When an artist competes with Jay Z, most times it doesn't end well for the other guy, but 50 Cent explains his competition with Hov is necessary.

"You need someone to work off; everybody does, wherever you're at. It doesn't always have to be negative. I'm happy where I'm at, so why wouldn't I be happy where he is," Fif said on Monday night when he took part in a special town hall-style interview that aired on SIRIUS XM's Shade 45.

During the hour-long sit-down, Fif referenced Hov on two different occasions. First he reflected on Jigga's initial retirement from rap after 2003's The Black Album, something 50 insinuates he had a little something to do with.

"You gotta say, 'Where was Jay Z from 2003 to 2006?' I sold 23 million records between 2003 and 2006. He stopped making music and said I'm gonna go be the president of a record [company]. Like I quit," the G-Unit CEO said, while fielding fan questions and playing new tracks from Animal Ambition, out June 3.

Fif then pointed to the success that Jay's wife Beyoncé experienced, and grouped her individual success as a win for the couple. "When he signed the Beyoncé contract and was like, 'Yeah men lie, women lie, numbers don't.' That sh-- is a tough one to beat," 50 said before laughing and singing the infamous "uh-oh" portion of Bey and Jay's 2003 single "Crazy in Love."

"I can't really get with it. When she start doin' that I was like 'God damn, he done went and got breasts,''' ...

The Kardashians are taking over Thailand.

The reality TV stars have taken their annual family trip and instead of making us wait until it airs on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," they have been posting numerous selfies and family-bonding shots all over their Instagram feeds, making us all just a little ... well, very ... jealous.

The Kardashian/Jenner crew have been soaking up the sun in Thailand as they hit the beach, visit historic spots and even manage to squeeze in some time to ride elephants.

Vogue's latest cover star Kim Kardashian, sans fiancé Kanye West, has done her fair share of sightseeing and managed to post some serious bikini shots. With the Southeast Asian country's beautiful water in the background, Kim shows off her curves on a photo shoot that takes place on a boat ride around the Thai isles. I mean, don't we all do that?

Khloe got in on the action as well, showing off her best sexy sailor and taking several snapshots as she spent some quality time with her half-sisters Kendall and Kylie.

Take a look at the nine photos from the Kardashians' latest adventure and try your best to keep your envy at bay. Just think, summer is right around the corner!

So long, Shia! With Mr. LaBeouf apparently making a break with Hollywood, it'll be Scott Caan who rocks the kasbah in an upcoming indie flick.

According to Variety, the "Hawaii Five-0" star has stepped in on very short notice to play a conman in comedy "Rock the Kasbah."

The role was left vacant when LaBeouf, who had been attached to the film amidst a plagiarism scandal and public meltdown, departed suddenly from the production.

The movie stars Bill Murray and boasts an A-list cast including Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride and Zooey Deschanel. Murray will play a has-been music producer who finds himself stranded in Afghanistan, only to encounter a young, undiscovered musical talent who could be his big comeback project. Shooting is set to begin this summer.

For Caan, this won't be his first foray into playing a slick, sleazy con artist. A veteran of the "Oceans Eleven" franchise, he's been pulling off heists, scams and swindles onscreen since 2001 — although lately, he's best known for being on the right side of the law as a proud member of Hawaii's best small-screen police force.

Meanwhile, LaBeouf's exit from "Rock the Kasbah" leaves him with zero upcoming projects in Hollywood, with the exception of the already-completed WWII film "Fury."

It remains to be seen whether he'll show up in November to promote that movie's release, but with nothing on his schedule and no statement forthcoming from the actor, this might actually be Shia making good on his promise to retire completely from public life.

And that, kids, is how I set the internet on fire.

Last night, the long-awaited series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" was met by fans of the nine-year saga with great fanfare and anticipation.

For those not in the know, a brief and spoilery synopsis: The show's titular and mysterious Mother is revealed to be a) the bass player from Barney and Robin's wedding band, b) the co-owner of the show's ubiquitous and indestructible yellow umbrella, and c) dead for six years as of Ted's 2030 retelling of their "how we met" story.

That last piece of the puzzle, heartbreaking though it was for many, also left Ted free at the end of the series to finally realize his love for Robin — who was divorced from Barney within three years of their ill-conceived nuptials, the better to fulfill her destiny as a freewheeling, internationally-traveling reporter and owner of five dogs.

Barney, in the meantime, fathered a child with the 31st woman he slept with during a month-long sex bender; Lily and Marshall, still happily married, have three kids and a new, bigger place.

And with that, the show ended its nine-year run — and fans immediately turned to twitter to express their excitement, their disappointment, and in many cases, their outrage.

It must be said, first and foremost, that not everyone hated the finale.

But most fans were disgruntled, either by the show's romantic endgame...

Or its misleading title...

Or its too-convenient machinations to get Ted and Robin together.

There were tears.

And there was anger.

Sometimes, the anger was mixed with other emotions.

Sometimes, it led to unspeakable ...
