For The Record: 50 Cent, Panic At The Disco, D’Angelo & More

· We kind of thought Taco Bell’s name-change offer for 50 Cent was a joke, but apparently the rapper didn’t think it was so funny. He’s mad … that his team didn’t get a chance to review the offer before the taco chain went public, and he’s now considering litigation. That’s … gangsta?

· In other 50 Cent litigation news, the rapper plans to file a defamation suit against his 11-year-old son’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, for claiming that he was behind the mysterious fire that burned down the $4 million home she was living in.

· Panic at the Disco, Lupe Fiasco, Wyclef Jean, Death Cab for Cutie and Erykah Badu have joined the list of performers for this year’s Voodoo Experience in New Orleans.

· After several years of minor activity and major drama, D’Angelo is finally at work on his first album since 2000. He’s already collaborated with Raphael Saadiq and plans to hook up with John Mayer soon.

· OK, so Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme may have gone a bit off the rails last week when he verbally lashed a fan for pelting him with a shoe. But if this is his apology, whoa, we’d hate to see him in confession!
