50 Cent Not So Fast ... My Mansion Ain't Sold Yet
50 Cent can smell the $8 million he'll get for selling his Connecticut mansion, but there are still a few hurdles before he can get it.
As we reported ... 50's landed a buyer for the sprawling 21 bedroom, 25 bath home -- and that buyer intends to turn the estate into an assisted living facility. However, according to the docs ... the sale is contingent upon a couple things.
First, the buyer has to get zoning approval to convert the crib into a retirement home ... and also, the bankruptcy judge has to approve the whole deal.
Fiddy's lawyers want to close on April 29, so everyone's got about 2 months to get their ducks in a row -- and get that money for 50 Cent. Or rather, his creditors.

Reese Witherspoon Sued She's a Common Magnolia Thief!
Reese Witherspoon's logo for her popular clothing and jewelry line is a dead ringer for a piece of jewelry designed several years before hers ... according to a new lawsuit.
Jordann Weingartner says she created in 2008, and got a copyright for a "distinctive six-pointed floral design" which she called Magnolia. In her lawsuit, Weingartner points out her jewelry is a hot-seller in stores and online ... and in multiple states including Florida, New York, Texas, and California.
Then along comes Reese in 2015, rolling out a magnolia design for her Draper James line, according to the docs. Weingartner says Reese's version is a total knockoff of hers and confuses the marketplace.
She's suing to get a cut of Reese's profits and to get her Draper James Magnolia yanked from stores ... like an annoying weed.

French Montana I Wasn't Dissing Kendrick ... My Beef's with the Grammys
French Montana says he's not feuding with Kendrick Lamar ... but he thinks his comment about K. Dot's mainstream popularity got all twisted.
During a recent 'Breakfast Club' interview on NY's Power 105, French was asked why he thinks street rap doesn't sell like Kendrick? French brought up Kendrick's Grammy performance saying it was "like Kendrick night" but all of hip-hop doesn't sound like him.
French caught some flak for that, but tells TMZ people misunderstood his comment. What he meant was "each style of rap, whether it be street rap, conscious rap, trap, or anything else should be looked at equally as being hip-hop."
He added, "All of these artists should be acknowledged, rather than singling out an individual, whether it be Kendrick or anyone else."
In other words, the Grammys need to spread the love next year.
38 Special Guitarist It's Time to Get My Jag Off
One of 38 Special's guitarists, Jeff Carlisi, has something more valuable than the first Fender guitar ever made ... a 1962 Jaguar, which can be yours for $280,000.
Jeff's dad imported the car from Spain back in '62 and it's been in the family since. The rock star decided to unload the Jag because he thinks the climate in his new home -- Florida -- will take its toll on the car.
The multi-platinum guitarist's car will go on the Gooding & Company auction block, along with his guitar from the 1989 video "Second Chance."
The items will go to the highest bidder March 11th at the Amelia Island Auction in Florida.

Bella Thorne Caught in a Little White Furry Lie
Bella Thorne tried to silence Internet trolls but instead got caught in a tangled "faux fur" web -- 'cause it turns out the jacket is genuine rabbit and arctic fox fur.
Bella posted the pic of herself in the fur coat Tuesday on Instagram and even tried to silence the imminent anti-fur backlash with a caption that read, "Dear internet trolls, it's faux fur."
Problem is ... people were quick to notice the fur looked identical to the Tierra Striped Fur Jacket by Alice & Olivia which retails for $1,700.
The item's description -- on the Bloomingdale's and Harrods websites -- specifically says it's made of GENUINE rabbit and fox fur from China, where fur farms are abundant.
A rep tells us Bella was given the jacket during a photo shoot, and was "told it was faux fur." The rep says now that Bella is aware ... she'll never wear it again.
