We're not sure what to say about 50 Cent's decision to launch a line of face-pampering cosmetics for men, so we'll just start with the facts. It's being reported that the street-hardened rapper is currently in the final stages of development on a male cosmetics line. According to a unnamed source, "his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered, but the supplements will make it more butch." Exactly what we'd expect from Fiddy, right?

Of all the rappers out there, 50 Cent would be close to the last guy we'd trust for our manscaping, moisturizing or pampering needs. Last in line would be Lil Wayne -- obvs. Our best guess is that 50 Cent is getting sick and tired of Kanye hogging the spotlight with his LV loafers and fashion jetsetting. Now Fiddy's found a way to get in on the action.



The same source tells us that: "50 prides himself on having a ripped body... he's on a health kick and barely touches alcohol." Whoa, that's hardcore. Maybe cosmetics are the next big trend in the world of hip hop. Fiddy's probably in front of his mirror right now, applying guyliner. Does that mental image make you giggle?

Aside from obvious questions about 50 Cent being a poster boy for male cosmetics, there's also the practical reality check: is there really enough room in the male cosmetics market for all these newcomers? Any men out there who use cosmetics regularly, are you likely to switch to a brand designed by the guy who brought us In Da Club?
