T.I SPEAKS AND 50 CENTS RESPONDS!
It's been a while since T.I. gave an in-depth interview, and in the latest issue of VIBE magazine (out on Dec. 6), he unloads a mouthful of controversial opinions. Whether it's doubting the death of Bin Laden, defending homophobes or lashing out at people who attack his wife, you're likely going to give him the side-eye. One way or the other.
Here are the highlights:

On Conspiracy Theories and Bin Laden's Death
The conversation shifts from Muammar Gaddafi’s death—which occurred five days prior—to Osama Bin Laden’s assassination to both Eastern giant’s once empowered relationship with the U.S. government. “It’s like everybody that the U.S. was besties with, years later they’re the worst person in the world,” says Tip. "My question is what character traits do they possess now that they didn’t possess when y’all were besties? What made it go astray, and who’s to say they were on the dishonest end of that?”
The politic’n doesn’t stop there. Before an article can be selected from the “Osama Bin Laden killed” search, T.I. twists his lips in sarcastic fashion and shoots, “If that really happened.”

VIBE: So you’re skeptical about the legitimacy of Osama’s death?
T.I.: Man, I’m a conspiracy theorist by nature. You can’t experience the federal penal system and not be somewhat skeptical.

On Equal Rights And Homophobia
Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.’
While T.I. makes clear that he supports anyone’s sexual preference, he then connects, in his opinion, a current oversensitivity among gay people with a consequential and ironic offense of the First Amendment. “They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ ... That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’

On people who say Tiny should have taken the drug charge for him -
“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.
T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’. “

So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?
That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household..
Well 50 cent has responded to the T.I interview in VIBE; Y'all didn't think 50 was about to let T.I.'s comments in the new issue of VIBE slide did you? Seeing that Mr. Jackson was the main person saying Tiny should have caught the entire case for her husband during their arrest in L.A. last year, Curtis responded to T.I.'s mouthy comments about it.
In September 2010, 50 Cent tweeted that "Tiny should have took the charge" for her husband since T.I. was just fresh out of jail at the time. He said last year:

So T.I. had some words about that in the new upcoming issue of VIBE, saying

“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me. We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

And tonight, 50 responded to T.I. tweeting:
SO SQUASHED?


Kris Humphries: No Plans To Sue Kim Kardashian
Reports claim that he plans to sue Kim Kardashian for $10 million broke last week, but Kris Humphries is planning nothing of the sort.
The bogus allegation said the basketball player was going after his reality TV star wife because of how he expects to be portrayed on “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” and also because he has a larger role on it than initially planned.
But a TMZ report tells that - while Kris is worried the show will make him look bad - he realizes he has no control over what E! airs.
In turn, there is no lawsuit and the couple is reportedly being “cordial” with each other during the divorce process.

So Gloria Matt caught ya cheating HUH?
Matt Barnes breaks his silence via a tweet!
This twitter and facebook is really helping everyone get the skinny straight from the source.
How long did Gloria think MATT would keep things on the hush?
To top it all off she was cheating with one of his former friends/teammates. Talk about with friends like Matt’s you don’t need enemies.
Ok now I am confused because wasn’t it Gloria whom during the reunion show told John Salley that Matt was the only man she ever been with since she was 20? WOW!!!! Talk about the Housewife/NOT/House-Girlfriend w/2 babies calling the Kettle Black. Didn’t she accuse Matt of cheating on her with Eva Longoria? SMDH!

According to the LA Times:
Here’s the statement he released Wednesday through his publicist, Courtney Merfeld: “In May, Gloria and I decided to separate and in the best interest of her career, I foolishly agreed to portray that we were still together for the upcoming season of her show on VH1.“As recently as August we decided to revisit a joint statement of our separation, but Gloria asked to delay making our separation public for the interest of her show. It is ironic now how Gloria is trying to manipulate the professional relationship between Eva Longoria and myself as the sole reason for our separation, when she knows we split up in May.”

Jennifer Hudson Reveals: She Was Almost A Victim In The Shootings That Claimed The Lives Of Her Mom, Brother And Nephew
jhud-david-01
Jennifer Hudson revealed how she narrowly escaped being one of the victims in the killings which took the lives of her mom, brother and nephew. She reveals that on that fateful day in October 2008, she was supposed to be with her family who died at the hands of her former brother-in-law but instead went to see fiancé, David Otunga fight in a World Wrestling Entertainment match. “He wanted me to come out to Florida with him instead of going to Chicago. I flew out to see him; that’s why I’m still here,” she revealed to Ebony in its December issue. “That’s one of the things that saved my life. Because I could have been home with my mom then.
I’ve never said that before, and I can’t believe I just said that now,” she adds. “But I didn’t know.”

T.O. Tweets to Pay His Child Support
Former professional football player Terrell Owens' child support issues don't seem to be letting up. At a recent hearing in family court T.O. revealed that a big part of his income comes from Tweeting...
From TMZ
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mr. O says he makes between $2,800 - $6,400 per tweet. In one instance, he pulled in $2,800 to tweet for Cutters -- a football glove company. He raked in $4,800 for tweeting on behalf of Old Navy. And he got $6,400 for tweeting about Fantapper -- a sports social networking site.

T.O. also discloses he's earned residual money for an episode of "Punk'd" and for his appearances on "Any Given Sunday" and "Necessary Roughness."
And get this ... T.O. scored $10 grand for promoting Yahoo Fantasy Football and $20 grand for promoting a Super Bowl party.
So why is T.O. trying to get out from under paying his baby mama's attorney's fees? It's because he spends like a mutha. His average monthly expenses are $82,178.30, plus $44,602 in child support.
T.O. says he has no new sources of income and is basically broke.

Holding up a New York Daily News paper, which she covers with the caption ‘Oh Baby’, she says:
Hello! its September 23rd. Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby! This was on the cover of The Daily News. Right now I’m actually shooting the video for Countdown and I’m six months pregnant [and] pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits but thank God that you can’t really tell from the front but when you turn to the side.. Oh baby!
In another clip, she explains the video ‘Countdown’
‘Countdown’ which was shot back in September ‘is not about falling in love’ nor is it about longing for love, its about having it. Since the album came out my life has changed so much. My husband and I are expecting

So is Beyonce trying to trick us or is she just bad at math...?

Shar Jackson’s Assistant Commits Suicide Near Her Home
Remember Shar Jackson of ‘Moesha’ fame and ex-wife of Kevin Federline?
Unfortunately, she suffered a major tragedy a few days before the holiday after she, along with her son and cousin, found her former assistant hanging from a tree near her home.
According to Perez Hilton, Shar’s former assistant Justice was distraught when she visited her at her home in Corona on Monday. She eventually began drinking and getting emotional before storming out of Shar’s home. When he didn’t call or return after a few hours, Shar walked around her neighborhood looking for him, only to find him hanging from a tree in her gated community.
There’s no word on what he hung himself with. Shar along with her eldest son Donnie and her cousin Brooklyn cut him down and “tried to resuscitate him,” but he was already gone. Paramedics arrived a short time later and pronounced him dead. Shar has been under extreme distress following the whole ordeal, allegedly spending most of her time with her mother.
Such a sad situation!

Loon to be Extradited From Belgium

Former Bad Boy rapper Chauncey "Loon" Hawkins aka Amir Mudadith was taken into custody in Brussels and is awaiting extradition to the United States.

Demi Moore breaks her Twitter silence with Thanksgiving message... but is directed at Ashton Kutcher?
Demi Moore been understandably silent on Twitter since announcing her separation from husband Ashton Kutcher last week.
But after a week-long ban from the micro-blogging site, the mother-of-three, 49, returned with a message about the American holiday Thanksgiving.
She tweeted: 'Why do we have only 1 day for giving thanks? Is that why so many people feel unappreciated? Make this 1 of 365 days of Thanksgiving!'
No doubt, many followers will be trying to read between the lines and wondering she was referring to Kutcher's past treatment of her.
And aside from returning to Twitter, she still continues to tweet under the handle @mrskutcher.
Back online: Moore tweeted a Thanksgiving message after a week-long silence from Twitter
He wrote on Thursday: 'I’m thankful for family, friends, you, & time to reach my potential. What are you thankful for?'
Although it wasn't clear if Moore was spending time with her younger daughters Tallulah and Scout, her eldest Rumer was away for Thanksgiving in Paris.
Thanksgiving message: Ashton Kutcher posted this note on Wednesday night
Moore has been keeping a low-profile since she admitted she was filing for divorce from toyboy husband Kutcher after six years of marriage.
The way they were: The couple in Sao Paulo, Brazil in January this year
On November 17, she released a statement: 'It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton," says Moore in a statement.
'As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.
'This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation.'
The couple's split came two months after Kutcher was alleged to have cheated on the actress with party girl Sara Leal.
Speaking this week, Leal insisted the fling with Kutcher in a San Diego hotel wasn't to blame for the breakdown in their marriage.
'Bump in the road': Sara Leal claims she slept with Kutcher on the couple's 6th wedding anniversary
She told TMZ.com: 'I might have been a bump in the road - but for someone to file for divorce, obviously it was a long time coming.
'They obviously had issues way before I came into the picture.'
While Moore has been keeping a low-profile, her estranged husband has been keeping busy on the set of Two And A Half Men.
She is weathering her emotional storm alone, as well, given that daughters Tallulah, Scout and Rumer are with their father, Bruce Willis, in Paris.

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“SAND BAGGIN”
And the award for longest cleavage goes to….Seriously though, boobs are supposed to stick out. So if you can pull your shirt down to your knees and still not flash anyone, how ’bout we cover up those deflated balloons and just go back to yearning for the good ol’ days when they had some perk.
