50 Cent Wants to Trade Places with Brad Pitt

50 Cent would love to be Brad Pitt for a day, if only so he could romance Brad's girlfriend Angelina Jolie. He said: "I'd be Brad Pitt. Go sleep with Angelina and come back."

Meanwhile, 50 has admitted his alcohol tolerance is so low, he gets drunk after two drinks. The rapper told Complex magazine: "For me... two cups is over the limit. After one beer, you're drunk, technically."

The 34-year-old star also claimed he is prone to mood swings which affect the people around him. When asked who he most annoying person he knew was, 50 replied: "It might be me. I'm a moody person."

Brad Pitt In A ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Sequel?

Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr. going head-to-head onscreen. That's a tantalizing cinematic throwdown, which explains why even the possibility of such a face-off — in a sequel to a film that has not even opened yet — has been churning through the rumor mill. If Downey's "Sherlock Holmes" becomes a box-office hit following its Christmas Day opening, could we eventually see the actor's Holmes joined in a sequel by Brad Pitt as the wily detective's nemesis James Moriarty?

That's been the gossip for months. In August there were rumors that Pitt was on the "Holmes" set, and The Hollywood Reporter dished in September that the A-lister was in discussions to take on the role. And now we know — spoiler alert! — that Moriarty does in fact pop up in "Holmes," albeit swathed in shadows and with a voice not recognizably Pitt's. So when MTV News had a chance to chat with director Guy Ritchie and his cast, we had to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Had Ritchie talked with Pitt about playing Moriarty? "I can't tell you that," the director said, glancing a bit nervously at his publicist. "Maybe Moriarty will surface again .... I'm not allowed to say anything."

Why be so tight-lipped about something that is not even a possibility? His answers will only fuel the Pitt-as-Moriarty fire. "I'm a big fan of Brad and I'd love to work with Brad," said Ritchie, who directed Pitt in 2000's "Snatch." "Everything he's done, I'm a big fan of."

When we put the Pitt questions to Downey, the actor declined to answer or speculate. "We're not the casting directors and [Moriarty's] kept purposely out of the narrative in the story and, should we be fortunate enough to go forward again, then we'll probably make casting announcements and that stuff."

"Holmes" star Mark Strong was a little more forthcoming in our interview, saying he never saw Pitt on set, but that Pitt and Ritchie have a strong creative bond. "I never met [Pitt], but I know that Guy and he are friends, obviously, because they've worked together and I know they'd love to get someone of his caliber to play a character of the depth and weight of Moriarty. I know they've probably talked about it."

Rachel McAdams' character, Irene Adler, actually interacts with the mysterious Moriarty in the film. Did the actress perform alongside Pitt?

"No Brad Pitt sightings," McAdams said with a laugh, adding sometimes she wasn't even on camera with another actor. "I was just talking to a dark void."

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Celebrate Half A Decade Together

Despite the dire predictions, Brangelina, aka Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have managed to stay together now for five years.

In order to celebrate their anniversary, Pitt and Jolie reserved a suite at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Hollywood, according to a report in Life & Style.

Pitt and Jolie were able to keep the November 28 celebration quiet because they kept the staff at the hotel in the dark.

“They checked in around 4 p.m. and were ushered straight to their poolside bungalow,” said a hotel insider. “They were holding hands when they arrived, and Angie was really excited. She was like a kid — she kept asking Brad what he was up to, and he just smiled knowingly. They looked like they were on a date – they had no security with them, and they were incredibly relaxed.”

The couple, who has never married, met in 2004 while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt Competing for Zhang Yimou’s Next Film?

While I eagerly await for Sony Pictures Classics to release Zhang Yimou's The First Gun in the U.S. (despite the negative response it's apparently received at home in China), I can't help but leapfrog that movie in order to excitedly bring news of the filmmaker's next film: The Thirteen Women of Jinling (also known as The 13 Women of Nanjing). According to a Chinese website, Jingling will apparently take priority over Yimou's other in-the-works project, Romance Under a Hawthorn Tree, and it will feature a Hollywood A-list actor in some capacity.

Producer Zhang Weiping mentions only the biggest and best as potentials, with Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt allegedly all showing interest. One of these actors could fill the role of a pastor in the film, which will be set in a Nanjing church during the Japanese invasion of 1937. As for the titular women, all prostitutes who sought shelter in church, Weiping says they're looking for unknown actresses with "good foreign language skills" (likely meaning they can speak enough English to act opposite a big Hollywood movie star).

Jinling is described as a Schindler's List type of epic film by the producer. And at a cost of $100 million, the film's budget is the biggest yet for Yimou, who has become mainland China's most internationally famous director with arthouse dramas like Raise the Red Lantern and action spectacles like Hero. The reported price tag also puts Jingling above John Woo's recent two-part epic Red Cliff as the most expensive Asian film yet.

With one of those three actors on board, even if only for a small part, Yimou could also see his highest international gross. He'd probably need to feature some of his stylish action showpieces to bring in the large crowd that went to see Hero in American multiplexes, though it's doubtful Jingling will feature such large-scale war sequences if it wants to be on the level with Schindler's List.
