50 Cent is opening up about the pictures that hit the net last week of him looking all frail and such.
“Yeah, they’re (the pictures) absolutely real. I shot the first half of the film for eight days and then I left for my international tour, and I spent that time training to lose weight. I had a week and a half after coming back to really intensely train to get down to 160 for the last half of the film project, Things Fall Apart...”
He says he got his inspiration from Christian Bale who lost 63 pounds for his role in The Machinist.
“They say it takes 30 days to make a habit, but man… I was on the Internet and I was looking at Christian Bale, while The Machinist was out, he almost killed himself. I was feeling like maybe I’m overdoing it and I’m dropping 54 pounds, but I was in such a good physical state prior to me deciding to go down on the weight…”
One of Fiddy’s close friends died from cancer and he used his role in ‘Things Fall Apart” as an opportunity to pay homage to his memory.
“It felt like I had a lot of muscle on me still and I was trying to lose as much as possible to be authentic to what I saw in my experience, because my motivation for the project was my best friend, Charles Pringle. He lived across the street from me; he actually died of cancer. It’s a serious topic. One out of eight people in the world die of cancer. It tops HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria together…” Source
I hand it to him. I can’t go three hours without solid food. So I couldn’t do anything like this in a million years.

Skeletal pics of Fiddy have been floating around the net for the past 24hours or so.
He got skinny for his upcoming film role in “Things Fall Apart” where he plays a football player who has cancer. He was able to go from 214 pounds to 160 by going on a liquid diet and hitting the treadmill for three hours a day. It took him 9 weeks to drop the 54 pounds.
He says “I was starving.” But added that he’s trying to get back in shape for his new tour. “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!” Source
These are the freakiest pictures I’ve seen in a minute. I don’t think I’ve been creeped out like this since I first laid eyes on Angel. Sorry Angel, no offense.

Fiddy says that he always has Eminem listen to his work before deciding to release it or not.
He said: “You rarely see Eminem come out. Because people see me so much they feel like I’m the number one hip-hop artist. But I didn’t have a record sell 23 million copies. So when I talk to him, I use him as my sound board for balance. I play my music for him to see his response, to see what he thinks.
“He hears everything first, yeah. If you made a record that sold 23 million, you might know something. Wouldn’t you agree on that? I play him the records and get his response.
“Me and Em’, we deal with things completely different. He would probably rather not be famous, have finances and have normalcy at the same time. But I understand the fair exchange, in exchange with not being able to walk in the mall and shop, I can afford to buy whatever I want in the mall, that’s a fair exchange. I can’t walk to go get it but I can have it, and I can send somebody to come get it, that’s not bad.” Source
Aww, well isn’t that sweet. You know what I would love? For 50 to never do another song and to have Eminem put out music until the end of time.

50 Cent feels that there won’t be a big crackdown on illegal downloading until Hollywood begins to feel the burn.
He said, “I don’t think the music business is dying. I think we’re just experiencing technology and we just have to pass new laws, eventually, to change how music is being distributed. It’s just about redeveloping what the music business is. It’s easier to download a song that’s three minutes long, probably about three or four seconds for you to download it, it’s easier to steal.
“When you got your blockbuster film doing $120 million in a weekend, and then (another) blockbuster film that they spent $120 million (on) comes out and nobody goes to see (it) but everybody watched it because they could pull it off their computer and see it on HD at home on a a theater – they’ll change those laws.” Source
I kinda feel what he’s saying. But if people want to steal something, they’re gonna find a way. The best regulation would be to sell all media via the net. Who really buys CDs or DVDs (besides me) anymore?

50 Cent is teaming up with VH1 to do a documentary about his family history.
“They told us that they want to connect even more with our characters, our artists and our celebrities – but in a more genuine way,” said Tom Calderone, President of VH1.
The documentary will be called 50′s Roots and will delve into his family’s slavery history while tracing his ancestry.
“They still enjoy VH1′s signature sense of fun and irreverence,” Calderone continued. “They also want more storylines that reflect the issues and challenges they are experiencing in their own lives.” Source

Rufus Wainwright told Details magazine that macho rapper 50 Cent is one of the ‘kids.’ He said, “I love, love 50 Cent. I think he’s just the sexiest, and a brilliant writer. And I know he’s gay. It’s okay, 50 Cent. Feel free to call me anytime. My boyfriend and I are experts. You can come over for dinner. And maybe dessert.”
When he asked how he knows 50 Cent is gay he said, “that cute little voice of his.”
Interestingly enough, 50 bashed gays in a 2004 Playboy interview. Peep what he said:
“I ain’t into fa**ots. I don’t like gay people around me, because I’m not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I’m not prejudiced. I just don’t go with gay people and kick it – we don’t have that much in common. I’d rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that’s cool.
“It’s OK to write that I’m prejudiced. This is as honest as I could possibly be with you. When people become celebrities they change the way they speak. But my conversation with you is exactly the way I would have a conversation on the street. We refer to gay people as fa**ots, as homos. It could be disrespectful, but that’s the facts.”Source

Virginia police weren’t happy with Z104 for playing an April Fool’s joke on listeners causing a potential hazard. The station announced that 50 Cent would be shooting a video at Mount Thrashmore that night. The buzz was so big that the city of Virginia Beach wrote on its Twitter page: “Hi folks! 50 Cent will NOT be @ Mt. Trashmore this evening. The supposed video shoot was an April Fool’s Day prank by a local radio station.”
Virginia Beach police officer Adam Bernstein said, “It was a joke and we appreciate that. But, as a police department we have to worry about crowd control and traffic, even if it is a hoax you might have thousand of people show up anyway.” Source
I don’t know but, I’m thinking that the same people who want to be in a 50 Cent video are probably NOT following Virginia Beach’s Twitter.

50 Cent just made $75K for saying one word at a club appearance. He was paid the money to show up to Bamboo in Liverpool. In addition to the money, the club owners offered him free boos and two girls to chill with him in VIP all night.
A slew of people showed up to see him, thinking he might perform. But he got up once, grabbed the mic and said ‘Hey’ then sat back down.
A source said, “It was the most blinging night ever. People though 50 Cent might perform a track or two, given his massive fee, but he just greeted the crowd with ‘Hey’ and got back to his two personally requested ladies, who were lavishing booze on him.”
Hey, it’s the club owners fault for not getting a contract stipulating he do more than a pageant wave. Nice move Fiddy.

50 Cent is straying away from hip hop and doing a dance album.
50 said: “I went to a nightclub after party. It was different music after a while. The music they were playing before they were playing the music I created was more up-tempo, more dance.
“I wanted to make a song like that, so I went into the studio. Because I’m travelling with my live band, I took the band with me and we sequenced it and recorded the actual record while we was out there.”
He added: “I won’t allow myself to be placed in a box where I can only do one style, or do one kind of music.
“They should expect the unexpected on this one. If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles, for the people who have various tastes in music, they’ll really like it.” Source

50 Cent talked to Rolling Stone recently and said that Jay-Z thinks he’s god. Here are a few excerpts:
“As far as artists he works with. I think he completely has his best interests in mind. When you commit to working with other artists — I have to be passionate about it. Of course, you want to make money, so you only commit to the things that you’re excited about, that you feel you have the chemistry with or has something there, but after you get past that point, it should be something that you actually want to see win. I tried to collaborate with him on the Freeway project ? What I did was Freeway went out and found his publishing deal, and we started the album, and Jay did “Big Spender” and I did “Take You to the Top,” and when it came time to put the record out, he didn’t want to shoot his video, so I’m like, “Why am I going to shoot mine? I’m not shooting it. It’s on your label.” He has a king complex, he thinks he’s fucking Jesus, you know what I mean? This J-Hova shit.”
“There are little things in his records, he would make reference to things, and it would just be a question mark, but when he was in the U.K., he was talking on the radio, and the guy must have made him feel like he was a punk, because he had to point out that he’s not afraid of 50 Cent. “Nobody’s afraid of 50 Cent,” or whatever he said, but he should have been addressing the guys who made him feel like that, because his approach and presentation has made him so approachable that Lil Mama’s on the stage [uninvited at the 2009 VMAs]. He made himself like that. When you wear glasses, when you wear Urkel glasses, what do you associate those glasses with? Intelligence. There’s certain things that connect to the man — don’t hit a guy with four eyes, right? That’s the message he’s putting out when he’s walking around with these glasses and stuff like that on, and you know he’s making himself look safer so he can get in the spot on the Beyoncé path.” Source
Wow, he’s really going hard on Jay-Z. Expect reactionary diss record in 5, 4, 3, 2…

Fiddy says that his fans hate when he sings.
He said: “What they would knock me for is if I sung on a record – ‘Oh, 50 is singing on a record’ – they get upset when I use the melody. I’ve been encouraged to use more melody because I’m an international touring artist and I’m watching the music break language barriers, and all they can follow is melody when you go out there at different points.
“So I brought it, I came back, and I did different things creatively and they kind of resent me for what they love Drake for. It’s interesting.”
He added (speaking about new album ‘Before I Self Destruct’), “The content is coming from situations I’ve experienced prior to when I created ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin”. What I realised translated most through my material is the aggression, and the people miss it because the other artists don’t come from the same type of background or lifestyle. They don’t want that from those artists.” Source

“My home is surrounded by cameras,” he told CNN. “I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me. You get all these crazy lawsuits, and I need cameras to check on things.”
“It is at least a $20,000 retainer in order to boost security and add a proactive investigation to stop a stalker,” Aaron Cohen, a security expert told CNN. “You will also spend that if you are the kind of celebrity that is constantly dogged by paparazzi.” Source

50 Cent: He wouldn’t. You can’t convince the public, you can’t convince Kanye to say he would’ve did that. If I was there and he did that to me we would have had an altercation. Right there. It’s clear. He [Kanye] would have avoided that, just being intelligent. The interviewer who asked [Jay-Z] about the Kanye situation made him feel like a punk. His presentation is really simple and you can’t have both. You can’t be gangster Jay from Marcy and be the good guy Jay-Z on Oprah. You just can’t. They don’t let you in. That’s Mr. Knowles, he just got that pass. There ain’t any tickets to an inauguration ball with n*ggas. If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there. This is why those things are happening.
