What If 50 Cent Were British ???

A new account @English50Cent answers that burning question.

@English50Cent attempts to translate 50 Cent's (@50Cent) tweets using the Queen's English.

Just like this:

Real 50: My baby moma sent me nude pics. Damn I aint eat all day cause of that. What is the world coming too
English 50: The mother of my child has sent me naked pictures of herself which I found distasteful. I also worry about the future of mankind.

Real 50: Soulja and fab kicked it they cool now aint no more beef you cock suckers have a nice day lol
English 50: Soulja and Fab have reconciled their differences, but have run out of meat. Warm regards to my homosexual followers. *laughs*

In the News :: Jay-Z Tops Forbes List of Richest Rappers

Jay-Z has topped Forbes magazine's annual list of the highest-earning hip-hop stars. The hip-hop mogul/rapper raked in an impressive $63 million over the past year. That's over twice as much as his nearest competitor, Diddy. Jay-Z also cashed in $28 million more than he made last year.

Kanye West slipped from third place (in 2009) to 10th with an estimated $12 million.

It is a bit surprising to read names like Diddy, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Especially since they haven't had a huge hit in awhile.

Here's the full list:

1. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter
2. Sean "Diddy" Combs
3. Aliuane "Akon" Thiam
4. Dwayne "Lil Wayne" Carter
5. Andre "Dr. Dre" Young
6. Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges
7. Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus
8. Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley
9. Pharrell Williams
10. Kanye West
11. Aubrey "Drake" Graham
12. Clifford "T.I." Harris
13. Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean
14. Marshall "Eminem" Mathers/Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson (tie)
16. Jay "Young Jeezy" Jenkins
17. Lonnie "Common" Lynn Jr.
18. DeAndre "Soulja Boy" Way/Faheem "T-Pain" Najm (tie)
20. Jonathan "Lil Jon" Smith/Radric "Gucci Mane" Davis/William "Rick Ross" Roberts (tie)

50 Cent's Dramatic Weight Loss

Images of 50 Cent debuted last week that showed the musclebound rapper über svelte. 50 lost a lot of weight to play a football player diagnosed with cancer in the upcoming film Things Fall Apart.

50 dropped from 214 pounds to 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks.

50 Cent: "I was starving. I've been eating. I'll be back in shape in no time!"

I guess 50 is really taking the acting craft to heart.

The Case of 50 Cent and the Vanishing Tattoos

Tattoos are a thing of the past for rapper 50 Cent. The tattoo ink that graced album and magazine covers isn't serving him well in as an actor. So, 50 has slowly removed them with costly laser removal procedures.

50 has removed some of his iconic arm tattoos, because they were not only limiting the roles he could play on film, but having them covered up for movies was getting to be a pain.

50 Cent: "[Laser removal] cuts down on the amount of time I have to spend in makeup covering them up."

Last year, 50 said he would have to arrive on set four hours earlier than the other actors just to get the ink covered up. Some roles wouldn't withstand the industry's heaviest makeup.

50 Cent: "When you're a fighter, you're sweating, [and] with a whole bunch of make-up on and stuff like that, it doesn't look real to me."

The one tattoo 50 wants to keep is the giant "50 Cent" on his back.
