50 Cent Gossip and News

50 Cent reportedly won a $500,000 bet (!) on the Giants in the NFC Championship game. But that's only money. For the Super Bowl, he's making things really interesting. After Tweeting throughout Sunday's nerve-wracking win ("just watched a $500,000 football game get on my level Chumps") 50 is uber-confident heading into February 5. So much so that the rapper quickly accepted when a follower named MyBestAssets made him an offer regarding his hometown Giants and the New England Patriots: Fiddy is betting something a little different this time around. It's unclear who MyBestAssets is, what those assets are, and what the extent of her relationship with Chelsea Handler's ex is. But she's apparently a Pats fan. "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. Bet?" she wrote. 50 quickly went all in on that. "Ok It's a bet. See your d*ck on twitter Feb 5. Lol" she wrote. LOL indeed. ...

Visiting Howard Stern's show Monday, Chelsea Handler was surprisingly (or maybe not that surprisingly) candid about her ill-fated relationship with 50 Cent. She wasted no time confirming that this rumored couple was in fact a couple, and revealing what her friends thought and why they ultimately split up. "He's actually a lot different than you would think," she said. "He's really sweet. I thought it was kind of amusing that I would even be with 50 Cent." "My friends all loved him, my friends fell in love with him," she said, including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, who were as surprised as us. "They loved that I was dating him. They were like, 'Chelsea, come on.' They were both laughing really hard at it - everyone was - but they loved him." So what went wrong? "We dated for a couple months and then we had a falling out," she said. "One of his ex-girlfriends was coming onto my show." She did not say who, but ...

Chelsea Handler is a straight-shooter. So when she dropped by the Howard Stern show this morning and the conversation rolled around to her ill-fated relationship with 50 Cent, she wasted...

50 Cent is nothing if not self-ware. Always a more complex individual than you might think, the star has grown morose lately, at least according to dispatches sent out over his Twitter account. “I don’t think I’m gonna live much longer,” Fiddy told his nearly 5.5 million followers. Well, that doesn't sound uplifting. His rationale for such a statement? ”I’m good if I die tonight," he said, although he went on to assure fans in a later tweet that he's alright: “To be conscious that life is short is not suicidal.” Shortly before that, 50 had lamented, “I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on,” alluding to the troubles he and his label Interscope have been having. “I have nothing left to say. I will not be promoting my music.” That and Chelsea Handler reportedly shot him down. Brutal! Of course, Mr. Cent, who “took 25 cent water and sold it for $2” as VitaminWater, does have a new entrepreneurial pursuit: his new six-hour ...

Rapper 50 Cent, never one to be accused of family friendly entertainment, saw half of his performance bleeped out, but still rocked the house on The X Factor finale. Astro may not be the inaugural X Factor winner, but the young rapper did make his way onto the finale, rapping alongside Fiddy. That's a feat in and of itself! Also, L.A. Lakers guard Derek Fisher introduced Mr. Cent, his good friend, and other Lakers - Matt Barnes and Steve Blake - also made it up on stage somehow. We can't explain it either. Just watch the performance below. 50 Cent Live on X Factor In case the censoring rendered it all unclear, 50 performed his latest single "Wait Until Tonight" followed by his 2003 smash hit, "In Da Club," featuring Astro. The kid's got game ... unlike Barnes, Blake and Fisher, who just waved their arms a lot ... with Kobe Bryant hurt, maybe they're getting in shape to play extra minutes?

Ever since Britney Spears got engaged to Jason Trawick last week, celebrities everywhere - and even K-Fed for that matter - have been wishing her all the best. One of more vocal supporters over the years (really) has been 50 Cent, who told told reporters at the VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul concert in NYC how happy he is. "I am so happy for her," the rapper said, before musing, "Britney Spears had a rough time. The press took the biggest opportunity ever to dog her." "When you reach that point, you work really hard to get where she is. It’s very interesting because the public likes to build you to destroy you for entertainment's sake." "I’m just really happy for her to be happy." Fiddy continued by saying he thinks Britney is ready to be married for a third time (before K-Fed, she wed high school pal Jason Alexander for 55 hours). "I hope she is," he remarked. "Wouldn’t you like to hope that? Let’s just ...

G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit! Pauly D is officially a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit team. The Jersey Shore star/DJ has just been signed to the rapper's G-Note record label, 50 confirmed on Twitter, adding a photo of the pair together. Pauly also chimed in about the deal: "Big Big Things In The Works @50cent And @DJPaulyD !!!!!" he Tweeted. "#yeahhhhbuddy" (A rep for G-Unit also confirmed the signing to MTV News.) Talk of a Pauly D/ 50 Cent collaboration has been floating around since the summer when the MTV reality star teased a joint album to Billboard. Said the man with the most talent of anyone in his MTV-sponsored house, not that this fact says very much: "I'm focusing on music. That's my passion. I'm working with 50 Cent now. I'm gonna do an album with him. It's going to be a little bit of everything. It's almost like DJ Khaled and kind of David Guetta but my own DJ Pauly D style." This deal with Fiddy is merely ...

50 Cent employs violent criminals who wail on women ... according to a lawsuit. A suit against the rapper alleges he hired Dwayne McKenzie (for reasons and purposes unknown) who invited some women over to Cent's mansion in Connecticut ... where, supposedl,y McKenzie made "graphic and vulgar sexual requests" of one gal. The plaintiff, Vasti Ortiz, became uncomfortable and started to leave.  50 is involved in more weird legal drama than anyone but Lindsay. She claims that's when McKenzie ordered another woman to start beating on her while he held her down ... badly hurting her. Pretty messed up stuff if so. Ortiz claims 50 knew or should've known McKenzie was a known thug with a criminal past. But since 50 wasn't even there at the time, good luck with that. [Photo: WENN.com]

Talk about an odd couple! It's not every day you see a hardcore rapper have a sit-down with America's sweetheart of the past, but such was the case, when 50 Cent ran into Goldie...

50 Cent has a beef with his label. Not happy with the way Interscope Records has been handling his yet-to-be-titled fifth studio LP, the "In Da Club" rapper has decided to cancel...

50 Cent continues to branch out career-wise. The rapper has teamed up with Razorbill publisher Ben Schrank to write and release a book called Playground, a semi-autobiographical novel based on his childhood. One major theme: The issue of teen bullying. The story, set to be released next January, will reportedly focus on a 13-year old schoolyard bully "who finds redemption as he faces what he's done." "I had a strong desire to write Playground because I wanted to explore how a kid becomes a bully," said 50 Cent in a statement earlier this week. "I drew on events from my own childhood and adolescence, but was equally excited to see the story take on its own life." "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." While we never pegged 50 Cent for a socially-conscious ...

Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent sure sparked lots of romantic rumors in recent months, given the time they spent together - time spent looking cozy at that. Making the media rounds promoting her new book, the E! host is finally opening up on that odd relationship (and her current one with Andre Balazs). Regarding Fiddy, she confessed to Piers Morgan, "We dated, very casually." "He's a very sweet, nice guy," she says of the rapper. "I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated." Even though Handler continues to rave about 50 Cent, calling him "the complete antithesis of what you'd imagine," Chelsea admits he had his faults. "I don't really like when men buy me ridiculous gifts, especially when I don't know them well," Handler says, explaining how 50 overtly tried to woo her. Saying she ended up nixing his expensive gestures, "I can buy my own gifts. I really don't ...

Rhode Island's most famous DJ and rap's biggest gangsta, together at last. Pauly D is close to joining forces with G-Unit, 50 Cent's label, as 50 desperately wants to sign the Jersey Shore star and has offered a three-album deal. In a sign of the apocalypse - but not one you can really get upset about 'cause c'mon, who doesn't love Pauly D - the two sides are nearing a contract. The Jersey Shore pimp/DJ met with Fiddy and his people in NYC last week, where they discussed the lucrative record deal and a Pauly D merchandise line. Specifically, Pauly D-brand headphones, obviously. Nothing's signed yet,but according to sources, 50 wants to hammer out the deal ASAP before Pauly jets off to shoot Jersey Shore Season 4 in Italy. Talks have become so serious, 50 and Pauly have even started to kick around ideas for other artists he and Pauly can collaborate with. Any ideas?

We know that he's been in bed with Chelsea Handler, but the true nature of 50 Cent's relationship with the comedienne has never been clearly defined. Are they dating? Were they dating? Were they just friends? Did he wanna be more than just friends only to be shot down? It's all very unclear. In a recent interview with Vibe, Fiddy sort of clarified things. Okay, not at all. But he does admit that Chelsea Handler is a pretty awesome gal. Is it love? Friendship? Whatever it is, 50's got a thing for her. "Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person," the rapper tells the publication. "[Chelsea'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'd leave after talking with her feeling ...

Assuming, of course, they were ever truly an item to begin with. But whatever his relationship with Chelsea Handler actually is/was, 50 Cent sure knows how to keep folks rapping about...
