Movieline can’t help but root for 50 Cent and his acting career, football cancer movies and all. In an exclusive behind the scenes clip from his upcoming DVD release Set Up — a diamond heist thriller co-starring Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe — the rapper-thespian opens up and gets personal talking about the impact he hope his latest acting endeavor makes on his career and dating life.
“I hope they realize that I’m a little bigger than usual, because it’s on the really, really big screen,” quips Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson backstage on the set of Set Up, which sadly forgoes a theatrical release and instead hits DVD and Blu-ray today. You can find him in the make-up chair, ladies, winking those “Coca Cola-colored” eyes at you. “I really just hope this does great things for my love life,” he smiles. So do we, Fiddy. So do we!
The synopsis of Set Up, however, takes a decidedly more serious tone:
Former friends are pitted against one another after a diamond heist goes wrong. Betrayed, Sonny (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) takes matters into his own hands when he partners with a notorious mob boss (Bruce Willis) to seek revenge against his former ally who took off with his loot. But when Sonny finally comes face to face with the man he’s been hunting, he’s forced to make a life-altering decision.
Ryan Phillippe and Randy Couture co-star in the release, which hits DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Download, and On Demand today.

Now that we’ve gotten Obama’s “forged with a rollerball pen that wasn’t even invented yet” birth certificate out of the way, we can finally focus on the more important headlines of the day, like Blake Lively’s hair color! Looking like if Ariel the Little Mermaid left Prince Eric and married a Reno, NV mob boss who made her the manager of the beauty pageant dress shop he uses as a front for illegal activities, Blake Lively showed off her movie role hair color at Time’s Most Influential People Gala in NYC last night. Time naming Blake Lively as one of the most influential people in the world is their way of saying: “We needed more big chichis on the list!”
Because really, the only thing that finds Blake Lively influential is a bowl of lukewarm oatmeal left out on a kitchen counter. That bowl of oatmeal keeps hoping that it will be as oatmeal-ey as her one day! But a ho can keep dreaming, because now Blake is a bowl of oatmeal with a delicious apple cinnamon squirt glaze on top.
