  • Finally! Power Returns July 1 and Is Already Renewed for Season 6

    Did you miss Ghost and Tommy and Tasha and the gang? (Not Kanan, though; no one misses Kanan.) I know I did. Well, they, and the hit Starz show Power, are all coming back on Sunday, July 1, at 9 p.m. If you’re pumped for the upcoming season 5, be prepared to be even more…

  • How Is 50 Cent the Luckiest Man Alive? Well, How Do You ‘Accidentally’ End Up Making Millions?

    Some people have all the luck, and there is nothing no one can ever do to convince me that 50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson III) isn’t one of those lucky-ass people. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that Mr. 50 is not a hard worker or supremely talented. I am saying that…

  • Watch: Who Should 50 Cent Cast in Power Next?

    If given the chance to shoot rapper-producer 50 Cent, what would you do? During press interviews for Den of Thieves, I asked 50 Cent and his co-stars, Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson and Pablo Schreiber, to show me their stellar acting skills. The result was a couple of iffy 50 Cent impersonations, and then 50 Cent…

  • Watch: Is 50 Cent a Bully or Nah?

    If you know 50 Cent, chances are you know he has a reputation for being a bully. His online presence and in-person demeanor are both intimidating, but it’s the former that causes the most trouble. But to have 50 Cent tell it, he’s not a bully! It’s learned and mirrored behavior from the people who…

  • 50 Cent Gets Big Dollars to Keep Power at Starz

    Well, I guess all you fans of the hit television show Power will have to keep that Starz subscription a little bit longer, because according to 50 Cent, the network just cut him a check so, so big, it gave him the shakes, ensuring that Ghost and … ummm … the rest of the characters…

  • 50 Cent Urges Fans to Cut the Cord With Starz, Takes His New Show to BET

    Rapper and producer 50 Cent, who doesn’t seem to function without having some sort of beef with someone, is at it with Starz this time. In response to the supposed disrespect that he has received from the network regarding Power, the show he executive-produces, Fiddy took to social media Sunday, according to the Jasmine Brand,…

  • Watch: Is Power Better TV Than Game of Thrones?

    There’s just something about the Starz TV drama Power that sticks to your ribs. It could be the beautiful cast (minus Angela—we hate her). Or the talented cameo stars (rest in peace, Charlie Murphy). Or our collective love of hate-watching little Tariq, who could be the worst son in the history of TV sons. Whatever…

  • I Love Starz’s Power, but I Hate All of These Characters

    Very few shows can entice me to spend more money on what already feels like an oppressive cable bill. However, when the press connect does not come through, I will circle back to Showtime in order to get my Homeland fix. But honestly (truly), no show really makes me hit “order” as fast as Starz’s…

  • 50 Cent Thinks Jay-Z’s 4:44 Is Golf Course Music

    50 Cent doesn’t think Jay-Z can be the best rapper at 47 years of age, and he also has a thing against smart rap. The rapper took to his own Instagram account to “review” 4:44 and throw in his two cents. “I listened to Jay shit, that ‘4:44’,” said 50 in a since-deleted Instagram post.…

  • 50 Cent Set to Produce Dramatic Series on Police Gangs 

    Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson may be a petulant ass-wipe, but he has still managed to stay rich, and even relevant. Among other things, he and his G-Unit Film & Television company will executive-produce a new drama, The Oath (working title), a 10-part series that delves into gangs. And no, we’re not talking about the Bloods…
