Video ~ T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go Preview

Jan, 15 2009 | Written by zillz

TI has a new show and it looks promising. I’ve always thought that we all should take some time and mentor somebody who needs it. Not necessarily have a reality show to film it, but TI sets a good example here for the masses.

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 timeslot at 9:30pm (ET/PT).

Mugshot Mania ~ Ex-BART Officer Arrested on Murder Charge

Jan, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

Ex-BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) officer Johannes Mehserle was finally arrested Tuesday on a fugitive warrant charging homicide. Mehserle is accused of murder in the fatal shooting death of Oscar Grant, III. The incident was captured on video by several witnesses on the train and has since created a public outcry for justice.

Mehserle, 27, was taken into custody in Douglas County, Nevada at about 7 p.m. (10 p.m. ET), Sgt. Dan Coverly of Douglas County Sheriff’s Office told CNN affiliate KGO-TV in San Francisco.

Mehserle resigned from his job as a BART police officer days after the shooting. The transit agency’s police force and Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff are investigating the incident.

Grant, a 22-year-old father, was killed on New Year’s Day in a crowded BART train station. Police had been called to the Fruitvale station after passengers complained about fights on a train and took Grant and several other people off the train once they arrived.

Videos from witnesses show Mehserle shooting Grant in the back as another BART officer kneeled on the man. The shooting spawned public outrage and a string of protests that led to more than a hundred riot-related arrests.

Police have not said whether Grant had been involved in the fight.

Referring to Mehserle’s arrest, BART said, “This comes after the BART Police Department conducted a thorough investigation that involved nine detectives, which BART Police turned over to District Attorney Thomas Orloff on Monday, Jan. 12.”

Leads led investigators to Mehserle in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. Contacted through his attorney, Mehserle surrendered. He was taken into custody at 6:20 p.m. PT without incident.

Jail staff report that Mehserle has cooperated and is in a segregated area and on a precautionary health and welfare watch. (Source)

Tatted Up ~ Shaq’s Accuser Sports New “Shaq” Tatt

Jan, 14 2009 | Written by ATLien

Alexis Miller, aka Mary Jane, is working overtime to remain relevant since filing and dismissing stalking charges against Shaquille O’neal.? The jumpoff has apparently assembled a team to market her so-called rap career and recently sent pics out to several blogs displaying what appears to be a tatted replica of Shaq’s “Superman” tattoo.? The email I received stated:

“WHOA! WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT SHAQ AND MARYJANE ARE BACK TOGETHER! SHE’S SHOWING OFF THEIR MATCHING TATTOOS ON HER MYSPACE PAGE PICS!!!!! PLEASE POST.”

My spidey senses are tingling with this one. How the hell does she want ME (of all people) to believe that she and Shaq have kissed and made up just because her dumb “A”zzzz went and got tatted up! Like…for real though. My boo can’t possibly be that stupid… 😯 Girl bye!

Quick Flix ~ “Notorious” Atlanta Screening

Jan, 13 2009 | Written by ATLien

Here are a few flix from last night’s Atlanta screening of “Notorious.”? DJ Drama, Trey Songz, Gorilla Zoe and more posed for red carpet pics. As you can see, DJ Drama was photographed showing no signs of a beat down. I was there…so I know for a fact that there WAS indeed a suffle, but I was too busy trying to get away for the melee to find out what was up.? AllHipHop caught up with Drama’s camp today and got some clarificaiton:

According to Aphilliates Music Group president La The Darkman, DJ Drama was assaulted by members of Young Jeezy?s entourage last night (January 12), yet walked away from the incident unscathed. ?There was a little scuffle. At a movie screening,? La told AllHipHop.com, ?A little thing that got handled. Fake thugs with low self esteem want to pick on the DJ?s. We definitely didn?t initiate this though. DJs don?t go looking for beef with fake gangstas.”

So…now that we’ve cleared up any misconceptions that Drama got beat down can we please move on? 😕

Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Sheree Whitfield has decided to dismiss her divorce appeal against her ex-husband, Bob Whitfield.? Documents reveal that the former Atlanta Falcon is BROKE and hasn’t even paid his child support for the past 15 months. “To date, Bob Whitfield has paid $425,000 of the court-ordered $775,000 to his ex-wife. But he has not paid any child support since the final divorce judgment was signed in October 2007.” says Sheree’s attorney Michael Weinstock.

Sheree’s dream of a seven-figure settlement has gone up in smoke and apparently the diva has accepted the bitter truth about her ex’s finances. The 2400 sq ft. home Sheree displayed on the show was awarded to her ex in the divorce decree but Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. is now advertising that it plans to foreclose Continue Reading…

Usher’s “Grape” Bites the Dust

Jan, 13 2009 | Written by ATLien

(PhotoSource)

Usher’s Inman Park franchise of The Grape Restaurant has officially closed it’s doors. The location opened to widespread publicity in late 2006 but the spot ? a wine bar, bistro and wine retailer rolled into one ? did not reopen in the New Year and also did not renew its liquor license with the Georgia Department of Revenue.

Currently, three local branches of the Grape remain: in the Vinings Jubilee shopping center, Phipps Plaza and Atlantic Station. The Atlanta-based Grape Enterprise Group Inc., which both owns and franchises shops mostly throughout the Southeast, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November. Its franchise locations, such as the one in Inman Park, were not party to the filing.

When Raymond Usher IV first met with reporters at the opening of the Inman Park branch wearing a cabernet-purple blazer, he spoke of opening franchises in locales as far flung as Shanghai and South America. Those plans never came to fruition.

A request for comment from Usher?s publicist was not returned by the time of publication. (Source)
