“MTO WORLD EXCLUSIVE DRAMA: Rihanna And Beyonce Are FIGHTING . . . . We Got ALL THE EXCLUSIVE DETAILS INSIDE!!!” blares a MediaTakeOut headline.

Oh, do tell.

The webloid writes, “Today was supposed to be ALL ABOUT RIHANNA. Rihanna and Eminem currently have the number ONE single on the Billboard charts – MONSTER. And Rih is set to release the VIDEO today.”

“But all everyone is talking about is BEYONCE’S ALBUM, and the 17 videos she released on Friday,” says MediaTakeOut, and now “Rih is FURIOUS with Beyonce.”

Citing a (cough) “TOP SOURCE,” the outlet claims, “Rihanna feels that Beyonce PURPOSELY released her album on Friday to UPSTAGE Rihanna.”

“Rihanna and Beyonce have always had a very cordial [relationship], but they are definitely competitors,” says MTO’s “insider,” who adds, “[I think] Beyonce definitely pulled a power play and let Rihanna know who the Queen is.”

So this “top source” simply “thinks” Beyonce purposefully dropped her album on Friday just to mess with Rihanna’s video release days later?

That’s some rock-solid reporting right there.

Anyway, MediaFakeOut further alleges, “We’re told that Rihanna contacted HER MANAGEMENT” over the timing, “and CUSSED FOLK OUT.”

Those are “exclusive details” all right — absolutely wrong ones, though.

First off, the “Monster” video is really Eminem’s, not Rihanna’s, as she is featured on his track.

Secondly, Gossip Cop investigated and no one could confirm MediaTakeOut’s claims of a sudden feud between the two singers.

In fact, a source close to Beyonce further laughed off the allegations, saying speculation that her album release had anything to do with Rihanna is ridiculous.

Of course, MediaTakeOut is the same outlet that claimed Beyoncé was faking her pregnancy, and said Rihanna was going to tour with Chris Brown.

NeNe Leakes Hit Bravo Producer On Head With Bottle, Says MediaTakeOut

“NeNe Leakes Assaults Bravo Producer . . . And Now She’s ON THE RUN!!!” screams a headline from MediaTakeOut, which goes on to claim the reality star supposedly hit the producer ”with a bottle” at a charity baseball game in Atlanta, and “then FLED THE SCENE.”

According to the webloid, “NeNe and her former friend Marlo began ARGUING HEATEDLY” at the baseball game, and “at one point a producer from the Atlanta Housewives tried to come between the ladies and get the situation under control. That’s when ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.”

MediaFakeOut then says Leakes told the producer, “I made you… you will NOT disrespect me,” before she “went upside his head with a bottle.”

“The male producer was shaken up after getting his HEAD CRACKED,” continues the blog, adding that “before he was able to call for help, NeNe GOT OUTTA THERE.”

Sound vaguely familiar?

Probably because in 2012 MediaTakeOut similarly reported that Leakes “struck” one of her producers in the face.

The webloid was WRONG back then, and is again completely off-base.

It’s interesting at how a public event like a charity ball game, MediaFakeOut was the only outlet to hear of such an allegedly violent act.

Leakes addressed MTO’s latest blunder, writing on Twitter on Sunday, “Every season they claim I hit somebody but u haven’t seen it yet have u! That’s because it never happens.”

And a source close to the situation also tells Gossip Cop, “It’s just BS.”

Justin Timberlake “Caught Creeping” On Jessica Biel With “Mystery Blonde”?

“CAUGHT CREEPING!!! Justin Timberlake Is Spotted LEAVING THE STUDIO LATE LAST NIGHT . . . With A Drunken Blonde Who AIN’T HIS WIFE!!” reads another uniquely versed headline from MediaTakeOut.

The webloid claims Timberlake left “an after party with a mystery girl around 2am at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, PA,” before noting, “That woman is NOT Jessica Biel.”

Here’s what’s right about the MTO story: That woman is not Biel.

Here’s what’s wrong about the MTO story: Everything else.

Timberlake was NOT “creeping” with another woman.

A source tells us the blonde is none of that Timberlake’s little cousin, who came to see him perform in Philly.

Whoops!

Of course, MediaTakeOut’s track record isn’t exactly stellar when it comes to accurate reporting.

In just the past two weeks, for example, the blog claimed Chris Brown was going to use a photo of Rihanna for the cover of his new album (wrong), Orlando Bloom was dating his Broadway co-star Condola Rashad (wrong), and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had “broken up” (wrong).

Unless you have high cholesterol, take MTO’s latest Timberlake report with a grain of salt.
