10391 – Well, it is decided then! I will definitely be buying the new Kanye West CD!

50 Cent: I’ll quit if outsold by West
NEW YORK – 50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West’s upcoming disc, and he’s betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West’s “Graduation” could rival those for his “Curtis” CD.
“Let’s raise the stakes,” the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out anymore solo albums.”
An e-mail sent to West’s publicist wasn’t immediately returned Friday.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, has been publicly disparaging of West before. In 2005, he suggested the 29-year-old rapper’s popularity was only possible because of 50’s own success.
But they recently collaborated in the studio. Their work, though, isn’t scheduled to appear on either new album.
50 Cent’s last full-length solo album, “The Massacre,” was the best-selling disc of 2005 and sold more than 1.14 million copies in its first week of release. The same year, West’s “Late Registration” opened by selling more than 860,000 copies in its first week.

Trump’s hair on the line at Wrestlemania
DETROIT – Will Donald Trump put his hair where his mouth is?
Trump and World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon will pick a wrestler to represent them in the ring April 1 at Wrestlemania 23 at Detroit’s Ford Field, The Detroit News reported last week.
If their pick is beaten in the “Battle of the Billionaires,” the loser will get his head shaved after the match, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.
WWE spokesman Gary Davis said the date of the event had prompted speculation that it was a hoax. But it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke, he said.
“If Trump loses, he shaves his head,” he said.
The announcement of the match was made on a WWE television program that aired over the weekend.

I am so tired of this story!!

Paper clip turns into film role for Sask. resident
A series of trade ups over the internet involving a red paper clip and the town of Kipling, Sask. has resulted in a Hollywood movie role for one of the town’s residents.
It all began with Kyle MacDonald of Montreal, who placed the paper clip on eBay last summer, hoping to trade up to a home. After 14 trades ó which involved a keg of beer, a cube van, a recording contract, a snowmobile and a snow globe from rock star Alice Cooper ó MacDonald got his wish.
He traded a KISS snow globe for a speaking part in a Corbin Bernsen film. Bernsen ó the former star of L.A. Law ó is a snow globe collector. Then the town of Kipling stepped in, trading the house for the movie role.
Over the weekend, Kipling held a giant welcoming party for MacDonald and his girlfriend, who arrived to take over possession of the house. The story has received worldwide attention and the weekend festivities included visitors from as far away as Australia.
Bernsen auditioned about 150 people, and announced late Sunday he was awarding the film role to Kipling resident Nolan Hubard, 19.
“This has been my dream since I was like 10-years-old. I can’t stop shaking. I’m going to pass out,” said Hubard, who will have a speaking part in Bernsen’s Donna On Demand.
“He obviously just has a raw talent and capability,” Bernsen said. “I am going to take him to L.A. and try to introduce him to people and get him going.”
Bernsen is also considering shooting a Christmas comedy in Kipling.
However, MacDonald was the star attraction over the Labour Day weekend. He was named honorary mayor on Sunday and given the keys to the town.
The festivities also marked the first time 12 of the 14 paper clip traders had met each other. Corrina Haight from Vancouver, who offered a fish pen for the paper clip, gave it back to MacDonald on Sunday.
He said that once he’s settled in, he’s going to concentrate writing a book about his experiences as well as creating “the biggest paper clip the world has ever seen” to commemorate the experience.
