An Atlanta judge has ordered T.I. to increase the child support payments received by the mother of his two sons, LaShon Dixon. Tip had originally been paying about $3,000 per month to support his two sons, ages 7 and 9 but Dixon sought to increase those payments when she felt that her sons needed “to be equal” in both households (her words…peep the video), asking the court to raise the payments to $10,000 per month. Yesterday the judge ordered T.I. to increase his payments to $5,000 per month:

T.I., who was originally ordered to pay for the boys to attend private school, is no longer required to make that payment. The judge, Bensonetta Tipton Lane, also ordered the performer to pay half of the children’s extracurricular activities and all their medical expenses.

The judge ordered joint custody of the boys to continue, with Dixon granted primary physical custody. He’ll have visitation every other weekend.

Dixon’s attorney, Randy Kessler, says the woman is “very grateful” for the judge’s decision and called it “a complete victory.” (Source)

Damn…Damn…Damn…I can’t find the mugshot yet but it’s coming!  Gucci Mane, aka Radric Davis, was arrested yesterday by Henry County Police following a routine traffic stop and charged with DUI among other things. (more…)

OK…OK…I know you’re tired of all the Rick Ross jokes, but this post is serious.  In my quest for mug shots today, I found Rick Ross’ shot from January 2008.  We all know he lied about being a corrections officer, but doesn’t this ALMOST give him his street cred back.  I mean…he was actually arrested for a FELONY for carrying a concealed gun and was also charged with a misdemeanor for pot possession.  Funny thing is…all of this occured in Miami, and he was probably locked up in the same jail he used to patrol in his tight polyester pants!

Zillz has proclamed that today is video day…so I’m going to drop in and add one more!  TMZ got a hold of the video footage of the waffle house fight that got Kid Rock locked up the “A”.  Well, word on the street is that the video proves that Kid Rock is frontin and that he’s really a racist redneck.  Hmmm…I dunno if the video says that…but I do know ole boy was bout to get the beatdown by Kid Rock’s goons! 

There may be some hope for Lil Scrappy’s case in Dekalb County…or not.  Kid Rock has just been sentenced regarding his Waffle House antics in Atlanta last year.  You should probably keep your fingers crossed for Scrappy, however Kid Rock’s legal battles in the “A” just ended with a slap on the wrist: (more…)

Vick Fires Atlanta Attorney!

Michael Vick has decided to fire one of the attorneys representing him in the dogfighting case. 

Daniel R. Meachum, an attorney from Atlanta, will no longer represent the Newport News native who pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge.

Vick sent a letter October 26th cutting ties with Meachum.

His defense team includes Virginia Beach lawyers Larry Woodward and Thomas Shuttleworth and Washington, D.C., attorney Billy Martin. (Source – Fox 5 Atlanta)

Hmmmm…..could this possibly be the attorney who convinced advised him the plead guilty?  Maybe Mike is finally coming to his senses.

I’m no longer disappointed in Michael Vick, just sad.  I really feel bad for him.  As broke as my a$$ is, I really can understand being in default on a loan, so I feel the empathy right here in my pocket heart for him.  

A Canadian bank has filed a federal lawsuit against Vick claiming the disgraced quarterback defaulted on a $2.5 million loan taken out earlier this year.   (Read More at msnbc.com)
