It was an exciting day on the Tyra Banks Show today when she was visited by two of the hottest male celebrities right now! She sat down with rapper, 50 Cent, who had some interesting things to say!
On his nickname "Fitty:" “Sharon Osbourne, she actually started ‘Fitty.’ She said that on the MTV Awards and it was just my new name.”
On how his weight gain led to the Vitamin Water deal: "I was training for my presentation for The Massacre album. I was traveling and I was eating a lot of fast food so I kind of got a little heavy. I was trying to find a substitute for soda and I came across it [vitamin water] actually in a gym in Los Angeles…It just worked out…I did pretty good.”
On child support and the custody of his son: "She took bad information to heart. At one point I was providing her a half a million dollars a year with out any court being involved…I’m really only responsible for him and that is what she found out after I was taken to court. Her friend told her in New York state law you’re entitled to 17% but that’s up until $80,000…She looked at the Forbes and goes, ‘You robbing me… My son, he’s so much like me. I have to be careful with how I express how I feel about that because I’m talking about his mother.”
On being in the spotlight: "I’ve been blessed not to be in a space where I’m overwhelmed with the success. I think it’s a fair trade in exchange for not worrying about the light bill I have people ask me to sign pieces of paper and it doesn’t bother me very much. When someone wants to take my picture and I don’t want my picture taken it’s fine. I say to myself that there will be a point where no one’s taking my picture and I’ll be upset about it.”
Seann William Scott was also on the show where he revealed he’s a huge fan of America’s Next Top Model. He said: "Huge fan…I haven’t been caught up on this season but my favorite season is CariDee and Melrose…It’s awesome just because it’s entertaining and the girls are crazy.”
He also explained that he dated models in the past and believes that many of them are very insecure. I had to laugh when he said “don’t you think models are a little cuckoo for coco puffs?”
On using duct tapes for love scenes on film: "You have to pull like a buffalo bill. Remember, Buffalo Bill tucks his penis between his legs…I use duct tape…It’s part of my craft…I’m a bald eagle now.”
