50 Cent to Lose 65 Lbs. for Film Role

50 centRapper/actor 50 Cent has announced that he will be dropping 65lbs. for an upcoming film role. The project, titled 'Things Fall Apart,' is being produced by 50's film company Cheetah Vision Films.

50 is set to play the lead character in the film, a high school football star who is stricken with cancer during his senior year. In order to convincingly depict the sick teen, 50 will be working to shed a large amount of weight from his atlas-like build, which is no small feat.

"Fifty is in the process of losing 65 pounds for the role," Randall Emmett, co-producer of 'Things Fall Apart,' confirmed in a recent interview.

The movie also stars Lynn Whitfield, comedian Mike P and Steve Eastin, alongside film vet Mario Van Peebles, who will also be directing.

Beforehe begins shooting, 50 will set out on a European tour in support of his latest album, 'Before I Self Destruct,' which began last night in Berlin and wraps on April 4 in Moscow.

Oh Alice really are you serious. Get over it he's the President, where are your credentials. Seriously don't hate the playas hate da game in slang term. So keep doing you and they will continue doing what they're doing without the first thought of a ALICE.

I hope he's got a Dr. or two monitoring him while he's dropping that much weight...

Why even acknowledge anyone making a racist comment? its only feeding into what the ignorant fools want, a fight.

I personaly dont like Obama, I didnt like Bush either, so dont go there. George created a lot of this mess, true. Obama on the other hand hasnt done a whole lot to fix anything and has most rightiously screwed some things up. I dont think any President has ever managed to live up to his campaign promises, the closest that one ever came was Kennedy. Kennedy was from a much simpler time though, his values were different. Obama tried to emulate Kennedy, the problem with that Kennedy had experience, both in politics and in the Navy. I'm not a Vet nor have I ever served but I do believe a military background makes a better President. Obamas biggest problem is lack of experience, and this isnt the career for on the job training.

I usually never leave comments, but i think i can speak for many people who may read these posts when i say alice, you are one ignorant b*tch..... and as much as people like yourself may try and criticize me because i called you out.. there is no denying that its so cslled "normal" people like yourself that keep this country from progressing. If you think that rap music isnt normal music, then i have no idea what part of the country youre from...... maybe if you took the time to leave your trailor park, barn, or cave even... you would realize that diversity is the fabric of this country. I feel sorry for people like yourself.... you will continue to be an uneducated fool even if you received formal education from an ivy league... and do you want to know why?? Because it seems like where you come from it is considered normal to screw your cousins, brothers, fathers and uncles. it is "normal" to think inside the box, not out of it. It is "normal" to be a carbon copy dimwit of the last president im sure you voted in for both the 2000 and the 2004 election. So your hillbilly trash opinion of what "normal" really is isnt really normal at all..... at least to the people who have any real clue as to what real life is.... so the next time you decide to be yourself and write so stupid sh*t like you did, think twice.... because this is one of Obamas people speaking directly to you and i am way more educated and cultured than you and whoever else agrees with you ever will be and so is my president..... now let that sink in and play an eminem album while youre at it.

Yall, what does Obama have to do with 50 cents new movie. Why is he the center of everyone's conversation. "My coffee is too dark, blame Obama" seriously. Get off his nutts! He is no worse than Bush was. Its like you ppl are never satisfied. What da Hell yall want? 50 cent probably didnt even vote, he could give 2Fucks about some damn taxes and healthcare. We should comment on his movie... 50, you are too damn old to play a high school student. Not convincing! but he should do something because his raps suck ass!

To drop 65lbs is going to be very hard for 50 Cent.I don't understand how he is going to convincingly depict a senior in high school.How old is he anyway?He doesn't look that young.The movie sounds interesting.I guess i'll have to wait until the movie comes out to see how he looks.

Alice is obviously trolling for reactions. Don't feed the trolls people. Leave it alone. Let little friendless Alice have her fun the only way she knows how; by playing on the computer.
Oh, and PIMP: that's what I was thinking. He looks a little old to play a high school kid.
