Rapper 50 Cent was honored yesterday at the opening of his Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Community Garden on November 3, 2008 in the Jamaica neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Legendary actress and singer Bette Midler (“Beaches”), left, joined him at the ceremony, but we’re not sure why. Anyway, congrats to Fiddy!
50 Cent Luh da kids!
Nice suit, but the shoes are a distraction rather than a compliment
Why does this look like 50 Cent’s funeral plot headstone? Is this an omen?

I can’t believe I’m about to say this but 50 looks really nice in these pics…
(i’ve been up since 4 am, maybe my eyes aint right)
Bette Midler (”Beaches”),

Is this site so “urban black” that we don’t know who Bette Midler is?
50 Cents headstone-I think he needs Estate Planning if this is all he gets. LOL.
OOH those new teeth sure do make 50 look good.

He does look nice but him, Lebron James and Reggie Bush mess up the suit with the “Old Man Shoes”.
i read somewhere else that 2 quarters and miss bette midler opened opened some kind of park together. i will be back with the info as soon as i figure out what blog it was lol
and i didn’t even notice Bette Midler standing there.
are they working on a 50/Bette Midler collabo or something?
yeah @ Anna…wearing the wrong shoes can definitely FLUCK up an outfit.
ok so from what i read it’s a park that 2 quarters put up his own money to build in his old neighborhood.
this is a good thing he did but i still don’t like him. lol
let me say it again HE DID GOOD!!!
50 always cleans up nice.
I was in and out yesterday. WE WERE SWAMPED….but is it true that Charles is now an official “sideline h o e”?
I need clarification.
Bette Midler is on the NY restoration project committee and she got 50 involved and that’s why she is in the picture.
50 does look good, but correct, those shoes just mess myhead up with that suit. Kudos to 50 for giving back the the community. Is that his son in the kids group shot?
@Prynsexxx………..From my understanding Chuckie will be TYD’n a lot more………
Bette Midler is known in NY for helping to build community gardens. She is also an advocate of cleaning up neighborhoods. I think that she has been doing this since the 80’s. They were talking about her passion for this on the View last week. Didn’t mention 50 though..
@ DivaMama
Is that his son in the kids group shot?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought 50 only had one son. The age grop of these kids would not be correct.
group*
hey pryn .. yep .. he took one in the azz .. well another one ..
goat … check out the new Chili Post !
and I STILL like 50 .. always will !!
looks very JC Penney…everyone and they momma know who Bette Midler is, com on y’all.
I think its safe to sing/hum/type……
“Ding-dong the witch is dead, the witch is dead, the witch is dead. Ding-dong the wicked witch is deaaaaaaaaadd!”
Followed by……
“yous a ho, yous a ho, ya nothin’ but a sideline ho”
@ Anna, thanks. I wasn’t sure – the one with his hand up that looks like he’s scared of the camera kind of favored his son, at least I thought.
NOT a Suit (Pants aren’t the same color)…
If THAT is a suit IT’S a Very Cheap One
Need cuffs in the pants & Some BLACK dress shoes…
Some Allen Edmonds business casual/dress shoes preferably
(Around $375.00-$650.00 per — I’m sure 50 can afford them)
i hate that they have 50cent parading around these kids like he is some kind of a role mdel. this is a thug, drug dealing always starting trouble with someone else pussy. pisses me off to see him trying to be legit. he probably has 9 mill in is pocket as we speak. bitch.. i hate no one normally but he has been trouble ever since he came on the scene starting shit with ja rule… im sorry for the bad words — it wont happen again – but 50 cent brings it out in me. bastard
I love you 50, shoes, smile, and all !!!
You look good.
Oh, yeah, and I’m proud of you.

Thanx. I knew she did this but I thought she started this 20 yrs ago. Either way what she is doing is great.
