Chris Brown’s Comeback Attempt a Failure
Posted in Chris Brown, Concert, Tickets Sale on the November 9, 2009
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
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the November 3, 2009
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
Posted in Chris Brown, Concert, Concert Tour, Rihanna on the October 23, 2009
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
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;
Chris Brown Works His Way Back to the Scene
Posted in Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Twitter, iTunes on the October 16, 2009
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
Posted in Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Twitter on the September 10, 2009
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.
Oprah: Chris Brown needs counselling
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the September 3, 2009
Oprah Winfrey has urged Chris Brown to seek counselling.
The talk show queen hit back at comments that the disgraced singer, who was convicted of beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna, made to a US magazine.
Brown said that he felt the fact Oprah dedicated one of her shows to domestic violence - which she said was inspired by the Umbrella singer - was a “slap in [the face]“.
He said: “I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem.’ But it was a slap in my face.
“I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school.”
R&B star Brown, 20, added: “She could have been more helpful, like, ‘OK, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”
A representative for Winfrey, 55, said: “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school, but she takes domestic abuse very seriously.
“She hopes he gets the counselling he needs.”
Brown was sentenced last month to 180 days physical labour and five years’ probation.
Chris Brown Aims for a Comeback Slowly
Posted in Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Video on the August 26, 2009
Chris Brown filmed a cameo in Keri Hilson’s new ‘Slow Dance’ music video in Los Angeles last week. The 20-year old R&B singer seems to be taking the slow route when it comes to attempting to make a comeback by only taking on very little appearances and cameos. Chris is expected to be back in court for sentencing this week for assaulting Rihanna after a party earlier this year. Maybe that’s why he’s still keeping his schedule light. Recently, a new track from Chris, called ‘Changed Man’, was leaked and people believe that this was some sort of apology for the Barbadian beauty.
Rihanna’s testimony not for prying eyes
Posted in Chris Brown, Rihanna on the June 22, 2009
The singer who is going to testify against her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, who assaulted her earlier this year, will be doing so behind closed doors. It seems that Rihanna’s testimony will not be televised so we won’t be able to see what she’s going to say about what Chris Brown did. Oh well, guess we’ll have to settle for the press release… but it’s just not fair! It’s not fair that so many of Rihanna’s fans will not get the chance to see her slander her former boyfriend. But then again, why not be good Christians about this and consider the fact that this will be a lot easier on poor Chris Brown who has a lot on his shoulders lately.
Chris Brown’s Lawyer Wants Case Dismissed
Posted in Chris Brown, Music, Rihanna on the May 4, 2009
If you’re wondering about that big bargain that went down regarding Chris Brown’s trial, sources claim that the R&B singer’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, has swayed the Superior Court judge into delaying his case until May 28th. Apparently, his primary goal is to have the case dismissed all together. He thinks the case against Chris should be thrown out because of the number of leaked classified information over the past few months, including the picture of Rihanna’s injuries. A criminal defense attorney commented on the situation saying “Geragos makes an issue of leaked evidence, it’s unlikely the judge will dismiss the case. It’s not police conduct at issue here, it’s Chris Brown’s.”
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z furious with Chris Brown
Posted in Chris Brown, JAY-Z, Rihanna on the February 12, 2009
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is extremely pissed with the actions of Chris Brown over his alleged assault on R&B star Rihanna. And Jay-Z has indicated that he is not going to keep mum over the incident and will vent his anger and Chris Brown will have to bare the brunt.
The Los Angeles Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Brown and he later himself turned up for the investigations into felony battery with a woman who is believed to be Rihanna. Jay-Z is the one who discovered Rihanna and then mentored her and is therefore enraged upon hearing the allegations.
He has said to a US magazine - “He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew.”
These threats are ridiculous! Certainly what has happen is horrible but threatening him will do no good. Just say that u’r pissed or can’t believe it or whatever. The only women he should be threatening people over is Beyonce (not to mention his family!) THAT’S IT!
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.
Rihanna and Chris Brown Duet
Posted in Chris Brown, Duet, Rihanna on the January 14, 2009
Rihanna and Chris Brown not only have a lot of fun when they’re together, the couple also happens to work hard together too. The pair has recently put together a new track called ‘Bad Girl’ which has been leaked out on the internet. The song will be included in the soundtrackfor the film ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’. Producer Polow da Don told MTV about his meeting with the film producers saying “So that night I went to the studio and I was telling Chris about (the meeting). And he was like, ‘Let’s get on it.’ It was crazy, because Jerry Bruckheimer’s dream was to have a song from Rihanna (for the movie), and I delivered Rihanna and Chris Brown in 24 hours. So they were like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy.’â€
Rihanna Works with Chris Brown and Obama
Posted in Barack Obama, Chris Brown, Rihanna on the December 24, 2008
Rihanna recently performed at the B96 Jingle Bash at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois last week. The 20-year old Barbadian babe belted it out along with Chris Brown, David Archuleta and Jesse McCartney. Chris has revealed some his plans for 2009 which includes a collaboration with his girlfriend Rihanna on some new music. Also in line for Rihanna, the Washington Post reveals that the RIAA is hoping to close a deal to have the singer headline the association’s January 20 inaugural charity ball for Barack Obama at Ibiza nightclub. Rihanna works with everyone from her boyfriend to the President!
Rihanna Goes Down Under
Posted in Chris Brown, Concert, Rihanna on the September 19, 2008
Rihanna and Chris Brown will be heading to New Zealand next month for a couple of performances at Auckland’s Vector Arena and Wellington’s TSB Arena. The tour then heads over to Australia. This marks the first performances for either singer in these countries and the first time they have held a joint concert. What, they can’t tour without their significant other now? Regarding the concerts, Rihanna says “I think it’s whack if you tell people what you’re going to do on set because then nobody has the interest in coming to see it. It’s all about not knowing what to expect. I don’t want to give away my show … Just expect Chris is gonna be there!”
Chris Brown Talks Caps
Posted in Chris Brown, R&B on the September 17, 2008
Chris Brown is making a foray into the fashion world by having a new line of caps. The 19-year old Prince of R&B says that he was greatly involved in the designing. He says that he’s always drawing and he had the initial design for the hats ready. New Era then had another artist tweak the design for the combined effort. About his collection, he says “Yeah, I was doing six individual hats, where they got me to personally design the hats. And so I got a chance to do something more for the kids and not necessarily go into “high fashion” yet. This is more for the casual back-to-school kids, the everyday person that just wants to be casual. Later on in the future, I’ll do more higher fashion stuff.”
Rihanna Catches Private Screening
Posted in Chris Brown, R&B, Rihanna on the July 30, 2008
Rihanna caught a private screening of Paramount Pictures’ ‘Tropic Thunder’ at the Regal Cinemas theatre in New York City’s Times Square on Tuesday night. The 20-year old Barbadian singer was accompanied by a couple of her girlfriends and her bodyguard. She arrived just before the movie started and left before the ending credits finished. That’s some shady behavior. She wasn’t with Chris Brown anyway. She could have at least showed her face to some fans. Or maybe she was rushing home to Chris because she went out to watch a movie without him. It was probably supposed to be their date night.

Rihanna Takes a Bow
Posted in Chris Brown, Hit Song, New Single, R&B, Radio Show, Rihanna on the March 18, 2008
Rihanna made the world premiere of her latest single ‘Take a Bow’ on Friday morning on Ryan Seacrest’s ‘On Air’ radio show on 102.7 KIIS FM Los Angeles. The song is about a break up with the girl just being spiteful and pitying on the guy. Much like Rihanna’s previous singles, let’s hope this one becomes a hit too. Let’s make 2008 her year as well. I’m just hoping that the song’s subject doesn’t happen to her though. Despite still not admitting it, everyone already knows that she and R&B crooner Chris Brown are dating. I’m hoping they last. They look cute together.
Rihanna is Single
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Chris Brown, JAY-Z, R&B, Rihanna on the March 5, 2008
Everyone pretty much knows that Rihanna and Chris Brown have a ‘very special’ relationship but when asked if she’s dating Chris, Rihanna is hell-bent on denying it. In an interview with the UK’s Fabulous magazine, the 20-year Barbadian signer is flat-out asked if she’s dating the 18-year old R&B crooner. Her response was “I’m single. If a good guy comes along we’ll make it work, but for now I’m having fun being a single woman.”
Oh well. Beyonce and Jay-Z dated for years before they came out with the truth. I guess she’s just playing with the new rules of dating in the business.
