Most of us have plans for the holidays and many of us have been anticipating those plans for months. So how are we spending our holidays? Finding out how the stars are spending theirs. Yup, we asked all your favorite celebrities what they’re doing for the holidays, and here’s what we found out.
Rapper 50 Cent might spit some rough rhymes, but when it comes to the holidays, he’s totally traditional. 50 told us: “Man, I just like being at my grandmother’s house when everybody is there. Like everybody just gathering and getting together.”
Hollyscoop talked to rapper 50 Cent at the American Giving Awards, where he told us that bullies are often misunderstood.
“I think a lot of the kids that are bullying are not dealing with their emotions properly,” 50 told Hollyscoop. “I’ve participated in that, you know, as a youth.”
He continued that, looking back, he bullied because he had issues in other areas of his life:
“From an adult’s perspective, you can understand that something was happening in a different areas.

Lindsay Lohan just posed for a nude pictorial for Hugh Hefner’s iconic magazine. She was reportedly paid $1 million for the photoshoot and already the entire spread has leaked online ahead of the publications schedule release date in January.
Technically you can’t see Lindsay’s “cooch” (to use 50’s words), because it’s one of those “tasteful” photo shoots, also I don’t think the world is ready for a firecrotch, amiright? But still, 50 cent wants to peep Lindsay Lohan in the buff and admits he hasn’t searched for the photos…yet.

Hollyscoop asked celebrities about their biggest celebrity fans, and here's what they had to say.
Viola Davis: Meryl Streep: Hollyscoop asked the star of The Help if another celebrity has ever told her they're a fan. "Yes they have, it's wonderful. Meryl Streep, that's a big one!" That's a huuuuuge one. It doesn’t get any bigger than Meryl Streep.
Emma Stone: Selena Gomez: Selena Gomez loves Emma Stone, even calling Stone her mentor. Stone expressed her flattery, saying, "That is very sweet."

That being said, here are the stars who are supposedly really bad in bed:
Hugh Hefner: Who was surprised when Crystal Harris said that Hugh Hefner lasted “two seconds” in bed? Not me, frankly I was more surprised when Hugh defended himself earlier today by saying he has sex on a “weekly basis.” For the record, wearing a robe 24/7 so you can occasionally catch a breeze on your man parts does not count as actual sex.
Colin Farrell: After meeting Woody Allen’s nanny at a party, Colin Farell daytime booty texted her to come over to his hotel room. According to this chick, he has a pencil d-ck and lasted like 10 seconds and fell asleep right away. I guess he wasn’t the love stallion that we assumed he was...

P. Diddy was just named the richest artist in hip-hop by Forbes magazine with a fortune of $475 million, beating out both Jay Z and 50 Cent.
Thanks to his Sean John clothing brand, Bad Boy Worldwide record label and his vodka brand Ciroc, which generates his largest profit, he's a ballllllerrrr!
Diddy recently spent his hard earned cash on a $360,000 Maybach for his 16-year-old son for "getting good grades." All I used to get was a pat on the back and extra potatoes at dinner.
Meanwhile, Jay Hova came in at a close second with an estimated fortune of $450 million thanks to his 50 million album sales, tour revenue, 40/40 nightclub chain and a stake in the Basketball team New Jersey Nets.
Third on the list was producer Dr. Dre, with $125 million, although his net worth is expected to increase when he makes a comeback this year.
In joint fourth and fifth place are rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent, and Bryan Birdman’ Williams, the founder of hip-hop label Cash Money records, who are worth some $100 million each.
Any chance any of you wiling to adopt me?

Fiddy, his producing partner Randall Emmett and Floyd Mayweather told Hollyscoop at the House of Hype Live Style lounge that their production company Cheetah Vision Films is going to release a killer movie called Tomorrow Today.
"Tomorrow or Today is exciting for me, it’s an action film. It’s the first that I will actually be directing, technically the second," 50 told Hollyscoop.
"The first film I directed was before self-destruct it was distributed within my last first packaging. I say that this one is my first one because it’s the first one with a budget."
And when he says budget, he means BIG TIME budget—in the likes of $200 million.
"It’s the right size for me," he added with a sly smile.
His pal Floyd added, "Lions Gate is unbelievable, truly, truly unbelievable. I don’t think you can choose a better company," while 50 added, "It hits the right spot."
$200 million always hits the right spot. The movie, which will be written and directed by Fiddy, will start shooting this summer in Grand Rapids.

Sources say Chelsea was the one who ended her fling with 50 Cent. According to insiders, she left him "heartbroken."
Doesn’t sound like him at all!!! But apparently Chels dumped the rapper prior to the holidays. A source says he "spent Christmas sending her gifts, but she sent them back. She put a note on one that said, 'I can buy my own gifts.'"
Chelsea Handler Dating Hot Hotelier
This is equal parts hilarious and sad! But seriously, did we really think they were going to work out?!
As for what’s going on with Chelsea and her new man Andre Balazs, a friend says they’re totally an item.
"Chelsea and Andre are dating," a Handler pal confirms. "He's exactly her type."
Weird that she would go so out of her way to deny it like she did on her show earlier this week. But maybe she actually likes this guy and doesn’t want to make a joke of their relationship like she did with poor Fiddy.
January 7, 2011
Chels set the record straight on her and Fiddy, telling Us Magazine what the dealio is.
Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent are In Bed Together
"People still think we're dating? No! Really?" she said. "He's sweet, though. I love him, but we're not dating."
Well, way to burst our bubble Chelsea. I love that it was so obvious to her that they’re not hooking up, but we bloggers didn’t know any better!
50 Cent Responds to Chelsea Handler Hookup Rumors
Plus, she just tweeted that pic of the two of them in bed together less than a month ago!
So why isn’t she more serious with the rapper? "I don't know if I can handle him, to be honest," she said. "I like to have fun and I'm really trying to not get into anything too serious."
Chelsea….not serious??? Shocker! (not that shocker, sicko)
December 13, 2010
And now there’s picture proof that Chels and Fiddy have taken things to the next level. She took to Twitter today to show the world just how
50 Cent Responds to Chelsea Handler Hookup Rumors
Chelsea tweeted, "I don't know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper."
The pic is of the two in bed—Fiddy is on top of the talk show host, as she grabs him and kisses him on the cheek. I could be jumping to conclusions, but 50 just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’s just into “pillow talk.”
So is this just a PR stunt, or are these two doing the dirty for realz? I can’t decide who would need the publicity more—Chelsea or 50 Cent. But I do think they’re both just raunchy enough to be a cute couple together.
