GOOD DEED OF THE DAY: T.I. Helps 14 Fellow Inmates Get Family Visitation

Posted: 30 May 2011 09:00 AM PDT

 

Despite being incarcerated at the Forrest City Correctional Facility in Forrest City, Arkansas, T.I. still manages to give back to the community.  He recently sponsored a bus trip for 46 family members of 14 fellow inmates to visit the prison.  Deets inside....

 

Even while serving an 11-month bid for a probation violation, T.I. managed to show his love and support of strong families by sponsoring a bus trip to link up some of his fellow inmates with their family members. 

In a statement, T.I. told MTV News....

"I've been blessed to receive tons and tons of mail from my fans, family and friends, as well as get visits on a regular basis. Unfortunately some guys aren't as fortunate.  There are a lot of good dudes in here that haven't been able to see there loved ones in years. Their families can't afford the trip so I wanted to help out."

The trip was called "To See a Love One," and family members boarded a chartered bus in Atlanta and Alabama on Saturday and visited the prison on Sunday and today.

Nice to see T.I. making an impact while behind bars.  By the way, his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle tweeted recently that he'll be out in a few months.

Lil Wayne and Drake hit Las Vegas this weekend (after partying it up at King of Diamonds strip club Friday night in the MIA) to perform at Rehab.  How fitting.

While performing at the Hard Rock's pool Rehab, the Young Money crew kicked it, got the crowd crunk, and took a dip in the pool:


Weezy and Drizzy hit the stage together.

 

Weezy kicked it with Lil Fizz.  How old is that dude anyway??

 

Even Lakers baller (and Gloria Govan's fiance') Matt Barnes got in on the Young Money love.  Fun times.

 

MAGAZINE FAB: Zoe Saldana Covers The May 2011 Issue Of "PRESTIGE" Magazine

Posted: 30 May 2011 07:31 AM PDT

YBF chic Zoe Saldana dons some beautiful haute couture gowns in the May 2011 issue of PRESTIGE Magazine's Hong Kong edition. In the mag, she also talks about her upcoming movie Colombiana.  See the pics and read highlights inside....

 

For the May 2011 cover of PRESTIGE Magazine's Hong Kong Edition, Zoe Saldana, who is engaged to her longtime beau Keith Britton, wore Elie Saab Haute Couture and spoke to the mag about her latest movie.  Elsewhere in the pictorial, the actress wore looks from Burberry Prorsum, Alberta Ferretti, Miu Miu, Escada, Stephen Webster, Versace and Glynneth Barren. 

The PRESTIGE Magazine photoshoot took place at Montage Beverly Hills and the Avatar actress talked about her upcoming film Colombiana, where she plays an assassin out to avenge the murder of her parents. 

.
On why she decided to take lead role in new movie Colombiana:

 The opportunity to work with [producer/screenwriter] Luc Besson, another filmmaker I completely respect, and who’s known for writing great roles for women. And I was excited about working with an international cast and crew. And even though it’s a typical story of revenge, it’s a story told through the eyes of a woman who was hurt when she was a little girl and who grows up wanting justice for what was done to her. I felt touched by that.

On filming in Paris:

 If I could do a movie in Paris every year, I’d be the happiest camper. It’s such a beautiful city, especially in the summer.

On what she looks for in a movie role:

In the past I’ve played supporting roles, the love interest, the chick in the flick. I’m not degrading that. But it just doesn’t fulfill me as much as when I get to play someone who represents me as entirely as can be.

On taking on directing roles:

I’m working with my sister directing episodes for a pilot with Vin Diesel called The Ropes, about the lives of bouncers. We’re so psyched. I had the most amazing first day of shooting. I was on the set for 12 hours, went to bed at two am, was up again at 7.30, my energy and brain completely alert. I can’t wait to get back on set. After one day on set, I’m feeling the itch. I’m also directing a video short for Glamour magazine. And I’m in talks to possibly direct a film in Montreal, but I don’t want to say too much about that until it actually happens. Anything can change in this business.
