Alas, MTV hath done Ice Cube a great disservice. Mr. Cube believes that he and Kevin Hart should have won “Best Onscreen Duo” at last night’s MTV Movie Awards for their work in Ride Along, which is a movie about two guys and one of them is worried and the other one has a car. But instead, Cube and Hart were cruelly “robbed” of their award by Vin Diesel and Paul Walker‘s ghost.

“We was robbed,” Ice Cube told USA Today. “Shame on you, MTV.”
Ice Cube says Walker, who died in a car crash back in November, only won out of “sympathy.”
“We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy,” Ice Cube told the newspaper of himself and Hart. “We were the best onscreen duo, period.”
“They should have gave it to him before he passed away,” Ice Cube added of Walker’s win.
Walker’s posthumous win isn’t the only thing that has the hip-hop star peeved. Ice Cube also dissed last night’s MTV Movie Awards by leaving mid-show.
“I just wasn’t into it,” he said. “I have been going in and out of these things for 25 years. If you ain’t into it, why torture yourself? As soon as you get bored, get up and leave.”

HEY. DUDE. IT’S A FAKE AWARD. LET THE DEAD GUY GET SOME LOVE. [E!]

MC Hammer is mad at the IRS and the IRS is mad at MC Hammer.

Hammer famously went belly up in 1996 — declaring bankruptcy and in the process losing everything, including his master recordings and most worldly possession.

Hammer got out from under his debt by anteing up more than $7 mil in 2007, and that amount included more than $1.4 million to the IRS.

Now — 7 years later — hammer says Uncle Sam has just demanded another $1.4 mil — this time for penalties and interest on the delinquent 1996 taxes.

Hammer thinks it’s a travesty, and has filed legal docs asking a judge to block the IRS from collecting because of basic principles of fairness.

Stop. Hammer crime. [TMZ]
