"Marv Albert said he was never involved in an altercation with 50 Cent, denying Internet reports of a fight on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,”’ Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press writes, adding that according to reports, "punches were thrown after members of the rapper’s entourage didn’t recognize Albert, the longtime sports broadcaster who was appearing as a guest on the show on Wednesday night." But Mahoney writes that Albert says he was nowhere near the exchange, "which he believed was caused when a member of 50 Cent’s party was prevented by show security from using a phone in the room that was supposed to belong to Albert." Says Albert, "I couldn’t even tell you what the guy looked like or the security guard looked like."
