50 Cent and I clearly have a different definition of friendship. And I think I like his a hell of a lot more than mine. While I always thought it meant being there for the other person in good times and bad, occasionally drinking too much with them, complaining about men together, and having the occasional naked pillow fight, 50’s idea of friendship involves lavish vintage gifts. And I think that makes a hell of a lot more sense.
50 Cent knows how to treat his costars. Not content to drop off a basket of sugar-free muffins with a note saying “You were totally in the moment,” the rapper-thespian gave his Streets of Fire costar Val Kilmer a car, according to In Touch Weekly.
And not some tax-write-off clunker, either.
Fiddy bestowed on Kilmer a 1965 Chevy Impala said to be worth $100,000. The two, who play police officers dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, bonded over their appreciation of classic vehicles, which led the rapper to give one of his very own autos to Kilmer.
Really? “Yes he did,” Fiddy’s rep told us. No word on Kilmer’s thank-you plans, but you can be sure of this: Muffins just ain’t gonna cut it.

Sounds like the start of a bromance to me. And what a way to kick it off. At first I thought 50 might have some kind of non-sexual crush on Val Kilmer, a la that famous Seinfeld episode. But then I saw a picture of Val Kilmer, and… I have a policy of never making fun of someone’s weight. But let’s just say that if there were ever a time I would consider breaking that rule, it’d be right now. So I’m pretty sure there’s no crush going on here. But I think that explains E!’s joke about the sugar free muffins.
Either way, I think it’s very important that I star in a film with 50 Cent. I’d just like a Honda, thanks.

I love that E stopped with the “50”, and just gave in to “Fiddy”.
Hooked on Phonics worked for me.
That was for services rendered on Long Island last week. Who knew Val had a side job?
What has happend to Val Kilmer? I thought that was Gary Busey!
LMAO @ #3 comment
Oh time has been cruel…. I used to trip over myself and others to see a val kilmer flick, now he looks like that creepy uncle every family has.
Oh well Ive still got batman
Does anyone else think that Pete Wentz could pass as Val Kimer’s love child? I see a lot of similarity in the face.
but its a bit creepy that he is fighting with his ex gf mother of his child over the right to live in a house but is just throwing away a vintage 100k car to some aging actor who once played batman… am i the only one who sees this as being a tad twisted? 🙄
duda: maybe he’s paying off Val for setting the fire… 😯
Now that Alexis mentioned it, he DOES look like Gary Busey!! 😆
I think he’s looking more like Ellen de Generous…
OH SNAP!!!!! Good one Trillion…Gal Kilmer! That expression on his face says birth of the blind mudfish to me.
duda, I totally agree.
