“T.I. just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” police said.

If only all celebrities were this helpful. What's Lindsay Lohan done for you lately? A man in his 20s who threatened to jump off the roof of an Atlanta hotel was persuaded not to take his own life by the rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris. T.I. said that he happened upon the scene and told the unidentified man that a person can “make it through anything.” T.I.’s facing some difficulties of his own this week. A judge could revoke his probation after he and his wife were arrested on drug charges in Los Angeles last month. He’s been on probation since 2009 as a result of being caught buying machine guns in the parking lot of an Atlanta grocery store.
