We wouldn't have expected this from him, but it's still pretty cool!
50 Cent has signed a deal with Razorbill publisher Ben Schrank to write and release a book called Playground, which will be a fictional retelling based on his childhood called Playground, and will address the topic of teen bullying!
The story, set to be released next January and will be edited by Laura Arnold, will reportedly focus on a 13-year old schoolyard bully "who finds redemption as he faces what he's done."
This morning, 50 Cent took to his Twitter to bash his record label over the handling of his new album. Apparently, he had a heated meeting with his people this morning about the music on the disc and needless to say, they weren't on the same page. 50 explains:
Nicole Scherzinger is scheduled to join 50 Cent on stage to perform the track Right There during next week's result show of American Idol on Thursday night!
Excellent!
We wonder if this will be the last time she'll be able to perform on this show, as she'll be hosting its competitor, The X Factor, come fall!
The first one did alright for itself, so why not start a second?!
50 Cent will reportedly launch a new division of his record label this coming year called GNote Records. In fact, according to his Twitter page, Fiddy has even signed the label's first artist- rapper Hot Rod from Phoenix, Arizona. 50 wrote to his followers on Friday:
"@officialhotrod is the first artist of G NOTE he gonna do his numbers watch."
Fiddy Cent must be having a bit of a Mean Girls streak in honor of LaLoca's prison sentence because he recently got all kinds of catty and bitchy while discussing fellow rapper Diddy!
He says:
"Puffy is a bitch. He wanted to be the hot bitch in his group… You know how an ugly bitch surrounds herself with pretty girls? Well, he is the pretty bitch with the other girls around him. He will suck the life out of everyone he is around. His music sucks. It's bad. He's not an artist anyway, so it doesn't really matter. When you think about it, is he a rapper? Because he says he doesn't write rhymes, he writes cheques. Nobody's buying ['Last Train to Paris'] he even said it himself that he doesn't expect it to sell."
Ouch! He went straight for the balls with that one, didn't he?
We can't WAIT for what Diddy has to say in response! He's not going to take that kind of smack-talking lightly!
Jeremy Renner fans -- you can now rest easy tonight!
While it had recently been rumored that Hawkeye was being recast in the Avengers sequel, it looks like Jeremy isn't going ANYWHERE!
Our sources tell us that the recasting rumors are completely untrue and that he will indeed return to the silver screen as Hawkeye! Phew!
And, though it had been reported that some comments Jeremy made pissed off the execs over at Marvel, we're told he's still "very much a part of the Marvel family."
Not only that, but it sounds like we can expect to see Renner in the upcoming installments!!
