Chart-topping rapper T.I. has dropped a request to allow extra
guests into his house for a Turkey Day celebration

T.I., born Clifford Harris, dropped the request today
(November 8), citing strong opposition from
prosecutors handling the high profile case.

Prosecutors claimed that T.I. was seeking special treatment and said that since his
release, he has submitted a list with 95 names, making it difficult for court officials to
conduct background checks on each individual.

The 27-year-old rapper is charged with illegally purchasing three machine guns and two
silences in an Atlanta parking lot, hours before the BET Awards on October 13.

He pleaded not guilty to three charges of illegally possessing silencers and machine guns.

T.I. was released on $3 million dollars bond on October 26.

I know we’ve been seeing 50 Cent with a “cast” on his arm, but
that’s not the case at all. From what I understand, 50 was actually involved in a
motorcycle accident and scraped up his arm or something. It’s definitely not
broken though.

I heard 50 Cent is the romantic type even though he raps about not loving “da h-
words.” Over the weekend, he supposedly sent a plane of candy, roses, rose
petals, cake and chocolate to Ciara during the World Music Awards! Since its her
22nd birth day, I heard he said he would give her 22 parties in various hot spots
across the nation

She is a lady in the streets and a freak in the bed…and on tape! This is going to
be excellent for the adults… “Kim Kardashian Superstar Part 2” is coming to you!
(Absolutely no pun intended.) This thing is going to be a 100-minute sexual
bonanza, where we get to see Kim at her wildest! I heard this one is super uncut
and uncensored. It’s so uncut, I heard that Ray-J is still in there. Now, maybe they
need a cut version? Anyway, this sucker is probably just as dry and wack as the
last one, but you never know. Ray-J Wins.

RIHANNA GETS CARRIED AWAY!

No, some dude didn’t pick her up. But Rihanna is asking that. The Sun reports
that Ri Ri demanded a police escort to a concert date in Dublin.

Ri Ri says that the traffic is way too bad for her to NOT be escorted. What if
she was late or something? Well, I also heard it is for security reasons, but no
matter the answer is, NO.”

I heard they said they will accommodate a bunch of other things, but all the
police escort stuff is a no no for Ri Ri.

GOOD GIRL GONE BAD!!!!

An African-American man has been charged with the noose
vandalism of a Tupac statue at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center
for the Arts.

Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts was vandalized early on
the morning of October 20. Fliers bearing rants about various
rappers, Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 were plastered to the
Tupac statue and a noose was left hanging around its neck.

43-year-old Dekalb resident, Kenneth Anthony Wilson, was charged with the
felony, second degree criminal damage to property, on Thursday (Oct. 1),
according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Wilson, who is of African-American descent, has not been charged with a hate
crime because according to Dekalb Police spokesperson Mekka Parish, the
investigators had no reason to believe the crime was motivated by race. Wilson is
being held on $1,500 bond.
