T.I. won't be home for Christmas, but that isn't stopping him from spreading a little holiday cheer. In a message posted on his website, the Grand Hustle CEO took a little time to say a few kinds words in time for the holiday season, prior to his incarceration.

"Happy Holidays on behalf of myself, Grand Hustle and the powers that be," T.I. says in the video. "I want everybody to be safe and hold it down. I'll be back before you know it."

Despite being locked up, T.I. has managed to update the public on his status as he completes a one-year sentence for violating his probation in September. Upon the release of his seventh album 'No Mercy,' Tip thanked his fans for their support. The album landed at the No. 4 spot on the Billboard charts, selling 159,000 units in its first week. His wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, also revealed that he calls her twice a day and sends emails, but is only allowed limited access to the Internet.

Rihanna and Christina Aguilera are under fire for their racey performances on the finale of British talent search 'The X Factor.' The performances took place on Dec. 11, the night before Matt Cardle was crowned the winner, but since then the British broadcasting regulator Ofcom and the show's network, ITV, have received almost 4500 complaints, prompting an investigation into the show's finale.

Both females wore lingerie-like outfits, but provocatively shook their hips a little too much for the nearly 20 million viewers watching. Although the finale aired at the 7-9PM slot, before what the U.K. calls the "watershed" hour or 9PM outset for adult content, ITV and the show face the possibility of being slapped with fines, if found guilty for breaking section 1.3 of the British broadcasting code. The rule charges that "children must be protected by appropriate scheduling from material that is unsuitable for them."

Two men were arrested for breaking into the Connecticut home of 50 Cent, Tuesday (Dec. 21), to have a sip of wine. TMZ is reporting that the two suspects were apprehended inside the 52-room mansion, with one of the men, Alexander Hernandez, hiding in the closet drinking wine belonging to the Queens rapper. The second man, Santos Padilla, was found in another area of the house.

According to the New Britain Police Department, officers received a tip around 6:00AM Tuesday, and headed over to the sprawling estate. Upon their arrival, they noticed an unidentified vehicle in the driveway and headed inside to investigate. The criminals are believed to have entered the house through an unlocked door and were in possession of marijuana. It was unclear if they managed to lift any other items besides the booze.

Chris Brown has officially completed his court-appointed domestic violence classes, and the singer couldn't be happier about the accomplishment.

Brown posted a picture of his diploma for completion on his Twitter page. "I'm done with class," he wrote next to the photo. The Virginia native also added a few words of reflection on the matter. "I have enough self-respect and decency to be proud of accomplishing this DV class," he wrote. "Boyz run from [their] mistakes .... Men learn from them!"

Brown was ordered to take the 52-week course after physically assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Additionally, he was sentenced to five years of probation and 180-days of community labor. Following the public backlash surrounding his actions, Brown has owned up to his mistakes and received flying colors from L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg, who previously warned that if Brown did not take the sentence seriously, a trip to jail was imminent.

Lil Wayne's show-stealing performance with Eminem on 'Saturday Night Live' this past weekend left the New Orleans rapper feeling energized and ready to get back to work. Weezy took to his blog following the performance to thank fans and to preview one of the shots from his upcoming Rolling Stone cover feature.

"Hello World & Fellow Martians! I hope you enjoyed my 'Saturday Night Live' performance. I can't describe what it felt like being back in my element," he wrote. "I wanted to share some behind the scenes photos from my Rolling Stone photo shoot. The shoot was in Miami two weeks ago and just being able to do this type of stuff again is therapeutic." With the note, Wayne posted a behind-the-scenes photo, which was snapped by DJ Scoob Doo. The snapshot shows a shirtless Wayne in a photo studio as he poses for the professional lenses. Wayne last appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone (see photo) in February.

The company that bought Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch is looking into the idea of turning it into a performing arts school.

According to TMZ, Colony Capital recently rehabbed the 2,500 acre property and wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a campus similar to the Juilliard School in New York City. The Midland prep school already boarders the property to its south, so converting Jackson's old home into a school, would not be a far stretch.

Problems arise in getting approval from the county and using Jackson's name to plug the facility. Sources connected to the Jackson camp told TMZ they were open to the idea. Other ideas for the Santa Barbara estate have included turning it into a Michael Jackson theme park/museum or a state park.

Eminem is getting into the Christmas spirit. Slim Shady will broadcast one of the September Home and Home concerts he co-headlined with Jay-Z in Detroit on his satellite radio station, Shade 45.

The concert will air at 8PM on New Year's Eve. "If you weren't there, this is what it sounded like," Em joked on air on Monday.

While Jay-Z and Eminem are no strangers to performing in arenas, the concerts marked the first time hip-hop commandeered multiple stadiums back to back. Two sold-out concerts were played at the Detroit ballpark, with Jay-Z opening for Eminem, while Eminem returned the favor for Jigga man during a two-night run at New York's Yankee Stadium two weeks later. Multiple guests turned up on stage for each concert. The first night of the Detroit concerts began with an opening set from B.o.B and included guests Dr. Dre, D12, 50 Cent, Young Jeezy and G-Unit.
