T.I Finally Sentenced!!

Today is the day that T.I's life is about to change. He went to court today in Atlanta, Georgia this morning to see about his sentencing for felony weapon charges. Clifford "T.I.P" Harris made a plea bargin a while back saying that he was going to serve 1000 hours of community service to reduce his 32 year sentence. He also has to serve 500 hours after his sentence and pay a fine of $100,000. I blogged about T.I's show a while back called "T.I's Road to Redemption" and all of that hard work trying to change young adults life has paid off. So now T.I has 6 to 8 weeks until its time for him to go to prison to serve one year and a day. It has been reported from MTV that after his was released out of the court house he went straight home to celebrate with his family. Speaking of his show, the season finale is going to be on March 31st on MTV at 8 pm. IT's called "T.I's Road To Redemption: The Reckoning." So if you want to see how he prepared to go to court to hear his sentencing, you should tune into that.


A lot of people was surprised by the outcome of this show. Many thought that after he spent the day with these troubled young adults, that they wouldn't change and go right back to doing wrong. But that wasn't the case at all, a lot of them changed for the better! I think that they had a special connection to T.I is because he actually lived it and overcame what they were going through. While being on the show T.I was asked if he was going to be in protective custody or in general population while in prison and he said that he was going to be doing general population. He states that he can't be in his cell 23 hours a day, while everyone else gets to play chess and watch tv. Some of the people lives that he has changed from the show are Pee Wee (18 year old drop out from Atlanta, GA), Trey (15 years old who is involved in gang banging), Anthony(18 years old who is a member of the gang "Crips"), Edwin( who is a struggling father, who steals from people to support his family), Mario (18 years old who is known for always shooting others), Cynthia (who was witnessed her brother get killed and is involved in a gang) and Donald (18 years old and has had a troubling past but is sticking to the positive side of life).

Now his first CD wasn't all that hot except for the hit songs that he made videos to, but everyone is saying that this 2nd Album called "Love vs Money" makes up for the first one.

Kanye West Going 2 Jail

Kanye West is known for a lot, his swagg, creativity, out spoken personality and for his many hit records. To most of his fans, it is shocking to hear that he might be getting sentenced to two in a half years in prison. The story is that he and his road manager (Don C) were at the airport and got into a little altercation with a member of the paparzzi. This happened back in September of 2008 but they were officially charged yesterday. The charges against Kanye and his manager are vandalism, grand theft, and battery. It seems like now-a-days a lot of celebrities are being arrested and charged with a lot of stuff that can really be avoided. Some people think that the fame and living the rich life puts them above the law and it doesn't so in the end these celebrities end up in a place they really shouldn't be. Kanye West is suppose to be going to court April 14th to be arragined.

College Hill 2009

Another season of College Hill is back on BET. If you have enjoyed all of the other seasons of College Hill, you will love this one. For those who have never seen this show, its almost like the real world but the people are in college and the majority of them are African American. This is the 6th season of College Hill and this one is taking place in South Beach, Florida. The locations of College Hill previous seasons were: The Virgin Islands, Atlanta, Oklahoma, Virginia, ans Louisiana. The colleges that the cast members went to were Southern University, Langston University, Virgin State University, and there were a lot of different colleges in the College Hill Atlanta, like Clark, George State, Morehouse, and West Georgia. This show is really interesting to me because its more than young adults partying and having fun, they actually go to school and make decisions in their own lives. Also, there was a College Hill Interns that wad located in Chicago, Illinois. It was very different from the regular College Hills because it was a competition to win an internship. From looking at the previews and commericals of this show, it seems like this season is going to be the one with the most fights plus more!!! It premieres Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 9pm. Here is a little about

the cast of the show:

Brandon: The House Eye Candy

Tiffany: The Cheerleader

UGGS

Teenage Girls are wearing a specific label that is standing out in a good way. UGGs are what every girl either has or want. They are comfortable, not all that expensive, and come in many different colors and styles. The most common UGGs that people are wearing are the slipper clogs and the boots. They can come with or without fur and can go with almost anything you decide to wear. If you want to wear shorts, sweats and even something dressy. They cost around $90 but the price may vary, depending on where you go and find them and what kind of style you get. In Cedar Rapids, you can go to Lindale Mall and in the department store Von Maur to get some. So if you want to join a new trend and be comfortable doing it, you should buy UGGs.
