Chris Brown Dating New Girls, Erica Jackson and Natalie Mejia

Chris Brown is so over Rihanna and their spat that he is dating another woman already. Just after pleading his innocence he has started making headway with Erica Jackson.

Chris and Erica had dated before his rise to fame. They were once a solid couple and Brown hasn’t been shy about “parading” his reheated relationship around. He reportedly went back to his hometown to regroup and ran into his ex. She offered a shoulder to cry and he accepted.

Via NY Daily News:

“They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”

Jackson is a polar opposite of Rihanna according to the loose lipped sources.

“She’s more of a plain Jane — cute though,” says our source. “Erica has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid. At the very least, she’s helping to ease Chris’ pain over Rihanna. He was mad in love with that girl.”

Reps for the accused singer claim that there is not truth to a new woman in Brown’s life. Despite being seen with Erica at a tattoo parlor on Sunset Blvd. on Saturday, reps insist he “doesn’t even know” who she is. Another rumor states that he dating Natalie Mejia from the band Girlicious. This is said to be the girl in the tattoo parlor. (See Photo Above.)

Should a new lady in Chris’ life be true, RiRi is going to be pissed. I am sure Barney’s and Wet Seal will be feeling the wrath of her credit cards because I feel a makeover coming on. She and Lindsay Lohan can pick out matching weaves and cry over tubs of Ben and Jerry’s while watching “Beaches” together.

Rapper T.I. Prison Sentence

Rapper Clifford Harris, aka T.I., aka T.I.P. (i.e. I am getting too old to follow all of these aliases), was sentenced today to one year and one day in prison.

T.I. pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge stemming from an arrest in October of 2007. He agreed to complete 1,000 hours of community service prior to his sentencing, pay $100,000 in fines, and complete an additional 500 hours of community service once his prison term is over.
T.I. has received praise from many, including the Northern Georgia district judge who sentenced him, for going above and beyond what expected of him as part of his plea deal.

T.I. worked off some of those community service hours working on the MTV documentary “Road To Redemption” in which the rapper intervened in the lives of various troubled youths to help get them back on the right track.

Today, he released the following statement:

Via E! Online:

“Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all. 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.”

It was also acknowledged by court officials that Harris would receive credit for the 305 days he spent under house arrest. He will also be eligible for early release pending good behavior. Judging by his recent Vegas crotch exposure in which he rubbed a shirt over his sweaty man-hood and threw it to his fans….he’ll love jail. Don’t worry T.I., if Paris Hilton can make it a month in the pokey, you will be fine.
