Is 50 Cent Really Betting Full Frontal On The Giants?

Sure, 50 Cent fans should be happy to see him surrounded by bundles of cash, like in the picture above — supposedly after winning $500,000 on Sunday’s Giants-49ers playoff game, if he wasn’t exaggerating on Twitter. But maybe some of his lady fans will want him to lose his next bet on New York. In a Twitter exchange later on Sunday night, he may have made a nonmonetary wager:

“Ok RT @MyBestAssets: @50cent Lets bet. If the Giants lose the Superbowl, u must post ur d*ck on the twitter. If they win, I’ll post my boobs & face on here. Bet?” Fif posted.

Of course, by Monday night, Miss @MyBestAssets seemed to be backing down on her end. “Just reading my mentions about my bet to @50cent. People are way too serious when it comes to twitter,” she wrote.

Well, in that case, we’ll go back to rooting for the Giants.

50 Cent And Chaka Khan Get Cozy At VH1 Divas While Announcing A Project

Get More: Music Videos, Free Music Videos

There was one unplanned “duet” at the taping of VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul (airing Monday, Dec. 19 at 9/8c) that had everybody talking last night: 50 Cent and Chaka Khan. The powerhouse duo, more than two decades apart in age, showed up on the red carpet entwined in each other’s arms. When questioned by VH1 News correspondent Janell Snowden, fiddy explained: “I’ve always been a fan of Chaka Khan and I reached out and asked her if I could attend with her tonight.”

“We met last week officially for the first time,” said Chaka. “But we’ve loved each other’s music and we’ve loved each other’s art form forever.” The sight of the two looking like lovebirds sparked plenty of chatter on the web, with some sites like the notoriously inaccurate MediaTakeOut claiming the two are full-on dating.

While we all know the adage “love knows no boundaries,” we’re wondering if their cuddling was a playful way to make some noise while announcing a joint project together. “We’re working together,” admitted 50 Cent to MTV News. “We’re working on a project, hit music.” It will be “big things,” added Chaka. We can’t wait.

The Men Of VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul Bring The Hotness

Is there anything hotter than a diva? How about about a man who loves divas? How about a man who loves divas, and is himself a diva? We know; it’s almost too beautiful to consider. Whether they were performing at the taping of VH1′s Divas Celebrates Soul tonight or simply respecting the shine of the women and men who did, gentlemen like Common, Questlove and 50 Cent brought that red carpet elegance. Boyz II Men also shared cooleyhighharmony in every sense of the word, while Travie McCoy and Nas went casual in caps. Hey, we don’t blame them; it’s freezing in New York! And we don’t want anyone going into full diva mode, would we? VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul premieres Monday, Dec., 19 at 9PM EST.

Star Watch: Immortals Premieres In L.A.

The whole cast of Immortals came out to play at the premiere of the film, held yesterday in L.A. Freida Pinto was murderously chic in a metallic, textured Antonio Berardi gown. Henry Cavill, the lead in the movie, wore a suit that barely contained his Superman physique. Isabel Lucas looked slender and very pretty in a Roksanda Ilincic dress while a suited-up Kellan Lutz held on tight to new girlfriend, Sharni Vinson.

Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Mickey Rourke and Joseph Morgan rounded off the cast. Joseph, FYI, plays our favorite new badass vamp on The Vampire Diaries and his co-star Claire Holt was at the premiere, as well. Also spotted were 50 Cent, Nia Vardalos, Estella Warren, Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari. Browse the gallery below to watch them strut their stuff on the red carpet.

Pauly D And 50 Cent To Make Sweet Music Together

First he was DJing for Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale tour, now a Pauly D and 50 Cent album is on the way. Man, seeing a Jersey Shore cast member go legit is going to make Ronnie‘s Xenadrine commercials even more heart-breaking to watch. “I’m focusing on music. That’s my passion. I’m working with 50 Cent now,” DJ Pauly told Billboard after the VMAs. “I’m gonna do an album with him.” This collabo makes a lot of sense to us; we bet Fiddy’s been down the Jersey Turnpike more times than the NJTA.

Pauly discussed his upcoming album with 50 Cent earlier this month in XXL Magazine, confirming that duo will soon be helping America celebrate each day as if it was our nation’s birthday. “It’s going to be a little bit of everything,” Pauly says. “It’s almost like DJ Khaled and kind of David Guetta but my own DJ Pauly D style.” The only downside, of course, is how many arms will spontaneously snap due to too much fist-pumping.

Be Nice or Die Tryin’: 50 Cent Pens YA Novel About Bullying

Harry Potter. The Hunger Games. 50 Cent’s novel Playground. Come January, young adult readers will be shoving their beloved sci-fi and fantasy titles aside for Fiddy’s semi-autobiographical book, about a 13-year-old who must make up for bullying others. Says Fiddy, “This book would have been very helpful for me growing up and now that I have a teenage son, it is my goal that this will have a positive influence on all teenagers.” So, we’re assuming he hadn’t started writing it in March when 50 Cent joked about the Japanese tsunami, right? He must have grown a lot as a person in the last two months, as well as gotten carpel tunnel from typing up an entire novel fast.

Of course, 50 Cent’s Twitter insults aren’t the only dish in his long history of beef. How about his feuds The Game, Lil Wayne, Young Buck, Fat Joe and Kim Osario, for starters? And that’s just the first chapter in what could be an entire book purely of beefs. See, and that would could non-fiction. Fiddy has something for everyone in the library!

Chelsea Handler Owns Up To Dating 50 Cent

We know you were waking up every night in a cold sweat wondering if these two love birds ever actually got together, so let’s just confirm it now: Chelsea Handler dated 50 Cent. “We dated, very casually,” Handler told Piers Morgan during her interview last night. “He’s a very sweet, nice guy…I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated.” If a picture of 50 Center and Chelsea Handler in bed wasn’t enough confirmation for you…actually, yeah, that was enough confirmation. There is literally no greater confirmation than that. The cat’s pretty much out of the bag when we have photographic evidence of you two snuggling, Chelsea.

Unlike every other celebrity relationship, however, both parties seem to have ended things on good terms. 50 Cent praised the late night host as “cool” in March, and Chelsea sang the rapper’s praises last night. “He’s a great guy… he’s the complete antithesis of what you’d imagine. He’s a sweetheart, he’s great, he’s funny, he has a great sense of humor,” Handler, who is currently dating hotelier Andre Balazs, said. We’ll believe it when you tweet a photo of your cordially shaking each other’s hands over brunch. We know better than to just trust your word, Chelsea.

Funny Or Die Tryin’: 50 Cent Starts His Own Comedy Website

After successful ventures into film, technology and clothing, hip hop star 50 Cent is trying to break into the viral comedy game by starting his own website, Thisis50Comedy.com. Although currently semi-live, the site is to formally launch tomorrow with the premiere of his original web series, This Is 50 Comedy Show. The program will be hosted by 50 Cent associate Young Jack Thriller, and taped in front of a live audience at the Times Square Arts Center.

“The comedy game is about to change,” the rap impresario promises in an intro video on the site. ”Your life is about to change.” We have to say that he’s sort of right. We truly haven’t been the same since we made our way over to his corner of cyberspace. Never has anyone taken comedy so seriously. It may look more like a pro-wrestling fan page than a humor hub, but for $2.99 a month the site promises to bring you “the cutting-edge humor of the nation’s funniest comedians.”

Mickey Rourke Admits New Films With Megan Fox, 50 Cent Are “Terrible”

Having seen the trailer, we were pretty sure the Megan Fox movie Passion Play would be an epic stink bomb. Trumpet players, angel wings and a villainous Bill Murray do not an Academy Award win. Today we get confirmation of Passion‘s awfulness from someone who was actually in the film, and his honesty is exhilarating. According to Mickey Rourke, Passion Play is “terrible.” As the actor told New York Mag, “Terrible. Another terrible movie. But, you know, in your career and all the movies you make, you’re going to make dozens of terrible ones.” Despite having claimed co-star Fox was “probably the best young actress I’ve ever worked with,” he now emphasizes the phrase “that I worked with.” After reports that Passion Play would go to DVD, it will actually get a limited release beginning May 6. The reason Passion won’t be hitting theaters world-wide? “That’s because it’s not very good,” Mickey patiently pointed out. Wow, we feel so alive hearing Mickey speak the truth! Too bad it has to end eventually so he can, you know, find gainful employment.

Not content to hate on his upcoming film, Rourke also ripped on the gangster film he made last year with Jason Statham and 50 Cent, 13. “A really bad movie, yeah,” Rourke admitted, correcting the reporter who wondered if it had been released yet. “No, it’s so bad it can’t get out.” Okay, Mickey, now tell us your opinion on that 50 Cent movie with Chace Crawford? Or Megan Fox’s long-term career prospect? Or what you think when you look in the mirror at yourself?

50 Cent Might Be Vaulting Over Furniture For “Confident” Chelsea Handler

Be careful if you ever plan a dinner party for 50 Cent and Chelsea Handler. First of all, they might never reply to your beautiful invitations because they don’t technically “know who you are.” Secondly, as suggested by his interview with Vibe, 50 Cent finds Chelsea Handler so confident, he might ruin your hand-made centerpiece by diving over it at her. “Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person,” Fiddy tells Vibe. “She’s the kind of person that if you’re blessed with the opportunity to hang out with her, you’ll enjoy it. I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and f–k her, but you might. You would leave after talking with her feeling that she is a cool person.” Ok, just let us clear off the place settings first…Fiddy, come on!

Unfortunately, despite all the canoodling Chelsea and Fiddy got up to last year, Handler is still dating hotel magnate Andre Balazs. Don’t worry 50 Cent; there are plenty of ladies worth ruining the tablecloth over. Just not at our house.
