Danica Patrick’s Indianapolis 500 problems are still growing. It’s been bad news for Danica Patrick leading into Indianapolis 500’s run Sunday even since her controversial comments last Saturday. Local news report this weekend that Danica’s problems coming into Sunday’s run are bigger than qualifying behind Ana Beatriz and Simona de Silvestro.

Controversy over Danica Patrick’s comments about her Indy team is still growing. Yet, Randy Bernard, the new CEO of IRL, tells press this weekend that IndyCar is happy to have Danica at front and center for its image.

“I’m a firm believer that the credibility of this sport has to start with creating a very credible ladder system. I think we need to take it one step further and create a grassroots program with karting.”

“Helio [Castroneves, who Sunday will be going for a fourth Indy 500 win] and Danica have to become heroes to those young kids in order for them to want to come up.”

But many fans aren’t seeing it the same. After her qualifier, Danica Patrick gave comments which have tarnish her image in the face of fans, some already bothered with visit from IndyCar to Nascar. Patrick too the IMS system and blamed her team for her 23 of 24 qualifying spot.

“[It's] a good car with a bad setup. It’s not my fault. The car is not good. Quickly fans booed Patrick. Hours later, Patrick responded to the outrage from fans

“Shoot, I say one confident thing out there — that it’s not me — and everybody boos me. I’m blown away. These people — I mean, I don’t know, maybe they all booed me before. I would think that some of them cheered for me before. I’m not a different driver than I was five years ago.”

Patrick’s comments on the Pagoda video board from that qualifying effort last Saturday have prompted FOX News to report Patrick is “still hearing boos” at Indy.

50 Cent explains how he did it:

“Yeah, they’re absolutely real. I shot the first half of the film for eight days and then I left for my international tour, and I spent that time training to lose weight. I had a week and a half after coming back to really intensely train to get down to 160 for the last half of the film project, Things Fall Apart.

“It was a lot for me to actually get there. After the second week, it was crazy. They say it takes 30 days to make a habit, but man… I was on the Internet and I was looking at Christian Bale, while The Machinist was out, he almost killed himself. I was feeling like maybe I’m overdoing it and I’m dropping 54 pounds, but I was in such a good physical state prior to me deciding to go down on the weight.”

He adds how he came up with the roll in the first place.

“It’s myself, Mario Van Peebles, Ray Liotta, Lynn Whitfield, and it’s a project that I wrote, produced and financed myself. It’s about a Heisman hopeful who could possibly be going to the league and everyone is assuming he’s gonna make it, and then he’s hit with an illness. I had a friend of mine who actually experienced cancer, and it’s what motivated me to write this screenplay. You don’t have to make everything personal, but that project was. That’s why I committed to playing a role where I lost 54 pounds. I had to discipline myself enough until I achieved it but … I got it.”
