Brown isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, and neither is Chris. Recapping his stupid (“Stupid” isn’t a word I use often, but if you have a better fitting word in your vocabulary, enlighten me.) would take all day, but I only have 15 minutes. Comparing him to a train wreck would be disrespectful…to trains. An 8-ton locomotive derailing is probably far more delicate than Chris’ knee-jerk reactions to controversy.
Reports state Chris didn’t throw a punch in the fight over a parking space with Frank Ocean, however, the “Look At Me Now“ and “Nobody’s Business” singer, who is still on probation, was spotted with a hard cast over his right hand. How smart of him? Chris, I know you don’t want me to judge you, but you’re making it quite difficult. Read More →

Thanks to the countless memes, Drake hasn’t been able to live down his stint on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Canadian rap battle league King of the Dot held a reunion of sorts between Degrassi alumni “Wheelchair” Jimmy and Shane Kippel’s “Spinner” Mason, the bully with a conscience. Kippel uploaded a photo of himself and Drake on his twitter, leaving many to assume Jimmy’s stem-cell surgery was indeed a success. Read More →
Rihanna covers the latest issue of Rolling Stone, shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson. In the issue, the 24-year-old superstar speaks on her image and reconciling with Chris Brown.
On the public’s perception. “I decided it was more important for me to be happy. I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.” Read More →
While highly successful and extremely popular singers Chris Brown and Frank Ocean were fighting over a single Los Angeles parking space, JoJo, an underexposed talent whose career is being stifled by her record label, endured a 14-hour shoot for “André” at The Hive Gallery & Studios and other L.A. locations.
The song, inspired by the mystic half of Outkast, is lifted from her Agápē mixtape, which she released in commemoration of her 22nd birthday. Read More →
