Eating McDonald's onstage for 30 days." "Morgan works well because like you said, he did a lot of documentary movies," Niall Horan added. "That's more so what we want our movie to be. It's going to be a concert movie, but with a documentary side than concert side so we wanted to give it like get our personalities across because the fans know us, but we want them to know us deeper."

50 Cent's debut LP, Get Rich or Die Tryin', will hit its tenth birthday on February 6, 2013, and the rapper will celebrate by releasing his fifth solo album, Street King Immortal, shortly thereafter. 50 tweeted that the new record will finally be out on Febraury 26. Speaking to MTV News about both albums, the rapper stated: "Hold me to the greater quality. Don't hold me to the exact content, don't hold me to the production, don't play both albums next to each other and say, 'Which track do I like better?'" He went on to point out how much he's grown in the years since he started releasing major-label LPs. "Just listen to the actual project itself and you'll see the growth and how I'm seasoned," 50 said. "I'm 10 years in now. I'm not under any circumstances in a position that I'm not comfortable or able to function in any area of entertainment at this point."
