50 Cent must pay $5M to woman who sued over sex tapehttp://a57.foxnews.com/global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/img/U.S./876/493/50CENT712.jpg?ve=1&tl=1

Someone else's sex tape is proving to be costly for 50 Cent: A jury ordered the rapper-actor Friday to pay $5 million to a woman who said he acquired a video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission.

And the Manhattan jurors are set to continue deliberating next week on possible further, punitive damages in Lastonia Leviston's invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against the multiplatinum-selling "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" artist.

Attorney William A. Brewer III says 50 Cent and his legal team are "disappointed in the verdict but very appreciative of the service of the jury and the court." Leviston's lawyer, Philip Freidin, declined to comment on the award, first reported by the Daily News of New York.

The lawsuit stems from a 13-minute video that appeared online in 2009 featuring a wig-wearing 50 Cent as a narrator dubbed Pimpin' Curly. The character made explicit remarks about Leviston and taunted rap rival Rick Ross, who wasn't in the video but has a daughter with Leviston. At the time the video surfaced, Ross and 50 Cent were trading barbs via video, lyrics and interviews.

50 Cent got the 2008 tape from the man in it, Leviston's boyfriend at the time. The rapper and his lawyers said that 50 Cent didn't actually post the video but that Leviston's then-boyfriend said she wouldn't mind if he did, and he thought that would suffice.

The Pimpin' Curly character was just "joking" by referring to Leviston as a "porn star," 50 Cent said during sworn pre-trial questioning that was played for the jury, according to news reports. He didn't testify at the trial.

But Leviston, of Pembroke Pines, Florida, said she was horrified and humiliated when the video appeared online.

"This was something done to me. I didn't have a choice. I would never, ever do this to myself," she testified, according to news reports.

Born Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent burst to the fore of gangsta rap with 2003's "Get Rich or Die Tryin,'" its lead single, "In Da Club," and a tough life story that included being shot nine times.

Now 40, he's also a businessman — his interests have ranged from mining to water drinks — and an actor whose credits include the Starz network action series "Power" and the upcoming boxing movie "Southpaw."

Miss USA contestants take stage in 64th annual pageant

BATON ROUGE, La. –  Women from across the country Sunday took the stage to vie for the title of Miss USA in a decades-old beauty pageant of dazzling dresses and sexy swimsuits that has been dogged this year by comments made by Donald Trump bashing Mexican immigrants.

The pageant co-owned by Trump is taking place Sunday evening in Baton Rouge for the second year in a row.

Singers Travis Garland and former American Idol finalist Stefano Langone started off the show with three songs "Born on the Bayou," ''She's a Bad Mama Jama" and "American Woman" as the contestants strutted onto the stage and introduced themselves and their states.

Then they announced the fifteen women who will go on to the next round of the pageant. The women represent Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Virginia, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Hawaii, New York, Illinois, Nevada, Oklahoma, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland and Alabama.

In video segments played along with the show, the women described their lives back home and the causes they hope to promote if named Miss USA.

Anea Garcia from Rhode Island told viewers how she was homeless at times while growing up after her grandmother — who had raised her — lost her job.

Pageant organizers also showed a video segment of various contestants discussing their immigrant ties including a contestant whose parents emigrated from Vietnam.

Trump's comments critical of Mexican immigrants during his presidential campaign announcement sparked a backlash against the business tycoon's empire, including the Miss Universe organization that includes the Miss USA pageant.

In his June announcement, Trump said that some Mexican immigrants to the U.S. bring drugs and crime, and that some are rapists.

Broadcasters NBC and Spanish-language broadcaster Univision said they would not show the contest. Judges and performers pulled out.

Organizers scrambled to find replacements as the pageant was approaching.

Reelz television stepped in to air the contest, saying that the pageant and the women who compete in it "are an integral part of American tradition." The station also said Trump would not profit from the deal.

The contest found replacement hosts and is bringing back a slew of former winners from Miss USA and Miss Universe as judges.

They've also highlighted the diversity among the contestants, including those of Hispanic descent.

Paula Shugart, who heads the Miss Universe Organization, thanked the chief executive of Reelz and the returning pageant winners for stepping in to help.

"I love you all. You are the only reason we exist," she said to the women during a news conference Sunday.

Shugart said the challenges of the past few weeks will make for great practice for whichever woman is crowned Miss USA, providing a lesson on how to stay focused: "You have to forget everything going on around you."

When asked if the relationship between the pageant and Reelz would last beyond Sunday night, Stan Hubbard said the agreement was for one night only.

The judges talked about their love of the organization and said they know first-hand what the women are feeling.

"I feel pressure," said Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih. She said she considers it a very important job to pick the next woman who will "carry the torch."

Contestants are judged in three categories: evening gown, swimsuit and a personality interview.

The 51 women represent every state and the District of Columbia.

Natasha Martinez who represents California said during an interview with The Associated Press earlier this week that she didn't think Trump's comments have overshadowed the contest but it has provided an opportunity for her and others to show what they're doing.

"You know, this isn't about how big your hair is on stage or how good you look in a bikini. It's an opportunity for these girls to be advocates for what they're passionate about," said Martinez, who does breast cancer advocacy.

Carrie Underwood forced to break car window after son locked in vehicle

Carrie Underwood had to break into her car in the Tennessee heat to rescue her 4-month-old son who was accidentally locked inside, according to People.

The country star told fans Saturday she had to smash a window to get in after her dogs locked themselves in the car with her baby, Isaiah.

The magazine said the singer tweeted about it afterward.

"When your dogs manage to lock themselves, all your stuff & the baby in the car & you have to break a window to get in," she wrote. " #WhatAreTheChances."

Underwood became a first-time mom in February when she and her husband, NHL player Mike Fisher, welcomed Isaiah. On July 10, the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary.

Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' includes fans, friends and US women’s soccer team

Taylor Swift did not fail to impress Friday night in East Rutherford, NJ, as she performed for a sold out crowd of 60,000 at the Met Life Stadium.  

Swift made it clear from the beginning of the show, that it was all about the fans. You could tell from the energy of the crowd of “swifties” (the self given name of her loyal fans), that the feeling was mutual. Swift clearly adores her fans, and they her, but last night was about more than that -- it was about the music of it all. 

Swift spoke after most of her songs about how music was the catalyst to her developing a strong sense of self-worth and understanding for the world around her, and credited the art to who she is today. That is clear if you’ve ever heard one of her songs or seen one of her shows. 

This show was “unlike any other that will ever be” said Swift, and she was right. Swift kept surprising fans left and right throughout the night, starting with bringing out Abel Tesfaye of “The Weeknd” to perform his hit song “Can’t Feel My Face.” 

Swift then brought out supermodel Heidi Klum and the US women’s soccer team during “Style.” The entire team danced, walked, and sang along to the lyrics on stage, and waved 2 large American flags and even let Swift hold their new FIFA World Cup trophy. 

Swift then celebrated her best friends by inviting 4 of them onto the stage (Lena Dunham, Lily Aldridge, Hailee Steinfeld and Gigi Hadid) during “Bad Blood” and had a major girl power moment as they walked the catwalk together. The entire night felt like a big hug from Swift to her friends and fans.  

Swift performed a total of 18 songs (list below), and had 3 opening acts: Shawn Mendes, Vance Joy, and HAIM.
