NEW YORK, NY – T.I. may be in a bit of trouble – help isn’t far off!

T.I.’s career and life looked like it was taking off again. His new movie Takers, which he starred in and co-executive produced, opened in theaters at No. 1 last weekend. His album, King Uncaged, is scheduled for a September 28 release. On top of that, he married Tameka Cottle in July. All of this since his release from a halfway house in March. Those good vibes may be put on hold for a bit…

T.I. was arrested on Wednesday for drug possession and it could land the rapper back in jail. He and his wife were arrested in West Hollywood after deputies pulled their car over after smelling marijuana and arrested them on suspicion of possessing meth-amphetamines.

Looks like the King might be going back to the cage. His attempt at a fresh start might be coming to an abrupt. According to lawyer Steven Knowles, if convicted, T.I. could face a multiple-year jail sentence. “This is big time,” Knowles told Yahoo! Music. “I really don’t envy his defense lawyer.”

The Takers star had spent seven months in a federal prison in Arkansas for illegal firearms possession and possessing a gun as a convicted felon.

According to the Associated Press, as a condition to his three-year parole, he was forbidden from committing another federal, state or local crime, or illegally possessing a controlled substance. Looks like T.I. dug himself a grave and it’s going to be mighty hard to get out of it – wherever should he turn?

Cue Ed Anger and PhD Ape…

T.I.’s legal team knows that this is an uphill battle and that calling in the big guns is the only way to have a fighting chance. They know that there aren’t two more larger than life personalities than Anger and PhD Ape. Bringing them on is a smart move and one that will hopefully salvage the career of T.I.

“We know that PhD Ape is in Europe helping Team USA, but we figured any advice he had to offer was a step in the right direction,” a member of T.I.’s camp told Weekly World News. “PhD Ape was more than helpful and he made a call to his good buddy, Ed Anger, to come and help us.”

Compassion and Ed Anger don’t exactly mix. However, if you get the conservative riled up enough about a subject, he is capable of making magic happen. PhD Ape filled him in on the matter and told him it’s a cause worth fighting for – proving that an entertainer can turn his life around.

“I’m madder than Jennifer Aniston at a speed dating event,” Anger told us. “T.I. is lucky that Ape is a good friend of mine because I would much rather be at home complaining about everything. Listen, the man screwed up – again – I get it. But I’m convinced that the King of the South is a good man – who just wants to entertain. We’re going to push for community service. And when it’s done, Ape and myself will whip him into shape.”

T.I. better hope that having two heavyweights in his corner can save his career.


MIKE SORRENTINO’S ABS BUY A BENTLEY

NEW YORK, NY – The Situation is taking over Mike Sorrentino’s life!

Mike Sorrentino has risen to fame thanks to the Jersey Shore and The Situation. Sorrentino is the brains of his operation and The Situation aka his abs is the beauty. Over the course of his Jersey Shore stardom, The Situation has taken on a life of it’s own. There isn’t a moment where Mike’s abs aren’t on display and he can’t go 5 minutes without taking his shirt off. Well … WWN has learned it’s because the abs are alive!

We’ve seen glimpses of Mike Sorrentino as a kind and caring individual. Always cooking dinner for his housemates and being a shoulder to cry on. However, come nightfall, a new person comes alive and engages into creep mode (scoring hot girls). It’s like a man turning into a werewolf – it’s an uncontrollable science and it’s taking it toll on Sorrentino.

“I am very thankful for my success and fame right now, but I don’t feel like myself,” Sorrentino told us. “My abs have taken over me and I don’t have control over them. I binge on fast food, soda and just pure fat, but after it all, my abs are still there. I don’t know what to do. I’m losing my mind.”

His abs have struck again. Sorrentino, thanks to The Situation, has purchased a Bentley. A very nice car for a very nice set of abs.

“I didn’t want that car. I don’t need that car,” Sorrentino added. “What is happening. Something has to be done.”

Those abs will surely be on full display once the new Dancing with the Stars season takes off.


CONAN O’BRIEN NAMES UPCOMING SHOW

NEW YORK, NY – The suspense is finally over – Conan O’Brien has a name for his show!

Love him, hate him or don’t care about him – regardless, Conan O’Brien will have a new show this fall. His “new show” will debut on November 8 on TBS. There has been much speculation as to what he would name it – edge of your seat kind of stuff. The wait is over and the funny man has spoken…

“Conan”

That’s it. Quick and to the point.

“It’s ‘Conan,’ simple, pure, like the guy himself,” O’Brien said in a Youtube video released first to NY Magazine’s Vulture blog and TeamCoco.com.

O’Brien has been out of the headlines for a bit now. The ugly divorce from NBC and the “Tonight” show is behind him – and he’s gone ahead with very successful ventures. He also walked away from the divorce with pockets full of millions of dollars.

In the video, O’Brien appears behind a desk in a bare office.

“I’ve still got the beard,” he says, “and a pretty crappy office.”

He jokes that he spent millions of dollars and had legal and media research teams look into potential names, but ultimately came up with “Conan.”


BAT BOY WANTS TO HOST NEXT EMMYS

NEW YORK, NY – The 2010 Emmys were a big success! Could next year’s be even better?!

The NBC network hasn’t exactly been the best of homes for those late night hosts. The Conan O’Brien-Jay Leno debacle has been well documented and Jimmy Fallon has been on the outside looking in when it comes to the “big dogs” of late night. Despite that fact, Fallon got his moment to shine as emcee of the Emmy Awards. Reviews are in and it seems as though he did quite alright.

Fallon’s collection of pre-taped bits and laugh-out-loud musical numbers provided a much-needed comedic jolt to a historically tedious awards show. Fallon’s success as host may serve a double purpose. His late night show on NBC hasn’t exactly garnered staggering numbers and hopefully this Emmy exposure will help sell his name and show.

“The welcoming, eager-to-please Fallon was a success…,” Time magazine said.

The Los Angeles Times said Fallon “played to his own strengths” and said the show was “energetically hilarious.”

The 2010 Emmys provided some upsets and expected winners. “Mad Men” won for best drama and “Modern Family” won for best comedy series. “Top Chef” surprised many by winning best reality competition show. To see all the winners, you can go here.

So What’s next? Well the 2011 Emmy awards of course! Time to start scouting the next host. Weekly World News has gotten word from its own star and his own intentions to hopefully host the awards show. That’s right, Bat Boy has already thrown his name into the hat.

Bat Boy’s star continues to rise and he’s involved in countless projects as of now. He helped Tiger Woods get out of his funk and actually play somewhat close to his potential at the Barclays tournament this past weekend. He’s in the running to be the next Bachelor. The sky is the limit for America’s favorite human.

“There is no doubt that Bat Boy would bring a different element to the Emmys,” said his spokeswoman. “He loves being in front of a crowd and being the life of the party. Our only concern as his management team is that he doesn’t go into the crowd and bite any celebrities. Sofia Vergara would definitely be his first target.”

There is definitely time, but Bat Boy has started campaigning.


JERSEY SHORE SPIN-OFF SHOW

DOWN SOUTH – Our worst nightmares have come true and a new show is being made in the likeness of the Jersey Shore!

It’s only the second season of the Jersey Shore, but the cast has already bestowed numerous priceless revelations onto society. The art of G-T-L is being perfected across the nation (that’s gym, tan, laundry for you rookies). Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s abs and Pauly D’s hair have become entirely separate entities. Creepin, the shirt before the shirt and the list goes on.

Jersey Shore has been such a hit, that it has given way to the idea of creating a spin-off show along the same lines. The producer of Jersey Shore is teaming up with Comedy Central to create the new party-going reality show. Oh the agony!

Sally Ann Salsano’s 495 Prods, is shooting footage for a proposed series billed as a more comedic, Southern version of her “Jersey” format.

The current working title is “Party Down South” and Comedy Central has emerged as its home. Comedy Central hasn’t exactly pumped out reality shows, but given Jersey Shore’s success, this idea could be a winner for the station.

“It’s no ‘Redneck Jersey Shore,’” an insider said. “We’re looking to have viewers laughing with the cast, not at them. We want a cast of funny people with stories to tell.”

The project is still at the very-early stages, so the network isn’t ready to comment officially. Programming executives soon will decide whether to continue, which could mean a direct-to-series order.


MILEY SINGLE – SETS SIGHTS ON BIEBER

NEW YORK, NY – Miley Cyrus has called it quits with her Aussie Hunk. She’s set her sights on a new target!

Miley Cyrus and Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth dated for over a year before calling it quits. Cyrus has been no stranger to the media, even at the ripe-old age of 17. She’s made a dramatic change from sweetheart on her Hannah Montana show to her sexier image today. Cyrus has not been afraid of pushing the envelope and needs someone who will do the same – Hemsworth wasn’t that guy.

The breakup comes just a day after news broke that Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian were dating. Cyrus and Kardashian share one thing in common – they crave the spotlight. Cyrus is in a rush to grow up and needs/wants all the publicity she can get. There is no doubt that Bieber is a magnet for media attention and Cyrus has zeroed in on the pop star.

“I’ve always admired Justin,” Cyrus told Weekly World News. “He is so talented and he’s just adorable. For some reason, I’ve always believed that Justin and myself were meant to be together. I’m following my heart on this one.”

We hear a restraining order in the near future.

How does Cyrus plans to accomplish tearing Bieber away from Kardashian? We don’t exactly know and she didn’t reveal her master plan. Let’s be honest, Bieber would be a fool to give up a great thing with Kardashian. But stranger things have happened.

“Kim and I are extremely happy,” Bieber told WWN. “It’s great to have the news out in the open and to just be able to relax and enjoy life.”

WWN asked Bieber about Cyrus and her latest developments.

“Miley is very talented and it’s unfortunate to hear about her breakup. She’ll be just fine. As for me, I’m a one-woman kind of guy.”

Stay tuned for any developments.


KIM KARDASHIAN AND JUSTIN BIEBER DATING

NEW YORK, NY – Two of the hottest individuals in entertainment today have decided to start some romance!

Kim Kardashian has always had the media’s attention and she’s been the fantasy of countless men. Justin Bieber’s star seems to know no limits – the 16-year-old is a millionaire and has girls across the globe going crazy over him. Both are hot commodities and Weekly World News has discovered that they are going to be hot together.

The A-list socialite and the pop sensation are an official couple. Kardashian and Bieber are off the market – for now.

“When it comes to love, age is just a number,” Kardashian told WWN.

The two became close, closer than many expected, during their Elle photo shoot. Both were playful and happy, while they frolicked in the water on a beach.

Bill O’Reilly, no stranger to meddling in the business of others, was severely disgusted with the photo shoot. He blasted Kardashian, arguing that if a 16-year-old girl was photographed suggestively with a 29-year-old man, he’d be in “big trouble.” O’Reilly needs to relax and worry about himself – let the couple live!

Kardashian appeared on “Lopez Tonight” on Tuesday, where she proceeded to say that she would date Bieber “if he was of legal age.” Clue number two.

“He definitely has this swag to him,” she said. “You just have to meet him. I thought that the shoot was all in fun. We had a good time. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.”

The first clue came way back in May. Kardashian and Bieber attended the White House Correspondent’ Association Dinner. The two were coy, with Bieber going so far as to tell E! that Kardashian was the person he most wanted to meet.

Shortly after their “first encounter,” Kardashian Twittered that she officially had “Bieber fever.” He responded to that by calling her his “girlfriend.” Joke – WWN thinks not!

After serious investigative work and borderline harassment, WWN has broken the truth.

“We’ve tried to hard to keep it a secret,” Bieber told WWN. “Society is always so judgmental and has a negative view on a situation like ours. Sure she’s older, but we click, we laugh and we enjoy each other’s company. We’re just going to roll with the punches.”

Good for Bieber. Kid has got it made right now. It’s going to be a few years before they’re hitting the club together, but Bieber doesn’t care about Kardashian’s implant problems. So it looks like a match made in heaven.


ELIN NORDEGREN BREAKS SILENCE

NEW YORK, NY – Elin Nordegren finally breaks her silence and tells her side of the story!

Elin Nordegren is now officially Tiger Woods’ ex-wife. It wasn’t by choice, she was forced down this route thanks to Woods’ philandering and ill-advised decisions. At one point, Nordegren seemed like the perfect wife – beautiful, loyal and a great mother, but Woods flushed all of that down the toilet. Nordegren has been extremely silent over the past nine months, but she’s finally breaking her silence in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine.

The Swedish beauty admits that she tried desperately to save her marriage with golf’s No. 1. “Blindsided” by his multiple affairs, she worked to save their relationship, but in the end the damage was irreparable and she didn’t trust him.

“I’ve been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children,” she says in the magazine’s latest issue, due out this Friday.

Nordegren has handled the heartbreak and betrayal with grace and as best as anyone could. The 30-year-old mother of two is studying towards a college degree in psychology, and says that despite her now ex-husband’s betrayal, “I also feel stronger that I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself.”

“My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal,” she says.

She also told the magazine that this was her first – and last – interview, as she intends to remain a private person.
