Trouble-prone hip-hopster T.I. is being hailed a hero after he helped save a suicidal man from tossing himself off a 22-store building in Downtown Atlanta Wednesday.
Well…saving a life is a pretty good way to keep yourself out of prison. After all, that’s gotta go far with the parole board.
It’ll be “Back to The Pokey and Off With His Head!” — if T.I.’s probation officer has anything to say about it.
T.I. has less than two weeks to get his story straight. On Oct. 15, the self-professed King of the South will go before a federal judge to plead to not have his probation revoked.
On Monday, District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. summoned Tip for a 2 PM hearing on allegations that he violated the terms of his probation when he was pulled over and arrested with wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle for possession of ecstasy in Los Angeles Sept. 1. The same judge sentenced the rapper to one year and one day behind bars for firearms violations in 2009. An earlier summons signed by Pannell lists three possible violations of his bond: possession of the drug ecstasy, testing positive for opiates, and associating with a convicted felon.
T.I. will have to explain why he should remain a free man following his arrest for drug possession in Los Angeles earlier this month.
He has been summoned to appear court in his native Atlanta, Georgia.
“Big Shit’s poppin’” for TIP. Frequently-incarcerated star T.I. — who was arrested with wife Tiny last week on charges of posesssing ecstasy — may now be losing his endorsement deal with AXE body spray.
Forget diamonds — Nothing says “I Love You” like matching mugshots!
On Friday, cops in the City of Angels released mugshots for rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his wife of one month, former Xscape singer Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, following their arrest on drug possessions charges on Los Angeles’ Sunset Blvd. on Wednesday.
The honeymoon is over for rapper/actor T.I. and his wife — ex-R&B girl bander Tameka Cottle. The Atlanta couple were arrested in West Hollywood overnight on drug charges, according to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Pope.
In the words of the Divine Antoine Dodson:
T.I.’s tapping into his acting talents for a role in the new action-flick Takers.
Tip plays a culprit in a group of bank robbers working to pull off the ultimate heist.
Takers — which the “Live Your Life” star describes as a younger, better-looking Ocean’s Eleven — opens in theaters this Friday, Aug. 20.

Sorry, Chelsea Clinton: Yours was not the only wedding going off without a hitch this weekend.
Rapper T.I. and his longtime flame, BET reality star and singer Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, wed in a secret ceremony Friday, July 30, in Miami Beach. And they plan to repeat their vows in three more cities, T.I.’s rep told UsMagazine.com this week. Next they’ll head off to Las Vegas for a party with friends.
The couple have been dating since 2001 and have one son together, Major.
The proverbial Ride or Die Chick: She’s not only one of the hood’s most sought after lovelies, she’s one of hip-hop’s favorite themes. From Biggie’s ”Me and My Bitch” to Method Man’s ”All I Need,” rappers have always sung the praises of that one woman who will stay with them til only death do they part, with or without the ring.
We may now add T.I. and Keri Hilson’s “Got Your Back” to that collection.
