Naya Rivera fired from Glee after Argument with Producers

Welp, first she lost her engagement now she's losing her job. Naya Rivera has been fired from the FOX series days after there were reports flying around about an on-set fued between her and Lea Michele, which led to a 'major altercation' coming to head on set April 15, US Weekly reported.

But now it seems that "altercation" was with the producers of the show and Lea's name was caught in the crossfire. "She went off" a source told NY Daily News, "but it had nothing to do with Lea". It was alleged Rivera was "jealous" of the attention her co-star was given. ( Did I mention Lea Michele is Broadway trained?) & now it appears that the producers have had it.

"One co-star would not have any power in whether another returns to the show," the production insider told NY Daily News, dimissing rumors that Michele had a say so in the matter. 

A rep for Rivera issued a statement later Tuesday addressing the claims & denying that she had been fired. "Any reports or rumors circulating that Naya was let go or fired from 'Glee' is absolutely untrue", the statement read obtained by the Daily News, "End of Story." Her rep did not address the rumors that Rivera will not be appearing in the season 5 finale.

Aside from 'Glee', both women have had some other issues going on with their personal lives -- with Michele, 27, recovering from the death of her boyfriend, and fellow "Glee" actor, Cory Monteith, and Naya Rivera ending her engagement with rapper Big Sean earlier this month.

             

                               

                               

Game and T.I. Involved in Standoff with LAPD after Brutal Fight

According to TMZ:

The Game and T.I. were involved in a super-tense standoff with LAPD after a violent fight at an L.A. nightclub

TMZ was told that a group of guys who were believed to be mutual friends of The Game and T.I. were denied entrance at L.A.'s Supperclub. The guys began arguing with security and then one guy threw a punch at a security guy. You can even hear the punch at the beginning of the fight video. Security for the club began to beat two members of the group and even started kicking one of them on his face when he was down. LAPD cops were present during part of the fight and off-duty cops were as well. That's when T.I. and Game angrily left the club mistakenly believing the cops beat their guys up which led to an intense stand off. The two injured men were taken to LAPD's Hollywood division but no one wanted to file charges so they left.
You can hear people yelling "bloods" and "crips" throughout the video but no word on whether the fight was gang related or not. Take a look at the video below courtesy of TMZ
