50 Cent Now Just A Nickel?

No I am not talking about such a drastic economic downturn that two quarters is now only worth a nickel...I am referring to rapper 50 Cent's recent weight loss of over fifty pounds for a movie role. The usually super swole 50 Cent typically carries a weight of 210-215 pounds and has dropped to a mere 160lbs to portray a college football star who becomes stricken with cancer in an upcoming film.

Apparently 50 went on a liquid diet for three months to be able to drop this weight. I hope he's getting paid some serious cash for this role because the damage he's done to his metabolism and potentially some of his organs is not something to mess around with. Being malnourished is just as bad as being over nourished and obese...

Good luck 50 with the role and unless you're planning on playing an Etheopian in Black Hawk Down 2, I suggest putting that muscle back on quick!
