Bette Midler has been dealing out glowing praise for 50 Cent, who has been helping the singer's New York Restoration Project build a public garden in his childhood neighbourhood. She says: "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."
And it's not all one sided. Fiddy seems quite taken with Midler and told reporters at a spring picnic for the Restoration Project: "Look how beautiful things are and how nice it feels when I'm around her. 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."
Midler added: "I really can't rap, but I'd like to sing in the background on 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He is such a gorgeous star - holy cow! He's like the Godfather of Jamaica, Queens".
