This Really is 50 Cent

Who knew 50 Cent was so dedicated to his craft? No, not getting shot up again and again. Acting! The artist is starring in a film he wrote, Things Fall Apart , and he went all Michael Ventrella for the role: thanks to a liquid diet and a trio of hour/day treadmill sessions, the rapper dropped from 214 to 160 pounds. You aren’t so tough now, are you, Fiddy?!? (Please don’t hurt us.)

Double Whammy: Crystal Bowersox, Boyfriend Broke Up Prior to American Idol Finale

Crystal Bowersox lost more than an American Idol crown this week. She lost a boyfriend. Appearing on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today, the runner-up to Lee DeWyze said she and boyfriend Tony Kusian broke up on Tuesday morning because “he wasn’t cool with the lifestyle.” The split, which occurred mere hours before the final performance night, was 100% mutual, Crystal said: “We’re both logical, grown adults. He’s a small town guy and it’s fine. I’m a small town girl but I want this. I want this more than anything – this career, this lifestyle. I didn’t think he was up for it. He didn’t think he was up for it.” It doesn’t sound like there are any hard feelings on Crystal’s end at all: “He’s been amazing. He stuck it out through this whole thing.” Ever the sage, Kara DioGuardi, who also appeared on the programed, chimed in and told Bowersox: “You have to do your music. It’s not a choice for you. It’s what makes you whole. If somebody can’t hang with that – I’m sure he’s a lovely guy but right now this is your dream.” Who do you think should have won American Idol?

Your New Hipster Slur: Fauxhemians [Winners]

Hipsters are dead . Long(?) live Fauxhemians. A full 34% of you people picked “Fauxhemian” in our five-way poll yesterday, totally pissing coke-tainted piss on the runner-up slur, “Doucheoisie,” which scored 23%. At long last, our halfhearted search for a slur to replace the tired “hipster” has come to a fruitful conclusion. Thanks to you, the blackhearted Gawker commentariat. Everyone give yourself an irony-infested pat on the back. How are we to use this new slur? A few examples: On the subway : “Stop stepping on my shoes, you fey Fauxhemian bitch.” At the nightclub : “Dude, the whole place is full of Fauxhemians. I mean the girls are hot, but whatever.” Self-referentially: “No way. You’re a Fauxhemian, Fauxhemian.” In the New York Times: “A new term has been coined: ‘Fauxhemian.’ The year is 2013, and this is the New York Times Style section.” In any situation: “Whatever, Fauxhemian.” Today is a great day.
