Heavy on the acting grind, 50 Cent is teaming up with the big dogs for his next on-screen venture. The rapper-turned-actor, who proved his dedication to character after losing 60 pounds for his role in Things Fall Apart, will star opposite one of Hollywood’s leading ladies in a new film.
50 has joined the cast of the ensemble drama Lives of the Saints, co-starring Meg Ryan, John Lithgow, Joe Anderson, and Kat Dennings, reports Variety.
Written and directed by Chris Rossi, the film tells the story of “a group of Angelenos seeking redemption for past mistakes, only to find that forgiveness comes from unlikely places.” The flick, which begins shooting in Los Angeles on November 13, also features Kevin Zegers, Anthony Anderson, and Esai Morales.
Plot Summary:
A stint in prison usually has one of two effects on a man — it either breaks him down or makes him stronger. For Driver (Dwayne Johnson), a 10-year sentence proved the latter. His strength was not just fueled by time, but also by a hunger to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his own imprisonment. Untouchable on the ‘inside,’ he made plenty of enemies in prison – men who were counting the days until his release so they could exact their own revenge on the outside. Now, on the day of his release, he is hell-bent on reaping vengeance upon the four men responsible for his brother’s murder.
With a list of names and addresses in hand, he sprints out of the prison gates and is immediately on his mission.
No regard for witnesses. No finesse to the acts. One down. Check. Within hours of Driver eliminating the first name on the list, two men are on his trail — Cop (Billy Bob Thornton), a veteran police officer just days from retirement, and Killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing. The hunter is now also the hunted.
A DuPage County jury has awarded $11.5 million to a Bolingbrook woman who lost her unborn baby and her small intestine because of negligence by staff at Edward Hospital in Naperville, the woman’s attorney said today.
Sistas are always busy! Now a truly bizarre episode that should’ve alerted the robber to an impending ass kickin’ didn’t even register in his small brain.
He was going to try and rob A BEAUTY SALON! C’Mon Son! Of all places? If this sister wasn’t a cop, he still would’ve gotten his ass whooped.
But one sister had to get up from her press and curl to handle some ignant teenager trying to rob the very people making sure her hair is tight for a day of crime fighting. (more…)

Say it ain’t so! Antoine Dodson is trying his best to hold on to his new fame…and doing a good job I might add! No matter how ridiculous we think he may be, he’s definitely keeping himself busy in front of the camera.
The newest appeal to this outrageously flamboyant character is his Halloween costume.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Jigga talked about what the rap game’s been missing.
“For us, this is the music that saved a generation. So there’s a big responsibility for those who it saved to make sure that thing is intact for the next generation. We’re the first generation that really took advantage of it, starting with Puff [Daddy] and Master P, guys who really made a name and became successful as entrepreneurs,
Even more than that, when you’re under attack so much as a genre [as hip hop is], you’re forced to come together. But probably the last time we really came together on something was working for Obama, lending our voice and the people we had toward that campaign. Whether he does a great job or not is almost secondary to what it did for the dreams and the hopes of an entire race. Just based on that alone, it’s a success, the biggest we’ve had. Period. To date. It’s Martin Luther King’s dream realized. Tangible. In the flesh. You can shake his hand.
We have to find our way back to true emotion. This is going to sound so sappy, but love is the only thing that stands the test of time. “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” was all about love. Andre 3000, “The Love Below.” Even NWA, at its core, that was about love for a neighborhood.
We’re chasing a lot of sounds now, but I’m not hearing anyone’s real voice. The emotion of where you are in your life. The mortgage scandal. People losing their jobs. I want to hear about that.”
