It doesn’t get much weirder than this — the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Marv Albert and 50 Cent (yes, the real announcer and real rapper) got in a fight (yes, with fists and punches and stuff) backstage while appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. WTF.
As Albert arrived, with an entourage of one, TNT public relations specialist Jeff Pomeroy, there was a sudden scuffle when a multitude of 50 Cent protectors seemed unfamiliar with Albert. There was shouting (”It’s Marv Albert,” yelled a Kimmel show guard, a pronouncement that seemed to have no effect on the 50 Cent phalanx.) There were obscenities. A fist or two flying. A “Don’t you put your hands on me” pronouncement.
And finally Albert made it to his waiting room, relatively unruffled but slightly puzzled. “Did you see that?” Albert said. “I thought they were kidding, but then I realized they weren’t.”
How the hell does someone like 50 Cent see someone like Marv Albert and get freaked out by that he might represent any sort of danger? Marv got caught dressing up in women’s unds and Fitty gets shot for fun — there is absolutely no possible explanation as to why he would think that he could be in any sort of harm’s way. Unless he just wanted to randomly slap someone with his Candy Stick. That he got from his Magic Shop.
So, yeah, a fairly weird scene to say the least. But, as my girl Lucille Bluth would say, “I don’t know who that is and I don’t care to find out.”
