Jeffery Wright Beats Charges
Remember when actor Jeffrey Wright got into that bar fight down in Shreveport Louisiana and got arrested and tasered by the cops? The charges against Jeff have been dropped. What charges you ask? Jeffrey was charged with interfering with an arrest after he tried to stop the cops from arresting his 'W' co-star Josh Brolin. And, as per the agreement, as long as Jeff stays out of trouble until March '09, everything is all good. Click here to see the tasering go down.

T.I. On The Hook For Baby's Mama's Lawyer's Fees
According to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:
Lawyers for the mother of T.I.’s sons say the rapper owes an $8,000 attorney bill in a custody case.
T.I. is scheduled to appear in Fulton County Superior Court on the matter Tuesday.
The two-time Grammy winner was ordered in September to pay more than $3,000 a month to LaShon Dixon — to whom he had been paying about $2,000 per month — as well as the boys’ private school tuition, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children’s extracurricular activities.
The court ordered T.I. to pay the attorney fees by Nov. 19, said Dixon’s attorney, Randy Kessler.
T.I. and Dixon are still negotiating child support and custody of the boys, ages 7 and 8. He also has two sons with his fiancee, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, of the defunct R&B group Xscape.

Soulja Boy Survives Home Invasion Gun Battle
Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's sophomore cd, iSouljaBoyTellem, only sold like 80,000 copies in 3 weeks and he got robbed at gunpoint. Word first went out on Soulja Boy's Twitter page that 6 six goons came to his house and pulled guns on him. The Twitter messages later disappeared, but what they said were, "Thanking God for my life. Six niggaz kicked in my door and tried to kill me. Glad we alive, they had AKs and pistols and tried to kidnap my boy Jbar." His reps later confirmed the story, but refused to give anymore details. Then two dudes made a video claiming responsibility.
