T.I. Headed Back To Atlanta; Drugs Found Were Reportedly Ecstasy Pills (UPDATE)

Carol Blackmon — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:00:49 +0000

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that T.I. is headed back to Atlanta and may soon be ordered to face the federal judge who signed off on an extraordinary deal that shaved years off a potential prison term.

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News has learned that the controlled substance found in T.I. and Tiny’s vehicle were pills suspected to be the drug Ecstasy.

The newlyweds were pulled over on Sunset Blvd. after their Maybach made an illegal U-turn, according to a source.

“It was a regular traffic violation. Then deputies smelled marijuana emitting from the car, and that’s when the narcotics investigation ensued,” Sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told the NY Daily News. “They found pills resembling Ecstasy. The pills are being tested.”

According to the AJC, T.I.’s arrest could trigger a motion by his probation officer. The officer could ask U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. to revoke some of the remaining probation on T.I.’s federal sentence stemming from his arrest on gun charges three years ago. T.I’s probation expires in 2013.

“T.I. is going to be back on his way to Atlanta in the next 24 hours,” Don Samuel, one of T.I.’s lawyers, said Thursday. “It’s almost certain he’ll end up appearing before the court here. But without knowing all the facts, it’s premature to speculate what the court is likely to do.”

Ed Garland, another member of T.I.’s legal team, said the rapper quickly notified the U.S. Probation Office of his arrest, as the conditions of his probation require. The probation officer has instructed T.I. to report to him when the rapper returns to Atlanta, Garland said.

Tiny, 36, (born Tameka Cottle) posted a Twitter message after her release, expressing gratitude to fans:

“Jus wanted 2say thank u 2every1 dats been leaving encouraging msgs & prayers! We love u guys,” she wrote. “Going 2bed now! So glad 2b n a nice clean bed.”

Paula Patton Scores Lead Role In “Mission: Impossible 4″ Film

Carol Blackmon — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:00:01 +0000

Paula Patton has signed onto the new “Mission: Impossible” movie as the female lead, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed.

According to a source close to the film it will not be a “reboot” as has been reported, but it won’t be titled Mission: Impossible IV either.

As for Patton, she’s reportedly playing an up-and-coming agent working with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. But since the film’s plot will likely remain locked in a vault until much closer to the movie’s expected Dec. 16, 2011 release, Patton’s character could be anything from Keri Russell’s character in “Mission: Impossible III” (i.e. a platonic teammate), to Emmanuelle Béart’s role from 1996′s Mission: Impossible (i.e. a seductress and double agent).

Actor Brian White (”I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” “Stomp The Yard”) tied the knot this past Saturday to his new wife Paula Da Silva, who is of Argentinian descent.

Once he began posting pictures from the wedding on Twitter, he received a flurry of reactions from folks who disapproved of his interracial union. While he didn’t respond directly to any of the haters, he retweeted a bunch of other people’s inspirational messages.

Seems that it all started once @AmericaNewsNow asked: “Yes, she’s gorgeous but why you wanna do all the other sisters like that??”

Carol Blackmon — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:00:22 +0000

According to the Washington Post, Lloyds of London has written an insurance policy for Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu’s hair.

Polamalu, who missed 11 games last season due to injury, has not cut his hair in over ten years in tribute to his Samoan ancestors. The Samson like tresses have earned him a product endorsement for Head and Shoulders shampoo, whose parent company felt it was necessary to safeguard their investment to the tune of $1 Million.

“They’ve created the first ever insurance policy to protect his iconic mane for the entire NFL season,” Procter & Gamble said in a statement.

There are some other famous body parts that we thing should be insured for at least a million (if they aren’t already). Take a look at our picks.

Usher On His Marriage: “It Just Was Never Going To Work Out 100%”

Carol Blackmon — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:18:06 +0000

Usher recently sat down with People Magazine and spoke in detail about his failed marriage to Tameka Foster and the different personalities of his sons Usher V (aka Cinco) and Nayvid.

In the interview Usher refrains from bashing his notorious ex-wife:

“I appreciate the relationship for what it was,” he says. “Even though it didn’t work out, I’m glad we got together. I love her as the mother of my children; we just couldn’t be married.”

So what went wrong? Usher says that shortly after the birth of their second child, he and Foster started to disagree over everything from parenting style to his busy schedule.

“We’re two different people,” he says, “and we have two different goals. It just was never going to work out 100 percent.”

On his sons personalities:

“Usher [V] is always in everything,” he says. “He’s an instigator. He’s the one who leads his brother astray. I was like that when I was his age.”

Naviyd is more of a follower, doing whatever his big brother does. “So if one gets in trouble, the other one does, too,” says Usher. “They both have a lot of energy. They can wear me out.”

Fortunately, Usher has a babysitter nearby – his mom, Jonetta Patton, lives around the corner. “She spoils them,” Usher says with a sigh. “She lets them do everything that she wouldn’t let me do. Sometimes, when I’m scolding the kids, I sound just like my mom. I’m like, ‘how did Jonetta get in here?’ ”
