TI Puts TMZ on BLAST Over Lil Wayne Report >>Hollywood

T.I. is speaking out about his friend Lil Wayne and BLASTING celebrity news site TMZ for allegedly misreporting the severity of his seizures yesterday.

The rapper told his followers on Twitter that he personally called to check on him, and also gave the following interview about the Weezy situation:

T.I. Blasts Lil Wayne Report

TMZ reported last night that Lil Wayne was in critical condition after a sizzurp binge, was placed into an induced coma and being read "his last rites."

They have since removed the last rites bit from their story, but have not retracted or clarified any other details surrounding the allegedly dire situation.

Family members and close affiliates of Lil Wayne immediately took to Twitter to slam TMZ, and Weezy himself posted a Tweet saying he's okay.

Bizarre developments all around, since TMZ has broken countless exclusives, is generally very accurate and certainly not in the business of being wrong.

What really happened yesterday? We may never know for sure, but it'll be interesting to see if any more info is released that sheds light on the reports.

Below are some of T.I.'s tweets on the subject, posted after he stepped off stage at SXSW. They're NSFW. And borderline impossible to understand.

But you get the gist most likely ...

North Dakota Abortion Ban: Strictest in the Nation >>Hollywood

North Dakota lawmakers sent their state's Republican governor a pair of anti-abortion bills yesterday, both of which would impose the strictest ban on this practice of any state in the country.

One proposal would make the procedure illegal as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, while the other would prohibiting women from having an abortion because a fetus has a genetic defect, such as Down Syndrome.

While pro-choice advocates say they will protest these measures if they pass, supporters of the bills make it clear that their goal is to challenge the 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade.

Rep. Bette Grande introduced the bills and said the state's budget never crossed the mind of her or anyone on her side.

"I don't look at it from the financial side of things," Grande told The Associated Press on Friday. "I look at it from the life side of things."

The measures now go into Governor Jack Dalrymple's hands, with The American Civil Liberties Union referring to them as "extreme" and noting that many women don't realize they're even pregnant until after six weeks.

"In America, no woman, no matter where she lives, should be

GLAAD Slams Duggar Family for Associating with "Dangerous Hate Group" >>Hollywood

Josh Duggar is making headlines. But, for once, it's not for because he's expecting another child.

The reality star and committed pro-creator is considering an executive position with the Family Research Council, a move that is not sitting well with GLADD President Herndon Graddick.

"Family Research Council is without a doubt one of our country's most dangerous hate groups, led by the most anti-gay man in America, Tony Perkins," Graddick told E! News Friday.

The FRC lists its agenda as the advancement of "faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview."

It supports marriage as only between "one man and one woman."

"Not only has Perkins compared gay people to terrorists, he also supports the ludicrous idea that gay youth should be subjected to harmful therapies that aim to make them straight," Graddick said. "Unlike the Duggars, Perkins isn't about family values, he's about anti-gay hate."

Josh is the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. He took part in ProLifeCon, the organization's pro-life social-media forum, in January.

This may be one feud that not even the

Charlie Sheen Urges Fans to Deface Daughter's Former School; Officials Want Actor Prosecuted >>Hollywood

Charlie Sheen urged his fans to deface his daughter's former school earlier this week, and officials at the school want to see him prosecuted as a result.

Sheen encouraged fans to exact revenge on the school after it did nothing to address a bullying situation involving his 9-year-old daughter Sam.

Specifically, the 47-year-old actor suggested people start egging the place, toilet papering it and/or hucking dog feces at the building. Good times.

Charlie removed Sam, his daughter with Denise Richards, from the Viewpoint School last May; it's unclear why he waited until now to sound off.

The parents and administrators, in any case, and needless to say, are pissed at Charlie's threat, fearing his fans might actually act on his advice.

Several parents at the Viewpoint School say a meeting was held Thursday night to address Sheen's Twitter rant; some want him to be prosecuted.

As far as they're concerned, Sheen has demonstrated that he is not only a credible threat to act upon his threats but a violent person as well.

Parents say he threatened to shoot someone with a gun, held a knife to his ex-wife's throat, shot Kelly Preston, and trapped a hooker in his hotel room.

You know, among many other things. He was never prosecuted for any above, but needless to say, Charlie's track record is less than sterling.

Officials are lobbying to have him investigat

Miley Cyrus Denies Break-Up Rumors, Gets New Heart Tattoo >>Hollywood

Amidst rumors that she has split from Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus took to Twitter yesterday and seemingly shot down any talk of a break-up.

"Lies took over the world," the young star posted. "Facts don't really hold value anymore!"

Cyrus also stopped by Kat Von D's office and had that famous tattoo artist etch some new ink on her right forearm.

It's a miniature version of DaVinci's anatomical heart. Check it out here, courtesy of Von D's Instagram account:

Casey Anthony Offered $10K ... to Shut Up Permanently! >>Hollywood

Nobody wants to pay for a Casey Anthony interview, but one man will pay her to never, ever do one. James Schober is offering $10K to buy her silence.

For the rest of her life.

According to new court documents filed in Casey Anthony's bankruptcy case, she is almost $800K in the hole and has less than $1K to her name.

This is because no matter how much our country loves gossip and notorious figures, no one is willing to go there with Casey. Except James Schober.

He's offering a relatively modest ten grand for the exclusive rights to Casey's life story, but not to make it into a book or a movie or anything like that.

The man claims he wants to own the rights solely so he can "prevent Ms. Anthony or others from publishing or profiting from her story in the future."

He's just a random guy with no ties to Anthony or her family.

The trustee handling her bankruptcy case has been tasked with identifying anything that can be used to pay off the money Casey Anthony owes.

That's how this was revealed, and while there's no way a judge will agree to the offer, it's sti

Octomom: Hacked By Cyber-Assailants! >>Hollywood

The infamous celebrity hackers have claimed a new victim: Octomom.

Guess they're defining "celebrity" pretty loosely as time goes on.

The celebrity hackers, who struck this week and last, may be just targeting any individual who is remotely infamous or potentially hateable at this point.

It's certainly not about using the info to steal money in broke Octo's case. Nadya Suleman probably has like no credit. Talk about a bad ID theft target!

Most of those who were hacked have reason to sweat, though.

The personal financial information of a shocking number of stars and government figures has been exposed. Even Michelle Obama was hacked.

Other victims include:

Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, FBI Director Robert Mueller, CIA Director John Brennan, VP Joe Biden, Tiger Woods, Mitt Romney, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

There may be more.

According to reports, the hackers' website - where they've posted a lot of the stolen information and people have even "used" some of it - has a thing for Dexter.

Vigilante justice. Doing away with bad people. That sort of thing.

Lil Wayne: In Critical Condition After More Seizures, Likely Sizzurp Binge >>Hollywood

Lil Wayne is reportedly in critical condition after suffering more seizures. The rapper was rushed to the ICU at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

The rapper was hospitalized Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures, but was released Wednesday after he stabilized. Today, he did not stabilize.

Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, and placed in restraints in the ICU because he was shaking uncontrollably. He was then placed in an induced coma.

Earlier this afternoon, he was breathing through tubes.

Several people are at Wayne's bedside, both rap artists and family members. There's evidence that he went on a sizzurp binge after his release Wednesday.

Doctors found high amounts of codeine in the 30-year-old's system. Wanye's stomach was pumped three times to flush the drugs from his system.

This took place earlier this afternoon, Pacific Time.

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne's mother is currently on a plane flying to Los Angeles, and no major medical decisions will be made until she arrives.

Story developing ...

UPDATE: As of a few minutes ago, Weezy is said to be stabilizing finally, so there is some reason for hope, but his prognosis is still uncertain.

UPDATE #2: Wayne is still in the ICU but has reportedly stabilized. "I'm good everybody. Thx for all the prayers and love," Wayne said on Twitter.

Wow. We're cautiously optimistic, but that was a quick turnaround.

Rapper Mack Maine said on Twitter that LW is "alive and well. We watching the Syracuse (basketball) g

Kristen Stewart: Sex Scenes "Necessary, Not Gratuitous" in On the Road >>Hollywood

Kristen Stewart tells the Chicago Sun-Times that she was inspired to play "wild, sexy girl" Marylou in On The Road, despite pushing her own boundaries.

The actress says her sex scenes were "necessary," that Marylou was surprisingly self-aware, and that in the end, "human beings are just animals."

"It's about fiercely living and squeezing every single drop out of life and not denying any aspects of it," she said, calling the sex scenes "non-gratuitous."

"So much is clearly illustrated through her sexuality in her film," Kristen said of her character Marylou. "But there was nothing about it that seemed gratuitous."

"It a;; just seemed so necessary. There was simply no question that this would be a more sexual role. I didn't want to just play the wild, sexy, girl."

"Yes, she's daring, but she's completely self-aware. She's someone who can harness her fears in life although she's not above emotions like jealousy."

Ann Curry Thinks Matt Lauer Sucks, But NBC Execs Squarely to Blame For Today Debacle >>Hollywood

Today's edition of the Today mill focuses on Ann Curry and her alleged reaction to reports that Matt Lauer may be fired from the struggling show.

If you assumed Curry would be laughing all the way to the bank with her severance check, think again. She's more upset with NBC than anything.

While plenty pissed at her former co-host - who she wishes would just shut up - Curry places the blame on NBC for empowering Lauer in the first place.

According to reports, the powers that be have allowed him to become a diva, when they should have limited his power and kept him focused on journalism.

"Ann should be crowing from the rooftops about Matt's contract not being renewed, but that's just not who she is," a source close to Curry says.

"Remember, Ann herself was blamed last year for the show losing ratings to Good Morning America ... they fired her and the situation didn't improve!!

"There's a real culture of passing the buck and looking for a scapegoat at Today and it seems that it's Matt's turn now to be thrown under the bus."

"She doesn't blame him for her firing, but Ann feels Matt was afforded way too much power and input when it came to programming decisions."

"At the end of the day he's just a journalist."

"The line between journalist and executive producer was clouded and Ann thinks the network bosses have no one to blame for the slide but themselves."

Ratings were slipping before Ann Curry's firing
