As if 50 Cent really needed anymore money. Turns out the rapper and multi-millionaire has written a new movie.

We didn't even know he could write anything except for rap lyrics.

But Fifty actually signed a deal recently with producer Richard Jackson to make three of his screenplays into movies.

According to Fifty, "When you write a song, you need to say it in three minutes or it is overkill, but I like creating stories and going in depth with characters."

The first flick is set to start production next month and will actually star Fifty and Val Kilmer.

We're just as surprised.

The flick deals with Fifty and Val in the world of illegal weapons dealing, and appropriately is called The Gun.

Notice anything different about 50 Cent's arms??

The rapper has removed all of his tattoos!!

Ouch!!!!

With 50's acting career expanding, he quickly grew tired of the time-consuming tattoo-covering process!

"I’ve been on a few acting projects and they been making me get up… My call time is four hours before the regular acting talent because of the tattoos," says the rapper.

50's currently filming a boxing movie with Nic Cage, and realized "it doesn't look real" when you're playing a fighter with a load of makeup applied to your arms.

Seriously!

Despite their difficult breakup, Vivica A. Fox and 50 Cent have made amends!

The actress visited the set of Fitty's video for his new single on Governors Island, but there is no word on whether it is a romantic reconciliation! She once chided their relationship by referring to it as "ghetto love."

We're not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound promising!

"They were very cordial and friendly," claims a source. "I guess the animosity has faded."

It was probably a platonic visit, considering Vivica has a taste for the much younger model!

Rawr!

With Rihanna's new album Rated R being released on November 23rd, the singer and her people are doing everything they can to make sure it's a success, especially after the mixed reaction the first few singles have received. AND also considering that so many artists are releasing their albums that same day like Adam Lambert, Shakira, and even our lovely Lady GaGa.

So RiRi has teamed up with Nokia to do something special.

On November 16th, Nokia will stream a live performance of Rihanna in London for fans to get an exclusive first listen of her album!

The event will allow viewers to preview tracks from RiRi's record and the whole thing will be done from a secret location in London.

In addition to watching this live performance, Nokia will also be offering an exclusive version of the album via their Nokia Music store.

Rihanna has stated, "I am so excited to partner up with Nokia. They are doing some really revolutionary things with this album, enabling me to reach more fans than ever before.”

CLICK HERE to go register for the live event.

We can't wait to check it out!

Well, after you've been shot, we guess you feel the need to have a ridiculous amount of security.

In a recent interview, 50 Cent revealed that he throws down $20,000 A WEEK just on security!

He explains: “My home is surrounded by cameras. I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me. You get all these crazy lawsuits and I need cameras to check on things.”

At least he knows no teenage hoodlum thieves are coming after his place!

Oh, boo hoo!

Rapper 50 Cent revealed that even he has been hit by the recession losing "a few million" from his fortune. He's also had to change some of his spending habits, mainly his penchant for jewelry.

"I buy diamonds on a very regular basis, but now I am selling my old stuff before I get something new. These are times when you learn about the value of money.

If you don't lose money in this recession, it means you didn't have enough to start off with. Sure, I lost a few million, but that's because I have so much. This is a time that will sort out the strong from the weak."

In fact, 50 is so confident in his money-handling abilities he confidently states:

"Any businessman who wants a piece of the future should learn from me. Obama is great. If he wants me as his financial adviser that would be cool."

We seriously doubt the President would have the same reaction.

Sources are saying that while 50 Cent was filming his new video for Baby By Me, he was getting a little friendly with a former Child - Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland!

We hear things got pretty "steamy" on set of the video and that it may have led to a "bit of a fling."

Yeah, neither one of those two could probably do any better than the other.

What do U think, do they make a good couple?

Say what?

Most people are familiar with the classic tale of Dr. Jekyll, who creates a potion that transforms him into his younger, more violent alter-ego Mr. Hyde. The concept has been done a trillion times before in movies, but now we can look forward to seeing two new faces bring the story to life:

Forest Whitaker & 50 Cent. (Or does he want to be called Curtis Jackson now with all this film work he is getting?)

Though much about the production has been kept a secret, Forest revealed in a recent interview that a new draft of the script has just been handed in and casting will find Forest in the role of Dr. Jekyll and Fiddy in the role of Mr. Hyde. Forest says:

"It's also [an interesting script] because we are dealing with similar things. You know, this Jekyll has a lot of issues and problems personally, himself. Hidden passions, hidden perversions — and it's acted out by 50."

We don't know if we can get behind this. It's been done and while we know Forest will bring something big to table, we know Fiddy will not.

Stick with your music. You're at least decent with that.

Will U go see this movie?

Remember that garbage 50 Cent spouted off about GaGa and Kanye's ill-fated "Fame Kills" tour???

We believe his exact words were, "Ah, the gay tour."

Well, Gagita feels sorry for the homophobe!

When asked about his ridiculous comment, GaGa told reporters, "I think it's sad — and I think that nobody in any genre of music should accommodate homophobia."

Took the words right out of our mouth!
