Ludacris and T.I. donated $10,000 each to Atlanta flooding relief ... so what about ATL native NeNe Leakes? She's too busy clubbin' in Hollywood to care.
We got the Real Housewife of ATL in front of Katsuya the other night. Her response to her city's plight: "I'm going to the gay club."
West Hollywood thanks you for your donation.

T.I. has eleven days to report to his one year and one day prison sentence -- and we know where he's going.
T.I., real name Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., will surrender himself to a low security prison in Forrest City, Arkansas by noon on May 26.
No special treatment here -- he'll likely have a roomie, be kept in the general population, which includes about 1,500 inmates, and be assigned to work detail.
In March, Atlanta federal court sentenced the 28-year-old rapper on federal weapons charges related to the purchase of machine guns and silencers.

He has between 30 and 60 days to report to prison.

Since T.I. campaigned so hard for Barack Obama, we thought a pardon from the future president would be a nice "thank you" gift -- but the jail-bound rapper had different ideas.

For a convicted felon, T.I. is pretty damn good at reading the fine print of the law -- 'cause the rapper found a way to VOTE after all!
T.I. -- who pleaded guilty to weapons charges last year -- found a loophole in the Georgia law book, which allows a convicted felon the right to vote IF they're not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.
Because T.I. isn't expected to be sentenced until next year, dude still can exercise his civic duty.
And before authorities could change their mind, T.I. hit a polling place in Atlanta to lock in his ballot ... cause like he says, in America -- you can have whatever you like.

He's pled guilty on federal weapons charges, been under house arrest and faces up to a year in jail -- but the thing that scares the crap out of rapper T.I. ... is a certain 72-year-old white Republican dude from Arizona?! Too bad convicted felons can't vote.

T.I. won't have much time to stay out of a fools biz when he heads to jail soon.
So we thought it would be nice to show him what close quarters feels like.

T.I. is finally admitting he has a problem -- telling unregistered voters in D.C., "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." He should have thought about that before pleading guilty to felony weapons charges and officially forfeiting his right to vote.
Still, the Hip Hop Caucus selected the rapper as their official spokesperson and justified their decision by saying, "T.I. can't vote in this election and to come and encourage others to vote, especially young folks from disenfranchised communities, while he still is in the system, is an act of courage and great leadership. Felon disenfranchisement is a major issue that particularly impacts communities of color."

As if the conditions of his "house arrest" weren't already pimp enough, T.I. told our cameraman he's allowed out to pay his wife "special visits."

T.I. is living proof -- felons have more fun.
The dude is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to felony firearms charges -- and the restrictions on the interim are a son of a bitch. He can go to Mr. Chow, but he's not allowed to go to Villa.
Each day he works, he's allowed to stay out until 1:00 AM. The only major restriction -- he can't go to clubs or bars, but he can go to restaurants that are pretty much just like clubs. Hence Mr. Chow last night.
Lady Justice is indeed blind.

Would you take advice about staying sober from someone who hasn't checked into to rehab yet?
As part of the plea deal with the U.S. attorney's office that cut years off his sentence, rapper T.I. is required to spend at least 1,000 hours during the next year preaching nonviolence to "at-risk youth" -- before his one-year sentence begins. And the guy was busted for trying to buy frikkin' machine guns!

Rapper T.I. has just plead guilty to federal weapons possession charges -- and will spend one year behind bars!
T.I., real name Clifford Harris, will begin his sentence after completing at least 1,000 hours of community service -- talking to kids about the dangers of drugs, gangs and guns.
The rapper plead guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm, possession of machine guns and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The King isn't dead -- at least that's what T.I. is saying in a new online video, his first "public" comments since being placed under house arrest.
In a videotaped statement on StreetCred.com, a robed T.I. defends himself against weapons charges, saying, "I look forward to being exonerated on all charges ... I can't stress that enough to ya, ya dig."
T.I. is under home confinement while awaiting trial and is under 24-hour monitoring. He requested to hold Thanksgiving at his house, but withdrew his request after getting negative feedback.

T.I.'s fellow rappers -- and co-stars in the upcoming movie, "American Gangster" -- are speaking out about his recent legal issues and urging the fallen star to keep his head up. It's not like his boys would throw him under the bus!
Common, who plays T.I.'s dad in the film, tells AOL Black Voices that T.I. should continue to pray, saying, "Know that God is with [you]. Know that He knows what the truth is and the truth is going to allow [you] to get out and be alright." Unless, of course, the truth is T.I. did it -- because then he's screwed.
Wu Tang Clan co-founder RZA also had an opinion, saying, "One of my security guards said, 'Don't you ever buy a gun, because you can afford all the security." Perhaps RZA should have given T.I. that advice sooner -- or at least given him his security guard!
T.I. still remains in custody on weapons charges.

Talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres is caught in the middle of a doggy tug of war that has left an innocent girl in tears. 
Ellen and her girlfriend, Portia de Rossi, adopted Iggy (a Brussels Griffon mix) from Mutts and Moms, a dog adoption agency. But things didn't work out as Ellen planned -- her cats didn't get along with Iggy -- so she gave the pooch to her hairdresser, who has two kids, including 12-year-old Ruby.
Last night, a rep from the agency came to the hairdresser's home, claiming Ellen violated the contract by not informing the agency of the hand-off. The rep demanded to take the dog away. Ellen' s position -- yeah, she should have notified the agency, but she found a loving home and isn't that what counts? The agency rep stuck to her guns and removed the dog with cops present. Ruby is heartbroken; reduced to tears.
Ellen says, "I kept saying, 'If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me, but don't take it out on the family. Don't take it out on the dog.'"
TMZ has video of the confrontation at the hairdresser's home, as well as interviews with Ellen, Portia and little Ruby. You can watch the full story tonight on TMZ TV.
Brit was up to her usual tiresome tricks this weekend -- you'll never guess where she went! 
Brit also stopped into a salon and was blinded by flashes on her way out -- once again shouting, "So over it!" ... but later asking for someone's hand to help guide her to the car. She even proved she still can sing, giving an operatic note before driving off. 
Orlando Bloom's reps are spinning his bad behavior following a serious car accident in the most ridiculous way we've seen in a long time.
TMZ has obtained the affidavit and search warrant issued by The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) after T.I. allegedly had his bodyguard buy illegal machine guns and silencers for him.
