T.I. Moved From Halfway House To Undisclosed Location

Officials cite ‘transportation issue’ following his ride to halfway house in a luxury tour bus on Wednesday. By Gil Kaufman T.I. Photo: Ethan Miller/ Getty Images T.I. barely had enough time to unpack his things at a halfway house in Atlanta before Federal Bureau of Prisons officials moved him to another location on Thursday. The rapper’s lawyer confirmed for The Associated Press that the MC has been moved from the halfway house he entered on Wednesday to another, undisclosed location because of a “transportation issue” involving T.I.’s use of a luxury tour bus to the facility. On Wednesday, T.I. was released from a federal prison in Arkansas to the community living facility in Georgia, where he was slated to serve out the rest of his 11-month sentence for probation violation. He was followed by VH1 cameras on his journey as part of a reality show slated to air in December that will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at his life with wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris. Lawyer Steve Sadow did not specify why T.I. (born Clifford Harris) was moved, but said the action was not drug-related and that he was working to resolve the situation. “There appears to be confusion surrounding the method of transportation,” Sadow said. T.I. left the Forrest City low-security prison in Arkansas in the tinted-window bus, which was followed by four other vehicles. “The storm is over & da sun back out. IT’S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!!” the rapper tweeted shortly after his release. “Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!” CNN reported that T.I. was moved to the U.S. penitentiary in Atlanta on Friday. Sadow said Tip had offered to provide his own transportation between Arkansas and Georgia, but officials apparently objected to the use of the bus (and an attendant entourage of private SUVs) and were reviewing if it may have violated his furlough agreement.

T.I. To Be Released Wednesday, Sources Say

Tip will head to a halfway house one month before his 11-month parole-violation sentence is up. By Alvin Blanco T.I. (file) Photo: Moses Robinson/ WireImage T.I. is going to be a free man in just a couple of days. Sources have confirmed that the Atlanta rapper, currently serving an 11-month sentence in Forrest City Correctional Facility in Georgia for a parole violation after an L.A. drug arrest, will be released to a halfway house on August 31. Tip will be walking out of jail about a month early, with his original release date listed as September 29 in public records. The Grand Hustle honcho, born Clifford Harris, Jr., should be ready to get back to the business of making music soon after his release. T.I.’s Smash company partner, producer La Mar “Mars” Edwards, is eager to reunite with Tip in the studio. “He let me know, ‘I got your back and stay close to me, you’re my brother,’ ” said Mars, who just produced Game’s The R.E.D. Album. “Ever since then, he’s really treated me like a little brother. He’ll call me to talk about life. It’s more to it than me being his production partner and having Smash Factory.” And T.I.’s friend and collaborator DJ Drama also recently revealed that T.I. is working on a book . “8/31 — #kingback. @Tip,” Drama tweeted on Monday (August 29). While serving his sentence, the King has been keeping fans updated via his TrapMuzik.com website. In his latest entry, the “Live Your Life” rapper revealed that it would be his final blog post since he expected to be released in September. In that message, T.I. revealed that he planned to have his new music hearken back to material from his earlier days. “Next time you hear from me, I’ll be back out there with you,” he wrote. “Doing for those who can’t do for themselves and speaking for those whose voices are never heard. When I touch down, I’m going all the way back to square one, like I’m fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I’M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK sh–. … But until then RESPECT to all who deserve it.” The well-wishes he received from family, friends and fans inspired T.I. to sponsor a Memorial Day bus trip that brought the families of 14 inmates up for a visit who otherwise would not be able to. Although authorities in Los Angeles eventually dropped the drug charges against T.I., he was still found guilt of violating the parole terms stemming from his 2007 felony weapons charge.

Patrick Schwarzenegger: The New Face (and Abs) of Hudson Jeans!

Patrick Schwarzenegger, 17, is the new face of Hudson Jeans. It’s not his face that will be distracting motorists, however. The son of estranged couple Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver shows some serious skin for the denim brand’s Fall 2011 campaign on this billboard: Patrick Schwarzenegger overlooks Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood . While the high school senior appeared solo in the shot, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall’s daughter, Georgia May Jagger, also models for the brand. Despite signing with L.A. Models, Patrick’s priority is a traditional education. He and Maria have already been visiting colleges this summer. He tweeted, “Just visited Harvard. Great college but I’m not adding it to the list. Stanford, USC, Penn, Georgetown are my tops for now.” Wherever he goes, the older brother of Christopher and younger brother of Christina and Katherine Schwarzenegger should be quite popular.

He estimated the line at 2,000 yards and said that at its peak, 4,000 people were in line. UGA student Jasen Scrivens, 24, of Winder arrived at 1 a.m. hoping to have some unfinished dental work completed.

4 Re-Imagined Fairytale Movies That We Never Want to See

With this morning’s news that Disney is courting Never Let Me Go director Mark Romanek to helm a Cinderella remake, it has become even more apparent that Hollywood is not going to keep its hands off of our Disney princesses. (Already, we have at least two Snow White reboots underway, one sensual Little Mermaid project in development, and a Hailee Steinfeld Sleeping Beauty redo.) In fear of which princess project will be announced next, Movieline has outlined four worst-case-scenario Disney adaptations that might make, say, the inevitable live-action Pocahontas action reboot seem less horrific in comparison.

Clint Eastwood Says He’ll Keep J. Edgar’s Sexual Orientation ‘Open to Interpretation’

Oh, great. Just when we thought Armie Hammer’s kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming J. Edgar Hoover biopic was going to be explosive, Eastwood himself is confirming that he’s leaving the first FBI director’s sexual orientation “open to interpretation.” I know a certain TV personality who might have damning evidence to the contrary.

Why Renny Harlin Made a Movie About the 2008 Russo-Georgian War

Renny Harlin ( Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, 12 Rounds ) is not the first director — or the second or third or heck, the 20th — you’d expect to direct a serious movie about a recent political conflict that resulted in numerous human rights violations, civilian deaths, and tenuous relations between Russia and neighboring Georgia. But that’s just what the genre veteran did in the Aug. 19 pic 5 Days of War , telling The New York Times he “wanted to shift to films that he said would ‘allow me to look at myself in the mirror’ in the morning.” Congrats, Renny! You’re that much closer to making up for Cutthroat Island . [ NYT ]
