YOU'RE THE LAST GUY on the planet I'd call a Men's Fitness Man. You've been shot nine times and stabbed; you've dealt coke and done time. But damn, you look good. You're cleaned up, you're successful, you get any girl (don't lie!), and you even have your own fitness drink, Hell, on VH1 and in the halls of this magazine, I call you the man of metal. So what's your next move, "Fitty"?

Your early returns on the record indicate that you've still got it. The first single, "Disco Inferno" sports heavy iTunes rotation and by early February was at No. 7 on Billboard's singles chart and climbing. Meanwhile, you're shooting a flick, Locked and Loaded, based on your own life, while in the early stages of developing a reality series that's part-Puffy, part-Bachelor.

With all that in mind, it's easy to you're "metal"!
