Watch 50 Cent Throw the Worst First Pitch Ever [VIDEO]

50 Cent threw possibly one of the worst first pitches ever.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has a pretty accomplished career. He rose to fame with the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin‘ (2003) and The Massacre (2005). His major-label debut Get Rich or Die Tryin‘, has been certified eight times platinum.

Throughout his music career, Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won several awards, including a Grammy Award, 13 Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards and four BET Awards. He has also pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin’ in 2005, the Iraq War film Home of the Brave in 2006, and Righteous Kill in 2008.

But, when it comes to throwing a ball from the pitcher’s mound to home plate, Jackson struggles.

The crowd’s reaction is priceless as it looks like the entire baseball field erupt in laughter. But, hey it also may not be as bad as Carly Rae Jepsen’s disastrous attempt.

The executive producer of Starz’s upcoming drama series “Power” is set to premiere on June 7.

China Shuts Down Movie Theaters After Reports of Box Office Scams

China suspends movie theaters over fraudulent box office reporting.

In February, Chinese authorities started to crack down on movie theaters that manipulated box office figures. This ended in nine cinemas that were banned from screening new movies. Now, seven additional theaters join the list.

According to Deadline, there are over 18,000 cinemas in China‘s growing film industry and in order to regulate the booming industry, China is focused on shutting down illegitimate movie theaters. On Monday, the China Film Producers’ Association and the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Association issued a statement saying the movie theaters had used a dual software system that allowed them to sell tickets without registering the real earnings, the Xinhua news agency reports. Last January, China‘s State authority SAPPRFT issued a memo pointing out new regulations that demanded all movie cinemas upgrade their software to a national digital ticketing platform before May 1.

You may ask why would China suspend movie theaters from fraudulent box office reporting? In China, business attempt to hide income from the government because China takes a 3% value-added tax on revenues as well as a 5% film fund tax.

The number of movie theaters in China has exploded over the last ten years. According to Beijing-based film industry research company Entgroup, there were just 3,000 movie screens in operation in China in 2007. Now there are more than 18,000.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, China is now the world’s second largest movie market and the local box office total is expected to grow to $4.6 billion this year. In February alone, their box office reached $520 million, about the same as the country’s full year total as recently as 2007.

Media CEO’s Make Millions More than CEO’s of Cars, Oil, and Banks

Media CEO’s Make Millions More than CEO’s of Cars, Oil, and Banks

Media CEO’s make more money than CEO’s of any other industry.

The six of the country’s 10 highest paid CEO’s come from media CBS’ Les Moonves (No. 2, $65.6M), Viacom’s Philippe Dauman(No. 5, $37.2M), Disney’s Bob Iger (No. 7, $34.3M), Discovery’s David Zaslav (No. 8, $33.3M), Time Warner’s Jeff Bewkes (No. 9, $32.5M), and Comcast’s Brian Roberts (No. 10, $31.4M).

What is interesting is to see how much CEO’s make in comparison to other CEO’s in bigger industries. You would assume that big corporations that have a larger impact on the economy and people in general would make more money. However, that is not the case. For example, ExxonMobil‘s CEO, Rob Tillerson made only 28.1 million dollars last year. That is almost half as much as CBS‘ Chief Executive Officer, Les moonves. Ford Motor’s Alan Mulally was ranked No. 18 with $23.2 million.

But, the highest paid CEO was Anthony Petrello of oil and gas drilling company Nabors Industries with $68.2 million.

Deadline points out how Media Giants like CBS, and Viacom are able to pay their CEO’s so much money:

Boards usually justify their high outlays by pointing to metrics of company success, which they credit to the CEOs. But while those on this list are smart and shrewd, it’s worth asking how much of their good fortune — including their rising stock prices — also represents good luck. Keep in mind that all of the media powers represented by this year’s top 11 own broadcast and/or pay TV channels. Cable and satellite companies complain that these programmers have oligopoly power to raise prices on distributors. Many are aggressively doing so, which distributors say pressures them to raise your rates. Programmers also benefit from a new source of cash: license fees from digital services including Netflix and Amazon Prime.

With Netflix and Amazon Prime license fees and the ability to raise prices on distributors, media companies have the ability to increase their profits easily and in turn pay their CEO’s more money.

Next time you are considering a job in the film and TV industry, try looking into the executive board of a media company. They are getting paid.

Netflix Lands Exclusive Deal for Sony’s Animated Movies

Netflix lands a deal with Sony for their animated movies.

Netflix is continuing to grow their library of TV shows and kids’ movies. According to TheWrap, Netflix, has acquired the rights to Sony Pictures Animation movies under a new multiyear agreement. This agreement increases the number of kids programs and allows for Netflix to become a stronger contender in the kids programming market.In the United States Netflix users can watch “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2” and “The Smurfs 2,”.

The Starz Network controls the rights to Sony‘s live-action movies until 2021. Netflix previously had a deal with Starz but in 2012, the two media giants went their separate ways.

According to Business Insider, The deal went south after Starz Network wanted to charge Netflix $300 million per year for their content. But, the network did not want to sell their programming at a discount. Instead, their strategy was “to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content.” Or, Starz Network wanted Netflix users to pay more. This would force Netflix to increase their subscription fees and create a premium package for the Starz Network. Needless to say, the deal did not go through. 

Over the last couple of years, Netflix has worked hard on trying to build a library of productions for children. The company has recently landed deals with DreamWorks Animation, Pixar and Disney.

Despite the big deal between Sony and Netflix, Sony will not release a new animated movie in 2014. However, Sony is expected to release “Hotel Transylvania 2” next year and two new animated movies in 2016.

Channing Tatum and Shia LeBouf Ended Friendship Over Method Acting

Channing Tatum recently admitted that he partied too hard with Shia LeBeouf and it may have ended their friendship.

It all started while the two were filming the 2006 movie, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints“. Shia LaBeouf who played the lead in the movie, told GQ in 2008 that Channing Tatum ordered him to break into a Barnes and Nobles and steal a Spider-man bookmark. And when LeBeouf didn’t do it, Tatum did.

But, in a recent article in GQ, Tatum claims that LeBeouf is a liar. But, all of it centered on becoming a better “method actor”.

“Yeah, but none of it was true. We were drinking. And I think our initial thing was ‘Alright, let’s go out and try and get in a fight!’ This was just young dumb idiot actors thinking that that’s going to bond us. Because we’ll shed blood together blah blah blah. Just stupid actors thinking that they have to try and be method.”

He later says that even though method acting is not wrong, you should not start fights with people.

“I’m not saying anything about method actors, but to go and try to fight somebody to become the character? I think that’s a little immature, in hindsight. But it felt real and sort of visceral at the time.

 

Channing Tatum said he didn’t bash any windows at the Barnes and Nobles, he did say he did bash another window.

“We were just running and being hoodlums and throwing trash bags down streets and just being stupid. We were trying to be like eighties hoodlums. And I think as we were running I kicked this thing, not thinking that it would ever shatter. And everything just went raining down. And I was like ‘oh shit.’ And then we just took off running.”

The night hit a tipping point when LeBeouf punched a cop car.

“We all just ran in opposite directions. I didn’t hide under a car, I dove in some trash bags,” Tatum said. “In hindsight it’s the funniest thing in the world — just typical actors trying too hard. It’s only fun because we didn’t get caught … that I can have perspective on it now and know it was stupid. I don’t think we were thinking.”

Channing Tatum has since moved on from this stint of vigilantism while Shia LeBeouf has been in the media for plagiarism and coining the phrase, “I am not famous anymore.”

“The kid’s an incredible actor,” Tatum said. “I just wish that he would just act. Just act, man!”

Tatum stars in “22 Jump Street” in June, followed by “Jupiter Ascending” in July.

Hackers are Holding iPhones Ransom Using Find My iPhone App

Hackers are using ‘Find My iPhone’ app to hold iOS devices for ransom.

There are a new and weird string of iPhone kidnappings occurring in Australia and spreading into the United States.

Hackers are using the ‘Find My iPhone’ app to lock iOS devices remotely, and then demanding a ransom to unlock them. The ransom is then payable through PayPal.

Reports of the incidents first started in Australia. The first report was featured on the Apple forums this week, followed by a report of ransomed iPhones in the U.S. iPhone users are reporting that their phones are suddenly locked, with a message from ‘Find My iPhone’ saying that the device has been “hacked by Oleg Pliss.”

Olega Pliss

Instructions to unlock the phone are sent saying: Send $50 to a PayPal account and the phone will be unlocked.

It is not clear if the exploit is due to a problem in the Find My iPhone app or if people’s iCloud accounts are being hacked.

If you are worried about getting targeted and ransomed for your iPhone, change your password.

Many experts believe the recent eBay hack allowed for hackers to use credentials from other websites to log into their iCloud account.

If you have been locked, all you have to do is a factory restore of your iOS device to get your phone back. You can find the directions here.

If you have already been hacked, PayPal says they will refund the ransom money. Paypal also claims that their no account matching the email address in the ransom note.

For many people in the entertainment industry, the phone is your lifeline to your career. From production meetings, to auditions, a cell phone is your gateway to Hollywood. These recent string of attacks on iOS devices show that hackers are getting smarter and will stop at anything to steal money from you.

Do you plan on changing your password? Do you think hackers should be imprisoned for these type of ransoms? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
