We are of the opinion that 50 Cent can do pretty much whatever he wants to do on Twitter and people will follow.
WorldStarHipHop.com had some server issues recently and were shut down for almost an entire day. Twitterers were having withdrawal symptoms and went ballistic and ran to Twitter to talk about their lost.
Then along comes Curtis Jackson poking fun at WorldStarHipHop.com and egging on his Twitter followers to near hysteria. He tells Angie Martinez on Hot 97 that he was just having fun while still at the same time promoting ThisIs50.com. [AUDIO] Later on Q of the website called in to clear up the rumors.
50 Cent had even more fun on Twitter about two weeks ago when he urged his 3.8 million Twitter followers to invest in a company he was promoting. His fans responded immediately, purchasing $50 million worth of the penny stocks. The New York rapper made $8.7 million from those exchanges. That's some power.
But in 50's defense, he should have a problem with World Star, because the company used his image to build their viral video website that rivals Media Takeout in popularity.
• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.
• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”
• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
