50 Cent’s Drastic Weight Loss
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Sports, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Tattoos aren’t the only thing 50 Cent has been shedding for his film career. The rapper-turned-actor dropped the pounds as well.
To play a football star stricken with cancer in Things Fall Apart, the 34-year-old (real name Curtis Jackson) hit the treadmill for up to 3 hours a day. His 54-lb weight loss - he went from 214 to 160 - was also achieved through a liquid diet.
“I was starving,” the committed actor said about his regimen.
The Mario Van Peebles-directed project was inspired by a friend of the musician’s who died of cancer. In fact, the movie was also co-written by Jackson.

Disappearing Star Christian Bale
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Biopics, Thrillers, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Christian Bale keeps pulling a Bruce Wayne on the set of his new movie, frequently disappearing on set.
The actor has bemused co-stars on his new movie The Fighter, which he is filming in Massachusetts with Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adam, with his insistence on “getting into character” and refusing to be seen when he isn’t filming.
A source told E!: “You only see him when it’s time for his scenes. Other than that, no one has any idea where he is. He just goes missing.”
Bale is determined to accurately portray former crack addict Dicky Eklund in the movie, which follows the life of boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward, and has stunned people with his appearance.
The source explained: “Christian has lost almost as much weight as he did for The Machinist. He is so gaunt. They have even thinned his hair—he just looks sickly.”

Find the Weight on Penelope Cruz
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Musicals, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Let me start by saying that I agree with actress Nia Vardalos. Too much emphasis is placed on women and weight in Hollywood. But every once in a while, I come across a story like this and I can’t help but laugh.
During the production of Nine, several of the cast members were asked to gain weight for their roles in the musical. According to singer Fergie, it was suggested by director Rob Marshall that she and Penelope Cruz each add on 17 pounds. “We were eating our brains out. We ordered everything fried and full of fat and salty,” she told Allure magazine.
While it’s easy to see from the trailer that the Black Eye Peas performer did reach at least part of her goal (I highly doubt that was 17 pounds), I’ve been struggling to see - from any angle - what the Oscar-winner put on. Can anyone help me?
