And by "beard" of course we're referring to 50 Cent's butch, new facial hair. The campy gangsta rap superstar shows off his new beard ... and the fabulous Better Midler at last night's benefit for the Divine Miss M's New York Restoration Project.
The guest list included a who's who of gay fabulousity—such Andre Leon Talley and Tim Gunn, who probably approved of 50 Cent's Gucci shirt and belt. Oh and Dolly Parton, too. I'm loving this new look and crowd for Fiddy.
50 Cent and Bette collaborated on the development of a public garden in his childhood neighborhood in Jamaica, Queens. Bette Midler recently talked about going in the studio with Fiddy for another collaboration: To sing jazz duets. "It’ll be the little Jewish lady and the great big rapper. He’s such a doll. I love him. He’s gorgeous. I was hoping we’d sing songs from the Depression."
WHEN YOU JUMP, close-ups of 50 Cent's new beard, the menu and the invitation.
LOLMBAO @ "Beards"" w
You ain't never lied baby lol

Awww don't they look cute together.
50 Cents finally is embracing his inner gay and hanging out with fags hags...awwww

50 Cent is NOT gay.
He is too much homophobe and was dating Ciara and Vivica.
Sorry Rod now matter how much you want him to be hanging out with Bette Midler and Tim Gunn doesnt mean he is gay.

I just threw up a little in my mouth....

Tre, DL gay men are some of the worst homophobes out there. I don't know whether or not 50 cent is gay, but your reasoning is not proof that he isn't gay.
Posted by: Ravenback | 20 May 2009 at 20:12
Bette Midler certainly is kicking it well. She's more fabolous than Fiddy cent.
Posted by: Kevin Perez | 20 May 2009 at 20:27
Next up, Fiddy will be "kicking it" at Gay Prides!

You deserve an award for that alone!

Oh really? Those are about the only two women Fiddy been linked to...and Ciara also dated Bow Wow. She's like the Penelope Cruz of hip hop.
But yea...I would say hanging with Bette and Tim Gunn is pretty gayish, no?

good for him. he's got millions of dollars. it's time to leave the foolishness alone and pursue more adult activities.
i'm no 50 cent fan but i'm sure some of you have mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters who have called a few folks "fags" over the years. occasionally the moral indignation and relentless attacks by some of you wear me out. breath people. have a light moment every now and again...

@ Tre:
Are you for real? Gay bashing thugs are some of the biggest closet cases. That's why they are so vocal!! It's called 'projecting'. But you really don't have any proof he is straight either so it matters not ...
Oh and yeah, lighten up. A 'beard' and Better Midler? Too mf'ing funny.

I'll cosign Mechadude and say you are once again carrying on. Fiddy Beards with Better, love it and love that you keep me laughing.
@ Freeleo:
I agree. I am not a 50 fan but he looks very happy and comfortable here. No shooting or violence and he can relax. I hope he does make record with Bette and come sto gay pride, the children would love him if he just dropped the act.

Give the guy some credit for trying to 'grow up' and act responsibly.
Posted by: Brien | 21 May 2009 at 06:39
he looks really good. has a healthy look about him.
Posted by: Chris | 21 May 2009 at 07:28
I was hoping that they'd collaborate on a remake of Bette's song "Big Socks".
Posted by: Dewitt | 21 May 2009 at 08:50
While I loathe that stuff he calls music, the whole genre for that fact, and the lyrics of it, he is actually kinda handsome with the beard, the one on his face!
Posted by: Luther | 21 May 2009 at 09:38
Does this mean 50 will be a honarary Harlette? When will he be fitted for his fish tail costume?
Posted by: Dluv | 21 May 2009 at 09:57
now do you really want to see that big man in a fishtail costume, dluv? lol
Posted by: FREELEO | 21 May 2009 at 10:38
If 50 puts on a fishtail costume, does that mean Kanye will swim after him?
Posted by: Jim | 21 May 2009 at 11:07
LOL.. yes..then eat him as he should....
Posted by: FREELEO | 21 May 2009 at 12:18
Bette found out he was gay. So she is showing him the ropes.
@ Tre... he's gay and everyone else in Gay-Unit is too. It's a fact!
Posted by: ATLboi | 21 May 2009 at 12:23
@atlboi
just because you say it's a fact doesn't make it so. i'm going to need to see the footage you shot when you were being passed around by the unit to see which one you fit best. who was the best g?
Posted by: FREELEO | 21 May 2009 at 12:39
