Chris Brown loses Grammy, Wrigley
Posted in Chris Brown, Grammy Awards, Rihanna on the February 11, 2009
What was anticipated as a show-off day for Chris Brown turned the other way around after police barged in the Grammy venue last Sunday and told the organizers that Brown has been accused by a woman of inflicting injuries and threatening her. It turned out that the woman in question was no other than his girlfriend Rihanna, also a Grammy presenter and who also skipped the ceremony. And now, Brown has lost the Grammy and even Wrigley, his sponsor. But will he also lose Rihanna?
Celebrity Kim Kardashian filed her blog with entries on last Sunday’s no show show-offs and said the Grammy was not the same without Rihanna and Brown. Everyone was anticipating what would happen but pressure was on the organizers since they had to figure out how to fill in the presentation slots for the couple. Kardashian said she was looking forward to seeing them. The serious allegation against Brown irked Wrigleys who decided to suspend his advertisements. While they believe in affording Brown due process they decided to suspend Brown’s ads until the whole controversy is resolved.
Britney Spears Settles, to Tour with Kids
Posted in Britney Spears on the February 11, 2009
Britney Spears tour is now 100% on as she has finally reached an agreement regarding being able to take her kids with her. The new deal is generally the same as before except that Kevin Federline will be pulling in an additional $5,000 a week for the duration of the tour, on top of the originally offered $4,000. Plans call for Sean Preston and Jayden James to travel between 3 base camps so Brit can visit with the kids while she’s on tour. The tour agreement solidifies the ex-couples custody agreement in that Britney will continue to see her kids 3 times a week and sometimes even more.
