50 Cent has just completed a deal for his film company that will give it $200 million dollars to fund a 10-picture deal.
Cheetah Vision Films, Randall Emmet and George Furla's Hedge Fund Partners have signed off on a deal that will allow 50 to expand his ever growing film resume.
Healthcare magnate Richard Jackson, real estate developer Gary Sakwa and Daniel Ret will provide the equity remainder of the fund. Grindstone/Lionsgate will distribute the films.
The first movie out of the gate will be 'Set Up', an action heist movie that starts shooting next month. Paul Walker is in talks to star alongside 50 in the movie.
Fif recently linked up with Paul of the set of 'The Fast and Furious 5'. You know business was at the top of the agenda.
'Set Up' revolves around a group of friends involved in a diamond heist that takes a deadly turn.
"The thing about '50 Cent' is that, just like in his music career, he isn't someone who sits around and waits for things to get done. He came to me and said, 'How do we move quicker on projects?' With this new fund, we are able to do that. It's very hard to raise equity today and we are lucky to have such great partners, including the amazing team of Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb of Grindstone and Joe Drake and Helen Kim at Lionsgate," Emmett told Variety.
Under the deal, the films will have a budget of around $20 million dollars each.
Fif and Richard Jackson have also teamed with Emmet and Furla's, Emmet/Furla films, for the movie 'Catch 44', which stars Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker and Malin Ackerman,
50's taking over the big screen, keep it locked here for more news as it becomes available.

Video After The JumpA teacher at a Tennessee school melted down and ended up in the hospital, with a possible nervous breakdown after he couldn't get the students to be quiet.Donald Wood, a 15-year math teacher, seven of those at McGavock High School in Nashville, Tennessee started flipping over tables and throwing chairs when his 11th grade class got so unruly he couldn't take it anymore.
The incident was caught on a cell phone camera.
"Shut Up!," he told them, looking like Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining."
That just made the students laugh even louder.
"If you can be absolutely quiet, if you can shut your mouths," Wood says. "If you can shut your mouths and you can listen... in absolute silence. Do you know why? Because I have the power... I've got it, and I know it.
He then asks a student, "do you want another table?", before flipping one over.
"Do you know who started the fire in this schoo!?" he asks, obviously melting down at this point "no. me!." Then starts picking up and slamming chairs to the ground.
At that point, students start running from the classroom.
Wood later went to the principal's office, and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
You would think a teacher with 15 years experience would be able to control a classroom better than that. The students were obviously out of control and had no respect for him.
How about sending the unruly ones to the principal's office? Maybe start handing out suspensions?
I think we're lucky that this teacher, who totally lost it mentally didn't do anything worse than throw tables and chairs.

Kim doesn't have a record to promote, but she still went "butt a**" in the November issue of W magazine.
The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star can be seen wearing nothing but silver body paint, in the pics that have leaked onto the internet.
I'm guessing she's feeling more comfortable posing nude this time around. According to Kim, she felt uncomfortable shooting for Playboy in 2007.
"I'm sorry I did Playboy. I was uncomfortable," she told Harper's Bazaar her mom pushed her into doing it.
"Go for it. They might never ask you again. Our show isn't on the air yet. No one knows who you are. Do it and you'll have these beautiful pictures to look at when you're my age," Kim's mom supposedly told her.
Whatever the reason, we were grateful then and now.
The new issue of W hits stands October 13.
Video After The JumpPercy "Master P" Miller has written, produced and starred in more than a dozen movies. Evidently Gucci Mane is very impressed with what he's seen from the former No Limit Soldier, as he's enlisted P to help get his film career started."Me and P, we're doing two movies," Gucci told MTV. "That's a field I never got into, movies, that I want to get into. So I wanted to get some money with somebody I want to, so I reached out to him. Cause I got my sack up. My boys they wanna do movies. So why not do it and keep it in house with somebody I respect."
Linking up with P was easy according to Gucci.
"I just walked up to him and told him, like I'm talking to you. That's how I am. I'm an open book," Gucci said.
So there yo have it, Gucci Mane coming to a screen near you very soon.

First Kanye West recruited Lloyd Banks for his "Christian Dior Denim Flow," and then the two MCs collaborated again on the G-Unit rapper's "Start It Up."After recording two songs together — with a bevy of featured guests like Ryan Leslie, Fabolous, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend and Swizz Beatz — could the pair soon be onboard for a number that also includes Yeezy foe 50 Cent?Well, yes, a 'Ye/Fif banger will soon see the light of day, according to Banks."We don't got that record on The Hunger for More 2, we want to balance it out," Banks told MTV News. "But we got more projects coming. 50 got a project, Yayo got a project, there's plenty of projects and space for it to happen. On my album, we got "Start It Up" to set it off.The Queens lyricist explained his newfound penchant for collaborating outside the G-Unit family, from the Juelz Santana-assisted "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" to his Kanye offerings. Banks said his past collabos were limited to his circle because of the success the Shady/Aftermath camp was enjoying at the time. Now, as he looks to establish his solo star, he's realizing that different artists represent artistic options he wants to tap."Nothing stays the same and this kind of change ... a lot of people are looking at it like the collaborations are happening all of a sudden," he said. "But it's because when we first came out in the industry we had such a big umbrella that if you needed a feature you didn't have to look too far. If you needed an R&B feature, Nate Dogg was there. Or Snoop was there if you need a weed record; Buck was down South. We had so much under the umbrella that I didn't need to look outside the circle. The collaborations, specifically, the New York ones, are important, especially if we want to get back in the position that we should be."Source:MTVRead more…
Video After The JumpWhere does your career go after you're named the Sexiest Woman Alive?
It's something Minka Kelly will have to think about after being bestowed the honor for 2010 by Esquire Magazine.
The 30-year old actress, and girlfriend on New York Yankees player Derek Jeter, follows in the footsteps of former winners Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron, and Kate Beckinsale.
Minka had an interesting childhood, her mother was a stripper. Lucky for us she didn't choose her mom's profession or she might not have ever made it to the big screen.
"My mom lived a fast life," she tells Esquire. "It was all about what we could do to have fun with nothing. She — for most of my life, she was a dancer. An exotic dancer. She was a stripper. Um, so she would come home at like three, four o'clock in the morning, and sometimes she would have a really great night, and so she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we'd go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping. And that was so much fun. We'd have the whole grocery store to ourselves, and we would have a blast and buy a hundred dollars in groceries. And it was just the best day ever. The best day."
You can next catch Minka in her new movie Searching For Sonny.
Video After The JumpIf you browse the web much, or watch television for any period of time during the day, chances are you have seen commercials for dating websites.
Usually the ads feature couples that look like they were picked out of a group of models, talking about their great experience meeting each other through a dating service.
But what about people who don't look like models? Might be a little overweight or don't have a job working for a Fortune 500 company? Joe DeLuca of Toronto, Canada thinks he may have the answer for you.
Joe has created a dating website in the U.S. and Canada called UglySchmucks.com"Our goal is, we want our members to be looking for genuine personality rather than outward appearance," Joe says. "And in return they don't want to be judged by how they look, they want to be judged for their personality."
The website has been live for a month now, and has 2000 members so far.
Member Keeli Wheeler, a widowed mother of two boys from Houston, says she joined because she's looking inward at the people she would like to date.
"I find beauty is within the soul and besides that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So I leave that to each person to decide. [Traditional websites] not only focus on beauty, but material possessions, your income... things like that are irrelevant to me. I really want things that cannot be stripped away," Keeli told Don Lemon of CNN.
Ok then......

Video After The JumpYou know how they say certain people are like crabs in a bucket, always trying to keep each other down? Well the same rules apply to attention whores.
Chingy's tranny lover, Sidney Starr has been taking shots at Kat Stacks, and right on cue Kat fires back.
While doing an interview with WGCI, Sid went in on his perceived competition.
"I don't think I'm anything like her. I'm more classier and prettier," Sidney said. "And I have more things going on than her. She's just at home getting naked on camera. She showed her private to the world, and it was absolutely looked disgusting. It looked like she was growing two balls."
It didn't take Kat long to post a pretty hilarious reply.
"How dare this motherf*cking tranny, run his motherf*cking mouth about me. B*tch I'm the only reason there was an open door for you, for the media to even pay attention to your a** motherf*cker," Kat says. "How dare you talk about motherf*cking p*ssy. B*tch you mad cause my p*ssy looks better than your face h*e? You mad because I'm a real motherf*cking woman and you had to pay for your p*ssy b*tch? After every interview she says 'I wanna be famous.' B*tch you ruined your chance to ever be anything by telling people that you used to have a d*ck. Don't you know n*ggas will kill a motherf*cker for trying to trick them and get in bed with them? And you better stop running you mouth about me b*tch. Just cause you aint got a d*ck no more, don't mean I won't send n*ggas to cut your throat just like they cut your d*ck off, you're not a female."
Yall should get in the square and box it out. No rules, just scrap until one of you can't take it anymore. The loser disappears from public forever. One of you is enough already.

Antonio pictured with wife Terricka CasonVideo After The JumpNew York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie has obviously never heard of condoms.
The star player, traded to the Jets from the San Diego Chargers this past off season, has fathered nine children with eight women in six states according to the New York Post.
There doesn't seem to be a specific type of woman he likes either.
He's fathered children with a then 17 year old, as well as a lawyer and beauty queen.
When the Jets acquired Cromartie, they had to advance him $500,000 on his $1.7 million dollar salary this season, so he could catch up on outstanding child support payments.
This is the final year of a five year, $12 million dollar contract for the player.
"All that glitters really isn't gold," ex-fiancée Rhonda Patterson, a corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina, said ""It's easy to get wrapped up in the lifestyle that came with being engaged to someone in the NFL -- first-class flights, shopping on Rodeo Drive, living in his Atlanta mansion. It made it easier to overlook the red flags."
:Patterson adds that Cromartie broke off their engagement when she was six months pregnant and booted her from his crib.
The latest count has Antonio with babies in Texas, California, New Jersey, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina.
This dude better hope he can get another huge contract because these women all want money for their kids.
Cromartie acknowledges he made mistakes early on in his career, and is trying to be a father to all of his children.
He's currently married to Terricka Cason, a star on the E! reality show "Candy Girls."
Check out the hilarious video below as Antonio tries to remember all of his kids names.

Video After The JumpLet's be real here, not everyone deserves the right to be a parent. The video you're about to watch is a prime example of that.
A father was caught on camera in an Atlantic City, New Jersey parking lot using his children to rob a car.
Two kids are seen hauling off several items, while the dad calmly walks away from the crime scene with a toddler.
WLBT is reporting that the items stolen were two LCD monitors and a laptop.
I don't know how this dude can even look himself in the mirror after something like that. I mean if you want to engage in some criminal type sh*t don't bring your kids along, and damn sure don't have them participate.
I'm not advocating criminal behavior, I'm just trying to make a point.
These kids are not even in their teens and their piece of sh*t father is teaching them that stealing is the way to make a living in life.
And no, he hasn't been caught yet.
SMFH!

Just Blaze says he picked RZA's brain about his move to Hollywood production, and a non-rap project he's working on.Just Blaze, who recently spoke about delays for T.I.'s and Jay Electronica's upcoming projects, sat down with VIBE to discuss things outside the realm of Hip Hop.In the interview, the producer revealed that he is continuing production for video games, and now television. “There’s something else video game and music related that I might be working on. It’s so early, though—we’ve only been two conversations about it. But it will probably have a lot of haters upset, again,” explained Just. “I’m also working on a TV show. It’s not just a pitch thing—we’re almost done shooting. I took the downtime I had from making music to do something different, jump on the small screen a little bit.“It turns out that Just Blaze sought the advice of another one of Hip Hop's storied producers who's taken his talents to other forms of media - RZA.“I sat next to RZA on a plane, and we chopped it up about expanding our talents. He told me that he knew he had to diversify a long time ago,” described Just of the meeting. “I definitely admire him for his early move into Hollywood.”Source:HHDXRead more…
