The studio, the cinema, the boardroom, the arena, the vitaminwater um, fountain... is there any arena or venue 50 Cent hasn't yet conquered? The list gets even shorter this September 7, when he adds "cable television" to his resume, as the host of "50's Picks" on Starz Edge, and "50 on 50" on Starz InBlack.
The Starz-50xtravaganza kicks off on Friday, September 7 at 9 pm EST, with an airing of "The Professional," and will continue through September 16 with all of Curtis Jackson's favorite flicks to ever hit the big screen, including "Rush Hour," "Carlito's Way," and "He Got Game."
Also on Friday, September 7: the first episode of "50 on 50," his original 30-minute video show, debuts at 11 pm on Starz InBlack.
This is all smart timing for Mr. Jackson, because - in the unlikely event that you have forgotten - his next album, Curtis, drops September 11. In the album-sales chess game currently ensuing between 50 and Kanye West - who are releasing their new records on the same day - the 50's Starz coup probably cops a pawn. Your move, Kon.
The "50's Picks" schedule:
Friday, Sept. 7 at 9 p.m. - The Professional
Saturday, Sept. 8 at 9 p.m. - Rush Hour
Sunday, Sept. 9 at 9 p.m. - Carlito's Way
Monday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. - He Got Game
Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. - The Professional
Saturday, Sept. 15 at 9 p.m. - Carlito's Way
Saturday, Sept. 15 at 11:30 p.m. - Rush Hour
Sunday, Sept. 16 at 1:15 a.m. - He Got Game
