50 CENT geht auf Schauspielkollege los
LOS ANGELES - 50 Cent soll einen Schauspielkollegen angegriffen haben. Der Rapper soll am Set von "Righteous Kill" auf Frank John Hughes losgegangen sein. Laut amerikanischen Medienberichten war der Auslöser des Streits wohl ein eine kleine Diskussion, nachdem Hughes 50 Cent in Sachen Text verbessert hatte. Dies konnte sich der Rapper natürlich nicht gefallen lassen, brach deshalb zuerst einen Streit vom Zaun und ging dann auf Hughes los. Angeblich musste sogar der Notarzt gerufen werden. Ein Insider sagte dazu: "50 Cent hat Frank zu Boden geschlagen. Die Sanitäter haben sich Frank angesehen, es geht ihm gut. Alle anderen sind aber ziemlich fertig."
In "Righteous Kill" spielt 50 Cent übrigens einen Drogendealer, der Polizisten bei ihrer Jagd nach einem Serienkiller hilfreich zur Seite steht.

Rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson appears to be as much of a gangster on camera as he is off - and actor Frank John Hughes found that out first hand. MediaTakeOut.com has exclusively learned that the two got into a physical confrontation on the set of their new movie Righteous Kill.
According to a person who witnessed the incident, 50 Cent and Frank Hughes (photo'd below) got into a heated argument when the actor confronted 50 about not knowing his lines. And the argument reportedly turned physical. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "Frank tried to correct [50 Cent] and he got really upset ... Before it was all over [50 Cent] had Frank on the ground pummeling him."
And while Frank appears to have survived the mauling, the rest of the cast and crew haven't. Our insider continued, "The paramedics looked at Frank and he's OK. It's everyone else here that's still shaken up .... No one is trying to get on [50 Cent's] bad side."

50 Cent Raves About Acting Alongside Robert De Niro, Al Pacino In 'RK"
Rapper denies reports that he was involved in an on-set scuffle: 'It was actually a fight scene in the film.'
Reports that rapper Curtis Jackson assaulted a co-star on the set of his new film "Righteous Kill" are untrue, he told MTV News — and for proof all anybody needs to do is check out his bottom line.
Look, he didn't rename himself 50 Cent for nothing.
"You know how much that would cost?" he joked, dismissing reports that he came to blows with actor Frank John Hughes after being called out for not knowing his lines. "It was actually a fight scene in the film — so expand it, get a little bit of controversy going so people [will be] be interested."
It's an unusually self-aware answer for a controversial figure some may view as a loose cannon. But it's precisely that hyper-awareness of his own public persona that helps him fit in so well on the set of "Righteous Kill," he said. Consider that among the cast, co-stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have won three Oscars, while 50 has been in three movies. Ever.
But if his august co-stars had any initial bias toward his acting abilities, they don't anymore, he grinned.
"I think they got a perception of hip-hop artists based on the things in the past — previous artists, they came through and had a different attitude. I'm not sure if those artists even had the opportunity to meet Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, but just [from] being on movie sets [they influence perception]," 50 said. "After interacting with me, they see something different."
50 plays Spider, a nightclub owner who finds himself tangled up in the chase between two old detectives (De Niro and Pacino) and a serial killer who leaves poems about his crimes near his victims. And he has great scenes with both, Fif teased.
"I've worked with them," he enthused. "It's exciting. The whole thing is a great experience."
But, more importantly perhaps, it's been a learning experience as well. How could it not be with two acting legends hanging around on set?
"It was definitely cool just being around them, away from actually performing on camera," 50 gushed. "De Niro, I've been to his house, met his wife. We've been to the firing range a couple times together."
And Pacino? Turns out even the most self-aware of people can learn something about how to interact with their own image.
"For me, I just wanted to make sure that I was 100 percent comfortable with the actual scene — I'd look at myself," 50 said of his acting process. "[But] he won't look at himself after he does the scenes, Al Pacino won't. He's like, 'I know how I look.' "
For news on how 50 looks, though, you'll have to wait until the movie hits theaters next year, he said, a coy smile on his face.
"I feel good about my performance," he said. "I want everybody to go see it and be excited."
