50 Cent is trying to be the next Donald Trump.

He’s landed his own reality show modeled after ‘The Apprentice’ called The Money & The Power.

Fiddy is looking to find “the next person who can change nothing into something and be the new game changer.”

And in keeping with the Don, Fiddy even has his own exit line for those who don’t make the cut.

“Get the f**k outta here.”

The show premieres on MTV on November 6th.

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell after they used his name in a marketing ploy to advertise their prices.

Taco Bell President Greg Creed officially asked the rapper to change his name from 50 Cent to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent and promised $10K to his favorite charity if he agreed. He wrote,

“We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”

You had to admit, it was funny, but you knew he would never do it.

Well Fiddy isn’t laughing. He’s pissed that his fans are accusing him of being a sellout and he feels the company used his name to sell their products. He’s asking for $1 million.

Lawsuit documents read,

“Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.”

I’m sure Taco Bell is still loving all this attention. A piddly million was completely worth all the advertising they got from this – and then some.

A new video has surfaced on YouTube which may have caught a glimpse of 50 Cent and a couple friends doing blow backstage while in Europe.

A news crew walked into his dressing room area without announcing it or knocking, and you see Fiddy and pals hovering over a coffee table as though they are divvying up the goods. As the camera approached, one of the guys puts his hand out and tells the crew to back out of the room, which they do. A moment later Fiddy appears for the interview.

It’s a little hard to say what’s going on in the video for sure, but I think they were definitely indulging a little. I mean, check them out over that table. That little table – with them all leaning in towards it. Yeah, they’re snorting the shit.

Britney Spears at 50 Cent’s record release party at The Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas

Britney Spears doesn’t seem to be worried about whether or not she will wow everyone at the opening of this years MTV Video Music Awards.

Britney hung out with fellow party girl Paris Hilton, as well as P. Diddy and 50 Cent after checking out Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere show.  She hit at least three Vegas clubs, dancing, drinking and partying until after 3 am.

Will all the cigarettes booze and late nights compromise her performance tonight?  My guess is that she will lip-sync, and that no, it will not jump start a comeback for her.

Blender has these 33 things you probably don’t know about 50 Cent.

1 • His mother dealt drugs to support him
Sabrina Jackson gave birth to Curtis on July 6, 1975. She was 15. “She wanted to provide for me, but she didn’t see Burger King as an option,” 50 says. “She found other means: hustling.” His grandmother would mind him for weeks on end. “My mama substituted presents for time: Every time I seen her, it was Christmas.”

2 • She told him he’d been an immaculate conception
“One day I asked her, ‘Mama, why don’t I have a father?’” he recalls. “She said, ‘You was an immaculate conception, like Jesus.’ She was just trying to make me feel special.”

3 • To this day, he’s never met his dad
“I don’t know who he was, and I have no interest in knowing,” he says. “I mean, it’s a source of regret. He could have helped me in life. But that period has passed.”

4 • Before he was 50 Cent, he was Boo-Boo
“My aunt used to say, ‘Come here, Boo-Boo!’ and it just stuck.” Was it hard to command respect on the streets with a name so cuddly? “It’s scarier that way,” 50 says. “If someone calls themselves Terminator, you’re like, ‘Yeah, right!’”

5 • In 1994, he was sentenced to prison for possession of 280 grams of crack and 4 ounces of heroin
To avoid hard time, he enrolled in New York’s Shock Incarceration program: boot camp for felons. For six months upstate, he awoke at 5:30 A.M., did push-ups on his knuckles and sawed trees.

6 • His mom swung both ways
50 Cent recalls: “I ain’t see males around my mom. My mama liked women. But I would never see anything that would make me think something sexual was going on. It didn’t dawn on me till later.”

7 • When 50 was 8, his mother was murdered
Sabrina kept her own apartment across town. In 1983, someone drugged her and turned on her gas oven, leaving her to die. “When they found her, her body was fucked up,” 50 later recalled. Today, he says, “My biggest loss was my mom. Everything that went wrong was wrong because she wasn’t there — if I wanted to go to the park and it started raining, it was raining ’cause my mother wasn’t there.”

8 • He followed in her drug-dealing footsteps just four years later
With 50, his grandparents and eight aunts and uncles all under one roof, money was tight. “Hustling was the only option,” he explains. “I wasn’t thinking about a career. I was looking for instant gratification.”

9 • He says his aunts and uncles were his first customers …
“They’d have parties, and at the time, cocaine was like marijuana — it was common. I’d say, ‘Yo, I’ll go pick it up for you,’ then run to the side of the house where I put it in a little bag. It went from there to me hustling from 3 to 6 P.M. every day. My grandparents thought I was in an after-school program.”

10 • … but one uncle’s addiction almost got 50 killed
A complaint kept arising — his bags were light. He says he discovered his uncle Star had been dipping into his stash. “If the guys I had been selling light bags to thought I was cheating them on purpose, they would have killed me,” he later wrote in his autobiography. He beat his uncle with a giant wooden fork in reprisal. “To this day, Star and I don’t speak much.”

11 • Even without giant utensils, he packed a killer right hook
When 50 was 14, an older neighborhood dealer opened up a small boxing gym for local kids. “When I wasn’t killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip,” 50 recalled. He took what he learned in the ring out onto the streets: “At the slightest infraction, I was punching someone in the face.”

12 • He lost his virginity at age 12
“It went well — I was 12 and she was 21!” he says, grinning. “I spent a night at my friend’s house, and his sister had her friend staying over, too. So I started to touch on her. I was a horny little dog, and I got away with it.”

13 • His secret stash spot? Women’s panties!
One morning, when he was 19, 50 was out hustling with the help of a girlfriend when the cops swooped in. “When they searched her, they found 36 vials of crack and 12 packs of heroin in her underwear,” he later recalled.

14 • The streets were 50’s business school. There were hostile takeovers …
At Shock, 50 met a stick-up kid from Brooklyn named Jah. “When we got out, I brought him into my area to rob all the dealers who weren’t part of my group. I said, ‘You can have all the money, just give me their pieces.’”

15 • … special promotions …
“I would take the pieces from Jah and give them away free with every purchase. So even if the fiends catch a sale with someone else, they would go, ‘Nah, I can get this for free!’”

16 • … and market saturation
“When there’s money to be made, there’s no hours, no going home,” 50 says. “In the music business, I adapt the same concepts. When it’s not 50 Cent’s album, it’s the G-Unit album. When it’s not Young Buck, it’s Lloyd Banks. I’m here constantly.”

17 • His next brush with the law involved a high-speed motor­cycle chase — and cross-dressing
Shortly after his release, 50 was mis­taken for a murder suspect who owned a motorcycle similar to his. When a squad car tried to stop 50 on Queens’s Guy Brewer Boulevard, he fled, escaping only after several squad cars and a helicopter had given chase. He snuck into his grandmother’s house, donned a dress and a wig, and slipped past patrolmen outside. “They must have been like, ‘Damn, that’s an ugly bitch,’” 50 jokes. The real murderer was apprehended later that day.

18 • He’s a pretty easygoing dad
Does 50 let 10-year-old Marquise listen to his music? “Of course. If I say something a little racy, I’ll be like, ‘You know what that means?’ and he’ll be like, ‘Yeah.’ He already knows. The kids know. The problem is that their parents aren’t asking them the questions. I went into his room the other night and he was on this porno site — big-booty girls. He was like, ‘I just clicked a link!’ Kids are gonna be kids, man.”

19 • A Queens hip-hop legend gave him his big break
The same year Marquise was born, in 1997, 50 Cent met Run-D.M.C.’s Jam Master Jay at a club. A childhood fan of Rakim, 50 had written only one rhyme, in 1995, for fun — “I don’t remember it exactly, but it was street,” he says. Jay was impressed by his singsong delivery and by his story, and brought 50 into his fold.

20 • Well, it was almost his big break
Things moved quickly: Jay brought 50 to the attention of Columbia Records, they signed him, he recorded an album, then … nothing. “When I met Jay, I wasn’t a starving artist,” 50 says. “But right after I committed to music, I starved.” To keep up with the bills, he returned to hustling.

21 • He became a papa in 1997 — and started working on his crack-game exit strategy
When then-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins gave birth to his son Marquise, 50 quit dealing. As he puts it: “My mama’s motivation to get into the game was my motivation to get out.”

22 • OK, scratch that. A paid assassin gave him his big break
On May 24, 2000, a gunman shot 50 Cent nine times in front of his grandmother’s house. In his autobiography, 50 hints that the hit came about because he’d insulted drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, but when asked explicitly in interviews about McGriff’s involvement, 50 has demurred. Either way, he was hospitalized, Columbia dropped him — and, unbeknownst to him, his glorious future was guaranteed.

23 • His next mentor was … “Weird Al”?
With a head full of new rhymes and no label to release them, 50 Cent turned to New York’s mix-tape circuit. Instead of filling the samizdat titles with throwaway rhymes, he approached them like albums: “I wrote my freestyles in song format.” He also recorded parodies of hits. As he put it later, “I took the ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic approach.”

24 • After he got shot, he began wearing a bulletproof vest — and still wears one today
When 50 started booking shows, advertising his whereabouts made him nervous. “I wore a vest ’cause I knew it could pop off,” he explains. During 50’s first tour, Marquise wore one, too.

25 • Eminem heard one of 50’s mix tapes, flew him to L.A. and, with Dr. Dre, signed him to a million-dollar deal
“I was at the airport to go see them when my vest set off the metal detector,” 50 recalls. A TSA supervisor who’d heard his songs let him through anyway. “If they hadn’t let me take the vest, I probably wouldn’t have gone.”

26 • His is the fastest-selling debut of all time
In its first week, 2003’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ sold nearly 900,000 copies — and did it again in week two.

27 • He’s available for Bar mitzvahs!
“The last Bar Mitzvah I booked, I got paid $500,000 for 30 minutes,” 50 explains. “That’s not a fixed rate, but it’s in the ballpark.”

28 • He collects his own brand of sneakers
“I got 500 pairs,” he says. “All G-Unit. A bunch of different colors, limited editions. Tony Yayo is a size over me, but he’ll squeeze his feet into mine and borrow them.”

29 • He likes George Bush
After Kanye West railed on Dubya post-Katrina, 50 defended the prez, calling him a “gangsta.”

30 • He keeps his most revealing music for himself
On 2005’s “Hate It or Love It,” 50 rapped about his mother’s bisexuality — but that was an exception. “You don’t want to be too complex,” he says. “I have records that I wrote for myself, and they’re playing on my computer at home. Sort of like a diary. But I’m not gonna waste the public’s time with them.”

31 • He’s buddies with Robert de Niro
50’s burgeoning acting career has been respectable — the autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin’; the war flick Home of the Brave — if not spectacularly successful. But his biggest role yet is ahead of him, starring opposite De Niro in the upcoming thriller New Orleans. “He invited me to his house — gave me that De Niro look, sizing me up,” 50 says. “But I passed the test.”

32 • His new album has one hell of a guest list
Curtis, which 50 says will include several returns to the street-hardened, wisecracking “old 50,” also features collaborations with Akon, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Mary J. Blige and Justin Timberlake. “Basically,” 50 explains, “it’s one of my best pieces of work.”

33 • Next stop: retirement!
… Sort of. 50 has alluded to leaving rap behind once his five-record contract expires. “I’ll put out albums like Dre, every five years or every seven,” he clarifies. “I enjoy rapping, but there’s so much more out there.”
