The 'Live Your Life' star had been serving a 10-month sentence at the Arkansas Forrest City Correctional Facility for a probation violation, but Chris Burke - the spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons - confirmed that T.I. left the jail this morning (August 31) at 7.29am CST. 

He tweeted a message to his fans and followers earlier this afternoon:

"Feels great to be back where I belong … Back in the arms of those who need me the most. The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!"

Watch him perform 'Whatever You Like' here:

Example is at the top with his new offering, 'Stay Awake', while singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is following very closely behind at No.2 with 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You'. 

Olly Murs, who celebrated a No.1 single over the weekend with 'Heart Skips A Beat', is now at No.3 and Maroon 5 have moved down 1 place to No.5 with their Christina Aguilera collaboration, 'Moves Like Jagger'. 

These positions are due to be confirmed on Sunday, September 4 although the Official Charts Company has admitted that Example is on course to stay at the top. Check out his video for 'Stay Awake' here:

The band have knocked Will Young's 'Echoes' down from the coveted No.1 position after it debuted there on Sunday, August 28 and he now sits at No.3. David Guetta had the second highest new entry of the week at No.2 with 'Nothing But The Beat'. 

There are 4 other new entries in the albums chart Top 10 this week and Bombay Bicycle Club are leading them at No.5. Lil Wayne's long awaited new offering 'Tha Carter 4' has gone in at No.7, Dolly Parton's 'Better Day' is at No.9 and Hayley Westenra's 'Paradiso' is at 10.

The Spice Girls star explained to Britain's Hello! magazine that getting inked at such a young age has left her wishing that she had waited and thought more about such a permanent decision. 

"Some of them. I was very young and I've changed a lot since then, plus some of them are in more prominent places."

She added that her very public career has also been affected by her 10 tattoos, most recently during her role in Blood Brothers where significant time was spent disguising the designs:

"When I did Blood Brothers on stage I had to cover them up, which was a messy job involving acrylic paint and glue."

Watch her video for 'Think About It' here:

The record, which is currently untitled, is due for release on November 7 and Welch spoke to Radio 1's Zane Lowe about its progress and how she is "learning restraint" to control her often raw vocal style:

"I'm still learning how to sing. I'm learning restraint. When I first started singing, I just used to scream all the time. When I first played in pubs and clubs with just an electric guitar it was the only way to get people to pay attention, but I think I've got more control now having performed a lot more, I'm still screaming at some points though."

The first track from the forthcoming album has already debuted and you can watch the video for 'What The Water Gave Me' here:

In a new interview with BBC 6 Music, the star explained that his solo project is going really well and the band are heading back to record more new material early in the new year:

"February or the end of January we will be in (the studio) doing our album. We've got enough material for another record and that is what we shall do, whether people like it or not."

He also opened up about his legal battle against Noel and said that while the proceedings make him "feel sad" it was necessary to take a stand as his reputation was being both publicly and professionally sullied:

"Listen, that had to happen, I don't take lightly to be called a fraud. I feel sad but I feel a lot sadder that there are people walking around thinking that I wouldn't get out of bed because I had a few beers. I've called the dogs off a little bit but there still a few things that need to be cleared up, I didn't like doing it and it hurts a lot of people around it but it had to be done."

Watch his band perform 'The Beat Goes On' at this year's Reading festival below:

The band rocked Reading and Leeds festivals over the weekend and were scheduled to perform around "North America in September and Japan and Europe in October", but have today (August 31) released a statement that explains these gigs can no longer go ahead as planned:

"Unfortunately, the doctor has now confirmed that, this week, he will be operating on my (Justin Young) throat for a third time this year."

"In a bid to allow my throat to recover and rehabilitate completely, we will be cancelling all shows, including our trips to North America in September and Japan and Europe in October."

He did, however, reassure fans that the gigs will be rescheduled and he plans to make up for the cancellations after undergoing "the best vocal therapy available":

"We will resume with our touring commitments in Paris on October 26th before supporting our friends the Arctic Monkeys here in the UK. This allows me to have eight weeks of the best vocal therapy available, allowing the best possible chance of complete recovery."

The 'Run The World (Girls)' superstar performed a consecutive string of dates at the iconic venue under the live title of '4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé' and has now unveiled a couple of behind-the-scenes videos detailing both her preparation and intentions for the sell-out shows. 

Speaking to her crew in one of the videos, she says: "The concept is really smart and emotional and you see me as human being. More than just music it tells the story of how I got to this point and that's why I feel it's important. Let's tell the story."

The exciting news was unveiled during a new interview with Rolling Stone, in which Buckingham opened up about the iconic band's hiatus and hinted that a reunion is almost a certainty. 

"We're doing something for sure. I wouldn't be shocked if it was a tour and possibly an album. We'll have to wait and see. Nothing is on the books right now."

"With Fleetwood Mac, there's a lot of landmines out there politically and it's hard to get everybody on the same page at the same time - but I think this might be one of those years where everyone will want to do the same thing. Whatever that is."

Member Stevie Nicks has been actively performing since the group's '04 break, and fans will now be anxiously waiting for more details on a possible reunion. Buckingham added:

"Working in a band is a lot like what I imagine making movies is like. It's political and it takes a lot of verbalisation to get from point A to point B. When I work alone, it's more like painting. You are one with the canvas and it's a subconscious, meditative process."

Aptly titled 'The Making of Game's R.E.D. Album', the book was co-written by hip-hop journalist Soren Baker and details the record's studio sessions and almost two-year hold up. Game released an official statement on this new project, which read:

"I wanted to give my fans a behind-the-scenes look of how my new album came to be. These are my stories in my own words. This book is the only place where you'll learn all the stories behind the music -- how I got the beats, what inspired the lyrics and how the album was put together."

The book is now digitally available and a paperback version will follow. Watch him talk about his new record in a recent interview below:

Now, the former Disney star has landed a dream film role. Jonas has previously starred in the teen Disney Channel Original Movie 'Camp Rock' and its sequel, 'Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam', but his transition from Jonas Brother to 'See No More' solo star has signified a career transition. 

He revealed to E! News that after a nerve-wracking wait, it was finally confirmed that the exciting project had been financed and was going ahead:

"I was in Mexico City last week and my manager called me and said, 'The movie's financed!' I was, like, in tears."

Robert Munic, who wrote the screenplay for Channing Tatum's '09 movie 'Fighting', is penning the script for the movie although no further details have been given. Jonas added:

"The storyline is still bare bones, but I will say he (my character) has a specific dream that he wants to accomplish, and it's the good and the bad he has to go through to get there."

The 'Whatever You Like' star is currently spending a 10-month sentence for a probation violation at the Arkansas Forrest City Correctional Facility. He is nearing the end of his jail term, which is set to finish on September 29, and has been tipped to leave before his time is up.

His lawyer, Jonathan Leonard, has now shot down rumours that he will walk free one month early and released a statement that explained his contact with the Bureau of Prisons is limited:

"The Bureau of Prisons they won't give you the information (about T.I.'s release) until the very last minute... You don't have any real contact with them (prison officials); they don't communicate with you and they don't tell you when exactly he's gonna be released."

Watch his music video for 'I'm Back' below:

'If I Had A Gun' is the second track to be debuted from his upcoming album, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', and it was first played on L.A's KROQ radio station. 

It's a mid-tempo laid back offering that finds its charm in the collision between its evocative lyrics with the simple yet memorable melody. 

The group's debut single, 'The Death of You and Me', made a solid appearance in the UK charts this weekend at No.15. Check out 'If I Had A Gun', in full, below:

During the ceremony, the 29-year-old 'Halo' hitmaker unveiled a small but prominent baby bump at the end of her live performance (August 28) and it prompted a phenomenal response on the social networking site. 

Twitter's global PR account explained that the public unveiling of her pregnancy caused an incredible "8,868 Tweets per second".
