T.I. Helps Family Members Of Inmates

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 1st, 2011

T.I. has helped the family members of fellow inmates, reports Vibe.

Currently behind bars for violating probation after being arrested for drug possession, the rapper apparently financed a bus trip for the families of 14 inmates to visit their loves ones at the facility.

The Atlanta rapper, who is serving an 11-month sentence, is currently at the Forrest City Correctional Facility in Forrest City, Arkansas, where he funded the families to visit.

The bus trip reportedly transported 46 friends and family members to the facility, where they were able to visit for two days.

T.I. previously spoke to MTV about his time in the slammer: “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 their loved ones in years. Their families can’t afford the trip so I wanted to help out.”

T.I. is scheduled to be released from the Forrest City Correctional Facility on September 29. The man has such a great heart, and this is one of those rare cases where you actually feel bad that he’s in jail, even though he deserved it. Can’t they let him out on terms of niceness and charitable behaviour?

Heath Ledger Scholarship Unveiled

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on June 8th, 2008

Heath Ledger’s memory will continue to live on.

The late actor’s relatives, friends and ex-fiancée Michelle Williams revealed the Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund at the AiF Breathrough Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills. The fund will provide financial aide for Australian actors struggling to break into Hollywood.

Although the amount of the award has yet to be finalized, the scholarship will cover the costs of acting classes and rent and will be given out annually starting in 2009.

Ledger’s father Kim, was unable to attend the event, but sent a note:

“We know that Heath would be proud of his attachment to this scholarship,” the elder Ledger wrote. “[It] does what Heath has done personally during the last 10 years…[supporting] Australian actors, singers, directors or writers who seek to supply their talents to the USA.”

Ledger died Jan 22 from an accidental overdose to prescription medicine.
