America’s Top Selling Rapper Transforms The Lives Of At-Risk Teens In A Series Of Interventions While Grappling With His Own Demons

As he begins counting down the days to his impending March 2009 sentencing for weapons charges, Grammy-winning superstar T.I. finds himself at a remarkable crossroads. At the very apex of his career, he’s facing up to 30 years of jail time for an arrest stemming from his earlier life. However, as part of a deal worked out between his lawyers and the federal government, if he completes an amazing 1000 hours of community service during the year ending this March, that sentence may be reduced. At 27, finding himself at the very high- and low-point of his adult life, he’s seeking redemption in helping others avoid the mistakes he made.

In the new docu-series “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” cameras follow T.I.’s efforts to save himself by saving others. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” is a moving title. Each week, the title will change to reflect the amount of time left to his sentencing. The final episode will air shortly after T.I.’s fate is revealed. In order to communicate his message, he has to give each teenager a tough love lesson in life and show them the consequences of what could happen if they continue down the wrong path. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” will premiere on Tuesday, February 10 at 9:00PM (ET/PT). Subsequent episodes will air in the show’s regular time slot at 9:30pm (ET/PT).

US Airway Plane Down in the Hudson River

A US airway airbus went down in the Hudson river with 127 passengers on board. The pilot landed the plane in the water without submerging it.

All of the passengers were able to escape safely to life rafts. Passengers on board reported hearing a loud bang and smoke filled the fuselage.

Witnesses saw the plane go into the water shortly after it took off from LaGuardia. Much of the plane is still above the water but it is starting to go under.

Is there really a need for a “behind the scenes” look of a hair color commercial, especially when Beyoncé wears wigs 90% of the time? (LINK)




 

Celeb Style: Kimora Lee

Normally I wouldn’t honor Kimora Lee with her own post — simply because she sent her 5th Avenue legal goons after me last year.

Which wasn’t very nice.

But I had to post these pictures of Kimora and Djimon Hounsou lunching in LA with her leather Hermès. I’m no expert, but that looks like a 35 cm Hermès which retails for around $14,999.

Ah that bag is so butta!

Rihanna Covers Hype Hair Magazine

Loyal reader Takeisha sent this in. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first Hype Hair cover in a decade that features a subject with her real hair growing out of her scalp. Rihanna looks stunning as usual.




 

R.I.P. S2S Forums

One of my favorite forums is officially dead.

The once vibrant and lively Sister2Sister celebrity fan forums used to be one of my first stops in the morning in search of the low down on celebs and other entertainment news.

But the webmaster, or whoever is in control over there, allowed the forums to be overrun by spammers.

A few of the longtime members like Lee Lee and ADAWIL made a valiant effort to save a once great forum, but sadly their efforts failed.

Pouring out a little liquor for the S2S forums. :cya:
