The Game has been known to tell a tall tale or two, but his newest yarn takes the cake.

According to the Game, recently deceased pop legend Michael Jackson attempted to intercede during the height of the beef between 50 Cent and Game, calling the Compton rapper/fan in 2005 and offering to play "peacekeeper" between the feuding MC's.

"I was on tour in Canada, sitting in my room, cutting my hair," Game told MTV News. "I was messing my hair up. Then my road manager knocks on my door. Boom, boom, boom. He told me, I got MJ on the phone. I ran and snatched up the phone."

Soulja Boy Tell Em may be a little too comfortable posting his thoughts on his Twitter page. The Atlanta native, who has around 976,000 followers, recently went on a racist rant against the media's portrayal of his music and image.

"Water down my music and my appearance and make me look like something I'm not," he twittered. "These crackers don't know who the f--- I really am!!!! Then I get signed, this is where my dream slowly died... these crackaz wanna' criticize a n--ga. Take REAL sh-t and turn it to trash. Like why? Like really. My music dream was the sh-- 2 years ago before I was signed. It was everything I could ever imagine.

Fans of the King of Pop will get a chance to pay their final respects to the entertainer, at the Los Angeles Staples Center, Tuesday. AEG, the concert promoters behind Jackson's ill-fated 'This is It Tour,' announced that it will distribute 11,000 tickets to the event free of charge.

Members of the media have been on a wild goose chase trying to pinpoint the exact location of the event. Earlier this week it was reported that the memorial would be held at Jackson's former home the Neverland Ranch. Located 130 miles outside of Los Angeles, the ranch has been filled with fans anticipating a public viewing of the pop icon's body.

Rapper Royce da 5'9 is the poster child for work-life balance. He manages to juggle all of his projects -- which include a tour and forthcoming albums by himself and Slaughterhouse -- yet still finds time for his three children.

"As long as I'm at home, I have babies to take care of," he said via telephone from his Detroit-area home. "I have one on a swing. I have another I have to constantly chase around that we're trying to potty train, and an 11-year-old outside that never wants to stay in and help us."

Royce has taken a break from the family life to embark on the Rock the Bells tour with Slaughterhouse, a super group of sorts that also features Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Crooked I. The 10-date festival tour runs through Aug. 9.

Well, we knew he was serious about fashion, but it looks like the Louis Vuitton Don has scored an internship at retail chain the Gap. Initially reported by Us Weekly, the rap star has been "quietly" interning at the apparel giant in an effort to gain some insider's experience.

"He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 a.m," Us Weekly reported. "He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly."

While surfing the 'net today, we stumbled across a new hip-hop site geared toward the gay community. The site, Rap Gaydar, features categories such as "Ayo Lyricism," which calls out lyrics that may suggest some same sex lovin', "The Down Low" and "Pretty Pictures," and a tagline that reads: "We're here, we're queer, we're kicking flava in ya ear."

Interestingly enough, the new site's name/logo is pretty close to former XXL magazine Editor-in-Chief Elliott Wilson's new site Rap Radar. Coincidence? Is Wilson aware of this? Also, Gay Radar calls out recently defunct Vibe magazine and claims the publication was the first "openly gay hip-hop mag." Now, if they could just reveal the identity of the "gay rapper" ...
