50 Cent—The Next Nicole Richie Now it's 50 Cent's turn to get into the publishing game; he's creating a publishing label called "G-Unit Books," in collaboration with MTV and Simon & Schuster.

According to the website ContactMusic.com, "The 2007 project will focus on the gritty themes covered in 50 Cent's music. 'These tales will tell the truth about The Life; the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets.'"

As the Times puts it, "Louise Burke, the publisher of Pocket Books, said the stories would be written by authors recruited by the publisher in collaboration with 50 Cent."

In other words, they'll be publishing books not written by their authors for an (MTV) audience that doesn't read.

They're going to make a bundle...  ¶ 8:11 AM
