Lil Wayne "Free at Last" from Jail
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. -- or as he's known to fans, Lil Wayne -- is a free man. The 28-year-old rapper was released from Rikers Island in New York City on Thursday morning after serving eight months of a 1-year sentence on a weapons conviction.
The man behind the chart-topping album I Am Not Human was released early on good behavior, despite the fact that he spent the end of his sentence in solitary for "sneaking headphones and a charger for an MP3 player into his cell earlier this year."
A department rep confirmed his release to E! Online: "He left according to standard procedures in correction vehicle, but not with others. It's unusual in the sense that if you have a high profile inmate you have to transport him individually. It's a modification of our standard procedure. In this case different arrangements were made because of his extraordinarily high profile. He was dropped at an undisclosed location and met by his associates."
So now that Weezy is out of jail, what's his first order of business? Mack Maine, the president of Lil Wayne's record label, told MTV.com that his friends and music family will join him for a party at a Miami strip club. "(We plan) to just treat him like a king, like the royalty that he is and make him feel like we really missed him and welcome him back to the family, basically," he said.
Maine wasn't the only one excited about Lil' Wayne's release, as the star's manager Cortez Bryant tweeted, "FREE AT LAST!!!!!!!" Even former President Bill Clinton (yes, you read that right!) gave his opinion on Weezy during an interview with 96.1 Kiss FM's Morning Freak Show. "This guy's smart," he said. "And he's got abilities. And he's got a new chance now. And what I hope is that this is not just something to brand him as a cool guy, but that it'll never happen again to him."
On Tuesday Lil Wayne himself, who kept in touch with fans via his website Weezythanxyou.com during his time behind bars, insisted he didn't let his jail time get him down. "I was never scared, worried nor bothered by the situation," he said.
Do you think Lil Wayne deserves a second chance? Chime in below!

James Franco Says '127 Hours' Is A Blend Of 'Acting' And 'Experience'
'Parts of the way we approached this performance are authentic on a real level,' Franco explained about director Danny Boyle's latest film.

Being an actor isn't always easy — just ask "127 Hours" star James Franco. Sure, there are paparazzi and the pitfalls of celebrity to deal with, but sometimes you're posed with other challenges — for example, you might have to operate climbing gear entirely with your left hand while being trapped inside of a claustrophobic canyon.
That's exactly what Franco was forced to overcome while shooting "127 Hours," the latest feature film from "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle. Based on the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston, who got pinned beneath a boulder in Utah and had free himself by amputating his own arm, "127 Hours" put Franco into some truly compromising situations. The end result, according to the actor, was a performance that occasionally crossed the border between acting and real-life experience.
"You could write [in a screenplay] that he tries to tie the pulley and then he gets frustrated, you can do that moment, but actually trying to do [that while] being trapped, and doing it with my left hand, and doing that for like 15 minutes, I remember yelling out [the F-word] a couple of times," Franco told MTV News of his experience. "That was like the character and me blurring at that moment."
As Boyle explained, Franco was largely left to his own devices during the shooting, not only for creative reasons, but also because of physical restrictions. "In the canyon [where we were filming], you couldn't really fit anybody in there [aside from Franco and two cameramen]," said the director. "I wasn't in there. I was outside. I had a video link and a microphone so I could talk to them if I needed to and I could hear them, obviously, because I was linked to James' mic. But there was only room for a cameraman in there."
As if his virtual solitude wasn't difficult enough, Boyle left Franco to film his own performance for long stretches of time, although only a portion of these takes made it into the movie's final cut. "We ended up doing these really long takes, and then we'd use little snatches of them in the film, which makes it feel really vibrant," said the director. "You only get bits of it, but [Franco] would have to go through the whole process of trying to rig that. To rig a pulley one-handed is really tough, and it wasn't like we could stop and say, 'OK, props, could you come and rig the pulley for James here while [he] relaxes?' He had to rig the pulley. There were a couple of times where it was really tough to do one-handed."
"For me, that really showed how parts of the way we approached this performance are authentic on a real level," Franco said in summarizing the experience. "[We're] blurring the line between acting and experiencing, giving yourself physical tasks and trying to really complete them in a way."

This year's "Today" show Halloween segment may have been short on Matt Lauer, but the show made up for it thanks to cameos from Will Ferrell and Tina Fey as their "Megamind" characters. But even those superstars were upstaged by some crafty costumes worn by the "Today" show hosts Friday morning (October 29).
In what turned out to be one complex segment, the Halloween fun started with Lauer and Roker looking at "Megamind" footage in a pretaped segment. Then the story went a bit zany. As Roker escorted a Clark Kent-looking Lauer out of the building, Lauer used his highly sensitive hearing to sense that Fey was in trouble.
In order to become Superman, he entered a phone booth to call Ferrell's Megamind to meet up with him, and out came Roker, in Lauer's place, as Superman. Ferrell and Roker then rushed to the side of Fey (dressed as "Megamind" reporter Roxanne Ritchi) to save her and toss to an old-timey newsreel, in which Ann Curry made her entrance as Amelia Earhart, who apparently had been hiding out in 30 Rock for the better part of a century.
Once she reemerged in the modern world, Earhart said she'd noticed that a lot has changed. Like what? Well, music. With that, Natalie Morales came out playing a convincing Justin Bieber, all the way down to the dance moves during "Baby."
But it was Meredith Vieira as the "monster of all monsters," Lady Gaga, dressed in the Armani orbit gown the singer wore to the Grammy Awards earlier this year, that really upped the production value. She sang the pop star's hit "Bad Romance," complete with backup dancers.
