T.I. gets locked up...



T.I. will not be in attendance a this year's taping of BET's Hip Hop Awards. The rapper was arrested just as he was arriving at the redcarpet. 11 Alive news reported earlier today that ATF agents had a warrant to search T.I.'s College Park home. At the time the ATF agents declined to answer any questions pertaining to why the rapper was arrested.

New reports have surfaced that it was a bodyguard of the rapper who "snitched." The bodyguard informed police that he had purchased weapons for T.I., which is illegal due to the rapper's criminal record. According to the ATF agent interviewed, police have been forming a case against the rapper for some time. Police used bank statements and phone records against T.I. in their investigation.

Oh well. This suck for the awards show! T.I. in other interviews spoke of the surprises he had in store for the awards show taping. It's triflin' that the police decided to lock a n***a up on the NIGHT of the awards. Damn.

In case you wanted to be a little nosey here are the ATF documents about the investigation:

Your affiant has received training from ATF in the registration, possession, and identification of machineguns and silencers. Your affiant has conducted and participated in numerous investigations involving Federal firearms violations to include violations of Title 18 and Title 26 of the United States Code. Your affiant's duties and responsibilities involve investigations of violations of Federal criminal laws and your affiant knows that it is a violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 5861(d), for any person to receive or possess a firearm that is not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Your affiant also knows that it is a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g) for a person previously convicted of a felony to be in possession of a firearm.This affidavit is being filed based on the personal knowledge and observations of the affiant and other law enforcement personnel, and interviews with witnesses, and reviews of government and business records, including records, reports, and information from the ATF.This affidavit is intended to support probable cause but it is not intended to convey all the facts of the investigation.On October 2, 2007, an employee of a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) contacted ATF with information regarding an individual who had been inquiring about purchasing a machine gun without registering the weapon as required by law. This individual, who is now a cooperating individual (hereinafter "CW"), was identified by the FFL by name and other identifying information. ATF Agents provided an undercover cellular phone number for the FFL to give to the CW, and told the FFL to tell the CW the number would contact a person with machine guns for sale. The aforementioned cellular telephone number returned to an ATF agent, acting in an undercover capacity (U/C Agent), posing as a "machine gun" seller/dealer. Within hours of receiving the cellular number, the CW telephoned the U/C and had a discussion about the firearms he (U/C) had available for sale. During the conversation, the CW asked if the firearms were "fully" automatic. The CW told the U/C that he was interested in purchasing the machine guns.On October 10, 2007, the U/C contacted the CW and asked him if he was still interested in meeting to purchase the machine guns. the CW stated that he was and agreed to meet at a K-Mart Shopping Plaza located at 5997 Buford Highway, Doraville, Georgia. At approximately, 4:40 p.m., the CW arrived and met with the U/C to observe the firearms, which were actual machine guns. The CW had a further discussion about the firearms firing "fully" automatic. The CW agreed to exchange $2200 and a Bushmaster, Model C-15, .223 caliber pistol, s/n D10867 for the following firearms: an Ingram, Model M-10, 9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 2-3005561, an SWD Inc., 9mm silencer, s/n N767, a Military Armament Corp., 9mm silencer, s/n 2-2001231, a SWD Inc., Model M-11, 9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 86-0008212 and a H&K, Model SP89, 9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 21-17411.During the meeting between the U/C and the CW, the CW questioned the U/C if he (the CW) would get into trouble if law enforcement caught him in possession of the machine guns. The U/C told the CW that the firearms were not legal to possess without the proper paperwork because they had to be registered. The U/C further told the CW there would be a problem if he were caught with them. The U/C told the CW that the aforementioned firearms did not have the required legal paperwork. The CW indicated that he understood and stated that he wanted to purchase the firearms anyway. The exchange of money and guns then took place. The firearms were not registered to the CW in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, nor had the CW applied for the proper paperwork.Following the transfer of the machine guns from the U/C to the CW, the CW was arrested. After his arrest, the CW agreed to speak with agents.During this and subsequent interviews with the CW, the CW told agents the following:The CW stated that he was purchasing the machine guns on 10/12/07 on behalf of another person. The CW stated that he knew it was illegal for him to possess machine guns without properly registering them. The CW said he was buying the machine guns and silencers for CLIFFORD HARRIS, a/k/a "T.I." for whom the CW had been working as a bodyguard since July of 2007. The CW admitted to straw purchasing approximately nine (9) firearms for HARRIS and approximately seventeen (17) additional firearms for individuals other than HARRIS. [Review of records of firearms purchases, ATF Forms 4473, has confirmed that the CW has purchased approximately 25 firearms over the last 18 months.] The CW said that HARRIS gave him cash to buy guns for HARRIS on four different occasions. HARRIS is prohibited from purchasing firearms for himself because he has been convicted of a felony offense, so he asked the CW to purchase the firearms for him (HARRIS). [It is a violation of federal law for a prohibited person, such as a convicted felon, to have another person purchase or acquire firearms for the prohibited person.] On 9/6/07, HARRIS gave the CW cash and asked the CW to buy a Calico 9mm caliber pistol. [The CW is not a convicted felon or otherwise prohibited from purchasing firearms.] The CW bought the pistol at The Gun Store, a federal firearms licensee (FFL), and gave the firearm to HARRIS at his home at 429 Creekview Lane, College Park, Georgia. The CW said that HARRIS resides at 429 Creekview Lane, College Park, Georgia. [Investigation of public records confirmed that 429 Creekview Lane, College Park, Georgia, is a residence associated with HARRIS.This address is within the Northern District of Georgia.] On the same date, when the delivery of the Calico 9mm pistol occurred, HARRIS invited the CW into his bedroom at the house and showed the CW a safe in his (HARRIS's) bedroom. The CW observed the safe inside a walk-in closet in the bedroom. The safe was tall enough for a person to enter, and the CW witnessed HARRIS open the safe using a fingerprint- reading scanner type lock, and possibly a keypad as well. Inside the safe, the CW saw multiple short rifles. HARRIS showed the CW an assault-type rifle in a black bag inside the safe. HARRIS told the CW the weapon was a machine gun.On 9/18/07, HARRIS gave the CW $1000 in cash and asked him to buy a Smith & Wesson .500 caliber revolver. An associate of HARRIS's known as "ALPHAOMEGA" followed the CW to The Gun Store. The CW purchased the revolver at The Gun Store and gave it to "ALPHAOMEGA" to give to HARRIS.On or about 9/26/07, HARRIS called the CW and told him that he(HARRIS) wanted the CW to acquire more firearms for him. HARRIS specifically asked the CW to purchase a Smith & Wesson .460 caliber revolver for him. HARRIS gave $7000 in cash to an associate known as "C-ROD" to give to the CW. The CW went to The Gun Store and purchased7 firearms, (3 rifles and 4 handguns), including the Smith & Wesson .460 caliber revolver. The CW delivered all 7 firearms to HARRIS at HARRIS's house on Creekview Lane. After the CW brought the aforementioned 7 firearms to HARRIS's house, HARRIS directed the CW to bring the guns to HARRIS's bedroom. The CW gave HARRIS the firearms in HARRIS's bedroom. The CW observed HARRIS handle the firearms. [The purchases of firearms by the CW on 9/6/07, 9/18/07, and 9/26/07 were confirmed by ATF agents by reviewing ATF Forms 4473, obtained from The Gun Store.] The CW said that on 10/10/07, HARRIS arranged for the CW to pick up $12,000 in cash from HARRIS's bank - the SunTrust Bank on Northside Parkway in Atlanta. HARRIS instructed the CW to meet with a specific bank employee to get the cash. The CW went to the bank, met with the bank employee, and was given the cash by that bank employee. HARRIS told the CW to use the funds to purchase machine guns for HARRIS.[Investigation has confirmed that there was a $12,000 cash withdrawal from HARRIS's account at SunTrust Bank on 10/10/07. And when the CW was arrested later on that same date, 10/10/07, he was in possession of several thousand dollars in cash.] On 10/11/07, after being arrested and agreeing to cooperate, the CW agreed to make a consensually monitored phone call to HARRIS. At approximately 9:00 pm, after the CW had called HARRIS and left a message for HARRIS to call the CW, HARRIS's primary bodyguard called the CW's cell phone to discuss when the CW was going to be needed to provide bodyguard services for HARRIS. During this conversation, HARRIS, using his bodyguard's phone, began to converse with the CW.The CW told HARRIS that he, the CW, had "everything for you,"referring to the machine guns and silencers he had purchased on HARRIS's behalf. HARRIS replied affirmatively.On 10/12/07 the CW received a consensually monitored call from HARRIS.The CW asked HARRIS when he wanted to take delivery of what the CW had in his possession. HARRIS requested immediate delivery. After the CW told HARRIS he was not available to deliver immediately, HARRIS told the CW he would take delivery Saturday, October 13, 2007. The CW told agents that he and HARRIS were referring to the firearms purchased by the CW for HARRIS on October 10, 2007.Investigation has revealed that HARRIS is a convicted felon, and is prohibited from possessing firearms. On June 1, 1998, HARRIS was convicted of a Violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act in the Superior Court of Cobb County, and received a sentence of 7 years probation. HARRIS has additional arrests and at least one probation violation for unlawfully possessing firearms.A check of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record showed that there is no record of any machine gun or silencer registered to HARRIS.On October 13, 2007, at approximately 10:08 am the CW left a message for HARRIS to call. Between approximately 12:30-1:00 pm, HARRIS called the CW and asked the CW to bring the items to a (recording) studio.The CW suggested instead, as directed by ATF, that they meet at a shopping center parking lot on the corner of Piedmont Avenue and North Avenue in the city of Atlanta, in the Northern District of Georgia.HARRIS told the CW they could meet in about an hour.At approximately 2:22 pm on October 13, 2007, HARRIS arrived at the pre-arranged meeting location. The meeting was consensually recorded.The CW entered the vehicle HARRIS was driving and displayed the silencers and machine guns to HARRIS. When the CW explained the function of one silencer, HARRIS said "no flash no bang." When the CW showed HARRIS one of the machine guns, HARRIS asked the CW what the "E" position on the selector switch signified. The CW explained that the "E" stood for semi-automatic function and that "you know what the "F" is for." HARRIS acknowledged that he did. "F" stands for fully automatic function. HARRIS inquired about ammunition for the firearm, and asked about the capacity of the magazine. HARRIS asked the CW for "change leftover" from the $12,000 he provided the CW to purchase the firearms. HARRIS was then arrested without incident.A subsequent search located three firearms in the vehicle HARRIS was driving, including one loaded firearm tucked in between the driver's seat and the center console.At approximately 2:40 pm on October 13, 2007, a federal search warrant was executed at HARRIS's house at 429 Creekview Lane, College Park, Georgia. In a walk-in closet in the bedroom identified as belonging to HARRIS, agents found a Colt model AR15 .223 caliber rifle, bearing serial number LE033297, a DPMS model AP4 .308 caliber rifle, bearing serial number 14056, and a Calico model L3 9mm caliber pistol, bearing serial number B004397. Agents have confirmed each of the preceding three firearms were the same as those purchased by the CW for HARRIS on September 6, 2007 and September 26, 2007. Agents also found a Colt.44 magnum revolver, a CAI 7.62 x 39 caliber rifle, and a Bushmaster5.56 caliber pistol in the same closet in the same bedroom. Some of the firearms were in the closet, and some were inside the closet inside the safe the CW previously described. Agents also found that five of the firearms were loaded.Title 26, United States Code, Chapter 53 requires that machine guns and silencers be registered with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Title 26, United States Code, Section 5845 defines the firearms to be registered according to this chapter, and included in section 5845(a)(6) a machine gun and section 5845(a)(7) any silencer. Title 26, United States Code, Section 5861(d), makes it unlawful for any person "to receive or possess a firearm which is not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record." Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g) makes it unlawful for any person who has been convicted of a felony offense to possess, in or affecting commerce, firearms.All of the firearms recovered were manufactured in whole or part outside the State of Georgia, and, therefore, moved in or affected interstate commerce.Based on the foregoing facts your affiant respectfully submits that probable cause exists to believe that CLIFFORD HARRIS has committed the offense of possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 5861(d); and of possessing firearms in or affecting interstate commerce, after having been convicted of a felony, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g).AO 93 (Rev. 5/85) Search WarrantUnited States District CourtNORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIAIn the Matter of the Search of(Name, address or brief description of person or property to be search)SEARCH WARRANT429 Creekview LaneCollege Park, Georgia 30349 CASE NUMBER: 1:07-MJ-1196(UNDER SEAL)TO: Special Agent Joel Sheppard, and any Authorized Officer of the United StatesAffidavit(s) having been made before me by Joel Sheppard who has reason to believe thaton the property or premises known as429 Creekview LaneCollege Park, Georgia, 30349, as more particularly described in Attachment Bin the Northern District of Georgia there is now concealed a certain person or property, namelyevidence related to the illegal possession, acquisition and disposition of firearms, more particularly described in Attachment AI am satisfied that the affidavit(s) and any recorded testimony establish probable cause to believe that the person or property so described is now concealed on the person or premises above-described and establish grounds for the issuance of this warrant.YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED to search on or before DATE(not to exceed 10 days) the person or place named above for the person or property specified, serving this warrant and making the search IN THE DAYTIME - 6:00 A.M. - 10:00 P.M. - and if the person or property be found there to seize same, leaving a copy of this warrant and receipt for the person or property taken, and prepare a written inventory of the person or property seized and promptly return this warrant to Linda T.Walker as required by law.October 13, 2007 at Atlanta, Georgia, GeorgiaDate and Time Issued City and StateLinda T.WalkerUnited States Magistrate JudgeName and Title of Judicial Officer Signature of Judicial OfficerAUSA Francey HakesRETURNDate Warrant Received Date and Time Warrant Executed Copy of Warrant and Receipt For Items Left With Inventory Made in the Presence of Inventory of Person or Property Taken Pursuant to the Warrant CERTIFICATION I swear that this inventory is a true and detailed account of the person or property taken by me on the warrant.____________________________________Subscribed, sworn to, and returned before me this date.____________________________________ _________________________U.S. Judge or Magistrate DateAO 106 (Rev. 5/85) Affidavit for Search WarrantUnited States District CourtNORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIAIn the Matter of the Search of(Name, address or brief description of person or property to be search) APPLICATION AND AFFIDAVITFOR SEARCH WARRANT429 Creekview LaneCollege Park, Georgia 30349CASE NUMBER: 1:07-MJ-1196(UNDER SEAL)I, Joel Sheppard, being duly sworn depose and say:I am a(n) Special Agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and have reason to believe thaton the property or premises known as429 Creekview LaneCollege Park, Georgia, 30349, as more particularly described in Attachment Bin the Northern District of Georgia there is now concealed a certain person or property, namely, evidence related to the illegal possession, acquisition and disposition of firearms, more particularly described in Attachment Awhich is property which constitutes evidence of the commission of a criminal offense, and property which has been used as the means of committing a criminal offense,concerning a violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section(s) 922(g), and Title 26, United States Code, Section 5861(d).

Walker issued a federal criminal complaint after the arrest and search, charging HARRIS with the felony offenses of (1) possession of unregistered machine guns [and silencers] and (2) possession of firearms by a convicted felon. HARRIS will be held in federal custody over the weekend and then will make his initial appearance before U.S.Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta on Monday, October 15, at a time to be determined by the court. The United States Attorney's Office and ATF will hold a short news conference afterward at a location to be determined.Copies of the search warrant and criminal complaint are electronically attached."Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated," said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. "The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm. This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns. Thanks to the good and quick work of ATF, he is now in custody and his firearms have been seized.""This investigation developed very quickly," said Vanessa McLemore, Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Atlanta Division. "We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for Harris. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him today.Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns this afternoon. He now faces serious federal charges and a potentially long prison sentence."According to U.S. Attorney Nahmias and the information filed in court: On October 2, 2007, an employee of a federal firearms licensee advised ATF that an individual was seeking to purchase a machine gun without registering the weapon as required by law. The individual was directed to an ATF agent acting in an undercover capacity, posing as a machine gun dealer. Last Wednesday, October 10, 2007, the individual was arrested by ATF after purchasing three unregistered machine guns and two silencers from the undercover agent in exchange for $2,200 and a pistol. The individual then agreed to cooperate with ATF, including with respect to his purpose for obtaining the firearms.The cooperating witness (CW) advised the agents that he was purchasing the machine guns on October 10 on behalf of CLIFFORD HARRIS, aka "T.I.," an entertainer for whom the CW had been working as a bodyguard since July 2007. The CW admitted to straw purchasing about nine firearms for HARRIS and about 17 firearms for other persons on previous occasions. Firearm purchase records confirm that the CW has purchased about 25 firearms over the past 18 months. The CW said that HARRIS gave him cash to buy guns on four occasions. HARRIS asked the CW to purchase the firearms for him because HARRIS has a prior felony conviction and therefore cannot lawfully purchase or possess firearms under federal law, while the CW could lawfully obtain guns.According to the CW, he purchased a Calico 9mm pistol on September 6, 2007, and delivered it to HARRIS at HARRIS' house on Creekview Lane, where he also saw multiple firearms in a safe in the walk-in closet in HARRIS' bedroom. The CW next purchased a Smith & Wesson .500 caliber revolver for HARRIS on September 18, 2007, delivering it to an associate of HARRIS' to give to HARRIS. On or about September 26, 2007, the CW purchased seven more firearms, three rifles and four handguns, using $7,000 in cash provided by HARRIS, and delivered the firearms to HARRIS at the Creekview Lane house.Finally, last Wednesday, October 10, 2007, HARRIS arranged for the CW to pick up $12,000 in cash from HARRIS's bank, telling the CW to use the funds to purchase machine guns for HARRIS. The CW was arrested later that day when he attempted to purchase three machine guns and two silencers from the undercover ATF agent.After agreeing to cooperate with ATF, the CW had a series of telephone calls with HARRIS, which were recorded by ATF with the CW's consent. On Thursday, October 11, 2007, the CW called HARRIS to say that he had"everything for you," referring to the machine guns he was supposed to purchase on Harris' behalf; HARRIS replied affirmatively.On Friday, October 12, 2007, HARRIS called the CW. The CW asked HARRIS when he wanted to take delivery of what the CW had, and HARRIS told the CW that he would take delivery today, Saturday, October 13, 2007.After the CW left HARRIS a message this morning, shortly after noon HARRIS called the CW to arrange the pick up. At approximately2:22 p.m., HARRIS met with the CW in a shopping center parking lot in midtown Atlanta to take possession of the firearms. The meeting was recorded by ATF. The CW entered the vehicle that HARRIS was driving and displayed to HARRIS the two silencers and three machine guns that the CW had purchased from the undercover ATF agent on October 10. When the CW explained the function of one silencer, HARRIS said "no flash, no bang." The CW and HARRIS also discussed the selector switch of one of the machine guns, which switches the gun from semi-automatic to fully automatic fire. HARRIS also asked the CW for "change leftover"from the $12,000 that he provided the CW to purchase the firearms.HARRIS was arrested without incident. A subsequent search of the vehicle located three other firearms, including one loaded gun tucked between the driver's seat where HARRIS had been sitting and the center console.Shortly after the arrest, ATF agents executed a federal search warrant for HARRIS' house at 429 Creekview Lane in College Park. In a walk-in closet in HARRIS' bedroom, the agents found six more firearms (three rifles, two pistols, and a revolver), including three of the guns that the CW had said he purchased for and delivered to HARRIS in September. Five of the six guns were loaded.Members of the public are reminded that the criminal complaint only contains charges. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government's burden to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.This case is being investigated by Special Agents of the ATF, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service, the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton County Police Department, and the Fulton County Sheriff's Department.Assistant United States Attorneys Francey Hakes and Todd Alley are prosecuting the case.For further information please contact David E.

Something to discuss...



In this post I will step away from the usual celebrity gossip. In fact, given the recent events that have taken place within the last months, I feel drained. Most of all I am sad, sick, and disgusted. Enough is enough! After reading the two articles that are to follow, I hope that you feel something on the inside which will tug at you and make you want to DO SOMETHING! We need to do better. It's time for change.



In September 2006, a group of African American high school students in Jena, Louisiana, asked the school for permission to sit beneath a "whites only" shade tree. There was an unwritten rule that blacks couldn't sit beneath the tree. The school said they didn't care where students sat. The next day, students arrived at school to see three nooses (in school colors) hanging from the tree. (Please note, the tree above is not the tree, but a tree at Jena High School.)

The boys who hung the nooses were suspended from school for a few days. The school administration chalked it up as a harmless prank, but Jena's black population didn't take it so lightly. Fights and unrest started breaking out at school. The District Attorney, Reed Walters, was called in to directly address black students at the school and told them all he could "end their life with a stroke of the pen."

Black students were assaulted at white parties. A white man drew a loaded rifle on three black teens at a local convenience store. (They wrestled it from him and ran away.) Someone tried to burn down the school, and on December 4th, a fight broke out that led to six black students being charged with attempted murder. To his word, the D.A. pushed for maximum charges, which carry sentences of eighty years. Four of
the six are being tried as adults (ages 17 & 18) and two are juveniles.

Meagan Williams-Kidnapped and tortured
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Authorities said Tuesday they are considering hate crime charges in the case of a woman who was tortured while being held captive for at least a week, and they are investigating the possibility that she was lured by a man she met on the Internet. The victim was repeatedly called a racial slur while her captors sexually abused, beat and stabbed her, her mother said.
Six people, all white, including a mother and son and a mother and daughter, were arrested in connection with the alleged abduction of the 20-year-old black woman. “I don’t understand a human being doing another human being the way they did my daughter,” Carmen Williams said Tuesday from her daughter’s room at Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital. “I didn’t know there were people like that out here.” Megan Williams, with a cast on her arm, spoke barely above a whisper. “I’m better,” she said.

The woman’s abductors called her the N-word “every time they stabbed her,” Carmen Williams told The Charleston Gazette earlier. Authorities were still looking for two people they believe drove the woman to the house where she was abused, said Logan County Chief Deputy V.K. Dingess. The case is “something that would have come out of a horror movie,” Logan County Sheriff W.E. Hunter said. Deputies found Williams on Saturday when they went to the house in Big Creek, about 35 miles southwest of Charleston, to investigate an anonymous tip from someone who had witnessed the abuse, Porter said Tuesday.

One of the suspects, Frankie Brewster, was sitting on the front porch and told deputies she was alone, but moments later the woman limped toward the door, her arms outstretched, saying “Help me,” the sheriff’s department said in a news release. Carmen Williams said doctors told her daughter she may be well enough to leave the hospital within a few days, although a nurse said the young woman’s condition was listed as “under evaluation.” “I just want my daughter to be well and recover,” Carmen Williams said. “I know the Lord can do anything.”

Besides being sexually assaulted, the woman was stabbed four times in the left leg and beaten, Porter said. Her eyes were black and blue. The wounds were inflicted at least a week ago, deputies said.
The woman was forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from a toilet, according to the criminal complaint filed in magistrate court. She also had been choked with a cord, it alleges.

One of those arrested, Karen Burton, is accused of cutting the woman’s ankle with a knife. She used the N-word in telling the woman she was victimized because she is black, according to the criminal complaint.
Six suspects charged The six suspects were arrested Saturday and Sunday. Deputies were still trying to determine whether the woman knew her assailants, Porter said. Brewster, the 49-year-old who owns the home where the alleged attacks occurred, is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and giving false information during a felony investigation. Her son, Bobby R. Brewster, 24, also of Big Creek, is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and assault during the commission of a felony. Burton, 46, of Chapmanville, is charged with malicious wounding, battery and assault during the commission of a felony. Her daughter Alisha Burton, 23, of Chapmanville, and George A. Messer, 27, of Chapmanville, are charged with assault during the commission of a felony and battery. Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, is charged with sexual assault and malicious wounding.
All six remained in custody Tuesday in lieu of $100,000 bail each, and all have asked for court-appointed attorneys.

NOTICE THAT THE FUCKERS ONLY HAVE $100,000 BONDS!!!

What do these events share in common...
NOBODY FUCKIN' KNEW ABOUT THEM! Mychal Bell has been sitting in jail for over 7 months now. Major news networks are just beginning to air/cover (in a half-ass manner) the story. I posted these stories especially for my people in California...unfortunately y'all gets NO news.
In case anybody was wondering why we needed the news show, BET Tonight with Ed Gordon, this is why! Apparently showing the latest pictures of Britney showing her firecrotch while getting out of the car is more important. Maybe the "Is Britney Fat" debate deserves more coverage. What's your opinion?

Malcolm Is Gay!

Shemar Moore's responds after photos were taken of him at a nude beach:

Former soap star Shemar Moore is used to scandalous storylines, but not in his real life. So when a tabloid ran naked pictures of the Criminal Minds actor frolicking on what they claimed to be a “gay beach,” Shemar decided to set the record straight. He tells In Touch, “People find it interesting to try to make me gay; I’m not gay. I went on vacation with two girlfriends of mine who, interestingly enough got cut out of the pictures. We found a nude beach, as far as I know, was a unisex beach…. We took off our clothes and jumped in the water. I’ve been trying to skinny dip since I was a teenager. I’m just grateful that the water was warm!”
This negro is gay! I've been saying this for the last couple of years. Wait and see the truth is slowly drizzling out. Oh yeah Shemar, I'm sure your "female friends were cut out of the picture."

The Wedding Is Off!


The National Enquirer has uncovered the following:

Usher’s new bride, Tameka Foster, has a shocking criminal past that she has kept secret from the R&B singer, The Enquirer learned.
Tameka is an ex-con whose first lover was gunned down in a drug-related execution-style shooting.
“Poor Usher has no idea who he’s marrying,” Temeka’s half sister Valencia Foster told The Enquirer. “He’s a wonderful guy- but Tameka is giving him a big-time snow job.”
The scene for deception was set at a “getting to know the in-laws” dinner in Tameka’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., on July 7 as the couple finalized plans for a July 28 wedding.
Valencia, 49, explained that Usher led a prayer before dinner, then turned to her and said: “’You know all the family secrets- tell me about them.’ Before I could say a word, Tameka kicked me so hard under the table she almost put a hole in my leg,” Valencia said.
“Then she pulled me aside and whispered: ‘Don’t tell him anything.’”
Tameka, fleeing from a troubled home life, moved in with Valencia when she was 11. “She arrived with $14 in food stamps
in her purse,” recalled Valencia. “She turned out to be a nightmare.”
By 14, she had become involved with a married drug dealer five years older than her, Valencia says.
“I banned him from the house – but four years later she was
pregnant with his baby when his car was ambushed and he was riddled with bullets. Tameka missed being with him in the car by minutes.”
Court Records show that Tameka has been arrested twice. In 1991, she served 20 days in the Los Angeles County Jail for petty theft and was placed on probation for two years. Records indicate she had previously served jail time. An earlier arrest in Alameda County, Calif., involved “some kind of welfare fraud, and she was sentenced to perform community service,” said Valencia.
Tameka, Usher’s former wardrobe stylist, has three children and is expecting the singer’s baby in the fall. Usher, 28, recently shocked fans by reportedly firing his manager mother and replacing her with Tameka.
The 36-year-old bride asked her father, John Foster, to give her away at the
wedding in the Hampton’s, the tony New York enclave. But Tameka threatened to ban her mom from the ceremony- because she had lost her false teeth! “Tameka told her: ‘You’re not coming to my wedding without teeth,’” Valencia said. “I asked her why she didn’t buy her mother a new set, and she told me: ‘Let her get her own (bleeping) teeth- she didn’t take care of me when I was young.’”
Valencia says Tameka’s mom bought the new teeth herself- and she believes one day Usher will
discover the truth about his new bride.
“Usher is so much in love he’s under her spell,” she said. “But he’s going to find out she’s a
wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Can you say child support? I knew that there was something wrong with this couple from the start. While Tameka looks very masculine and brings lots of baggage to the table, I had no idea she's an ex-con!

Eddie and Tracey are engaged!


According to ET:

ET has learned that EDDIE MURPHY and his girlfriend of 10 months, TRACEY EDMONDS, are engaged! According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘Shrek the Third’ star proposed on July 25 with a “massive,” roughly 8-carat CARTIER yellow diamond engagement ring.
A friend of the couple says, “They’re very adorable together, very happy,” adding that they plan to tie the knot before the end of the year with a private
wedding: “something low-key and romantic.”

What is the world coming to? Didn't Eddie pick up a tranny? What happened to boyfriend Johnny Gill? Will he be staying in the couples guesthouse? No matter how hard I try I can't forget about this photo. To be continued...

Robin Thicke who is nominated for 2 BET Awards (Viewers choice & Best Male Artist) discusses strains in his marriage to actress Paula Patton in a recent interview featured in Giant Magazine:

“She was having sex scenes with the guy who won Album of the Year (Andre 3000), and I pretty much had no record deal. She didn’t come home during the three months of filming (Idlewild) because she was so focused. I started believing she didn’t need me anymore, and when she came home, I started projecting that onto her and pushing her away. That’s what ‘Complicated’ (a song from his album) is about – me saying, ‘I wish I could stop thinking I’m not good enough because, otherwise, I won’t be able to get this girl back.”

Aww poor baby. I'm not so sure Robin should be worrying about Paula and other guys. Maybe he should worry about Paula gettin' with women.

Get the full interview in the June/July issue of Giant magazine, due on newsstands June 5.

Very Funny Video!

This is Trapped in the Drive-thru. Weird Al's version of R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet.



I wonder if R. Kelly has heard this version.

Say It Ain't So!



So I'm listening to the radio on last Friday afternoon when I hear some talk of a "well known Atl preacher" getting caught in a bunch of filth. Turns out a young lady was in an accident involving this well known preacher/rapper. When the young lady approached the vehicle the man didn't want to get out of the car and proceeded to cover his face with a towel. The young lady immediately recognized the man, and had remembered seeking pre-marital counseling at his Atlanta church. What happens next is crazy I'll let you listen for yourself...

TI Gets Rowdy...

So I'm watching this video and I noticed someone throws a bottle of water at TI, but what I can't understand is why the pants must sag so low. I mean is it just me or does it look like those pants are going to fall down completely? TI is it that serious hun?

He's so little he reminds me of tweety bird. I wonder if he runs with the "Gay Rappers Club." He is trying to be x-tra hard in the video. Just a thought.

Go Girl!

It's been confirmed that "Dreamgirls" star, Anika Noni Rose will play the part of the princess in Disney's The Frog Princess. The star beat out co-star Jennifer Hudson and other stars including Tyra Stanks, and Alicia Keys for the role. I really thought that Alicia Keys would get the part, and I heard that she wanted it really bad. Oh well. I'm glad for the Dreamigirls star. I don't think she got any attention for the movie, thanks to Beyonce and her super-ego, and JHuds sudden fame.

Prediction: Anika Noni Rose is 'bout to blow up!

Brat: I don’t know where your lips been nicca. I know where hers have been!



So Da Brat was recently at Club Miami in Atlanta. Everyone noticed a certain someone sticking close to her side the whole night. In the video Da Brat enlightens us to what's really goin' on.

Hmm...Da Brat likes pretty girls I see. I always thought she and Mariah had something goin' on after that video they did together. Missy is a known lesbian as well. I wouldn't be surprised if a three-some jumped off after his video shoot. Mariah can sing her ass off, but we all know how she gets down.

Not So Blind Item



Via perezhilton:
Friends of what A-list diva are concerned about her recently converting to Scientology?
Even though she's publicly denied this, sources close to the superstar confirm that she converted.
"She has slowly replaced (uncomfortably pushed out) most staff who was not into the religion," says a well-placed source. "Her long time house keeper was so uncomfortable with the new 'workers' in the house, a.k.a. Scientology folk, that she was forced to leave."
The diva has been shunning old friends as well and only surrounding herself with other Scientologists. Hmmm...Could these news pals be Tom and oh-so-unhappy Katy Cruise?

We're talking about hoes that's in the 'hood that ain't doing shit, that's trying to get a nigga for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them muthafuckas say we are in the same league as him. Kick him off the air forever."

Another Win For Serena Despite Racist Heckler



During her third round match at the Sony Ericsson Open, Serena was forced to endure racist comments that were shouted at her from the stands. According to eurweb the asshole shouted:
"Hit the net net like any negro would." Whenever Serena missed a shot or a serve the ass would yell, "That's the way to do it." Eventually the heckler was removed. Serena went on to win the match. Go Serena!

Macy Gray



So I was cruising in my car enjoying the spring breeze when I heard the new single, "Finally Made Me Happy," by Macy Gray. Macy brings that old-school-grown-&-sexy feel to this track. I am definitely feeling this new album. I'm still tripping off the fact that "she really sounds like that." When she came out 4 years ago I thought the voice was an act.
Dear Macy,
I love your music. The new album is hot. If it's not too much to ask, could you please keep your clothes on and leave the stripping on stage to females/she males (Cassie, Paula DeAnda, Rhianna) who have no talent?
Thanks,
