50 Sheds 50

Maybe his new name should be "Buck-Fifty"? Entertainment Weekly reports that 50 Cent has shed over 50lbs for his role in the straight-to-DVD movie "Things Fall Apart", directed by Mario Van Peebles (and they included the frightening picture to the right).
For a movie that will likely go straight to DVD, 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) made a hell of a sacrifice. Usually the MC looks like an NFL linebacker. But for his starring role in the Mario Van Peebles-directed Things Fall Apart, a movie he wrote, 50 dropped 54 pounds to play a college football player battling cancer.

Here's hoping someone has a sandwich waiting for him the second shooting wraps.
