Winstead is suing for undisclosed damages and profits from the sales of 'Before I Self-Destruct.'

50 Cent Will Not Be Appearing In Eastenders

We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but bosses at Eastenders have quashed reports that 50 Cent will be given a cameo in the hit BBC soap.

Just as we were looking forward to Fiddy taking a trip to Albert Square, doing a spot of shopping on Walford Market or talking bling with Pat Butcher, the BBC have stated that the rapper will not be starring in the show.

Despite the Candy Shop rapper himself claiming that a one-off appearance had been organised with the soap opera, a spokesperson for the BBC has denied the reports, claiming it's not true.

A rep for the BBC stated: "We're flattered he's a fan, but there have been no talks about him appearing in the show,"

Fiddy had previously joked that his 'biggest showbiz dream' would been for Peggy Mitchell, played by Barbara Windsor to have thrown him out of the Square's boozer, The Vic but now it seems that Mr.Cent won't be walking the East End cobbles after all.

Fat Joe Lashes Out At 50 Cent

New York rapper Fat Joe has opened up about the issues he has with 50 Cent and claims that the G-Unit leader is a has-been and a liar.

Joe believes that Fiddy has gone downhill since his epic debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin' - which went on to sell 11 million copies.

He told MTV News US: "When he did that first interview dissing Fat Joe with you, with the candlelight’s and all that, he lied. When he said no one knows Fat Joe in Africa, I saw that interview from Africa and I had 70,000 people out there. There isn't a country I ain't touch in Africa.

"You talk about album sales; he went from selling 10 million albums to not even going gold this last album. So, he lost nine-and-a-half-million fans in four years. I don't really trip off him.

He also went to add that 50 Cent always finds the need to trouble other rappers and there isn’t hardly anyone out there that he hasn’t had ‘beef’ with:

“The latest one he's going at: P Diddy. He has beef with Jadakiss, he has beef with Cam'ron. Anybody we consider dope in New York, he has went at them. There ain't nobody he ain't touch. Fat Joe ain't out here trying to battle-rap everybody in the world."

MUSICAL DUO 50 Cent and Ciara have re-ignited rumours of a relationship after the pair were spotted shopping for household items.
The couple visited the aptly titled, Love Sac furniture store in California and were pictured leaving a few hours later with bags filled with bedroom furnishings.
The manager of the ‘alternative furniture company’ confirmed their purchases on social networking site, Twitter.
Under the profile name ShawnyD, he tweeted: “Ciara and 50 Cent are proud new owners of 2 pillow sacs, 2 earth covers, and 2 rockers… just popped into our Northridge, CA LoveSac store”
Rumours first surfaced about their romance in 2007 following the release of Ciara’s steamy video for song ‘Can’t Leave ‘Em Alone’ where she and 50 cent appear naked.
It was reported that the music icons had taken their romance off screen and started dating in secret.
The couple have made every effort to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. A year after the rumours first rumours surfaced, 50 Cent told gossip site, Young Hollywood that there was not in a relationship with the 22-year-old singer. He said: “We’re friends. I appeared with her on a song and they ran with that. It wasn’t bad because she’s an attractive woman so I didn’t mind”
Their latest shopping trip will do nothing to dispel these rumours.

Scots singer gets expert advice from rap superstar 50 Cent



AN unknown Scots singer is being schooled in the gangsta lifestyle by one of the world's top experts - 50 Cent.
Cambuslang's David John was hand-picked by Fiddy to support the rap megastar on his recent UK tour dates.
And he received an incredible insight into the behind-the-scenes glamour and high-rolling life he may one day enjoy if he hits the big time thanks to the help of his new pal - when Fiddy invited him to join him In Da Club post-gig.
David said: "Fiddy and I hung out in the clubs for a while after the shows and he must have had about 20 women round him.
"He was so down to earth but every night he'd walk in with G-Unit's Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo with 20 different chicks.
"That guy is gangsta. I was the only UK support act and was in with them every day of the UK tour."
David, 26, admits he was blown away by the reality of the rap star lifestyle, and Fiddy was keen to coach him in how best to make the most of the life he will soon be leading himself - by taking it easy.
The legend's tips paid off too - David soon had girls tossing their undies at him.
He said: "I thought I pretty much knew everything before I went on tour with Fifty, but it definitely opened my eyes to see what it's like to be at the top of your game.
"He told me 'What you've got to do is chill and relax more and do your thing. You've got lovers and haters, but do your thing no matter what anyone says. You're creating music from scratch and that's what it's all about. Just go out and perform'.
"I did that and got a few teddy bears and pairs of underwear when I was walking into the lobby of our hotel in Ireland."
David was asked to join Fiddy on his UK tour after being discovered by a New York music scout when he was strumming along with a pal on holiday in Lanzarote.
Fiddy and his pals at Violator Records were impressed by his soulful, Motown-inspired sound and swooped to book him.
David, who is signed to Pure Chuffed Records, working in conjunction with Violator, now releases his debut single Mrs Vegas for download via iTunes on April 20 and his debut album, The New King of Scotland, later in the year.
Having come a long way since singing with pop group Right Now, David is planning to visit Fiddy - and they are discussing a collaboration.
He said: "I might hook up with Fiddy in the US when he gets back.
"I'm sending him a few track ideas and I'll take it from there.
"I'll focus on the first and second single and hopefully a collaboration will come in the near future."
