It’s probably one of the most unlikely friendships ever created in show business: 50 Cent and Bette Midler.
Yes, the hip-hop impresario and the legendary singer-actress are tight. “Little Jewish lady and the great big rapper,” the Divine Miss M tells me. “He’s such a doll. I love him. He’s gorgeous.”
The two originally bonded over gardening. Yeah, gardening…
Midler’s environmental group, the New York Restoration Project, and 50 Cent collaborated on the development of a public garden in his childhood neighborhood in Jamaica, Queens.
Fiddy immediately jumped on board when Midler came calling. “He never asked how much,” she says. “He just said, Where do I sign?”
