T.I. Puts TMZ on BLAST Over Lil Wayne Report

T.I. is speaking out about his friend Lil Wayne and BLASTING celebrity news site TMZ for misreporting the severity of his seizures – allegedly. The rapper told his followers on Twitter that he had personally called to check on him, and also gave the following interview about the Weezy situation: T.I. Blasts Lil Wayne Report TMZ reported last night that Lil Wayne was in critical condition after a sizzurp binge, was placed into an induced coma and being read “his last rites.” They have since removed the last rites bit from their article, but have not retracted or clarified any other details surrounding the allegedly dire situation. Family members and close affiliates of Lil Wayne immediately took to Twitter to slam TMZ; Weezy himself also posted a Tweet saying he’s okay. This was just hours after he was allegedly breathing through tubes in the ICU. Bizarre developments all around, since TMZ has broken countless exclusives, is generally very accurate and certainly not in the business of being wrong. What really happened yesterday? We may never know for sure, but it’ll be interesting to see if any more info is released that sheds light on the reports. Below are some of T.I.’s tweets on the subject, posted after he stepped off stage at SXSW. They’re NSFW. And borderline impossible to understand. But you get the gist most likely …

Casey Anthony Offered $10K … to Shut Up Permanently!

Nobody wants to pay for a Casey Anthony interview, but one man will pay her to never, ever do one. James Schober is offering $10K to buy her silence. For the rest of her life. According to new court documents filed in Casey Anthony’s bankruptcy case, she is almost $800K in the hole and has less than $1K to her name. This is because no matter how much our country loves gossip and notorious figures, no one is willing to go there with Casey. Except James Schober. He’s offering a relatively modest ten grand for the exclusive rights to Casey’s life story, but not to make it into a book or a movie or anything like that. The man claims he wants to own the rights solely so he can “prevent Ms. Anthony or others from publishing or profiting from her story in the future.” He’s just a random guy with no ties to Anthony or her family. The trustee handling her bankruptcy case has been tasked with identifying anything that can be used to pay off the money Casey Anthony owes. That’s how this was revealed, and while there’s no way a judge will agree to the offer, it’s still pretty great. If only they could force her to accept. Time will tell if she ever gets a better offer …

Charlie Sheen Urges Fans to Deface Kid’s Former School; Officials Want Actor Prosecuted

Charlie Sheen urged his fans to deface his daughter’s former school earlier this week, and officials at the school want to see him prosecuted as a result. Sheen encouraged fans to exact revenge on the school after it did nothing to address a bullying situation involving his 9-year-old daughter Sam. Specifically, the 47-year-old actor suggested people start egging the place, toilet papering it and/or hucking dog feces at the building. Good times. Charlie removed Sam, his daughter with Denise Richards, from the Viewpoint School last May; it’s unclear why he waited until now to go off about it. The parents and administrators, in any case, and needless to say, are pissed at Charlie’s antics, fearing fans may actually act on the call to fecal arms. Several parents at the Viewpoint School say a meeting was held Thursday night to address Sheen’s Twitter rant; some want him to be prosecuted. As far as they’re concerned, Sheen has demonstrated that he is not only a credible threat to act upon his threats but a violent person as well. Parents say he’s threatened to shoot people, beat up Brooke Mueller , held a knife to her throat, shot Kelly Preston, and trapped a hooker in his hotel room . You know, among many other things. Sheen was never prosecuted for most of that, but needless to say, his track record is less than … sterling. Officials are lobbying to have him investigated for criminal threats as well as inciting violence and have contacted authorities about his nefarious plot. Probably overreacting a little. He had to be kidding … okay, maybe not.

GLAAD Slams Duggar Family for Associating with "Dangerous Hate Group"

Josh Duggar is making headlines. But, for once, it’s not for because he’s expecting another child . The reality star and committed pro-creator is considering an executive position with the Family Research Council, a move that is not sitting well with GLADD President Herndon Graddick. “Family Research Council is without a doubt one of our country’s most dangerous hate groups, led by the most anti-gay man in America, Tony Perkins,” Graddick told E! News Friday. The FRC lists its agenda as the advancement of “faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview.” It supports marriage as only between “one man and one woman.” “Not only has Perkins compared gay people to terrorists, he also supports the ludicrous idea that gay youth should be subjected to harmful therapies that aim to make them straight,” Graddick said. “Unlike the Duggars, Perkins isn’t about family values, he’s about anti-gay hate.” Josh is the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. He took part in ProLifeCon, the organization’s pro-life social-media forum, in January. This may be one feud that not even the Duggars Tater Tot Casserole recipe can mend.

Kate Middleton-Cressida Bonas Feud: Real or Fake?

The pregnant Kate Middleton is not a big fan of Prince Harry’s new girlfriend Cressida Bonas, according to gossip sites dying to stir up a feud. But is there any truth to this at all or is it royally bogus? Well … Allegedly (and take this with a boulder of salt), back when Kate Middleton was just a college girl and dating William, she knew Cressida’s older sister. Isabella Calthrope was reportedly pursuing Prince William at that time, so Kate was not a fan and is holding a grudge against her family to this day. There’s no love lost on Cressida Bonas ‘ side either. Why? Well … Supposedly, her animosity also stems from a sibling’s behavior. William and Kate’s siblings, Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry, have never been an item or even hooked up, but they do have “a very flirty relationship.” Cressida can’t stand this and has even complained to Harry . Kate heard about this and wants Cress to step off Pip. “[Kate] was really upset when she heard Cress was trying to control who he talks to,” a source told Now magazine. “She told Wills, who had a word with Harry.” Apparently Kate Middleton is very protective of her little brother-in-law Prince Harry and doesn’t want to see him used by a “royal chaser” like Bonas. This is probably all just idle gossip … but even so, hilarious. We can at least hold out hope of a royal cat fight, right?

North Dakota Abortion Ban: Strictest in the Nation

North Dakota lawmakers sent their state’s Republican governor a pair of anti-abortion bills yesterday, both of which would impose the strictest ban on this practice of any state in the country. One proposal would make the procedure illegal as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, while the other would prohibiting women from having an abortion because a fetus has a genetic defect, such as Down Syndrome. While pro-choice advocates say they will protest these measures if they pass, supporters of the bills make it clear that their goal is to challenge the 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade. Rep. Bette Grande introduced the bills and said the state’s budget never crossed the mind of her or anyone on her side. “I don’t look at it from the financial side of things,” Grande told The Associated Press on Friday. “I look at it from the life side of things.” The measures now go into Governor Jack Dalrymple’s hands, with The American Civil Liberties Union referring to them as “extreme” and noting that many women don’t realize they’re even pregnant until after six weeks. “In America, no woman, no matter where she lives, should be denied the ability to make this deeply personal decision,” ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said in a statement.
