After urging fans [industry translation: sniveling like a bitch] earlier in the week via the website SayNow.com for help in getting more radio airplay for his singles, Chris Brown kicked it courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game on Friday, exchanging hugs and pounds with actor Tom Cruise and Interscope / Geffen chairman Jimmy Iovine.
The Mechanical Dummy did us all a huge favor by putting the Tiger Woods scandal in perspective during an interview on the radio show Mojo in the Morning, saying “Nobody has the right to place judgment or make any judgment on somebody else’s personal life when they’re not directly involved with them. Whatever his personal life is and I think this goes for me and him – his personal life is his personal life.”
“They might be a fan, or might support what they’re doing but like if he plays golf, that’s his sport, that’s his hobby, that’s his love, that’s what people love him for,” he continued. “They don’t love him for the other stuff that they’re talking about.”
The Rabid Beaver also drew parallels between himself and Chee-tah, commenting “I think, even with me, like I do music, I sing songs, I’m an entertainer, I’m a performer, but people make mistakes. So my hat is off to him – I support him, I hope he gets back on the field and does his thing, because he is the best at it.”
No bowtie, no original commentary.
In this episode of “The 5,” Chris Brown explains the inspiration behind his latest album Graffiti, how he’s trading in his classic cardigans for something a little more couture, and his posi-core message for the future. Plus, hear how Orlando became his home away from home. (Sorry, Atlanta. Try not to get too jealous!) And, finally, Chris reveals why this album is his most personal yet. [MTV]
All signs may point to the emergency room but Intergalactic Beaver isn’t up to his old tricks again. Iconic designer Jean Paul Gaultier filled his runway presentation with pro-fighter themes and adorned himself in the same brutalized fake blood and bruises as his models.
Rihanna and BFF / assistant Melissa jetted out of JFK this morning. The Barbadian recently got inked up again at her favorite NYC tattoo spot East Side Ink. Her latest tat reads ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ but backwards. Girl, I guess.
The homie LowKey got his hands on the new issue of Vibe and laced BET’s Sound Off blog with the following quotes from Chris Brown’s interview with the magazine.
ON THE BET AWARDS
“It was wack. I’ll keep it a hundred. The BET Awards was horrible. I was watching it, holding my face like, ‘Oh my God this is wack’. I didn’t get it. Michael Jackson was such a big entertainer. And I’m not dissing any of the artists who did the songs. But I was expecting a lot more energy for Michael. And BET Awards usually comes hard. I was expecting them to have Usher, Omarion and even Justin. And I was expecting Ne-Yo to dance. They were so bent on not getting me there that they messed up their own show.”
ON BEING SCRUTINIZED BY OPRAH
“I didn’t get a call from them or anything. I felt embarrassed, but at the same time I felt stabbed in the back. Ok, Oprah you have so much power and people really listen to what you say. You don’t know anything that went down and you jump to conclusions and start brining people on the set that have no similarities to me other than a domestic dispute. And then compare them to me when she’s around me and knows me. She could have called me and been like, “Chris, let me get you on my show and I’m going to do this kind of segment.”
Although his album won’t be available in stores until next week Polow Da Don [who is currently on The Russell Jones Diet] treated Chris Brown to an album release party at Atlanta hot spot Opera on Thursday night. NeNe, Uncle Curtis, Uncle Boolie, Uncle Bebo, or Kim Zoliack’s wig were all tardy for the party but Diddy, Esther Dean, DJ Clue, and Sammie were seen on the scene.
