Atlanta rapper T.I. has been cut loose as the spokesperson for General Motors. This time last year, you could see T.I. in several GM commercials, mostly for Chevrolet. But in the wake of his conviction on federal gun charges, the auto company has decided to drop T.I. from its roster of celebrity representatives. T.I., who recently spoke with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, candidly stated that GM isn’t his only loss, when it comes to his money.
“GM had to back up off of me,†he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution when asked about the deal. “There are films that I missed out on. Not speaking of, of course, shows. Tours. Tons of business. I’ve probably lost about $10 to $12 million dollars.â€
In his first sit-down interview since his arrest late last year, T.I. tells AJC’s Sonia Murray that his patience has grown since being on house arrest for the past several months.
“If I can sit at home all day and wait on people to bring me what I need… wait on getting permission to be able to do this and do that, it’s not as serious as I used to make it sometimes. Sometimes it was like, ‘If I don’t get this right now I’m just going to lose it.’ When you’re going 350 miles per hour, it tends to be that way. But when you are stopped – halted, not slowed down, but halted – you figure, ‘Well I could have just slowed down. I didn’t have to be stopped.’ I thought it was bad just to slow down. Now I see in me being stopped, I could have done this, been this, myself, instead of being forced to do it.”
Here is some brand new material from new Jive records signee Lee Carr, the song is called Stilettos and it was produced by Los who has also worked with other R&Bers like J. Holiday and The Dream. Make sure you visit Carr’s MySpace for future updates and to add him as a friend!!
FINE-NAL-LY! I kept hearing this song on the radio all the time and lately going crazzzy, this song is my shit, Boyfriend/Girlfriend by C-Side featuring Keyshia Cole.
released through Columbia Records. The album will include the hot tunes Promise Ring featuring Ciara and I’m Grown, produced by Darkchild, featuring Bow Wow. On some tracks I thought there were a few holes; she sounded a bit shaky to me. With having said that the album was pretty decent to say the most. I love I’m Grown, Lay Back And Chill, and Girl Gone Wild – “shawty, you don’t need no soldier, what you think we going to war?” I see they added some new material! Although I liked the original version that leaked that’s the only part I like that they added. They could’ve kept all those unnecessary noises added to the updated version. Overall Tiffany Evans’ debut album is kind of like a show and tell effort, which is a nice thing, Tiffany shows lots of growth and tells you her story!
According to VH1.com Paris Hilton recently had an interview with a Las Vegas radio show and when asked about Kim Kardashians’ “assets” she responded by saying:
.. “it’s gross! It reminds me of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag”

The Lakers games these past couple of weeks have been on and poppin’ as far as celebrity turn-out! It seems as though every day, or every other day at least, we’re posting about who hit up one of the games. Singer Mario and actor Evan Ross can be seen above with their “Kool Moe Dee” shades on at last night’s game. Why the hell are they wearing shades to a baksetball game? I’m not sure about how they like to view games, but if I had courtside seats, I definitely wouldn’t be hindering my view in any kind of way. But that’s just me.
