T.I. on His "last" Road to Redemption- The Big House

Rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, leaves federal court in Atlanta on Thurs. March 27. Friday he was sentenced to a year in prison on gun charges.

Okay MTV can stop milking this story now. For months viewers have followed Clifford Harris through his daily routine, while awaiting his incarceration. He was sentenced to a year and a day in prison on Friday for illegally possessing machine guns and silencers, as prosecutors lauded his anti-violence advocacy since his arrest.

He originally faced up to 20 years. He performed his community service publicly. T.I.'s Road to Redemption" show has actually helped a lot of youth in the Atlanta area. He posted $3 million bail after his arrest.

Many people say he got a "cushy" deal. Well, most celebrities get, "cushy" deals, T.I. is not the first and won't be the last.

Usher Has Meltdown on TRL

R&B superstar Usher slammed journalists yesterday while promoting his new album “Here I Stand,” culminating in a what some are calling a “mini-meltdown” on MTV’s TRL.

It started out alright, however as soon as questions about his wife, Tameka Foster and his firing of his mother came into play, then homeboy just lost it.

Usher’s frustration spun out of control when he co-hosted TRL, at one point the singer raged, “I love my wife very, very much and there has been a little rumor earlier this week about us separating; it ain't true.” In footage captured by an Usher fansite the singer zeros in on the camera “As a matter of fact I'm tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me, my wife and my mother.” (see video below).
