Everybody seems to have an opinion on Tiger Woods and his cheating scandal, but 50 Cent has some words of advice. According to the rapper, Tiger wouldn’t have been caught had he behaved in a more “gangster” way. 50 says, “Tiger, it’s interesting. Fear factor - you need a little fear there, a woman need to feel that maybe he’s going to snap, ‘So I ain’t going to say that’”
“With Tiger there’s no fear there. They be like, ‘He left a message on my phone, he say he love me. He was going to leave her.”
“And he says, “Hey it’s Tiger baby I was trying to get my freak on a little later - if you could call me back. ”
“Damn, he’s been tried and convicted when his wife hears that.”
The best advice that 50 gave however, was that Tiger should have used condoms. “Thirteen women and no condoms - you’re a gambling man ain’t you Tiger?” [Source: Mirror; Photo: Getty Images]
Here’s something those Apocalypse-loving Mayans probably never would have predicted: 50 Cent wants to work with Susan Boyle. “Susan Boyle is hot right now. I got to get her on a track, for real. We’d make a hit,” the rapper told 3am.co.uk. Fiddy (Fitty? Mr. Cent?) said, “Everyone is talking about her, the lady from ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. She’s got an amazing voice, and together we’d get everyone dancing.”
You know, even though we can’t see Susan (a.k.a. Fifty Pence) in da club this isn’t the most insane idea we’ve ever heard. Ever since Jay-Z sampled “Annie” and Tupac used a Bruce Hornsby track, we’ve had to open our minds and realize that anything is possible and we shouldn’t judge. Funny thing is, it’s almost like rappers are trying to appeal to our parents with this music (okay, okay, and us - we love show tunes and soft rock a lot more than we should). Susan, the ball is in your court - please say yes! [Photos: GettyImages]
The fashion was “dazzling,” with many of the ladies donning sequins, jewels, and sparkles. The guys went for a Mad Men-esque look with slim-fitting suits and skinny ties.
Missing from the red carpet was Rachelle Leferve, who tweeted “being fired from Eclipse tonight was just 2 emotional 4 me & I couldn’t manage it. So sorry.” Bryce Dallas Howard was cast to replace Leferve as “Victoria” in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. [Photos: Getty Images]
First Eminem rapped about alleged ex Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon (”You prick, I wish you luck with the f—— whore”). Then Cannon wrote a long, ridiculous rant on his blog about whether to respond to “Slim Lamey,” who must be a racist to talk about Carey like that—”Miss Marshall, I’m going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife.” After the comment box blew up, Nick deleted the post. Too bad it was already cached!
While Eminem has yet to comment, an old radio interview with DJ Whoo Kid and 50 Cent where the rapper claims he once urinated on Mariah has surfaced on the web. Will Nick ignore it or once again demand Eminem “holler at [him] on some grown man s—?” And where will Spongebob Squarepants and Stewie Griffin side on this beef?
The New York Postreports that Ciara and 50 Cent recently spent the night at a suite in a Times Square hotel. Says their source, “there was only one bed in that penthouse.” Gasp! You mean Fiddy had to sleep on the sofa?
Rumors have swarmed around the pair since they filmed a steamy video for “Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone” two years ago, but they’ve never admitted to anything other than friendship. Still, we wouldn’t be surprised if a successful CEO like Fiddy made sure that friendship—like everything else—came with benefits.
The beef between Miami rapper Rick Ross and Vitamin Water mogul 50 Cent is about to get taken to a new level. The musicians have been going after each other with rhymes and malicious cartoons (seriously - cartoons) for a while, including one that Ross put up on his Myspace page entitled “Gay Unit Workouts.” Surely you can imagine the plot of that lamely named clip. But revenge mastermind Fiddy got Ross back by convincing the mother of his son, Tia Kemp, to shoot a revealing video (watch it above) about her ex. In it she bashes Ross, accuses him of having fake, rented bling, and then goes shopping for fur coats and Gucci shoes with her ex’s rival.
Of course, 50’s not stopping there. He’s apparently somehow acquired a porn tape of Ross’s other baby mama sexing it up on film, and he’s going to release the whole thing - with his own personal commentary. We gotta hand it to Fiddy - he’s not f*cking around, and we kind of admire how far he’ll go to bring someone down. Then again, maybe we’re just saying that so he won’t mess with us.
It’s time to start exfoliating, gentlemen! 50 Cent has all but forgotten his rap career and is now focusing on raking in cash by creating a line of men’s facial products. Yes, you too can cleanse, scrub and primp just like Fiddy, with a line that will apparently include “moisturisers, night creams, and health supplements.” Wash it all down with some Vitamin Water, while you’re at it! 50 is gonna make money off of you one way or another.
A pal says, “50 prides himself on having a ripped body… he’s on a health kick and barely touches alcohol. So his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered - but the supplements will make it more butch.”
Right - because there’s nothing more masculine than popping vitamins intended to clear the skin. Perhaps just laying off the sugary faux water would work? [Photo: WireImage]
50 Cent had almost fallen off of our radar, but we couldn’t help but notice this little comment he gave about his workout regimen while chatting at the Vitamin Water house at the Sundance Film Festival. The rapper - who was in Park City promoting the film “The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay,” which he produced - invited pals to join him during his favorite workout. He offered up this description to the NY Daily News:
“It’s intense, and there are no weights involved. And some of it’s like girly stuff, like just kicking your leg, but it’s muscles you don’t really ever work at. Men don’t usually go to the gym and say, ‘I’m going to develop my ass. This’ll be the J.Lo workout.’”
We can’t help but marvel that the man who once declared, “I don’t like gay people around me,” in a homophobic rant, is now comfortable admitting to having a “girly” workout routine. Is Fiddy newly enlightened and openminded? Doubtful, but at least his legs are looking good. [Photo: FilmMagic]
The recession is affecting everyone, from those making minimum-wage to those making millions off of rap albums and mineral water. Before you feel to bad for yourself, consider—have you lost millions? Because 50 Cent is losing millions. Fiddy explained his woes to the Canadian Press:
Well yeah, I lost a couple million dollars already, you see what I’m saying? I sit with my investors and business managers and accountants looking at the numbers and I’m like, ‘Yo, the values of stocks in different areas that I invested in are decreasing!’ So I take the loss like everybody else.
Well, not quite everyone else. The once and former Curtis arrived at London’s Mayfair Hotel today in a Rolls Royce, followed by a 15-man security team in a stretch Hummer. Unfortunately, someone left the keys in the Rolls, forcing one of the crew to open the door with a wire hanger. See? He doesn’t have some fancy, rich man’s unlocking technique. Has to use a wire hanger just like everyone else. “I’m like the fire hydrant,” says Fiddy. “I’ll be right beside the street regardless of how they feel about it.”
There’s no tradition in hip-hop more exciting than the feud. Since the earliest days of street-corner rhyme battles, MCs have been taking each other head-on, fighting to be the best on the block, the hottest in the neighborhood, or the king of the whole game. Rap beefs can originate anywhere, from a subtle slight to a full-on threat. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re tragic, and sometimes they’re just plain weird. Here, from old-school word wars to semi-automatic shootouts, we count down the ten biggest feuds in rap history. Click into the gallery below to begin. [Photos: Getty Images]
