A plea deal over a felony weapons charge filed against him resulted to a 366-day jail sentence for rapper T.I. He will serve his sentence at a Georgia prison.

“Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all,” the rapper was quoted as saying.

“Everything I learned was through trial and error. I’ve learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won’t make the same mistakes as I,” he added.

The rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., is expected to start his jail term by May 19 but he could start earlier if he will voluntarily turn himself in within the next month.

Judge Charles Pannell Jr. of Northern Georgia District lauded the 28-year old rapper for complying with the plea deal. As a result, T.I. will get 305 days credit that he already spent in house detention.

If you ask Eric Mabius about the pairing of his character in “Ugly Betty” and his assistant Betty Suarez, he’d prefer that it won’t happen.

Mabius plays the ladies man Daniel Meade in the hit comedy series. He knows that several forum and fan sites have started pairing the two unlikely couple in the series but if he had a say on this, Mabius said that it’s like “jumping the shark.”

The 37-year old actor said that he’s aware that other “Betty” versions shown around the world ends with the boss marrying his assistant but in his case, it’s not an exciting idea.

The top rating series is currently on its third season and is aired every Thursdays on ABC.
