Rapper T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., was sentenced in an Atlanta courtroom yesterday to a year and a day behind bars following his October 2007 arrest, when he was caught attempting to buy an arsenal of guns from an undercover FBI agent.

The sentence is part of a plea deal T.I. arranged that required him to complete a total of 1,500 hours of community service, pay a $100,300 fine and serve 366 days in jail for the crime. Without the deal, he was facing more than four years up the river. 

With good behavior, T.I. could be free in just ten months.

He’s been ordered to voluntarily report to jail by May 19th.

Good luck, T.I. We’ll catch you on the flipside.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
