During T.I.'s recent appearance on the Wendy Williams show the talk show host questioned him about his most recent drug bust, suggesting he should have gotten high at his hotel instead of driving around Los Angeles. Wendy also asked him whether or not his wife Tiny should have taken the fall for him as 50 Cent had suggested. Tip refused to engage in the conversation other than to say he had talked to 50 and the two reached an understanding.
At a recent concert Tip let the audience know why he reacted the way he did.
"Tell that motherf*cker Wendy Williams I ain't got no real problems with her. I ain't got no problems with Wendy Williams she just got on a topic I chose not to be on," he said. "She on yesterday, I'm on tomorrow. I don't mean her no harm in that. She got her position, I got mine. Hers is yesterday, my position is tomorrow. I aint got no business in reverse."
Doesn't sound like Wendy is going to be on the Harris' Christmas card list this year.

A Texas mom upset after being denied food stamps shot her two children before killing herself Monday (December 5).
Police say 38-year old Rachelle Grimmer pulled a gun out at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services building in Laredo, and staged a seven-hour standoff with police while holding employees hostage. At some point during the standoff the manager of the office convinced Grimmer to let all of the employees go free in exchange for him.
”He told the woman he would remain with her,” a Laredo police officer said. “He acted quite courageously.”
Police negotiators were brought in to talk to Grimmer. She reportedly hung up on them repeatedly before letting the manager go unharmed at 7:45 pm.
One of Grimmer's children, 12 year-old Ramie, updated her Facebook page at various times throughout the standoff.
At 6:50pm the girl posted as her work status, "may die today." At 11 pm she made another post that read, "tear gas… seriously."
Negotiators continued to try to talk Grimmer out of the building until she hung up for the last time at 11:45 pm. Several minutes later three gunshots were heard.
According to Fox News, police then raided the building and found Grimmer dead and her two children, Ramie and 10-year old Timothy clinging to life.
The two children were rushed to University Hospital in San Antonio where they are listed in "very critical" condition.
Meanwhile, police are trying to figure out what drove the mother to this point.

Tyga recently stopped by Shade 45's Sway in the Morning show to perform "Rack City" and "Still Got It" for Sway's concert series.
The Young Money rapper also spoke on a tweet he sent out while at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards regarding Jay-Z and Birdman.
"I think what I said was 'Birdman's sitting next to me and Jay-Z's right here.' I said 'Birdman talkin' 'bout baby money' and I thought it was funny," Tyga said. "I remember when I left nobody said anything to anybody. But Kanye said what up to me, Big Sean said what up and Kid Cudi, but nobody else said anything. It was just funny to me."
Sway then asked Tyga what he would do if Young Money went to lyrical war.
"I'm right there," Tyga replied.

Soulja Boy has filed a lawsuit against his ex-manager claiming he was taken advantage of and duped into signing several bad contracts when he entered the business at 16-years old.
According to TMZ, Soulja filed papers in Georgia Supreme Court, claiming his ex-manager/lawyer Philip Ransom had him sign contracts that were "unconscionable, oppressive, and unjust." The documents allege Soulja signed a management agreement that gave Ransom 5% of his work related income for as long as Ransom managed him.
A separate contract Soulja signed allegedly gave Interscope Records 50% of all the rapper's copyrights. Soulja now claims that deal is "commercially unreasonable" and "contrary to music industry custom and practice."
Ransom denies the claims and has filed a countersuit against Soulja, alleging the Atlanta rapper still owes him money.

Charles Hamilton Jr. aka C.J. Hilton is a newcomer that is fast on the rise. The R&B prodigy earned his first Grammy nomination before the age of 21 for his work on Raphael Saadiq's 2006 song "Never Give You Up."
Fast forward five years and the Baltimore crooner is working on material for his debut album.
Check out his latest single "Cold Summer."
50 Cent's Street King initiative was just the first step as he continues to look for ways to help those less fortunate. With SK, the business mogul/rapper/actor teamed with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help provide meals to one billion people in underdeveloped countries.
At the launch of his SMS By 50 headphone line Monday (December 5) at NYC's James Hotel, Fif announced a similar philanthropic component is tied to the headphones. This time he has partnered with Feeding America, a non-profit organization that feeds families in need throughout the United States.
"I’m trying to create a template that’ll become a standard," 50 told Rolling Stone. "A lot of the problems that Americans have, there’s no money to solve them. If we’re having stimulus package for them, [points to New York skyline], who’s there to help families? According to World Bank numbers, 1 percent of revenue from big business would solve all extreme poverty. Imagine if every bottle of Ciroc provided meals? If I’m able to influence my peers – because we have a lot of influence, we’re out in the public eye – if you start seeing myself, and the Jay-Z’s and the Diddy’s doing these kinds of things with the big companies that they’re associated with, it would make a dent in the actual problems. So for every pair of headphones sold, 250 meals are being provided, for all domestic sales in-store and at smsby50.com."
Another big headline this week has been the signing of DJ Pauly D to G-Note Records. 50 told Rolling Stone he saw a unique opportunity with the "Jersey Shore" star.
"When Pauly came by to see me, they had options. They had several places that they were going, and people that were interested in doing a deal with him," explained 50. "Obviously, the momentum from Jersey Shore was spun off into him being the first one to have his own independent series. They’re moving places and DJing in front of bigger audiences, and getting ready to make moves internationally, where the DJ is the star, overseas. When I sat with him, I saw the opportunities we could have moving forward, with brand extension and packaging the music."
As far as what Pauly D brings to the table musically. The DJ will offer his own unique brand of sound according to 50.
"I call him 'the bridge.' He’s going to be something between what you would get from a DJ Khaled or a DJ Drama and what you would get from David Guetta."

Last year when the Miami Heat managed to convince free agents Chris Bosh and Lebron James to combine their talents with that of Dwayne Wade, they were thought by many to be the best squad ever assembled on paper. The Heat came close to winning it all, but fell short when they were beaten by the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
With another year of playing together the Heat figure to only get better, and will be the favorite out of the Eastern Conference to make it back to the finals.
The current favorite out of the Western Conference would have to be the Mavericks, considering they are the defending champs, but the road back to the championship might actually lead through Los Angeles, not Dallas if the Lakers get their wish.
The Lakers are in heavy pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard and point guard Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. Both players are the best in the NBA at their positions. Combine their talents with that of Kobe Bryant's and you would have a team not many would be able to compete with.
Obtaining the services of Paul and Howard would require the Lakers to trade their most talented players Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom. According to various reports, the Lakers are more than willing to trade anyone on their roster outside of Kobe to make these deals happen.
If the Lakers are somehow able to pull this off would they be the most talented team the NBA has ever seen?
