"Fiddy" is coming from left field and giving us something that I would have never expected from someone as hardcore as him. Reports say that rapper-mogul 50 Cent is finishing a new cosmetics line for men, which will include moisturizers and health supplements.

Yup, I was surprised too ... but at second thought, his skin has been giving 'flawless flow' lately. A source says that "his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered, but the supplements will make it more butch." 50 is definitely giving me some Diddy dapper swagger with this one.
