Gossip for grown-ups
Artist 50 Cent from the multi-sponsored rap label G-Unit has landed himself in the midst of a dangerous situation this week. A member of his never-ending entourage had opened fire at the WQHT radio station in Manhattan, reportedly injuring one man. 50 Cent was doing an on air interview at the time, promoting his new album, The Massacre.
Now for some Unoriginal Trash designed to get the kids in on a Saturday night. Prepare for the worst, reader: there's no talking Italian going on in this banal shocker featuring Robert De Niro...
Excellent fun for any bored call centre operatives or suchlike, this link will take you a mind-crushing 270 question music quiz.
