Other celebrities that should have video games too


Being a true Renaissance man, 50 Cent now has his own video game. You can watch the trailer for "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand" here.  In the game, 50 Cent performs somewhere in the war-torn Middle East but instead of cash the show promotor pays him with a diamond encrusted skull. To society's collective dismay, 50 gets robbed on the way to the airport and he and his weed carriers have to utilize all manner of rocket launchers and military rigs to get it back... while still managing to get the girl. How do you like him now? 

This has opened the door for other celebrities to get their own games too:

1. "Katie Holmes: Pie-n-tology." The player, as Katie, must bake pies for Tom Cruise who is costumed in his Risky Business ensemble of shirt and sunglasses. The pies get increasingly more difficult to create, from simple apple to something with a crumb topping. There's a secret final level where Katie bakes a pie with glass shards in it and then must escape into the night with Suri tucked into a knapsack. Multiple player mode involves a series of mini games that include timed pie baking, scaling brick walls and giving birth while not making noise.

2. Lauren Conrad goes on dates with different men starting with the backstage intern for J.Lo and ultimately with the third and unknown Madden brother. You get to choose her outfits, what she orders at dinner, what club she goes to and whether she calls Lo, Whitney or Audrina after each date for girl talk. Okay so not that much happens and it's kind of boring...

3. There's a trenchcoat flasher terrorizing the neighborhood and Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe must find and apprehend him. But then it turns out that the flasher might actually be Radcliffe himself, given his penchant for being edgy and naked. The final round is a Radcliffe v. Racliffe showdown and oh, it's brutal.
