How you 50cent and going broke ?
November 30, 2008. The failing economy is hitting everyone - even top selling rappers. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that rapper 50 Cent is talking openly about his financial situation to the press.
Here's an excerpt from an article in The Canadian Press:
When 50 Cent put the 4,650-square-metre house up for sale, the listing mentioned its six kitchens, 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms. 50 Cent's additions included a 40-person hot tub and some of his own personal designer touches - like stripper poles.
He's been trying to sell it for US$18.5 million for more than a year now, and every night that he sleeps in the monster mansion he's reminded of Tyson's fall from grace.
"I'm waking up in a room that was previously Mike Tyson's bedroom, a fighter who earned over US$500 million in his actual career, and when I purchased his house from him he was in bankruptcy," he said.
"If that's not a strong enough reminder for you, I don't know what's going to remind you to be aware of where you are financially and make conscious decisions."
He's very aware of the downturn in the global markets and admits he's worried about watching his money disappear, even though he's got lots more of it hanging around.
"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."
MediaTakeOut.com heard rumors that 50's pockets were real light before the Vitamin Water deal. Hopefully he ain't go through that money yet!!!
Oh Hell No. Real Or Fake?: Some Guy Sucker Punches His Girl In The Face!

Porsche is buying a Tesla Roadster
Porsche has placed an order for a Tesla Roadster. Rumor has it that the German automaker is much more impressed with the Tesla Roadster, Silicon Valley's first electric sports car, than it's own lithium ion-powered E-Ruf electric 911. So in order to compete they are doing what all great companies do when their engineers and business minds can't get it right; buy, copy and steal everything!
More pictures of the Tesla Roadster below...

Trya Banks Anti-Capitalism?
Tyra Banks in her hay-day
Tyra is clearly under the illusion that her brainchild “America’s Next Top Model” which has reached an all time low in ratings and “The Tyra Banks Show” will keep her bank accounts fat. I give Tyra another year before she reneges on her anti-capitalist position!

Chamillionaire Set to Release "Venom"
Rapper Chamillionaire is ready to spit “Venom,” his third album set to be released from his new record label Chamillitary/Universal Republic Records early next year. After winning a Grammy for the hit song “Ridin'," and being crowned the biggest selling ring tone artist ever, Chamillionaire went on hiatus from the rap scene, only to regroup and launch what may be one of the biggest selling albums of 2009. With a new label that is also home to recently signed artists Lil’ Jon, Amy Winehouse, Damian Marley, Stephen Marley and India Arie, Chamillionaire is ready to top his previous successes. As his name implies "Change", the album is likely to showcase a new style and side of Chamillionaire we have yet to see. With the re-release of lil' Wayne's "The Carter III," also scheduled to hit stores early next year, Chamillionaire's "Venom" will need to be potent enough to compete.

Tyler Perry settles with WGA West
Deal, announced Wednesday, came after five months of negotiations. The WGA West played hardball with the indie mogul in October, sending pickets to the opening of Perry's new studio facility in Atlanta.
The guild also accused Perry of firing four scribes around the same time because they were pushing for WGA coverage. Perry denied the charge, saying the four were let go because he was unhappy with the quality of their work on "Payne" and the upcoming spinoff "Browns" (Daily Variety, Oct. 3).

WGA acknowledged in announced the pact that it does not involve the reinstatement of the four scribes, three of whom were WGA members.
At the time the WGA went public with its fight against Perry, the guild said Perry and his biz reps were resisting the WGA's contract terms. Perry's reps countered that the talks has snagged on a narrow issue of residual payments to writers if the shows' reruns were to air on broadcast TV. ("House of Payne" has aired in both first-run syndication and on TBS.)
Vic Bulluck, exec director of the NAACP's Hollywood bureau, was credited by the guild and Perry as being "instrumental" in helping the sides bridge the gap after the October skirmishes. Attorney Matt Johnson, of Ziffren Brittenham, handled the negotiations for Tyler Perry Studios.
Perry and WGA West prexy Patric Verrone emphasized the unique role that Perry plays in the biz as a prominent African-American multihyphenate and one of the few truly indie producers. Perry finances and owns both TBS series outright.
"With a continued focus on fostering young, diverse talent, we are eager to continue our dialogue with the WGA to dramatically increase the number of minority writers working in Hollywood today," Perry said in a statement.
Verrone cited Perry's impressive track record in film and TV "at a time when true independent producers like Mr. Perry are rare in this business."
Perry noted the WGA deal comes after he has already completed deals with SAG, DGA, Teamsters and IATSE. Perry, who writes and directs his feature films, is a member of SAG and DGA but not WGA.
WOMAN LEAVES HUSBAND TO GO TO BATHROOM DURING FOOTBALL GAME ... MEETS MAN ON THE WAY .... HAS WILD PUBLIC SEX WITH HIM IN THE STALL ... GETS ARRESTED
A 38-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man turned to a handicapped stall for their tryst Saturday evening.
On the field, the Hawkeyes were on their way to 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers. In the restroom, a crowd of intoxicated fans gathered to cheer the off-the-field event.
Eventually, a security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police. Officers had to interrupt the couple to cite them for indecent conduct, a misdemeanor.
Police Chief Greg Hestness said the woman initially gave a false name to officers. She was released to her husband and the man was released to his girlfriend.
Both people in the stall were intoxicated.
