Beyonce delays Malaysia concert
Posted in Beyonce, Concert on the October 22, 2009
Beyonce shelved a Malaysia concert after Islamic conservatives slammed the slated show as immoral.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party sought cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur concert on October 25 on the basis it would push “Western sexy performances”.
But Beyonce has only delayed her concert, postponing to an unspecified “future date”.
In 2007, Beyonce cancelled a Malaysia show due to dress code. Female performers in Malaysia are required to cover up from shoulder-to-knee, with no cleavage showing. The organisers, Marctensia, last month stated that an agreement had been reached among all parties over concerns her dress would be inappropriate.
But the company said: “The postponement is solely [the] decision of the artiste and has nothing to do with other external reasons.”
Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have both met with conservative protests but gone ahead with performances in Malaysia.

Chris Brown is learning from his mistakes
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the October 22, 2009
The singer has recently given an interview in which he apparently tries to reason with everybody that what he did was perfectly natural and excusable. Here’s what Chris Brown said about himself: I’m human. If people feel a certain way, I’m not going to say they’re wrong. But it’s not right to judge somebody when people make mistakes all the time. I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it.” Heartening as his words are, Chris Brown seems to be overlooking one small detail: everybody loves judging everybody else. So, if he messed up, he should be sure it’ll be on his rap sheet for a long, long time… but, no need to worry, that’s what makes the lesson all the more valuable;
Lil Wayne is guilty
Posted in Hip-Hop, Lil Wayne on the October 22, 2009
Apparently, it was a very short hearing. Probably not wanting to go against any irrefutable evidence, Lil Wayne just went ahead and pleaded guilty to the possession charges and admitted that he did indeed have a loaded semi-automatic .40 caliber gun on board one of his tour buses two years ago. Apparently, Lil Wayne is facing one years of prison for this one but his sentence will be given in February and he’ll remain free until then. Maybe he’ll decide to confess to some other problems he has with the law, namely charges of drug possession and another of weapon possession. He’s pleaded not guilty to those, but he still has time to change his mind.
