50 Cent makes cameo in 'Live'

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Rapper 50 Cent almost didn't make the cut of film director Bill Guttentag's latest project, Live!. The film, which premiered last month at the Tribeca Film Festival, chronicles the life of a television executive who is trying to produce a reality show in which contestants play Russian roulette.

Guttentag, who initially edited the rapper's brief cameo out of the movie, told New York's Daily News, "I didn't know who he was. But my daughter saw the clip and she said, 'Dad, you have to use that! It's 50 Cent!"

In related news, 50 Cent is currently working on three film projects for next year including: The Dance, Live Bet, and Ski Mask Way.

The rapper will release his new album, Curtis, on June 26th. The first single from the album is "Straight to the Bank" featuring Tony Yayo.
