50 Cent will soon be able to add radio producer/personality to his list of credits when "G-Unit Radio" takes over Eminem's Sirius hip-hop radio channel, Shade 45, on Saturdays starting in March. The Queens rapper will produce and host weekly programming for the channel along with DJ Whoo Kid. 50 will talk about his new venture Friday night at 8 p.m. ET on Shade 45. P. Diddy has been added as a presenter for Sunday's 77th Academy Awards, marking his first time on the Oscar stage. Mike Myers is also a late addition.
Michelle Branch, who married her bassist, Teddy Landau, last May, is pregnant. The singer is due in August, according to her rep. Jennifer Lopez told People magazine that her life with Marc Anthony is "more normal than it's ever been." Acknowledging that she exchanged vows with Anthony in the backyard of her home in the Hollywood Hills on June 5 the singer said that their marriage is no longer a secret: "Yes, we're married. I mean, come on, everybody knows." She also told the magazine that while she's enjoyed being a stepmom to Anthony's three kids, she's hoping for children of her own. "One healthy baby would be enough for me," she said.

For a creature that may or may not actually exist, Sasquatch has some killer taste in music. The mythical man-beast has lined up Kanye West, the Pixies, Modest Mouse and a host of others to play the 2005 Sasquatch! Music Festival, to be held May 28 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. Tickets are $55 (Sasquatch gotta eat!) and go on sale Saturday though the House of Blues Web site (www.HOB.com).
