I can’t really say that Jay-Z’s thoughts on gay marriage were the most concise endorsement of the human rights agenda, but Jay – to his credit – got the ball rolling, and now more and more black entertainers are coming out in support of gay marriage. In the Jay-Z story, I gave my reasons for why I thought it was important for black entertainers and prominent, respected African-Americans to speak out in favor of gay rights – go here to read it. So, 50 Cent has now joined the fray. And surprisingly enough, he comes out in support of gay marriage, saying in part:

“I’m cool. I would like people to actually be happy. Technically I don’t see where it fits into any religion. The Bible that they would read to marry you, it doesn’t have anything in it that says same-sex. If it does, then I would like someone to point out that interpretation. I’ve encouraged same-sex activities. I’ve engaged in fetish areas a couple times. I’m for it. I’m wondering if I’m bad for promoting it when the president says it’s fine.”

“I think everyone should be happy. I think a fool is going to go against same sex marriage at this point… Look how long it took him [Obama] to say he was for same sex marriages. You understand? I’m up for it. If everyone else is for it, then hey, to each his own. I don’t have personal feelings towards it because I’m not involved in that lifestyle. I want people to be happy. It makes for everything to be better.”

But of course, 50 giveth and 50 taketh away. In the same interview, 50 Cent claimed: “We need organisations for straight men. We do. We need organisations for straight men in the case you’ve been on the elevator and somebody decides they want to grab your little buns. Times are changing. Those organizations are set up for at one point they were being attacked for those choices. Now its completely different. Obviously [homosexuality] is more socially accepted.” *insert John Travolta joke*

Of course, 50 Cent has a long history of homophobic comments, some of which kind of border on hate speech and the promotion of anti-gay violence. GLAAD issued a fatwa against him back in 2010, that’s how bad it got. So… is this a whole new 50 Cent? Is he just finding out that gay rights are trendy now? Or did he just have a gradual change of heart? I don’t even know. Eh.

Last year, Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent began “dating”. No one really knew if they were actually dating or if they were just doing some kind of mutual stunt queen thing. They posed for Twit-pics together, and even got a pap’d a few times. The romance, real or fake, was short-lived however. I know, shocking. Who would have thought that a racist drunk and an A-list rapper wouldn’t be able to work in the long run?

So Chelsea and 50 split up or whatever, and almost immediately Chelsea began “dating” Andre Balazs. I actually think Chelsea really likes Andre, and she’s reportedly been very possessive of him when they’re out at parties. But Chelsea couldn’t just let the 50 Cent “breakup” go, and Us Weekly had a suspiciously Chelsea-friendly article about how Chelsea had left 50 “heartbroken” after their split.

Now 50 Cent covers the new issue of Vibe, and he sets the record straight about Chelsea. Part of it is a compliment… part of it is not.

“Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person. She’s the kind of person that if you’re blessed with the opportunity to hang out with her, you’ll enjoy it. I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and f-ck her, but you might. You would leave after talking with her feeling that she is a cool person.”

“I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and f-ck her, but you might.” So… 50 Cent is saying Chelsea is a fun person to get wasted and coked up with, but that she’s the opposite of sexy? Sounds about right.

For some reason, Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent were a couple for a few months. Don’t ask me when or why or how it started, because I don’t really care enough to look it up. Something happened, and all of a sudden Chelsea was making news, blah, blah. I wouldn’t consider 50 Cent a man of standards, but even I thought he probably could have found some better, even if it was just a PR relationship between famewhores. Anyway, earlier this week, Page Six (and other outlets) reported that Chelsea was snuggled up with Andre Balazs, best known as a hotelier who dated Uma Thurman and Courtney Love (allegedly). So… now we get to hear about how Chelsea and 50 Cent broke up:

Comedian, TV host…man-eater? A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Chelsea Handler dumped 50 Cent just before the holidays, leaving the 35-year-old rapper “heartbroken.”

Determined to win her back, 50 Cent — who was first spotted canoodling with the Chelsea Lately host in October — “spent Christmas sending her gifts, but she sent them back. She put a note on one that said, ‘I can buy my own gifts.’”

Though both Handler, 35, and 50 Cent recently attended the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, a reconciliation was the last thing on the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang author’s mind.

According to an eyewitness, Handler had already set her sights on Uma Thurman’s ex, hotelier Andre Balazs, 54. “They snuck kisses” at Bing Bar on January 22, the source says of the two. Handler and Balazs were later spotted partying at Tao before leaving together at 2:30 a.m.

“Chelsea and Andre are dating,” a Handler pal confirms to Us. “He’s exactly her type.”

[From Us Weekly]

Eh, sure. Do I think Chelsea dumped 50? Sure, why not? I’ll also buy that 50 was trying to fancy up his girl with some pretty things. Of course, he was probably sending junk to lots of girls. And 50 will probably be nursing his broken soul in the arms of random girls for the next year, trying to get over the heartbreak of being dumped by Chelsea Handler. Don’t feel bad, 50! One of the last guy she dumped was her boss, right after he got her a big four-year contract. At least 50 didn’t have a four-year contract on that ass.

Chelsea Handler is ready to go public with her relationship with 50 Cent. She tweeted a photo of the two of them in bed, along with the caption “I don’t know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper.”

Chelsea also made her characteristically boring deadpan jokes center around her relationship with 50. On her show last night, while talking about the end of her “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” book tour, she quipped “The biggest changes that happened over the course of the tour actually took place inside me. Literally. My love life became as ridiculous as a comic book. When the tour began, I was dating Superman. [cut to picture of Ted Harbert in Superman suit], then I dated Tarzan [cut to picture of that Animal Planet dude with a loincloth], and finally I ended up with Batman, aka ‘The Dark Knight’ [cut to picture of her kissing 50 Cent]. See you in the bat cave, ‘ma boo.” (Video of that is above)

You know, I’m going to say something nice. They look really happy together. Chelsea bugs the crap out of me, and so does 50 in his way, but these two found each other and they seem to be in lust, so good for them. Chelsea has talked about 50 before, but never called him anything more than her ‘friend.’ It looks like he’s thrilled that she’s ready to admit they’re together. Maybe Chelsea will tone down her meanness now that she’s getting laid. No, I doubt it either.

Chelsea Handler was a guest on The Tonight Show last night. She was promoting her E! show and she made a lot of lame jokes, including some about race, as is typical for her. She brought up the fact that she was dating 50 cent by quipping that she would have brought him with her on vacation, only he can’t swim. Here’s part of what she told Jay, thanks to E! You can watch her interview in two parts on Hulu and a segment is above.

On her vacation with Jennifer Aniston
“She was sweet enough to take me on vacation with her. I was trying not to get photographed next to her in a bathing suit, for obvious reasons,” Chelsea said Tuesday on The Tonight Show. “So I did a lot of stuff on my own.”

Like drink?

“It’s not even cute! I was probably trying to bend over and pick up a margarita,” Chelsea lambasted Jay Leno as he insisted upon cutting to a shot of the funnylady’s bikini-clad butt. “You know how I feel about my margaritas, Jay!”

But because she loves beach vacations, it might be a while before she’s ever caught sipping margaritas with 50 Cent.

She brings up 50 Cent without any prompting from Jay
“I can’t bring 50 Cent with me, ’cause he’s not a strong swimmer,” she joked, adding that her friend has not met her family. Because, as she pointed out again, he’s just her friend.

“It’s Fiddy Cent, isn’t it?” Jay asked.

“I don’t know, I call him Curtis when we’re having sex,” Chelsea deadpanned. “No, but he does have a real name. His name is Curtis. Curtis…I don’t know, I should find out.”

Jay also asked Chelsea about her brief relationship with animal expert Dave Salmoni.

“We just did not have anything else to talk about,” she laughed. “No, he’s a really nice guy…It was a short relationship, you know, in and out.”

[From E! Online]

Was it racist to say that 50 is “not a strong swimmer?” She said it and then looked to the audience for laughs, so I do think she meant it as a joke about his race. Then she made another lame joke after the break that she was “looking over at your band and noticed there are hardly any white guys. They must have heard I was coming. Thank you. Oh there you are, hi whitey!”

This woman is not funny, she’s rude and she makes stupid jokes about race all the time. Somehow she still has an E! talk show though, and she’s friends with Jennifer Aniston. What do they say about the company you keep? I hope Jay had her on due to a last minute cancellation.

50 comes in at 1:20
I first noticed 15 year-old YouTube lip syncing sensation Keenan Cahill when he did a fascinating version of Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. You just can’t stop staring at this kid and his wacky expressions. Keenan’s Teenage Dream cover has been viewed over 15 million times and boasts over 66 million views on his YouTube Channel.

Keenan was a guest on the Chelsea Handler show last night. He has a funny kind of irreverent personality and joked with Chelsea, calling her a cougar. They also premiered Keenan’s new video, “Down On Me” (By Jeremih featuring 50 Cent, here’s the original music video) styled to look like it was filmed in his messy bedroom. (Only the scenery was slightly different and Chelsea admitted they filmed it in LA). 50 Cent makes a cameo in the video lipsyncing his own part and he seems to be having a great time, at one point draping his necklace on Keenan. This almost makes up for all those photos 50 tweeted of himself playing with half a million in cash. It also makes it obvious that he’s dating Chelsea, but I guess we already knew that.

Keenan goes to school outside of Chicago, IL. He has a metabolic syndrome called Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome, which is responsible for his short stature. He told Chelsea that kids recognize him in school thanks to his Internet fame and that he has people giving him high fives and asking to take his picture. I would love to see this kid on some red carpets in the future.

50 Cent isn’t getting enough attention for impersonating his dog, dating what’s her drunk-face, and being a homophobe, so he tweeted some photos of himself playing with 1/2 a million in cash. He should have gone for something more interesting, like diamonds, but he definitely wouldn’t have had as much bang for his buck. Adriana Lima’s diamond bra was worth four times that amount and she has great boobs to draw our eyes to the gems. You know, 50 could have just converted that money to dimes and nickels and then waded in it naked. That would have taken more planning though. As is is, he probably went to the bank and withdrew the money just for this little photo op.

Here are 50s pics in order from oldest to newest, along with the captions he tweeted.

I’m eating good baby and I’m still hungry. Lol

A half a mill for lunch anyone ?lol

I’m designing a house now I have a good idea. Lol

Who said I don’t have a heart. Lol

This is the life baby I’m going to Vegas to gamble with floyd ill double this quick.

Holy shit bat man I think I’m rich. Lol

I don’t know what I’m going to do today but I’m going to have fun. Do you believe me?

50 is only proving that all the money in the world can’t stave off boredom for a narcissist. It also can’t buy creativity, common sense, sensitivity or skill in photography.

Chelsea Handler, supposedly 35, is single again, having broken up with her boyfriend, the CEO of Comcast, right after she signed a three year, eight figure contract with E! (which is owned by Comcast). She’s since dated and broken up with a guy who works on Animal Planet. The acerbic comedian was spotted out on a date in New Orleans with none other than prolific foot-in-mouth twitterer, 50 Cent. TMZ has a photo of those two and it definitely looks like a date. What’s more is that 50 did an impromptu rap that night all about getting laid, with lines like “you can feel every inch” and “your sex drive can match my sex drive.”

50 Cent and Chelsea Handler went to a bar in New Orleans last night … and by the way they got up close and personal with each other, they gave some serious credibility to those dating rumors.

TMZ has obtained a photo of the two of them at the Blue Nile jazz bar in New Orleans — and one spy inside the joint tells us they were getting very hot and heavy with each other.

But before 50 got cozy with Chelsea, dude knocked out a live freestyle set with a local band at the club.

Check out the verse 50 busted out that night … it seems to be directed toward a special lady friend.

There are plenty of celebrities I don’t want to imagine having sex, with Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer immediately coming to mind. 50 Cent and Chelsea Handler are up at the top of the list now, though, and I’m grimacing as I write this. I dislike both of them, but they make sense in a way. Chelsea is a racist (although I’m sure she’ll use the “I have black boyfriends” excuse now) 50 Cent is a homophobe, and they both love dogs. I’m still making that “yuck” face, particularly in light of the topics that 50 has been tweeting about lately. Let’s hope these two either break up or try to keep their relationship quiet. Given Chelsea’s history, she’ll be making lame stereotypical jokes about 50 in no time. He’ll probably be flattered.

50 Cent really needs to stop tweeting. Last month, he tweeted a photo of two men in suits running away from a mob along with the message “Perez Hilton calld me douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better.” He deleted the photo and tweet but never commented on the controversy even after GLAAD called him out for it. Then last week, in what seems like a misguided attempt to recommend that more men perform oral sex on their women, he tweeted “If you a man and your over 25 and you don’t eat pu**y just kill your self damn it. The world will be a better place. Lol.” There are plenty of men over 25 who don’t do that, but 50 says he wasn’t referring to gay men and their “choice” of an “alternative lifestyle.”

The other night I made a joke about a blow job. My male followers enjoyed it. So I then went on to joke about women receiving the same. Some how they turned a simple joke about oral sex into a anti gay statement. I have nothing against people who choose and alternative lifestyle in fact iv publicly stated my mom loved women. It funny how people think negative statements are news worthy but positive statements are not worthy of coverage. Access holly wood for got to put laughing out loud lol that was at the end of that statement.

I guess this fool doesn’t have a management team that can convince him to stop tweeting and showing the world what a self-involved homophobic ass he is. His latest tweets are about how “cool” he is and while they seem tongue in cheek with the “Lol” at the end and all, they probably aren’t. “You know if you don’t like me something might be wrong with you. I just looked in the mirror and I’m cool man. I just checked again I’m cool for real man. I got all this swag I should sell some and get some more money. Lol” Yes, 50 has a lot of money. His net worth is estimated at $440 million dollars. It just goes to show that money can’t buy sense, class or tact. He needs a hobby other than tweeting.

So 50 cent has a lot of time on his hands and must be bored of talking smack about his rivals and tweeting hateful homophobic remarks. He’s started a Twitter account for his dog, and while I was prepared mock him my first impression was that it was sweet and funny and shows how much the guy loves his pooch. Then I saw these disturbing photos, which show it’s still the same old 50 with the same issues. The dog looks terrified! 50′s dog is called “Oprah Winfrey” (whom 50 blasted in 2006) and the Twitter account he’s set up is OprahTheDog.

This news comes via E! Online, which has a full recap of 50s tweets as the dog he alternately torments and loves. MTV has a quick overview of 50s tweets as Oprah the dog, which should suffice:

Yes, today we introduce you to one of Twitter’s newest users and the lady who has stolen our attention one update at a time this afternoon: 50 Cent’s dog, Oprah.

First of all, how incredibly awesome is it that 50 Cent even has a dog named Oprah? But perhaps more importantly, it’s extra amazing that 50 would go out of his way to give his pet a virtual voice. And she’s pretty active, too: In just 24 hours on Twitter, 50′s foul-mouthed pup has already revealed quite a lot to her more than 7,000 followers. To wit:

» She may have a broken leg and her owner is possibly responsible.

» She’d prefer a new owner.

» She’s not keen on doing tricks in exchange for treats.

» She doesn’t enjoy listening to 50′s music at full blast and doubts he’ll make another hit.

» She has been to the vet this morning (documented by two Twitpics).

» She relieved herself both before and after her vet visit.

Everything about these developments is entertaining. The fact that 50 has a dog named Oprah is magical, and the fact that not only does she tweet but she also doesn’t particularly like her owner is a truly amazing meta gag. The possibilities for future updates are endless, but we know 50, err, Oprah, will keep us entertained.

[From MTV]

50 tweets often on his main account and a quick scan shows that he’s usually bragging about how awesome and hardworking he is when he isn’t in a flamewar with someone. I guess one Twitter account wasn’t enough self expression and ego stroking for him.

Oprah is really cute and seems to be loved and well cared for when 50 isn’t using her as a prop to threaten with a knife. It’s clear that 50 needs some new hobbies other than tweeting. Maybe he should kill time in other ways, like gambling or playing violent video games.
