After his epic death scene on CSI and time in the ring for Complex, it’s clear that Justin Bieber likes get in on some action. So it wasn’t too surprising when he and 50 Cent escorted infamous boxer Floyd Mayweather to the ring at the beginning of Mayweather’s fight against Miguel Cotto. The “Boyfriend” singer kept his cool as he entered the packed MGM Grand Arena carrying two of the boxer’s title belts.And after 12 rounds of toe-to-toe boxing, Bieber was so excited by Mayweather’s unanimous win and hopped into the ring to congratulate and pose for a few photos with the WBA super welterweight title winner.

Does Bieb’s fun for boxing mean that we’re going to see him in the ring anytime soon? Tell us what you think in on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.

Tupac‘s hologram might be the rapper everyone’s talking about this week, but he’s got nothing on The Forbes Five, a shortlist of the five wealthiest artists in hip-hop compiled by Forbes. This year’s lucky five fellows (maybe next year, Nicki Minaj) includes Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Birdman, 50 Cent and Diddy, who comes out on top with a net worth of $550 million. According to Forbes, he gets that bank by his endorsement deal with Ciroc Vodka, his clothing lines, his marketing firms, his music label, and his tech start-ups. The article makes no mention of his music contributing to his fortune — ouch — but says he could enter billionaire territory when he launches his own TV channel Revolt in 2013. When can we get an updated version of “I Get Money (Forbes 1 2 3 Billionaire Remix)” with Dre and Birdman dropping a few boastful verses?

This morning Eminem tweeted a link to a landing page for his Shady Records South By Southwest showcase, which will go down on Friday, March 16 during the Austin music fest. On the bill: 50 Cent (who is slated to perform his album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ live for the first time), Em’s VIBE cover co-star Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, Big K.R.I.T., Schoolboy Q, Action Bronson, Don Trip, S.T.S. and The Foodchain. Absent from the roster is Slim Shady himself. More fuel to the fire that he’ll be taking the stage during Jay-Z’s own gig at SXSW next week?

When 50 Cent isn’t writing Facebook manifestos about the importance of helping those in need by supporting his energy drink, he’s releasing parody videos in promotion of his energy drink. Fiddy paired up with Floyd Mayweather to film their own mini version of The Hangover, complete with a cameo from one of the movie’s stars, Mike Tyson. In the clip, the boys drink too much of 50′s Street King drink, and end up having one wild night on the town. This is just Part 1, so consider that either a promise or a threat for additional installments of this saga.

50 Cent wants to feed 1 billion hungry people and according to his new commercial, he needs “your energy” to do it. That’s why the rapper/actor/author‘s latest endeavor is the Street King energy shot. The Twitter lover‘s philanthropic caffeinated beverage will give a portion of its proceeds to Pure Growth Partners to benefit victims of Africa’s famine. Below watch Curtis’ ad and see the Setup star as he brings SK to Times Square by way of a double decker bus.

Dev’s been turning out the lights on more than one rapper lately. After releasing a version of her dimly-it club banger featuring Flo Rida, now she’s got 50 Cent dancing “In The Dark,” too, in this latest version of the Cataracts-produced tune. With her debut LP The Night The Sun Came Up dropping in just about a month, the “Perfect Match” songbird is definitely poised to pop, and some rhymes by 50 Cent sure can’t hurt. Hear the recent Idolator interviewee’s latest remix below.

As guest verses go, this one’s pretty standard: “We can get to actin’ naughty, I’ll explore your body/ Music playin’ with the lights out.” It fits the tone of this party jam.

How do you feel about 50 Cent joining Dev’s lights-out party?

After all the teases for Nicole Scherzinger and 50 Cent’s “Right There” music video, the clip has finally premiered. The song serves as the maybe-X Factor judge‘s first US single off forthcoming debut solo LP Killer Love. Head below to see if you think Pussycat Doll Nic and 50 are all killer or just filler in the colorful Paul Hunter-directed extravaganza!

For the record, we were big fans of Nicole’s two recent European singles, “Poison” and “Don’t Hold Your Breath” (particularly the latter). And while “Right There” is a decent enough jam, it doesn’t hold a candle to the dreamy DHYB.

Anyway, on with the video! Here we have Nicole marching around the concrete jungle that is Los Angeles while wearing various sexy outfits and busting a wide array of dance moves. And gotta love that product placement! (Yes, we see you, prominently-placed Belvedere bottle!)

Meanwhile, Fiddy spits rhymes like, “I like it when you’re freaky, I’m freaky / I’ll explore your body completely!” Poetry, pop fans. Pure poetry.

Things eventually erupt into a sultry dance party as Nicole and her ladies shake and grind in what appears to be an empty warehouse space-turned-nightclub.

All in all, “Right There” is upbeat, fun and breezy — everything that a springtime pop video should be.

What do you think of Nicole’s “Right There” clip? Is this a decent single to finally launch her debut solo album with?

You may already be familiar with Nicole Scherzinger’s “Right There”, off her solo album Killer Love – the song has already been released in Europe – but we bet you haven’t laid ears on the version featuring rapper/actor/snow shoveler 50 Cent. Listen to Nic’s new single below.

Nicole Scherzinger feat. 50 Cent - Right There

Not sure how much Fiddy adds to this song, but adding a superfluous rap verse to your pop song never seems to go out of style. All the better to make your mark on as many charts as possible, my dear!

What do you think of Nic and 50′s collab? Tell us below.

David Guetta has pretty much collaborated with everyone at this point, there’s no reason to leave 50 Cent out of the party. Their new dance track, “Bullshit & Party”, is rumored to be from Guetta’s next album, and it may be the most uptempo song Fiddy’s ever recorded. Wave your glowsticks to the frenetic rave-friendly jam after the jump.

“All we do is bullshit and party around the globe on world tour,” raps 50 on the explicative-laced (but pumped up) track. Does starring in genre movies count as bullshitting or partying?

50 Cent collaborating with David Guetta on a dance/trance track might be eye-raising, but it’s nowhere near as “Huh?” worthy than the news that Fiddy is launching his own comedy website, This Is 50 Comedy. We’re not sure what to expect, but we’d love to find out that his Twitter feed is just a huge joke.

[Via Rap-Up]

Nicole Scherzinger nabbed 50 Cent for the U.S. release of her new single, “Right There”, off her new album Killer Love. The duo shot the Paul Hunter-directed video in Downtown L.A., but by the look of the giant hooded snow jacket Nicole’s wearing in this on-set twitpic, you’d think they were in Downtown Mongolia. After the jump, catch Nic and Fiddy talking to MTV about their new vid.

“I wanted to kinda keep the video pretty simple because I wanted it iconic,” Scherzinger told MTV. “The way you get iconic pictures and memorable videos is just by keeping it simple. So we’re in downtown L.A., and we’re just wearing super-fly colors, and we’re just feelin’ it. Right now, we just shot a scene, it’s just us against the blue skies — it’s beautiful and we’re just feeling the song.”

Here’s the song, minus Fiddy, which is already out in Europe:

:: Carson Daly is tweetin’ mad that he is required by Britney Spears’ management to pre-record his interview with the pop star, and hand over his tapes so Team Britney can edit it to their liking. He says most interviews are “never that restricted. Even when I interviewed Michael Jackson, it wasn’t anything like this… it’s really insane.” [Prophet Blog]

:: Lil Wayne admits in a recent radio interview on Hot 97 that he has yet to hear Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday or Drake’s Thank Me Later. His excuse? “I work too hard.” Weezy, you’re even featured on Drake’s LP! Maybe take a half hour break and give it a listen. [Rap-Up]

After watching 50 Cent’s unintentionally hilarious Things Fall Apart trailer, the rapper’s next movie looks like Citizen Kane by comparison. Fiddy stars in diamond heist flick Setup, co-starring Ryan Phillippe, Bruce Willis and a bunch of generic action-thriller baddies. Between his rap career, his snow-shoveling business and his pro-bono work offending people on Twitter, where does 50 Cent find time to be in all these movies? Setup trailer below.

Be prepared for more Fiddy on the big-screen — he’s got at least three more movies to be released in the next year. Yay?
