50 Cent has lost an astounding 54lbs to play the role of a cancer patient in the upcoming film ‘Things Fall Apart’. The rapper turned actor fell from 214lbs to 160lbs over a 9 week period for the movie. However, now that he is back on tour, he is working to regain the weight and retrieve his former size. {Source}

Wow! This is the kind of dedication that 50 Cent should be giving to his almost nonexistent music career. Having not had a hit in quite some time, many may wonder why he hasn’t taken similar extreme measures toward developing the quality material that he so desperately needs. However, if there is one thing that 50 Cent knows how to do is survive so maybe he has something major planned to help him return to the top of the charts. Again: wow!

With the release of Christina Aguilera‘s new LP ‘Bionic’ drawing ever nearer (June 8th), all eyes will no doubt be on the record’s first week tally.

While such scrutiny is a given considering Christina’s position as a major recording artist, it’s undoubtedly heightened by the drama surrounding the project as of late (cancelled tour, flop single, and a leak a full two weeks prior to release). So with that said, we’re eager to hear what first week numbers you think Ms. Aguilera is on-course for…

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger will no doubt be celebrating today after winning Dancing With The Stars 2010.

Scherzinger, 31, clinched the title after besting  Olympic skater Evan Lysacek in the show’s  final (its 10th week).

Speaking on her win, she said:

‘I feel like I just won a Grammy; a dancing Grammy!

This has been probably the greatest reward personally, this whole personal journey.

‘I’ve learned so much about myself. [Dance partner] Derek Hough made me a better person through this.’

Notoriously critical judge, Len Goodman said of her win,

‘There can only be one winner of Dancing With The Stars, and it should be you.’

Nicole scored the highest marks for her final dance – the Jive, which you can watch below. In any case, congrats are most certainly in order for her. Here’s hoping she can use this as a springboard to greater successes (granted she starts putting out at least half-decent music)
