Is it VH1′s fault that T.I. was sent back to prison?
Just as we said all along: rapper T.I. being sent back to prison had nothing to do with the luxury motor coach that transferred him from the Forrest City federal facility in Arkansas to an Atlanta halfway house last week.
According to CNN (via Eonline.com), which obtained documents from the Bureau of Prisons, T.I. (real name Clifford Harris Jr.) was sent back to the clink after prison officials learned that a VH1 producer and T.I.’s manager were on the bus.
“Such people were not authorized to travel with him in the conditions of his furlough,” the report states. “[T.I.] further indicated he was discussing a new reality series and a book with those individuals.”
But T.I.’s legal team is adamant that no business was conducted on the bus — even thought the VH1 producer was present for the ride.
“No such business was conducted during that trip as the incident reports,” said T.I.’s co-council Jonathan Leonard.
Also, just as we told you, T.I.’s lead attorney Steve Sadow is now blaming the halfway house officials who “ratted T.I. out” by notifying the feds about the reality TV cameras.
Medical Minute: Pseudocyesis (False pregnancy)
Please note: any photos accompanying this post is used purely for illustration purposes and is not intended to diagnose any ailment or condition of the subject(s) in the photos.
Pseudocyesis, also known as false pregnancy or hysterical pregnancy, is a rare psychological condition in which a woman displays signs and symptoms of a real pregnancy even though she is not pregnant. The average age of women with pseudocyesis is 33.
To be diagnosed as true pseudocyesis, the woman must actually believe that she is pregnant. When a woman’s pseudocyesis is found to be caused by underlying psychological problems, she should be referred to a psychologist or a therapist.
The symptoms of pseudocyesis, or false pregnancy, are similar to the symptoms of true pregnancy and are difficult to distinguish from real pregnancy, even by trained physicians because of false-positive pregnancy tests.
The most common sign of false pregnancy is abdominal distention or a bloated belly that is much larger than expected. The woman’s abdomen (tummy) expands as a normal pregnant woman’s would, but at a more rapid rate than a normal pregnancy.
T.I. Released from Prison (Correction)
The photo above was taken on August 31st at the Forrest City Correctional facility, not today in Atlanta. T.I. remains incarcerated. We apologize for the error.
Just a few moments ago, rap mogul T.I., real name Clifford Harris Jr., 30, was released from the federal Penitentiary on Boulevard in Atlanta. TMZ published a pic of T.I. dragging a cart full of his belongings to the same luxury tour bus that Arkansas prison officials claim was unauthorized when he was transported from their facility to a halfway house in Atlanta.
Additionally, TMZ reports that there were two unauthorized individuals on T.I.’s bus.
According to TMZ.com:
TMZ has obtained photos of T.I. just minutes after he left prison on August 31 … and the photos show he wasn’t hiding anything from the prison staff — including his mode of transportation or who got on his tour bus.
The photos show T.I. in a red shirt, accompanied by a prison guard as he makes his way to the tour bus that carried him and his entourage to a halfway house.
Sources tell us … T.I.’s legal team believes prison officials targeted T.I. when they picked him up at the halfway house and hauled him back to prison, their reason was that T.I. was not authorized to take the tour bus. Yet the pictures clearly show prison staff knew exactly what mode of transportation he was using.
Lil Wayne leads BET Hip Hop Award nominations with 18
It doesn’t matter that Lil Wayne’s 4th CD Carter IV is garbage, it can’t be ignored that he somehow managed to sell almost a million albums in one week. Plus the fact that no other rapper even comes close to his sales this year, so that should account for something.
Yesterday, BET announced its list of nominations for the 2011 Hip Hop Awards, including 18 nominations for the rap gremlin.
Once again Sandrarose.com was ignored in the best blog category. We didn’t even get a mention for the Hustler of the Year award, which we feel we deserve. Not that we care but we thought we would mention the diss.
See the full list of nominees after the break!

Kobe Bryant Joins Twitter Then Deletes His Account
Last night it seemed that NBA mega star Kobe Bryant had become the latest narcissist NBA star to join the wildly popular social networking website Twitter.com. (Raise your hand if you thought Kobe was already on Twitter).
Within the first hour of joining Twitter, the NBA’s bad boy racked up over 18K followers. His @KobeBryant Twitcon was a pic of a black mamba swallowing the iconic tweety bird.
But just a mere two hours after Bryant announced his arrival on Twitter in spectacular fashion — his account was suspended, then deleted. So what happened?
According to super groupie Jill of Jocks and Stilleto Jill blog:
ABC releases pics of Chaz Bono in the dance studio
ABC released candid shots of transgender individual Chaz Bono in the dance studio with dance partner Lacey Schwimmer. Bono’s addition to the upcoming season of ‘DWTS’ resulted in a storm of protest from ABC’s viewers.
In an interview with ABC News last week, Bono said America “really needs to see” a transgender individual on ‘Dancing With The Stars’. How narcissistic of Chaz to say that.
Despite all the vicious hate mail I’ve received on this issue, I refuse to refer to Bono as a man. I will not feed into her delusions in order to be politically correct. Being a man is not as easy as taking hormone shots to grow a beard or wearing a wife beater every day.
