Thu, 03 Mar 2011 23:37:10 +0000

50 Cent needs to wave his Magic Stick if he hopes to sell his Connecticut mega-mansion ... he just slashed the price another few million bucks in desperation.

Fiddy says he's fed up with the 2-hour, too long commute to New York City and wants to trade in the 19-bedroom, 37-bath pad for a cut down crib in the city -- it was $18.5 million, then $14.5 million and now it's only $10.9 million.

50 shelled out $4.1 million for the 17-acre estate -- but says he spent $6 million on urgent upgrades like a disco complete with stripper poles.

Patton Oswalt: 'Big Fan' Of Comics, Not Sports

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 23:37:10 +0000

In Big Fan, comedian Patton Oswalt plays a huge New York Giants fan. The problem is, he doesn't exactly root for a team on Sunday in real life. So in his exclusive chat with PopEater, he summed up how he got into character: "Basically I had to draw on my geeky love for comics. It's the same spark, just different fuel."

Big Fan has been riding a wave of buzz since its Sundance Film Festival debut - even drawing implications of a Golden Globe or Oscar nod. "I honestly don't know what to do when you're nominated. I'm assuming they send a car for you, and you go to some parties.

"I'd be really happy if the movie got nominated... It would be good to see that happen knowing how hard Robert [Siegel] worked on this film."

Madonna booed in Bucharest for defending Gypsies

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 23:37:10 +0000

BUCHAREST, Romania - At first, fans politely applauded the Roma performers sharing a stage with Madonna. Then the pop star condemned widespread discrimination against Roma, or Gypsies — and the cheers gave way to jeers.

The sharp mood change that swept the crowd of 60,000, who had packed a park for Wednesday night's concert, underscores how prejudice against Gypsies remains deeply entrenched across Eastern Europe.

Despite long-standing efforts to stamp out rampant bias, human rights advocates say Roma probably suffer more humiliation and endure more discrimination than any other people group on the continent.
