GET RICH OR LIE TRYING Murdoch, Jackson

Last May, it was reported that Curtis Jackson, the rapper better known as 50 Cent, cashed in his 10 percent share of Vitamin Water manufacturer Glaceau to the tune of a staggering $400 million. (Coca-Cola bought the company for $4.1 billion). Just last week, a rep for the company actually told us that 50 only ended up making a small fraction of the quoted sum, but it now seems that his name is being attached to another insanely speculative rumor: according to reports, 50 is on the verge of signing a $300 million "branding deal" with Rupert Murdoch's MySpace.
