READY OR NOT: ARTICLE

What do we love so much about a celebrity mishap? Sometimes it’s the unexpected nature of the celebrity actions and most of the time it’s the drama that follows. The sob stories, the blogs, and the apology videos, all of these thing celebrities use to cover up and help forget about a mistake they made. In recent news KanYe West and David Letterman have had some publicity due to their scandalous actions. KanYe West’s recently made VMA history by interrupting Taylor Swift’s award speech. He didn’t agree with the pick for Best Female Video, proclaiming, “Beyonce had the best video of all time”. Beyonce did later on win Video of the Year! The best way to fix this mishap Kanye, “blame it on the alcohol”. KanYe West was escorted out of the building and later write on his bog apologizes. He wrote "I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom." His apology was not taken well as many bloggers are still livid over his remarks. Brandon Jaffe is still angry about his beloved singer, Taylor Swift, being interrupted by KanYe West. Mr. Jaffe says “I love both Taylor Swift and KanYe West, but I don’t see how KanYe West could come back from this one”. KanYe West soon after cancelled his tour, “Fame Kills”, due to unsceficied reasons. These events are still being played in the local media. Others seemed to dodge a train wreck after a his extortion attempt. His scandal is seemingly opposite of KanYe West’s situation. Letterman announced himself that he was victim of a extortion scandal by having information leaked about a sexual relationship of his. Holly Hester was a former CBS employee who was involved with letterman in a secret relationship. Letterman was able to slip in and slip out of the spot light. The first reason his scandal blew over was that he released it on his own terms. When he announced it, it took the surprise element out of it. By exposing himself the tabloids had very little to exploit him about. His humorous tone was big risk, but big reward. He made the event seem less important by laughing about it. David Letterman and KanYe West will be remembered for there mishaps, but more importantly how they recovered from it.

50 Cent Talks "Before I Self Destruct"

So by now you’re aware that the 50 Cent of today isn’t the 50 Cent of 2003. Or is he? The “aggressive content” is still there, the issues with other rappers are still there, and the hunger to get rich or die tryin’ is definitely still there. But while there’s a the-more-things-change-the-more-they-stay-the-same feel to it all, there are notable differences between Curtis Jacksons past and present.

He just did a New York reunion show at Governor’s Island where he embraced Jadakiss (whom he’s had problems with in the past), he hasn’t flown off the handle about his placement on the MTV list like he two years ago—and yesterday, as we sat down with 50 Cent in his unfinished new office, his answers to our questions seemed more methodical than ever. While he preps to release his oft-delayed album Before I Self Destruct on November 23, we spoke to 50 about possible tension with Dre, Fat Joe’s first-week sales, pulling a gun on Diddy, and how he reallyfeels about Jay-Z’s “no one is scared of 50 Cent” comment. Yup, some things will never change…

Interview By Joe La Puma

Complex: Okay, as far as the the new album, we’ve heard a radio-friendly single with Ne-Yo, but you also have gritty tracks like “Flight 187″….

50 Cent: “Flight 187″ is a bonus track, it’s not on the album. I started the project, and I wrote exactly what I wanted on it, and then I thought out the actual singles at the very end. The album changed, because there was a time period around December of last year, that I was ready to put my record out and I was a little anxious. I usually release on schedule; it’s usually a two-year cycle for me before I release a record. In December, I put out the “Get Up” record, and then Interscope had a transition, like the entire music business did. So the majority of the delays of this project have been readjustments to what’s actually going on, not [because] the material wasn’t up to par or completed. There’s been a transition that we experience in technology—for instance, right now we’re talking to Complex.com instead of Complex magazine. That right there shows you that things are totally changing around. Instead of fighting things, I embrace them.
