The Unlikely Couple: 50 Cent & Bette Midler
50 Cent and Bette Midler are in a serious discussion about doing a duet together. Can you imagine this pairing? Neither can I.
50 was quoted as saying: "Me and Bette collaborating would be really hot. But I'd need to make something new for her. For the right song, we'd definitely get together."
Bette added: "He is one of the newest members of our tribe. He has really made my life worth living. 50 has been with me through thick and thin. I really can't rap, but I'd like to sing in the background on 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
How did these two become friends?
PEOPLE reports: The two joined forces Monday to celebrate the opening of "The Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson Community Garden" in Queens, New York.
"I called and nagged him," Midler said, describing how she got 50 Cent involved with the garden. "His G-Unity Foundation gives a million dollars away every year in grants to non profits all over the city ... They're just brilliant."
"I wish I had this to come to when I was growing up around here," he said. "The opportunity to create this garden for the youth and the community is a great one."
Besides, he noted, "When Bette calls you don't say 'no.' Not if you want your reputation to stay the way it is."
