Wiz Khalifa/Amber Rose/Kanye West - Call it irony, coincidence or plain old truth but Amber Rose proclaimed to US Weekly that Kim Kardashian was a home wrecker and was the reason that she and Kanye West broke up. She quickly rescinded her words but did admit to daytime talk show host Wendy Williams that she and Kim Kardashian’s ex, football star Reggie Bush, were one another’s rebound. But the guy who got Kanye all hot under the collar, with Ye dishing disses at last year’s SXSW, was Amber’s new beau, Wiz Khalifa. Amber told BET.com in 2011, “The love that I have for Wiz, and I know this is going to sound weird, is the love that you have for your child — they can do no wrong. No matter what happens or what goes on, that’s your family. And that’s how me and Wiz are. His family is my family, my mom is his mom, his mom is my mom. We love each other so much.”(Photos fro...

Drake/Serena/Common - A triangle that caused one of the most talked about and laughed about beefs in hip hop was between Drake and Common over lyrics the veteran Chicago rapper felt were about his ex-lady, tennis star Serena Williams. After the blogosphere churned with rumors about the two dating and the Toronto rapper showing up at one of Serena’s matches, Common attacked Drake for being more “Sinatra” than hip hop on the song “Sweet.’ The feud went back and forth much to the delight of hip hop fans. The most hilarious assessment of the tension was from blogger Elon James, who said, “They didn’t have beef, they had tofu.” Serena remained without comment.(Photos from left: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images, Mike Coppola/Getty Images,Valerie Macon/Getty Images)

Casper Smart/Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony - J.Lo just might be the queen of the rebound. Her first break-up after a one-year marriage to waiter/model Ojani Noah led to Diddy. And after Diddy, she danced her heartbreak in the arms of back-up dancer Cris Judd. After a nine-month marriage to Judd, it was on to Ben Affleck, and when the Harry Winston pink diamond stopped sparkling, it was all about Marc Anthony. We all thought Jenny from the block had found her perfect match in the Latin crooner, but after seven years of marriage, a great business partnership, and a set of twins, La Lopez wasted no time running into the arms of 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart. It seemed as though only seconds went by from when we heard she and Anthony split and pictures of Lopez and Smart surfaced.(Photos from left: Jeff Vespa/VF12/WireImage, Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

She took to the airwaves calling Diamond everything but a child of God.
