FIRST LOOK: THINGS FALL APART
Pics of Curtis Jackson (A.K.A. 50 Cent) were put out this week that show the rapper after having lost 50+ pounds to play a part in the new film, which he wrote, Things Fall Apart (directed by Mario Van Peebles). In the film, “Fitty” plays a college football player who is diagnosed with cancer.
Now, lesser writers are saying his new name should be 25 Cent. Personally, I think they’ve dropped the dime. I mean, Nickel please! But what do you guys think… a penny for your thoughts.
THE LIST

HA!! You’re a funny young buck. I’m pence-ive about leaving a comment, because I’m very busy rolling dough to make bread. Ugh that was terrible.

Good to see 50cent take his gig as an actor seriously. This is quite over-the-top and scary though.

Yeah… every actor I’ve ever heard talk about losing or gaining weight has said it has had long term effects. He said DeNiro, Bale and Hanks were his inspiration. I look forward to this though cuz he seems to be really vested even from a writng and producing aspect.

Don’t forget how emaciated Matt Damon got in Courage Under Fire. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.
I do love that you are concerned about him drastically losing weight affecting his health. The mans been shot 9 nine times. I think he’s gonna be here as long as he wants to be *wink*

A little Chappelle, you’re right.

I’m a HUGE fan of “fitty’s” music, and there is no question he fully commits to any endeavor he takes part in. I just hope the sacrifice is worth it.

We’ll see… passion projects go one of two ways.
