Chris Brown and Usher Joint Tour

According to producer Bryan Michael Cox, dancing phenoms and R&B singers Chris Brown and Usher will soon be going on tour together. Bryan asked viewers on a video posted on YouTube “Usher and the boy Chris Brown are going on tour, y’all know that, right? I might’ve just gave y’all some exclusive s—!” Their respective reps have yet to confirm the tour but Chris did go on Twitter and said “What would you guys say if me and Usher went on tour?” Will you go and buy tickets to any of their concerts if Chris and Usher did tour together?

Chris Brown Induced Tears with Drops

There have been a lot of mixed responses to Chris Brown’s emotional Michael Jackson tribute at the BET Awards a couple of weeks ago. Some were touched by the R&B singer’s seemingly sincere breakdown while others claimed that he shed crocodile tears. I gave him the benefit of the doubt but reports are suggesting that he really is a douche bag. Sources backstage say that before Chris went on stage, his bodyguard gave him tear-inducing eye drops. Was he so desperate to get back in a favorable light with his audience that he’d exploit someone’s death? He is such an ass!

Chris Brown Gives to Charity

Days before Chris Brown was denied entrance into the UK over the whole Rihanna issue, the R&B singer was busy trying to rebuild his image by donating two giant checks to two charities in two days. Chris went on Twitter to share the pictures of himself doing some good deeds earlier this week by handing off checks worth $25,000 to the American Red Cross and the Central Virginia Food Bank. Yes, because charity is absolutely worthless unless other people see proof of it. When is he going to figure out that it’s no use? He should just crawl into a whole and never come back out.

Chris Brown’s past is still haunting him

Actually, haunting him would be quite the understatement: it would seem Chris Brown’s past is biting him in the ass like a hyped-up piranha. The singer apparently has some shows to get to, but he won’t be getting there because the UK has denied him a visa to visit the country. This is what the officials said about not allowing Chris Brown to enter the UK: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns … Each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits.” Things look pretty bleak for Chris Brown it would seem. Oh well, at least he doesn’t need any visas to concert in America… he just needs fans.

Chris Brown’s actions haunt him yet again

There is just no escaping the past for this poor guy, is there? It seems that Chris Brown’s assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna still makes his life difficult to this very day. The singer will be turning 21 on May 5th and he is having trouble finding a venue to host his party because they all want to keep good with Rihanna. This is what a source related about Chris Brown’s predicament: “They don’t want to mess up their relationship, or their potential relationship with Rihanna.” So it’s a private home party for Chris Brown, then. But what better way of celebrating coming off-age than an all-out drunken bash in a mountain home somewhere with close friends. Hopefully Chris Brown will be able to find some of those until the deadline.

Chris Brown Gets Good Marks

Chris Brown had a progress report hearing last Thursday in Los Angeles. The 20-year old R&B singer was praised by the judge noting that he was doing very well by fulfilling the terms of his probation related to last year’s assault of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Chris has already attended 17 of the required 52 domestic violence classes and has completed 32 days of his 180-day total sentence of hard labor. He is due back in court for May 11 for another progress report hearing. With that, the judge said that Chris can now travel out of the country, provided that he gets permission in advance. The judge has already signed an order allowing him to travel out of the country for concerts from May 18 to June 27.

Wrong Photo Op for Chris Brown

Chris Brown posed for a picture with designer Jean-Paul Gaultier at his pro-fighter fashion show which featured models and the designer himself with fake blood and bruises. Where the heck were the R&B singer’s PR people when this photo op was going down? And why wasn’t Chris smart enough to just stay away from this warrior themed fashion show in the first place? It sort of sends the message that it’s ok to fight and beat people up. Considering the rep that has been following Chris around for the past year, I doubt that this helped him any. It’s utterly stupid.

Diddy planning lavish 16th birthday party for son Justin

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is planning a massive party for his son’s 16th birthday – featuring performers Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Lil’ Kim.

The bash for Justin – dubbed ‘The Prince of New York’ – will be filmed for an MTV show when it takes place on Saturday at a Manhattan nightclub.

But Justin, his eldest son, won’t be getting any presents – dad Diddy has asked guests to donate to the relief effort in disaster-hit Haiti instead.

A source said: “The club will be decorated with images from the New York skyline.

“Diddy will perform with his band, Diddy-Dirty Money, but there will also be some big-name performers taking the stage to surprise Justin. It’s going to be big, but it won’t be as lavish as Diddy’s 40th [in November 2009].

“Instead of gifts, guests will be asked to make a donation to the Haiti fund.”

Other guests are expected to include boxer Floyd Mayweather, as well as Jay-Z and Beyonce.

The party will be filmed for MTV reality series My Super Sweet 16, about teenagers’ over-the-top birthday celebrations.

Rihanna is a Lone Fighter

In a recent interview with GQ, Rihanna once again opened up about her ordeal with Chris Brown. The singer specifically talked more about the fall out of the abuse and how she dealt with it all. When asked who helped her through one of the most difficult times of her life, the Barbadian beauty said “Nobody. Really, just the music. And working. ‘Cause I really didn’t want to be around anybody, for them to stare at me and stuff, and feel sorry for me. So I just stayed in the house a lot. Then I started to get cabin fever. I was like, I’m going crazy in here.”

Chris Brown Deletes Twitter

It appears that Chris Brown has decided to do the world a small favor by getting rid of his Twitter account. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in feeling sick of the allusions to Rihanna and just his mindless musings in general. Too bad for the R&B singer, no one really cares about his sinking music career or anything he has to say. If he really wanted to get some praise, he would shut up altogether. I bet people will actually start to applaud if that were to happen. He really needs to realize that no one cares and no one’s going to start caring any time soon.

Chris Brown Whines

Chris Brown took to his official Twitter last Friday to share his displeasure with a number of music retailers who are supposedly refusing to carry his new album ‘Graffiti’. What did he expect? Did he think that the music industry would just greet him with open arms after everything that happened? The R&B singer whined “im tired of this shit. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the fuck do i gotta do… WTF… yeah i said it and i aint retracting shit
im not biting my tongue about shit else… the industry can kiss my ass.”

Chris Brown Keeps Talking

Chris Brown’s 20/20 interview didn’t really have anything in it that’s new regarding the domestic violence incident with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. The R&B singer said “I was wrong for what I did. And I would definitely say that it’s not something that I look past or look over. [It's] something that’s really, really touchy. And, like I said, I’m really sorry for what went down, and [for] what happened.” That’s pretty much the same thing that he’s been saying ever since he decided to talk about it. I just wish that he could figure out that no one is listening to him and believing a word that he says.

Rihanna’s donut stain

The singer was recently spotted by the paparazzi and pictures were taken. In those pictures there appears to be a very disturbing white stain on Rihanna’s pants, on the left leg to be more accurate. Now anybody can understand the occasional donut sugar powder stains or whatnot, but some cannot help but speculate. Rihanna should really be a lot more careful with these little accidents that might affect her newly highly improved popular image. We wouldn’t want Chris Brown to get the upper hand in the race for supporters just yet, now would we? All of Rihanna’s recent heavy confessionals would have been for nothing then.

Chris Brown’s Comeback Attempt a Failure

Chris Brown’s upcoming comeback tour is turning out to be a flop in sales. Tickets went on sale last week and insiders are saying that the numbers were utterly pathetic. I could have told them that even before the tickets went out. Last year, the R&B singer was selling out 20,000 seat arenas and now, he can’t even sell out 1000-2500 seat venues. Every concert date listed on Ticketmaster still has a lot of seats available. I have a feeling that a huge part of this tour, if not the whole tour itself, is going to end up cancelled. It’s obvious that no one is welcoming him back with open arms that easily.

Rihanna speaks to Glamour

She just couldn’t hold it in any longer, could she? Well, she did make it on the front cover. It seems that even though a talk about “the event” with Rihanna was promised for Thursday morning, the singer took the opportunity to spill her guts in Glamour magazine where she did an interview in which she talked about the whole Chris Brown-related incident. When asked about how it had changed her, Rihanna replied the following: I’m stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.” Yes, woe unto the fans of Rihanna for now they have to put up with her not-so satisfying new music. Chris Brown definitely managed to really hit a soft spot there!

Chris Brown will donate proceeds from latest tour

Shamed singer Chris Brown will reportedly donate proceeds from his latest tour to a charity as he continues to try to reform his public image.

The 20-year-old is set to headline an event that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to help and mentor people with intellectual disabilities in Florida.

And he will also donate portion of proceeds from his tour as well as volunteer to help out Best Buddies International, according to reports.

Despite Brown’s recent high-profile conviction for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Anthony Shriver, who is part of the Kennedy clan and heads the charity, said he deserves a new chance.

In a email, he wrote: “I support Chris Brown’s efforts to show the world why he deserves a second chance, given that the commitment he has made to Best Buddies – not only to perform at our Miami Gala, but also to join the Best Buddies family as a volunteer – is a huge step in the right direction. I also appreciate Chris’ generous offer to donate a portion of proceeds from his tour to Best Buddies.

“I believe Chris’ fans will be equally inspired to support Best Buddies’ mission… once they see his enthusiasm and commitment to the cause – and just how much his efforts mean to our participants.”

The non-profit gala will take place in Palm Beach on November 20.

Chris Brown is learning from his mistakes

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;

Chris Brown Works His Way Back to the Scene

Chris Brown has slowly been working his way back into the music world. The 20-year old R&B singer’s recent single ‘I Can Transform Ya’ featuring Lil Wayne has been doing well and his 2008 hit ‘Forever’ managed to work its way back to the top spot on the iTunes R&B chart. A new single called ‘So Cold’ was also just leaked onto the internet earlier this week and Chris went on his Twitter to talk about it saying “OMG as you all know a song leaked today from my album called so cold.. im a lil upset but i pray my album doesnt leak..” I hope it does so no one has to buy it and his album will be a sales flop.

New Chris Brown

Chris Brown recently announced that his song ‘Transformer’ featuring Lil Wayne will be the first single off of his upcoming new album called ‘Graffiti’. The 20-year old R&B singer also wrote on his Twitter about the album saying “Graffiti!!!! Comin soon…. Just finished it…hands down … My best album… That’s all I’mma give away right now… I honestly don’t think the game is ready for the recordz I got coming off the new album…. (not tryna be cocky)!!!! LOL.” A release date for his new album has yet to be announced. I could care less if it comes out in the next 20 years.
