The rescue-dog fanatics at PETA are desperate for a new publicity stunt. Hoping to cash-in on T.I.’s fame and faux image overhaul, they’ve asked the Rubberband Man to pose nude for their ‘I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur’ campaign. “We’re asking T.I. to use his fame and his experiences to bare the truth about the fur industry by baring his skin,” said PETA Executive Vice President, Tracy Reiman. Proceed to see contents of the letter PETA wrote to T.I.P.

T.I. kicked off his 366-day vacation at the Clink Hotel today. Yet, for some odd reason, there’s just not enough T.I. news out on the web. So I’ve compiled a link dump of T.I.-related stories from around the web.

T.I. and Xzibit flash a smile for the camera at the latter’s San Diego concert. Oh hey, you should probably follow X to tha Z on Twitter since he’s giving away $10,000 and other heavenly goodies to random Twitteronians.

T.I. Dr. Dre = Shit Popped Off

Dr. Dre is too busy selling headphones to write his own rhymes these days, so he’s relegated songwriting duties to Crooked I, Eminem, and now T.I. I’m not completely sold on Tip’s take here, but I suspect that it will grow on me once Doc finds time to lay his vocals on it.

Here’s Tip touching on the C-Breezy vs Rihanna saga. “I told him, ‘this too shall pass.’”

Here’s T.I. getting super excited about the ladies at his Black Men magazine photoshoot.

Last night at NY’s Highline Ballroom, Jay took the evening off from babysitting Bleek to show his support for Paper Trail. Tip bumbled through his verse from “Swagga Like Us” then brought out the big homey for the kill.

It’s basically T.I. spinning around, while some woozy noises play in the background, in a bid to remind you that today is Paper Trail Day.

It’s not Barack Obama that John McCain has to be worried about, it’s T.I. Turns out the Rubberband Man’s Myspace discipleship is 2 Million strong. Unconventional wisdom suggests that if Tip decides to jump into the presidential race today and instructs his friends to vote his way, McCain is doomed.

In case you’re wondering, McCain can only boast of a mere 64,000 friends (as of today). Not that I expected zillions of Myspacers to befriend a guy who’s never used a computer, but the disparity in friend count is huge.

You hear that, Clifford? It’s not too late to run as a 3rd party candidate. I hear Hillary is looking for a veep job these days. Your 2 million friends plus her 18 million supporters would prove an unstoppable force.

Ludacris & T.I. - “I Wish You Would”

Produced By Toomp, “Wsh You Would” is taken from Luda’s Theater of the Mind, due in September. I remember when these two used to diss each other on songs. Now they jock each other on songs.
