An exhausted T.I. continued his book tour with a signing at Barnes & Noble at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica on Wednesday (Oct. 26). Despite his grueling promotional schedule, Tip happily greeted fans and autographed copies of his first novel Power & Beauty.
Common celebrated the release of his new memoir One Day It’ll All Make Sense with a rooftop soirée hosted by the Moet Rose Lounge in his hometown of Chicago on Tuesday night.

T.I. is back behind bars, but that can’t stop his grind. The Atlanta rapper’s website has unveiled the cover art for his novel Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets (HarperCollins). The fictional tale, co-authored by Tip and David Ritz, follows two friends who grew up on the mean streets of Atlanta, and will hit bookstores on October 18. The imprisoned MC is also prepping his VH1 reality series “T.I.’s Family Hustle,” set to premiere in December.
