50 Cent Busted in Silver Lamborghini

TMZ has confirmed that rapper 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was arrested around 2:00PM this afternoon in Manhattan. Law enforcement officials in an unmarked car pulled over the star's silver Lamborghini at the corner of 8th Ave. and 35th Ave. in Midtown New York after they say he made an unsafe lane change.

Police tell TMZ they removed Fiddy from his car and cuffed him in front of several witnesses. Because of the crowd that began gathering around the scene, cops determined it to be an unsafe situation so they took him to a police station down the street from the scene. The car was not towed as police tell TMZ there was no reason to impound the car.

Police issued 50 four summons: one for an unsafe lane change, one because his driver's license had expired, one because his Lambo is unregistered with the state and another because the car is also uninsured. He was issued the tickets and released.

The gangsta rapper has a long and storied history with police, starting from when he was busted in a high school gym class in 1994 for hiding crack vials in his sneakers. He was then nailed again that year for felony drug charges; with these busts occurring only three weeks apart.

In 2002, the rapper found trouble again when he and members of his entourage were arrested after New York police allegedly found two loaded guns in the rapper's SUV. All five occupants of the vehicle were charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Of course, Fiddy is perhaps most known for surviving a brutal attack in 2000, where he was shot nine times in front of his grandparent's house in Queens, NY.

Calls to 50's reps were not immediately returned.

421. White Girl, the water was chilly with rip tides of some severity, but, all in all, quite refreshing.

I suppose it all comes down to a matter of perception, as as you may know, perception is reality. I know nothing of Jessica Simpson's music and the only thing I can say of her with impunity is............that's one steaming hot woman. Not really pretty but she could warm a winter's frost.

It is impossible for me to acknowledge that gangsta rap/hip-hop has any correlation to "music". They are contradictory terms. If one can say that these sideways hat wearing scumbags jumping around on a stage screaming "nigga" every few seconds is "music", I suppose they have that right.

As far as the sub-humanoid, Curtis Jackson, is concerned he has a record of drug and weapons charges nearly going back to the womb.

What or who would you eliminate if you were annointed Quenn of the World?

423. Dear Ellis,

If I could eliminate one thing it would be the hatred that people have for one another. Whether it's white v. black, Catholic v. jew, Israel v. Palestine, East v. West, Christian v. Muslim, straight v. gay, rich v. poor, republican v. democrat>>>>>>people generally only like to surround themselves with others just like them and tend to have little sympathy, empathy or love for anyone outside that box. Maybe it's human nature - my experience of people is that they want to feel that they are better than someone else. Many, not all Whites tend to think that they're better than everybody. I don't know where this comes from, maybe because there are so many of them that they feel strength in numbers.

427. 50 should have had insurance. 50 deserved the tickets for no license, no insurance, and no registration. Most people have these issues when they don't have money to "fix" pay the fees at dmv. So 50 was wrong. Being black, rich, and irresponsible is an immediate cause for trouble. NYPD probably was a little jealous, but 50 should not have given them a reason to be right. HE KNOWS BETTER. He should always have his paperwork in order. He knows this city!! Real Ballers have it covered on all ends - you slippin' 50!!
ALSO-- Comparison to Paris Hilton is a joke. And... she is not a classy dignified woman. She is a spoiled, irresponsible, drunken brat with very long money - and very infectious diseases!!
