP, put a bunch of stuff, bring a bunch of cameras [and] say, Clef, do a beat in two minutes. The beat is done! Bring Lauryn Hill in the studio with the same camera, say we give you three hours. Matter fact, fuck it, we'll give you a month do a beat. She can't put it together!
