Releases Tenth Studio Album ‘Dime Trap’ On Epic Records/Grand Hustle Thursday, October 4th, T.I. hosted a special listening event to celebrate the release of his tenth studio album ‘Dime Trap’ dropping Friday, October 5th, 2018. The event was held at Tip’s new Trap Museum on Atlanta’s West Side. Guests were greeted by musicians playing string instruments outside the Museum. Prince Williams/ATLPics.net The museum features highly impressive exhibits, including a “candy store” which offers Trap Museum and Grand Hustle merchandise, Big Mama’s living room, where guests can see childhood photos of some of their favorite trap artists hanging on the walls, a gun vault, similar to the one that was raided after T.I.’s weapons arrest, a prison cell and paintings and other art installations dedicated to hip-hop greats, including some of our most dearly departed artists like Tupac and Big Doe. Prince Williams/ATLPics.net In addition to the release of his new album, Clifford Harris has plenty of other things to celebrate… For example, VH1 announced on Thursday that its new series “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” will premiere on Monday, October 22nd at 9PM ET/PT.

Much has changed since they left the airwaves more than a year ago with their wildly successful “T.I. & Tiny’s Family Hustle.” Not only is hip hop’s favorite family back and on their grind, but they are bringing Atlanta’s biggest stars with them including Monica Brown, Antonia “Toya” Wright with her daughter Reginae Carter, and Letoya Luckett. With exciting lives and high stakes careers, this group of loyal friends will support each other as they navigate the complex terrain of juggling family while building their empires.

Alex Trebek Raps on Jeopardy, Is Totally Lit

Over the years on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek has frequently impressed viewers with his rapping skills. Remember when he spit out lyrics to Drake's “Jumpman ?” Or when he went all Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on us? Both are great clips, to be sure, but neither compares to the fun Trebek had this week throughout an entire category on the College Tournament of Champions. The category was titled “Let’s Rap, Kids!” It required Trebek to read lyrics from such smash hits as Drake’s “Started from the Bottom,” Lil Wayne's “6 Foot 7 Foot,” Kanye West’s “Famous” and Desiigner’s “Panda.” 'Cause the F is for Finisher, people! Lamented Trebek when the category was over: “I was just getting into this rap thing. I’m not too good at it, but I was getting into it.” Eh, we don't know. For a 76-year old white guy from Canada? Trebek isn't bad! Some might even say he was “lit” during the episode. Would YOU say this? Watch the beloved game show host rap away and decide for yourself:

Taylor Swift Twerks HARD in Hilarious Thanksgiving Video

Say what you will about Taylor Swift — call her out on her shady songwriting habits, that weird overlap in her relationships with Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, the Kimye debacle, whatever — but you know the girl is America's Sweetheart. She has been since she came onto the scene with that curly hair and that open heart all those years ago, and she will be for the rest of all time. She could probably murder someone, like actual murder, and people would still be like “Awww, forgivesies!” Part of the reason for this is that she holds so many American traditions near and dear to her heart. Taylor goes hard for America's biggest tradition, the Fourth of July, what with those big, lovely parties she throws every year. But, as we're learning today, that's not the only national holiday Taylor loves. Yep, she's also apparently all about some Thanksgiving. She held a party at her Rhode Island home, the same home where she hosts her Fourth of July parties, and she invited key squad members like models Martha Hunt and Lily Donaldson. And, at the party, she also threw in some other classic national pastimes, such as lame social media challenges and twerking. Yes, we said twerking. Check out Taylor's moves in the extremely delightful video she shared below:

Selena Gomez: Grab Your Tissues, I’m Back on Instagram!

Selena Gomez is fresh out of rehab, and is positively dripping with peace, happiness, and inspiration. Positively. Dripping. She spent nearly two months at a rehab center in Tennessee to get help with the depression and anxiety that had popped up as side effects from her lupus . That was an inspirational move in itself — not too many celebrities as popular as Selena would take time off during the prime of their careers to better themselves, as we know all too well. But then she made her first post-rehab appearance at last week’s American Music Awards, and, well, she pretty much just owned our hearts. In her incredibly moving acceptance speech for her award for Best Female Artist in the pop/rock category, she fought tears to say “I think it’s safe to say that all of you know my life whether I like it or not.” “I had to stop,” she explained, “because I had everything, and I was absolutely broken inside. I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.” Selena Gomez Wins American Music Awards, Admits She’s Been “Broken Inside” “I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what’s in here,” she said, putting her hand over her heart. “I’m not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore,” she went on. “All I can say from the bottom of my heart is that I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be able to share what I love every single day with people that I love.” “And I have to say thank you so much to my fans, because you guys are so damn loyal and I don’t know what I did to deserve you.” “If you are broken,” she finished, “you do not have to stay broken.” Amazing, right? Selena continued the trend of being wise and beautiful and wonderful in her very first social media post in over three months. She shared this adorable photo yesterday on Thanksgiving: And, along with it, she wrote “I have a lot to be thankful for this year.” “My year has been the hardest yet most rewarding one yet. I’ve finally fought the fight of not ‘being enough.'” “I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of YOU,” she wrote. “By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless.” And there you have it: undeniable proof that Selena Gomez is a goddess among us . Here’s hoping that she got all the help she needed in rehab, and that she’s able to come back to us strong and healthy and whole. What a blessing of a person.

Bristol Palin: Read Her Heartbreaking Texts to Ex Dakota Meyer

They called off their wedding in 2015, roughly six months before their daughter, Sailor was born in December. Now, Dakota Meyer is fighting for a custody agreement with Bristol Palin that will allow him to see his daughter more frequently. Daily Mail obtained text messages (published for court records) between Palin and Meyer , who served in the Marines, in which the Alaska native wanted her ex to see Sailor more regularly. “I want you to be a part of her life, from the bottom of my heart I do,” Palin wrote. “There’s nothing on my end holding you back Dakota.  I want you (and your family) to be in her life as much as possible. It’s not about us, and I don’t care if you hate me, put it aside and put her first.” “I don’t hate you Bristol,” Meyer responded.  “I have no reason too [sic] but my hands are tied when I legally have no right to a child that is mine.” Meyer, who had to undergo a paternity test when he filed for joint custody and child support, is trying to move things along so that he can see his daughter. His visitations, however, are limited since Palin is breastfeeding the infant, and the court rules in the mother’s favor since it’s in Sailor’s best interest. “Yea i don’t want to miss anything either and being busy will never be what keeps me from seeing Sailor,” Meyer wrote to her in another exchange.   “Hopefully everything gets worked out soon and I can be in her life.” Meyer will see his daughter for the first time on March 19th, according to court records.

Lil Wayne Slams Birdman on New Track: I Kept This Sh-t Together!

For weeks now, we’ve been hearing rumors of a Lil Wayne-Birdman feud, and neither party has done anything to confirm or deny the reports. Until today, that is.  The A-list emcee (who may or may not be dating Christina Milian ) fired shots at his former mentor today in the form of mixtape verse that both confirms the beef and pretty much settles it. Wayne states his case loud and clear in a track titled “Coco”…well, as clear as Wayne is capable of being, anyway. Have a listen: Lil Wayne: Coco If you can decipher the seizure-inducing flow, you’ll hear Weezy claim that he’s the one responsible for Birdman’s Cash Money empire: “Who kept this sh-t together? N–ga me, that’s who!” Wayne spits. “Cash Money is an army, I’m a one-man army!” Between the unexpected diss directed at the man who helped give him his start and his collaboration with Justin Bieber , we think it’s safe to say Wayne’s career has taken some unexpected turns lately.  While he may be exaggerating when he claims that he’s the only one keeping the YMCMB label operational, there’s no denying that Wayne is the company’s biggest asset. If Weezy decides to release his upcoming album Tha Carter V elsewhere, it could be mean the end of the one of the original Southern hip hop franchises. Birdman will be fine, though. We hear the movie based on his life got nominated for a ton of Oscars . We kid! 13 Lil Rappers 1. Lil Wayne Lil Wayne, a.k.a. Tunechi a.k.a. Weezy a.k.a. Dwayne Michael Carter III, is the biggest hit-maker of all the LIL rappers.
