Here's what's trending around the web this week. 50 Cent. >> 50 Cent man, I think he has the diet for me. >> 50 Cent did pretty intense diet actually to prepare for an upcoming movie role. He walked on the treadmill for 3 hours a day and he had an all- liquid diet. Now Steve, you're the movie guy. Is he gonna win an Oscar for this transformation? >> Well, I don't-- transformations I think once people are so well- established kind of freak people out. >> I mean 50 Cent has this whole thug rapper thing going and now he looks like a really skinny God. >> I think you could be in a month. >> No. Like 54. So Steve, did you leave Facebook on Monday? >> I didn't leave Facebook. I didn't even realize that was the actual official day there's been so much talk about it though. >> Monday was quit- Facebook day. >> Uh- hmm >> Lots of people were upset about the privacy settings, lots of people who were upset feeling their information wasn't protected. >> But did you quit? >> No, I mean, no one quit Facebook. That was sort of the thing, is that this thing was a buzz. >> Well, who decided that quit- Facebook that would be a holiday whenever I'm just traveling and barbecuing anyway. >> Yeah, Facebook survives. So Steve, you didn't quit Facebook, are you still on Twitter? >> Still on Twitter, still appreciating. I mean this week there were all these fake satirical Twitter Feeds this week. >> Apparently, everyone is creating global PR department for sort of in battled-- >> Companies in trouble. >> Countries and companies. So we've got BP Global PR, which is the one that has a ton of followers that's making news this week. >> My favorite tweet there, you could see the whole gallery on newsfeed but there is one way they're pretended like they're at lunch and someone spilled soup on the pants like I have no idea how to start dealing with it. You know, any spilled I can't deal with. >> The other thing with BP in the news this week is everyone is like really eager to give BP a new logo, not like Green Peace actually do a Flickr contest to invite graphic designers to re- imagine the BP logo, only sort of problem with his is they got 200 logos and a lot of them were sort of re- imagining the same thing. I mean, I think every graphic designer in America was like, " Hey, let's take these Green sign and cover it in oil ." And finally, I guess this week, the big thing on Thursday dominating trends is the almost perfect game. I guess technically was a perfect game. So the umpire blue call it first base on the last out that would have given this Detroit Tigers pitcher a perfect game. But what really impresses me was sort of the pitcher's reaction. I guess the-- ump too. I mean the soon as the game was over, the umpire goes over and says, you know, hey, I blew that one and then the Patriot too his credit did not freak out. Did not throw fit. He just smiled and walk off. I mean, what can you do? A lesson for us all. So those are the trends this week. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Week in NewsFeed","description":"TIME NewsFeed's Dan Fletcher and Steve Snyder discuss the top trending stories of the week, including the 50 Cent diet and the perfect game/ imperfect call.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/x0k5B8hU/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-06-04T20:22:18.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/x0k5B8hU.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/x0k5B8hU/","duration":"PT2M34S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/x0k5B8hU/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
